This commit adds a framework to abstract runtime code patching.
Components in the new framework can provide functions for either
patching a named function or a function pointer. The later
functionality is not being used but may provide a way to allow memory
hooks when dlopen functionality is disabled.
This commit adds two different flavors of code patching. The first is
provided by the overwrite component. This component overwrites the
first several instructions of the target function with code to jump to
the provided hook function. The hook is expected to provide the full
functionality of the hooked function.
The linux patcher component is based on the memory hooks in ucx. It
only works on linux and operates by overwriting function pointers in
the symbol table. In this case the hook is free to call the original
function using the function pointer returned by dlsym.
Both components restore the original functions when the patcher
framework closes.
Changes had to be made to support Power/PowerPC with the Linux
dynamic loader patcher. Some of the changes:
- Move code necessary for powerpc/power support to the patcher
base. The code is needed by both the overwrite and linux
components.
- Move patch structure down to base and move the patch list to
mca_patcher_base_module_t. The structure has been modified to
include a function pointer to the function that will unapply the
patch. This allows the mixing of multiple different types of
patches in the patch_list.
- Update linux patching code to keep track of the matching between
got entry and original (unpatched) address. This allows us to
completely clean up the patch on finalize.
All patchers keep track of the changes they made so that they can be
reversed when the patcher framework is closed.
At this time there are bugs in the Linux dynamic loader patcher so
its priority is lower than the overwrite patcher.

This commit adds support for runtime binary patching. The support is
broken down into two parts: util/opal_patcher.[ch] which contains the
functionality for runtime patching of symbols, and mca/memory/patcher
which patches the various symbols needed to provide support for memory
hooks. This work is preliminary and is based off work donated by IBM.
The patcher code is disabled if dlopen is disabled.

This commit fixes a memory corruption bug when parsing lines of the
form:
-x FOO=bar
The code was making changes to the size of the buffer allocated for
key_buffer without making the appropriate changes to
key_buffer_len. This was causing subsequent calls to save_param_name
to write to invalid memory.
This commit makes the following changes:
- Fix the above bug by modifying trim_name to move the string within
the buffer instead of re-allocating space for the trimmed string.
- Cleaned up both trim_name and save_param_name. Both functions took
a prefix and suffix to trim. Problem was the prefix was not
treated like a prefix. Instead the "prefix" was located inside the
string using strstr then the trimmed value started after the
substring (even in the middle of the string). To allow trimming
both -x and --x (as well as -mca and --mca) trim_name is now
called with each prefix.

This commit adds an opal hash table to keep track of mapping between
process identifiers and ompi_proc_t's. This hash table is used by the
ompi_proc_by_name() function to lookup (in O(1) time) a given

ompi_proc_t when handling an incoming message from an as yet unknown
peer.
Additionally, this commit adds a new MCA variable to control the new
add_procs behavior: mpi_add_procs_cutoff. If the number of ranks in
the process falls below the threshold a ompi_proc_t is created for
every process. If the number of ranks is above the threshold then a
ompi_proc_t is only created for the local rank. The code needed to
generate additional ompi_proc_t's for a communicator is not yet

If we have vsnprintf(), we might as well not have the rest of the
guess_strlen() routine. Also document the nifty trick/behavior of
vsnprintf() that enables this shortcut (it was new to me!).
We recognize that this means other users of OPAL will need to "wrap" the opal_process_name_t if they desire to abstract it in some fashion. This is regrettable, and we are looking at possible alternatives that might mitigate that requirement. Meantime, however, we have to put the needs of the OMPI community first, and are taking this step to restore hetero and SPARC support.
* redefine orte_process_name_t so it can be converted
between host and network format as an opal_identifier_t
aka uint64_t by the OPAL layer.
* correctly send OPAL_DSTORE_ARCH key
Properly setup the opal_process_info structure early in the initialization procedure. Define the local hostname right at the beginning of opal_init so all parts of opal can use it. Overlay that during orte_init as the user may choose to remove fqdn and strip prefixes during that time. Setup the job_session_dir and other such info immediately when it becomes available during orte_init.

WHAT: Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
server-to-server collectives
WHY: We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
requirements.
WHEN: Mon, Aug 25
WHERE: https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git
Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.
All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.
Accordingly, we have:
* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.
* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.
* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint
* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code
* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.
* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand

WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.

As noted by Paul Hargrove, the #if's surrounding the use of statfs()

modern flavors of *BSD OSs no longer define __BSD). Changes:
* Add statfs and statvfs to the AC_CHECK_FUNCS in configure.ac
* Add a sanity check to ensure that we have at least one of statfs()
or statvfs(). Add a similar sanity check in opal/util/path.c, just
as defensive programming.
* Use AC_CHECK_MEMBERS in configure.ac to check for specific struct
statfs/struct statvfs members that we use in opal/util/path.c
* In path.c, add some #includes as listed on the OS man page for
statfs(2) (OS X 10.8.5/Mountain Lion)
* The previous code used statvfs() on Solaris and statfs() everywhere
else. Attempting to replicate this with behavior-based configure
testing led to fairly complicted if/else logic, so the new code
uses whichever of the two are available (i.e., it might actually
use both -- OS X 10.8.5 and RHEL 6.5 have both statfs() and
statvfs()). The rationale here is that we don't really care which
of the two functions report the answer; we'll take the answer
regardless of where it comes from. For example, if one function
returns a failure and the other does not, we'll use the results
from the successful function and ignore the failed one.
This new code seems to work on OS X and Linux. We'll have to see what
happens with MTT and future Paul Hargrove testing...

*** THIS RFC INCLUDES A MINOR CHANGE TO THE MPI-RTE INTERFACE ***
Note: during the course of this work, it was necessary to completely separate the MPI and RTE progress engines. There were multiple places in the MPI layer where ORTE_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION was being used. A new OMPI_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION macro was created (defined in ompi/mca/rte/rte.h) that simply cycles across opal_progress until the provided flag becomes false. Places where the MPI layer blocked waiting for RTE to complete an event have been modified to use this macro.
***************************************************************************************
I am reissuing this RFC because of the time that has passed since its original release. Since its initial release and review, I have debugged it further to ensure it fully supports tests like loop_spawn. It therefore seems ready for merge back to the trunk. Given its prior review, I have set the timeout for one week.

WHAT: Rewrite of ORTE OOB
WHY: Support asynchronous progress and a host of other features
WHEN: Wed, August 21
SYNOPSIS:
The current OOB has served us well, but a number of limitations have been identified over the years. Specifically:
* it is only progressed when called via opal_progress, which can lead to hangs or recursive calls into libevent (which is not supported by that code)
* we've had issues when multiple NICs are available as the code doesn't "shift" messages between transports - thus, all nodes had to be available via the same TCP interface.
* the OOB "unloads" incoming opal_buffer_t objects during the transmission, thus preventing use of OBJ_RETAIN in the code when repeatedly sending the same message to multiple recipients
* there is no failover mechanism across NICs - if the selected NIC (or its attached switch) fails, we are forced to abort
* only one transport (i.e., component) can be "active"
The revised OOB resolves these problems:
* async progress is used for all application processes, with the progress thread blocking in the event library
* each available TCP NIC is supported by its own TCP module. The ability to asynchronously progress each module independently is provided, but not enabled by default (a runtime MCA parameter turns it "on")
* multi-address TCP NICs (e.g., a NIC with both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, or with virtual interfaces) are supported - reachability is determined by comparing the contact info for a peer against all addresses within the range covered by the address/mask pairs for the NIC.
* a message that arrives on one TCP NIC is automatically shifted to whatever NIC that is connected to the next "hop" if that peer cannot be reached by the incoming NIC. If no TCP module will reach the peer, then the OOB attempts to send the message via all other available components - if none can reach the peer, then an "error" is reported back to the RML, which then calls the errmgr for instructions.
* opal_buffer_t now conforms to standard object rules re OBJ_RETAIN as we no longer "unload" the incoming object
* NIC failure is reported to the TCP component, which then tries to resend the message across any other available TCP NIC. If that doesn't work, then the message is given back to the OOB base to try using other components. If all that fails, then the error is reported to the RML, which reports to the errmgr for instructions
* obviously from the above, multiple OOB components (e.g., TCP and UD) can be active in parallel
* the matching code has been moved to the RML (and out of the OOB/TCP component) so it is independent of transport
* routing is done by the individual OOB modules (as opposed to the RML). Thus, both routed and non-routed transports can simultaneously be active
* all blocking send/recv APIs have been removed. Everything operates asynchronously.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
* although provision is made for component failover as described above, the code for doing so has not been fully implemented yet. At the moment, if all connections for a given peer fail, the errmgr is notified of a "lost connection", which by default results in termination of the job if it was a lifeline
* the IPv6 code is present and compiles, but is not complete. Since the current IPv6 support in the OOB doesn't work anyway, I don't consider this a blocker
* routing is performed at the individual module level, yet the active routed component is selected on a global basis. We probably should update that to reflect that different transports may need/choose to route in different ways
* obviously, not every error path has been tested nor necessarily covered
* determining abnormal termination is more challenging than in the old code as we now potentially have multiple ways of connecting to a process. Ideally, we would declare "connection failed" when *all* transports can no longer reach the process, but that requires some additional (possibly complex) code. For now, the code replicates the old behavior only somewhat modified - i.e., if a module sees its connection fail, it checks to see if it is a lifeline. If so, it notifies the errmgr that the lifeline is lost - otherwise, it notifies the errmgr that a non-lifeline connection was lost.
* reachability is determined solely on the basis of a shared subnet address/mask - more sophisticated algorithms (e.g., the one used in the tcp btl) are required to handle routing via gateways
* the RML needs to assign sequence numbers to each message on a per-peer basis. The receiving RML will then deliver messages in order, thus preventing out-of-order messaging in the case where messages travel across different transports or a message needs to be redirected/resent due to failure of a NIC
This commit was SVN r29058.
Provide some nice error messages if we fail to set the limits. Since the user had to specifically request we set the limit, treat failure as an error-out situation.
This commit was SVN r28288.
Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.
This commit was SVN r28236.
