supports a wide variety of operating systems and platforms; see the
opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc/README file for details.
This component includes an embedded copy of hwloc, currently based on
hwloc-1.0rc6. But note that hwloc is properly SVN imported into the
/vendor branch, so it will be easy to update when 1.0 GA is released.
Note that the hwloc tree embedded in opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc is
identical to a hwloc distribution tarball, except that much of the
documentation was rm -rf'ed (because we don't need it for the embedded
case).
Since the paffinity framework currently does not understand hardware
threads, the hwloc component compensates for this by identifying cores
by the "first" hardware thread on that core. Hopefully we'll update
paffinity someday to understand hardware threads. :-)
configure grew a --with-hwloc option, analogous to what we do for many
other external libraries that OMPI supports. However, there's a new
feature: due to the request of several distros, OMPI can be configured
to build with its internal copy of hwloc or with an external copy of
hwloc (e.g., a system-installed hwloc).
1. If --with-hwloc is not specified, Open MPI will try to use its
internal copy (but silently fail/ignore hwloc if that fails).
1. If --with-hwloc=<dir> is supplied, Open MPI looks for hwloc
support in <dir> (and --with-hwloc-libdir=<dir>, if specified).
1. If --with-hwloc=external is supplied, Open MPI will look for hwloc
in a compiler/linker default external location.
1. If --with-hwloc=internal is supplied, Open MPI will use its
internal copy of hwloc.
Some of OMPI's main configury had to be slightly re-arranged in the
bootstrapping phase to accomodate hwloc's configry needs.

* Remove the ptmalloc memory component; replace it with a new "linux"
memory component.
* The linux memory component will conditionally compile in support
for ummunotify. At run-time, if it has ummunotify support and
finds run-time support for ummunotify (i.e., /dev/ummunotify), it
uses it. If not, it tries to use ptmalloc via the glibc memory
hooks.
* Add some more API functions to the memory framework to accomodate
the ummunotify model (i.e., poll to see if memory has "changed").
* Add appropriate calls in the rcache to the new memory APIs to see
if memory has changed, and to react accordingly.
* Add a few comments in the openib BTL to indicate why we don't need
to notify the OPAL memory framework about specific instances of
registered memory.
* Add dummy API calls in the solaris malloc component (since it
doesn't have polling/"did memory change" support).

It is okay to not have a paffinity module IF you aren't using paffinity anyway. So don't error out of MPI_Init because a paffinity module wasn't selected.
Cleanup error reporting in the odls default module to (once and for all!) eliminate messages originating in the fork'd process. Create some new error codes to allow us to pass enough info back to the parent process to provide useful error messages.

done this way a long time ago for the "gee whiz!" factor -- when in
reality, they really only need one-of-many-run-time priority
selection).
Changed run-time priorities to be as follows:
* darwin: 20
* linux: 20
* posix: 10
* solaris: 30
* test: 5
* windows: 20
I have a very dim (possibly untrue) recollection that Solaris needs to
have a higher priority than others just to ensure that no other is
chosen under Solaris. Make all other "native" components have a
priority of 20 (they shouldn't conflict with each other). Make the
posix fallback component have a priority of 10. Make the test
component priority 5, meaning someone can always select it, but you
can also make a "never select me" component that prioritizes itself
under test.

modify the OPAL_PAFFINITY_PROCESS_IS_BOUND macro to search the cpuset for
the maximum possible number of cpus rather than just the number of cpus
currently online. This corrects a problem where mpi_paffinity_alone was
not working properly on systems in which there can be cpu namespaces with
holes, such as on ppc64 with smt off (as discussed in #2365).

1. fix a bug that caused an infinite loop in configure when specifying want-ft but not want-ft-thread by removing a stale reference to the opal-progress-thread option
2. add want-ft=orcm so we can build the orcm errmgr component
3. cleanup the use of "ompi_want_ft_xxx" and replace it with "opal_want_ft_xxx" so that naming conventions are preserved

The short version is that this patch consolidates two pieces of code
that call the back-end munmap and ensures that (if dlsym is used) the
corresponding dlsym is only invoked once and that the variable holding
the result is volatile.

Remove the --enable-progress-threads option as this is no longer functional, and hardcode OPAL_ENABLE_PROGRESS_THREADS to 0.
Replace the --enable-mpi-threads option with --enable-mpi-thread-multiple as this is clearer as to meaning. This option automatically turns "on" opal thread support if it wasn't already so specified. If the user specifies --disable-opal-multi-threads --enable-mpi-thread-multiple, we will error out with a message
Add a new --enable-opal-multi-threads option that turns "on" opal thread support without doing anything wrt mpi-thread-multiple

Many of the OPAL_ENABLE_FT should be OPAL_ENABLE_FT_CR, so fix those.
The OPAL Layer INC should call opal_output on restart so that it can refresh the string it prints to reflect the current pid/hostname which may have changed.
