The primary change that underlies all this is in the OOB. Specifically, the problem in the code until now has been that the OOB attempts to resolve an address when we call the "send" to an unknown recipient. The OOB would then wait forever if that recipient never actually started (and hence, never reported back its OOB contact info). In the case of an orted that failed to start, we would correctly detect that the orted hadn't started, but then we would attempt to order all orteds (including the one that failed to start) to die. This would cause the OOB to "hang" the system.
Unfortunately, revising how the OOB resolves addresses introduced a number of additional problems. Specifically, and most troublesome, was the fact that comm_spawn involved the immediate transmission of the rendezvous point from parent-to-child after the child was spawned. The current code used the OOB address resolution as a "barrier" - basically, the parent would attempt to send the info to the child, and then "hold" there until the child's contact info had arrived (meaning the child had started) and the send could be completed.
Note that this also caused comm_spawn to "hang" the entire system if the child never started... The app-failed-to-start helped improve that behavior - this code provides additional relief.
With this change, the OOB will return an ADDRESSEE_UNKNOWN error if you attempt to send to a recipient whose contact info isn't already in the OOB's hash tables. To resolve comm_spawn issues, we also now force the cross-sharing of connection info between parent and child jobs during spawn.
Finally, to aid in setting triggers to the right values, we introduce the "arith" API for the GPR. This function allows you to atomically change the value in a registry location (either divide, multiply, add, or subtract) by the provided operand. It is equivalent to first fetching the value using a "get", then modifying it, and then putting the result back into the registry via a "put".

* Remove the connect() timeout code, as it had some nasty race conditions
when connections were established as the trigger was firing. A better
solution has been found for the cluster where this was needed, so just
removing it was easiest.
* When a fatal error (too many connection failures) occurs, set an error
on messages in the queue even if there isn't an active message. The
first message to any peer will be queued without being active (and
so will all subsequent messages until the connection is established),
and the orteds will hang until that first message completes. So if
an orted can never contact it's peer, it will never exit and just sit
waiting for that message to complete.
* Cover an interesting RST condition in the connect code. A connection
can complete the three-way handshake, the connector can even send
some data, but the server side will drop the connection because it
can't move it from the half-connected to fully-connected state because
of space shortage in the listen backlog queue. This causes a RST to
be received first time that recv() is called, which will be when waiting
for the remote side of the OOB ack. In this case, transition the
connection back into a CLOSED state and try to connect again.
* Add levels of debugging, rather than all or nothing, each building on
the previous level. 0 (default) is hard errors. 1 is connection
error debugging info. 2 is all connection info. 3 is more state
info. 4 includes all message info.
* Add some hopefully useful comments

This merge adds Checkpoint/Restart support to Open MPI. The initial
frameworks and components support a LAM/MPI-like implementation.
This commit follows the risk assessment presented to the Open MPI core
development group on Feb. 22, 2007.
This commit closes trac:158
More details to follow.

Accordingly, there are new APIs to the name service to support the ability to get a job's parent, root, immediate children, and all its descendants. In addition, the terminate_job, terminate_orted, and signal_job APIs for the PLS have been modified to accept attributes that define the extent of their actions. For example, doing a "terminate_job" with an attribute of ORTE_NS_INCLUDE_DESCENDANTS will terminate the given jobid AND all jobs that descended from it.
I have tested this capability on a MacBook under rsh, Odin under SLURM, and LANL's Flash (bproc). It worked successfully on non-MPI jobs (both simple and including a spawn), and MPI jobs (again, both simple and with a spawn).
This commit was SVN r12597.
Each 's' partition has its own TCP network. It's fine to use this network for jobs that fit inside the partition, but the TCP OOB errors when trying to connect across two partitions, because there are two disjoint networks. Each node also has another TCP network connecting ALL nodes together.
So the solution is to actually try all the available TCP interfaces on a node, instead of erroring when the first one fails.
Also, the default TCP connect() timeout is way too long (5 minutes) - use our own timeout mechanism, with the timeout value expressed as an MCA parameter.

- make all headers C++ friendly
- no unamed structures
- no implicit cast.
Plus a full implementation for the orte_wait functions.

than $(LN_S). This causes problems with with Windows and probably
elsewhere (re: #200). So use a slightly different trick to get the
right header selected for the MEMCPY and TIMER components.
* Using the same trick used to solve the AC_CONFIG_LINKS problem,
stop using a separate header file for direct calling in the
PML and MTL. This lets me remove some icky code in ompi_mca.m4
that was more fragile than I really liked.

- moved hton64 and ntoh64 from the bunch of places it had been copied
into one header file
- properly set and use the btl_tcp's nbo option to put things in
network byte order on the wire if both sides don't have the same
endianness
- Put the OB1 PML's headers (with a couple exceptions I need to discuss
with Tim) in network byte order on the wire if both sides don't have
the same endianness
- since it was needed for the TCP BTL, move the orte_process_name_t
HTON and NTOH macros from the TCP OOB to ns_types.h

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)

However we do want to do a bit of cleanup on the node before we exit,
specificly clean out the session directory. I also had a couple of the
subsystems that don't depend upon peers (which is key) clean up as well.
