Add new function opal_get_num_processors() that will return the number
of processors on the local host. Does the Right thing in POSIX
environments (to include a special case for OS X), and will shortly do
the Right Thing for Windows (this commit includes a change to
configure, so I wanted to get that in before the US workday -- the
Windows code can some shortly because it won't involve configury
changes).

1. if the user has specified sched_yield, we simply do what we are told
2. if they didn't specify anything, try to get the number of processors on this node. Note that we already now get the number of local procs in our job that are sharing this node - that now comes in through the proc callback and is stored in the ompi_proc_t structures.
3. if we can get the number of processors, compare that to the number of local procs from my job that are sharing my node. If the number of local procs exceeds the number of processors, then set sched_yield to true. If not, then be a hog and set sched_yield to false
4. if we can't get the number of processors, default to conservative behavior and set sched_yield to true.
Note that I have not yet dealt with the need to dynamically adjust this setting as more processes are added via comm_spawn. So far, we are *only* looking within our own job. Given that we have now moved this logic to mpi_init (and away from the orteds), it isn't yet clear to me how a process will be informed about the number of procs in *other* jobs that are also sharing this node.
Something to continue to ponder.

appropriate. Specifically, we're no longer relying on the
special/secret mpi_paffinity_processor MCA parameter that the orted
would set for us.
This allows processor affinity to be used in environments where the
orted is not used (e.g., bproc, and someday in the hopefully not
too-distant future, SLURM).

needlessly registered in multiple different places, and none of them
had a good help string. There was also an inconsistent check for
setting both mpi_leave_pinned and mpi_leave_pinned_pipeline (i.e., it
was only in ob1). This commit moves the registration of these params
to one central place (ompi/runtime/ompi_mpi_params.c, with all other
mpi_* MCA params) and uses globals to propagate the values as
relevant. The error check was also moved to the central location to
ensure that we can consistency everywhere.

the *_request to overwrite parts of the heavy requests if the req_mtl

- we have to be able to attach a string to an error class, not just to an
error code
- according to MPI-2 the attribute MPI_LASTUSEDCODE has to be updated
everytime you add a new code or a new class. Thus, you have to have single
list for both.
Thus, we got rid of the error_class structure. In the error-code structure, we
can distinguish whether we are dealing with an error code or an error class by
looking at the err->code element of the structure. In case its value is
MPI_UNDEFINED, the according entry is a class, else it is an error code. All
predefined error codes have the code and the class field set to the same
value.
The test MPI_Add_error_class1 passes now.

the same time, remove some of the MPI-related options from OPAL:
- provide mechanism to change at runtime whether sched_yield() should
be called when the progress engine is idle
- provide mechanism for changing the rate at which the event engine
is called when there are "no" users of the event engine (ie, when
using MPI but not TCP)
- fix some function names in the progress engine to better match
their intended use (and remove MPI naming scheme)
- remove progress_mpi_enable / progress_mpi_disable because
we can now use the functions to set the sched_yield and
tick rate interfaces
- rename opal_progress_events() to opal_progress_set_event_flag()

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.
1. Fix the "hang" condition when an application isn't found. It turned out that the ODLS had some difficulty with the process actually not having been started - hence, it never called the waitpid callback. As a result, the "terminated" trigger didn't fire, and so mpirun didn't wake up. With this change, the HNP's errmgr forces the issue by causing the trigger to fire itself when an abort condition occurs.
2. Shift the recording of the pid and the nodename from mpi_init to the orted launcher. This allows programs such as Eclipse PTP to get the pids even for non-MPI applications. In the case of bproc, the pls handles this chore since we don't use orteds in that system.
This commit was SVN r12558.
1. Added reporting points around the xcasts in MPI_Init. Note that these times will include time spent waiting for a trigger to fire, which is why the times between stage gates did NOT include these times initially. The inter-stage-gate times still do NOT include the xcast time - the xcast time is reported separately.
2. Added the process vpid on the MPI_Init timing reports for clarity.
3. Added a report from the xcast function on the HNP that outputs the number of bytes in the message being sent to the processes.

If you want to look at our launch and MPI process startup times, you can do so with two MCA params:
OMPI_MCA_orte_timing: set it to anything non-zero and you will get the launch time for different steps in the job launch procedure. The degree of detail depends on the launch environment. rsh will provide you with the average, min, and max launch time for the daemons. SLURM block launches the daemon, so you only get the time to launch the daemons and the total time to launch the job. Ditto for bproc. TM looks more like rsh. Only those four environments are currently supported - anyone interested in extending this capability to other environs is welcome to do so. In all cases, you also get the time to setup the job for launch.
OMPI_MCA_ompi_timing: set it to anything non-zero and you will get the time for mpi_init to reach the compound registry command, the time to execute that command, the time to go from our stage1 barrier to the stage2 barrier, and the time to go from the stage2 barrier to the end of mpi_init. This will be output for each process, so you'll have to compile any statistics on your own. Note: if someone develops a nice parser to do so, it would be really appreciated if you could/would share!
This commit was SVN r12302.
I have added a new MCA param (hey, you can't have too many!) called OMPI_MCA_orte_timing. If set to anything other than zero, the system will report out critical timing loops. At the moment, this includes three measurements:
1. Time spent going through the RDS->RAS->RMAPS, setting up triggers, etc. prior to calling the actual PLS launch function. This is reported out as time to setup job.
2. Time spent in MPI_Init from start of that function (well, right after opal_init) to the place where we send all of our info the registry. Reported out as time from start to exec_compound_cmd
3. Time actually spent executing the compound cmd. Reported out as time to exec_compound_cmd.
A few additional timing points will be added shortly.
These may eventually be removed or (better) setup with a conditional compile flag.

should die, according to the MPI standard. It's possible that the
ORTE layer may kill additional processes, but that's beyond our
control and seems to be allowed by the standard (ie, it might also
end up killing all the procs in all the jobs covered by the
communicator).
* update the stack trace printing code to use the framework rather
than calling execinfo directly, so that we should be able to get

Other changes:
1. Remove the old xcpu components as they are not functional.
2. Fix a "bug" in orterun whereby we called dump_aborted_procs even when we normally terminated. There is still some kind of bug in this procedure, however, as we appear to be calling the orterun job_state_callback function every time a process terminates (instead of only once when they have all terminated). I'll continue digging into that one.
This will require an autogen/configure, I'm afraid.

did pre-libevent update. The problem is that the behavior of
OPAL_EVLOOP_ONCE was changed by the OMPI team, which them broke things
during the update, so it had to be reverted to the old meaning of
loop until one event occurs. OPAL_EVLOOP_ONELOOP will go through the
event loop once (like EVLOOP_NONBLOCK) but will pause in the event
library for a bit (like EVLOOP_ONCE).

Warning: this log message is not for the weak. Read at your own
risk.
The problem was that we had several variables in Fortran common blocks
of various types, but their C counterparts were all of a type
equivalent to a fortran double complex. This didn't seem to matter
for the compilers that we tested, but we never tested static builds
(which is where this problem seems to occur, at least with the Intel
compiler: the linker compilains that the variable in the common block
in the user's .o file was of one size/alignment but the one in the C
library was a different size/alignment).
So this patch fixes the sizes/types of the Fortran common block
variables and their corresponding C instantiations to be of the same
sizes/types.
But wait, there's more.
We recently introduced a fix for the OSX linker where some C versions
of the fortran common block variables (e.g.,
_ompi_fortran_status_ignore) were not being found when linking
ompi_info (!). Further research shows that the code path for
ompi_info to require ompi_fortran_status_ignore is, unfortunately,
necessary (a quirk of how various components pull in different
portions of the code base -- nothing in ompi_info itself requires
fortran or MPI knowledge, of course).
Hence, the real problem was that there was no code path from ompi_info
to the portion of the code base where the C globals corresponding to
the Fortran common block variables were instantiated. This is because
the OSX linker does not automatically pull in .o files that only
contain unintialized global variables; the OSX linker typically only
pulls in a .o file from a library if it either has a function that is
used or have a global variable that is initialized (that's the short
version; lots of details and corner cases omitted). Hence, we changed
the global C variables corresponding to the fortran common blocks to
be initialized, thereby causing the OSX linker to pull them in
automatically -- problem solved. At the same time, we moved the
constants to another .c file with a function, just for good measure.
However, this didn't really solve the problem:
1. The function in the file with the C versions of the fortran common
block variables (ompi/mpi/f77/test_constants_f.c) did not have a
code path that was reachable from ompi_info, so the only reason
that the constants were found (on OSX) was because they were
initialized in the global scope (i.e., causing the OSX compiler to
pull in that .o file).
2. Initializing these variable in the global scope causes problems for
some linkers where -- once all the size/type problems mentioned
above were fixed -- the alignments of fortran common blocks and C
global variables do not match (even though the types of the Fortran
and C variables match -- wow!). Hence, initializing the C
variables would not necessarily match the alignment of what Fortran
expected, and the linker would issue a warning (i.e., the alignment
warnings referenced in the original post).
The solution is two-fold:
1. Move the Fortran variables from test_constants_f.c to
ompi/mpi/runtime/ompi_mpi_init.c where there are other global
constants that *are* initialized (that had nothing to do with
fortran, so the alignment issues described above are not a factor),
and therefore all linkers (including the OSX linker) will pull in
this .o file and find all the symbols that it needs.
2. Do not initialize the C variables corresponding to the Fortran
common blocks in the global scope. Indeed, never initialize them
at all (because we never need their *values* - we only check for
their *locations*). Since nothing is ever written to these
variables (particularly in the global scope), the linker does not
see any alignment differences during initialization, but does make
both the C and Fortran variables have the same addresses (this
method has been working in LAM/MPI for over a decade).
There were some comments here in the OMPI code base and in the LAM
code base that stated/implied that C variables corresponding to
Fortran common blocks had to have the same alignment as the Fortran
common blocks (i.e., 16). There were attempts in both code bases to
ensure that this was true. However, the attempts were wrong (in both
code bases), and I have now read enough Fortran compiler documentation
to convince myself that matching alignments is not required (indeed,
it's beyond our control). As long as C variables corresponding to
Fortran common blocks are not initialized in the global scope, the
linker will "figure it out" and adjust the alignment to whatever is
required (i.e., the greater of the alignments). Specifically (to
counter comments that no longer exist in the OMPI code base but still
exist in the LAM code base):
- there is no need to make attempts to specially align C variables
corresponding to Fortran common blocks
- the types and sizes of C variables corresponding to Fortran common
blocks should match, but do not need to be on any particular
alignment
Finally, as a side effect of this effort, I found a bunch of
inconsistencies with the intent of status/array_of_statuses
parameters. For all the functions that I modified they should be
"out" (not inout).

(which is currently the default, although we may argue over this later
:-) ), a new field in the ompi_proc_t named proc_hostname will have
the string hostname of that peer. If 0, this field will be NULL.
This allows for printing nicer error messages in environments where
peer hostnames are not otherwise easily obtainable, such as the mvapi
BTL (requested by Sandia, who has both a *huge* number of nodes and
6GB of RAM per node, so they don't care about the extra memory usage
;-) ).

- My original patch stands: MPI_FINALIZE directly invokes the
attribute callbacks on MPI_COMM_SELF
- We added some user-level checks to ensure that they don't call
MPI_FINALIZE twice (this isn't really required, but it will prevent
whacky segv's -- they'll at least get a nice error message)
- Removed the attribute callbacks on MPI_COMM_SELF from
ompi_mpi_comm_finalize (i.e., we just moved them from
ompi_mpi_comm_finalize to ompi_mpi_finalize -- we just moved this
process up earlier in the MPI_FINALIZE sequence of events)
- Because there were so many conversations about this, here's the
rationale:
- MPI-2:4.8 says that we have to MPI_COMM_FREE MPI_COMM_SELF so that
the attribute callbacks are invoked.
- After considerable discussion, we came to the conclusion that
FREE'ing COMM_SELF is not the issue -- calling the callbacks is
the issue.
- So it is sufficent for MPI_FINALIZE to directly invoke these
attribute callbacks
- The attribute callbacks are *not* invoked on other communicators
because said communicators are not MPI_COMM_FREE'ed

complete, but stable enough that it will have no impact on general development,
so into the trunk it goes. Changes in this commit include:
- Remove the --with option for disabling MPI-2 onesided support. It
complicated code, and has no real reason for existing
- add a framework osc (OneSided Communication) for encapsulating
all the MPI-2 onesided functionality
- Modify the MPI interface functions for the MPI-2 onesided chapter
to properly call the underlying framework and do the required
error checking
- Created an osc component pt2pt, which is layered over the BML/BTL
for communication (although it also uses the PML for long message
transfers). Currently, all support functions, all communication
functions (Put, Get, Accumulate), and the Fence synchronization
function are implemented. The PWSC active synchronization
functions and Lock/Unlock passive synchronization functions are
still not implemented

Note that these will only work for the Fortran compiler that Open MPI
was configured with -- since these values, are, by definition,
single-value, they cannot support all 4 values that Open MPI may
generate for the different Fortran name-mangling schemes. A lengthy
comment in ompi_mpi_init.c explains this in more detail. Added to the
README to explain this situation, as well as the forthcoming
.TRUE. Fortran fixes.
