Set the default send and receive socket buffer size to 0,
which means Open MPI will not try to set a buffer size during
startup.
The default behavior since near day one of the TCP BTL has been
to set the send and receive socket buffer sizes to 128 KiB. A
number that works great on 1 GbE, but not so great on 10 GbE
fabrics of any real size. Modern TCP stacks, particularly on
Linux, have gotten much smarter about buffer sizes and are much
less efficient if a buffer size is set (even if set to something
large).

The direct modex operation is slow, especially at scale for even modestly-connected applications. Likewise, blocking in MPI_Init while we wait for a full modex to complete takes too long. However, as George pointed out, there is a middle ground here. We could kickoff the modex operation in the background, and then trap any modex_recv's until the modex completes and the data is delivered. For most non-benchmark apps, this may prove to be the best of the available options as they are likely to perform other (non-communicating) setup operations after MPI_Init, and so there is a reasonable chance that the modex will actually be done before the first modex_recv gets called.
Once we get instant-on-enabled hardware, this won't be necessary. Clearly, zero time will always out-perform the time spent doing a modex. However, this provides a decent compromise in the interim.
This PR changes the default settings of a few relevant params to make "background modex" the default behavior:
* pmix_base_async_modex -> defaults to true
* pmix_base_collect_data -> continues to default to true (no change)
* async_mpi_init - defaults to true. Note that the prior code attempted to base the default setting of this value on the setting of pmix_base_async_modex. Unfortunately, the pmix value isn't set prior to setting async_mpi_init, and so that attempt failed to accomplish anything.
The logic in MPI_Init is:
* if async_modex AND collect_data are set, AND we have a non-blocking fence available, then we execute the background modex operation
* if async_modex is set, but collect_data is false, then we simply skip the modex entirely - no fence is performed
* if async_modex is not set, then we block until the fence completes (regardless of collecting data or not)
* if we do NOT have a non-blocking fence (e.g., we are not using PMIx), then we always perform the full blocking modex operation.
* if we do perform the background modex, and the user requested the barrier be performed at the end of MPI_Init, then we check to see if the modex has completed when we reach that point. If it has, then we execute the barrier. However, if the modex has NOT completed, then we block until the modex does complete and skip the extra barrier. So we never perform two barriers in that case.

The usNIC BTL does not use more than 1 iov, so be sure to set it to 1
so that we don't allocate cq/rq/sq entries based on a default (i.e.,
>1) number of iovs per entry.

This PR renames the common library for OFI libfabric from
libfabric to ofi. There are a number of reasons this
is good to do:
1) its shorter and replaces 9 characters with three for
function names for what may eventually be a fairly extensive interface
2) OFI is the term used for MTL and RML components that use
the OFI libfabric interface
3) A planned OSC component will also use the OFI term.
4) Other HPC libraries that can use OFI libfabric tend to use
the term "ofi" internally and also in their configure options
relevant to OFI libfabric (i.e. MPICH/CH4, Intel MPI, Sandia SHMEM)
There seem to be comments in places in the Open MPI source
code that indicate that this common library will be going away.
Far from it as we will want to be able to share things like
AV objects between OMPI and possibly OSHMEM components that
use the OFI libfabric interface.
This PR also adds a synonym to the --with-libfabric(-libdir)
configury options: --with-ofi and with-ofi-libdir.

* Complete rewrite of opal_pointer_array
Instead of a cache oblivious linear search use a bits array
to speed up the management of the free space. As a result we
slightly increase the memory used by the structure, but we get a

With this, libs (e.g., "-ldl") are not added to the wrapper LIBS

- catch and collect errors
- cleanup

This commit adds new timing feature that uses environment variables to
expose timing information. This allows easy access to this data (if
timing is enabled) from any other part of the application for the subsequent
postprocessing.
In particular this will be integrated with OMPI-level timing framework that
whill use MPI_Reduce functionality to provide more compact and easy-to use
information.
This commit also adds the example of usage of this framework by annotating
rte_init function. The result is not used anywhere for now. It will be
postprocessed in subsequent commits.
NOTE: that functionality is currently disabled untill it will be verified at runtime

This commit adds a "parsable" option to the help
arguments, which prints out a machine readable
list of all the mpirun options.
Fixes#3279
Signed-off-by: Nathaniel Graham <ngraham@lanl.gov>
This commit modifies the output from the mpirun --help
command. The options have been split into groups, to
make the output smaller and more readable. The groups
are: general, debug, output, input, mapping, ranking,
binding, devel, compatibility, launch, dvm, and
unsupported. There is also a special "full" command
that can be used to get the old behaviour of printing
out all of the options. Unsupported options may only
be seen with this full output.
This commit also adds a special case for the help
argument. It makes it possible for the user to
enter 0 or 1 arguments instead of having to always
enter an argument. This defaults to printing out
the "general" help options so the user can then
see what help arguments there are.
