3e72fccacf Cray's PMI implementation is quite different from slurm's - they extended PMI-1 by adding some, but not all, of the PMI-2 APIs. So you can't just switch to using PMI-2 functions as it isn't a complete implementation. Instead, you have to selectively figure out which ones they have in PMI-2, and use any missing ones from PMI-1. What fun.
Modify the configure logic and the PMI components to accommodate Cray's approach. Refactor the PMI error reporting code so it resides in only one place. Cray actually decided -not- to define the PMI-2 error codes, so we have to use the PMI-1 codes instead. More fun.

4e7ff0bd5e By popular demand the epoch code is now disabled by default.
To enable the epochs and the resilient orte code, use the configure flag:

--enable-resilient-orte

This will define both:

ORTE_ENABLE_EPOCH
ORTE_RESIL_ORTE

84be81df95 Standardize the initialization of the EPOCH's.
Everyone will be starting at MIN anyway (until we implement restart of course)
so there's no reason to set the epoch to INVALID and then immediately reset them
to MIN. This way there's less room to make mistakes later.

b98a2917ff Add an API to the errmgr so that apps can register for a callback to warn them of an impending migration - this gives apps a chance to cleanly terminate prior to being migrated for external reasons (e.g., impending failures). The timeout provided indicates to the daemon how long it should wait before proceeding to kill/migrate the process - if the process fails to exit before that time, the daemon will kill it.

8f45fcb429 More fixes for the C/R support. Fixes a couple bugs with the migration and autor features. The C/R functionality should be fully working now.
* Fix the checkpoint-restart-checkpoint case which would previous reject the checkpoint of the newly restarted process. By making sure to re-enable checkpointing once the application has fully restarted fixes this issue (make sure to set is_app_checkpointable to true on restart confirmation).
 * In the case of an invalid checkpoint, do not try to access the SStore datastore as it will be using a dummy handler, and return NULL strings. mpirun was segfaulting in the error case because it was trying to convert the seq_num from a string to an integer.
 * Make sure to initialize the timer event in the Automatic Recovery section of the HNP errmgr, per the libevent update. This caused a segfault when attempting to recover a failed process.
 * If ompi-checkpoint loses connection to the HNP/mpirun the TCP socket will fail and call the ErrMgr update_state function. This commit adds a dummy function {{{orte_errmgr_base_update_state()}}} that will prevent the ompi-checkpoint command from segfaulting in this error scenario.

5eb571c458 - As suggested in CMR #2558, attribute-macros should be
be tested on function pointers and assigned accordingly,
   instead of using the pre-processor in the header files.

   A functional change is (re-) specifying __opal_attribute_noreturn__
   on orte_errmgr_base_abort(): All modules in the errmgr framework
   either use this function, or define their own abort function,
   which sets __opal_attribute_noreturn__.
   This attributes was taken out with the errmgr overhaul in r22872.

fabd5cc153 Simplification of the ErrMgr framework by removing the 'stack'/composite functionality.
The composite functionality was becoming difficult to maintain, so we removed it for now which simplifies the framework design considerably.

Since the 'crmig' and 'autor' components were -very- similar to the 'hnp' component, this commit also merges them together. By moving the 'crmig' and 'autor' to a separate file under the 'hnp' component we are able to isolate the C/R logic to a large extent, thus being only minimally hooked into the previous 'hnp' component.

So other than some name changes, the functionality is all still in place. I will update the C/R documentation later this morning.

e12ca48cd9 A number of C/R enhancements per RFC below:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2010/07/8240.php

Documentation:
  http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/

Major Changes: 
-------------- 
 * Added C/R-enabled Debugging support. 
   Enabled with the --enable-crdebug flag. See the following website for more information: 
   http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/crdebug/ 
 * Added Stable Storage (SStore) framework for checkpoint storage 
   * 'central' component does a direct to central storage save 
   * 'stage' component stages checkpoints to central storage while the application continues execution. 
     * 'stage' supports offline compression of checkpoints before moving (sstore_stage_compress) 
     * 'stage' supports local caching of checkpoints to improve automatic recovery (sstore_stage_caching) 
 * Added Compression (compress) framework to support 
 * Add two new ErrMgr recovery policies 
   * {{{crmig}}} C/R Process Migration 
   * {{{autor}}} C/R Automatic Recovery 
 * Added the {{{ompi-migrate}}} command line tool to support the {{{crmig}}} ErrMgr component 
 * Added CR MPI Ext functions (enable them with {{{--enable-mpi-ext=cr}}} configure option) 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Checkpoint}}} (Fixes trac:2342) 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Restart}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Migrate}}} (may need some more work for mapping rules) 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_INC_register_callback}}} (Fixes trac:2192) 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_start}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_checkpoint}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_end}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_checkpoint_callback}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_restart_callback}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_continue_callback}}} 
 * The ErrMgr predicted_fault() interface has been changed to take an opal_list_t of ErrMgr defined types. This will allow us to better support a wider range of fault prediction services in the future. 
 * Add a progress meter to: 
   * FileM rsh (filem_rsh_process_meter) 
   * SnapC full (snapc_full_progress_meter) 
   * SStore stage (sstore_stage_progress_meter) 
 * Added 2 new command line options to ompi-restart 
   * --showme : Display the full command line that would have been exec'ed. 
   * --mpirun_opts : Command line options to pass directly to mpirun. (Fixes trac:2413) 
 * Deprecated some MCA params: 
   * crs_base_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_stage_local_snapshot_dir 
   * snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_dir 
   * snapc_base_global_shared deprecated, use sstore_stage_global_is_shared 
   * snapc_base_store_in_place deprecated, replaced with different components of SStore 
   * snapc_base_global_snapshot_ref deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_ref 
   * snapc_base_establish_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, never well supported 
   * snapc_full_skip_filem deprecated, use sstore_stage_skip_filem 

Minor Changes: 
-------------- 
 * Fixes trac:1924 : {{{ompi-restart}}} now recognizes path prefixed checkpoint handles and does the right thing. 
 * Fixes trac:2097 : {{{ompi-info}}} should now report all available CRS components 
 * Fixes trac:2161 : Manual checkpoint movement. A user can 'mv' a checkpoint directory from the original location to another and still restart from it. 
 * Fixes trac:2208 : Honor various TMPDIR varaibles instead of forcing {{{/tmp}}} 
 * Move {{{ompi_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to {{{orte_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to be more flexible in where this should be set. 
 * opal_crs_base_metadata_write* functions have been moved to SStore to support a wider range of metadata handling functionality. 
 * Cleanup the CRS framework and components to work with the SStore framework. 
 * Cleanup the SnapC framework and components to work with the SStore framework (cleans up these code paths considerably). 
 * Add 'quiesce' hook to CRCP for a future enhancement. 
 * We now require a BLCR version that supports {{{cr_request_file()}}} or {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}} in order to make the code more maintainable. Note that {{{cr_request_file}}} has been deprecated since 0.7.0, so we prefer to use {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}}. 
 * Add optional application level INC callbacks (registered through the CR MPI Ext interface). 
 * Increase the {{{opal_cr_thread_sleep_wait}}} parameter to 1000 microseconds to make the C/R thread less aggressive. 
 * {{{opal-restart}}} now looks for cache directories before falling back on stable storage when asked. 
 * {{{opal-restart}}} also support local decompression before restarting 
 * {{{orte-checkpoint}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata 
 * {{{orte-restart}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata 
 * Remove the {{{orte-restart}}} preload option. This was removed since the user only needs to select the 'stage' component in order to support this functionality. 
 * Since the '-am' parameter is saved in the metadata, {{{ompi-restart}}} no longer hard codes {{{-am ft-enable-cr}}}. 
 * Fix {{{hnp}}} ErrMgr so that if a previous component in the stack has 'fixed' the problem, then it should be skipped. 
 * Make sure to decrement the number of 'num_local_procs' in the orted when one goes away. 
 * odls now checks the SStore framework to see if it needs to load any checkpoint files before launching (to support 'stage'). This separates the SStore logic from the --preload-[binary|files] options. 
 * Add unique IDs to the named pipes established between the orted and the app in SnapC. This is to better support migration and automatic recovery activities. 
 * Improve the checks for 'already checkpointing' error path. 
 * A a recovery output timer, to show how long it takes to restart a job 
 * Do a better job of cleaning up the old session directory on restart. 
 * Add a local module to the autor and crmig ErrMgr components. These small modules prevent the 'orted' component from attempting a local recovery (Which does not work for MPI apps at the moment) 
 * Add a fix for bounding the checkpointable region between MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.

099c3aad97 Fix a major foopah that broke debugger attach. With the revisions in updating proc state, we dropped the recording of each proc's pid. Thus, attaching debuggers would find a proctable whose pids all equal 0.
This required modification of the errmgr.update_state API so the pid could be passed in to the function that could update the proper data record(s). All calls to that API have been updated as well, but I obviously couldn't test them all.

Thanks to Dong Ahn (LLNL) for catching this problem!

Also fixed debugger daemon cospawn, both for initial launch and attach-while-running modes. Tested and verified on rsh and slurm.

afbe3e99c6 * Wrap all the direct error-code checks of the form (OMPI_ERR_* == ret) with
(OMPI_ERR_* = OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE(ret)), since the return value could be a
 SOS-encoded error. The OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE() takes in a SOS error and returns
 back the native error code.

* Since OPAL_SUCCESS is preserved by SOS, also change all calls of the form
  (OPAL_ERROR == ret) to (OPAL_SUCCESS != ret). We thus avoid having to
  decode 'ret' to get the native error code.

he errmgr framework so that it can decide how to respond - which for now at least is just to check for lifeline and abort if so.

Add a new error constant to indicate that the error is "unrecoverable" so the oob can know it needs to abort.

55889934d8 After hours spent chasing the stupid "abort" file, it became clear that we were always going to be plagued by that idiot contraption when trying to be good citizens and properly cleanup. So get rid of it by instead doing a messaging handshake with the local daemon.
Note that this isn't a problem since MPI_Abort and orte_abort are only called under controlled circumstances - i.e., we are doing an orderly abort and not segfaulting. If we can't get the message out for some reason, then too bad - we'll still see an abnormal process termination and act accordingly.

b9893aacc5 Add a sensor framework to ORTE that monitors applications and notifies the errmgr when they exceed specified boundaries. Two modules are included here:
1. file activity - can monitor file size, access and modification times. If these fail to change over a specified number of sampling iterations (rate is an mca param), then the errmgr is notified.

2. memory usage - checks amount of memory used by a process. Limit and sampling rate can be set.

This support must be enabled by configuring --enable-sensors.

ompi_info and orte-info have been updated to include the new framework.

Also includes some initial steps toward restoring the recovery capability. Most notably, the ODLS API has been extended to include a "restart_proc" entry for restarting a local process, and organizes the various ERRMGR framework globals into a single struct as we do in the other ORTE frameworks. Fix an oversight in the ERRMGR framework where a pointer array was constructed, but not initialized.

Implementation continues.

efbb5c9b7c Revamp the errmgr framework to provide a greater range of optional behaviors, including different behaviors for daemons, and remove several looping messages across the code base:
* add hnp and orted modules to the errmgr framework. The HNP module contains much of the code that was in the errmgr base since that code could only be executed by the HNP anyway.

* update the odls to report process states directly into the active errmgr module, thus removing the need to send messages looped back into the odls cmd processor. Let the active errmgr module decide what to do at various states.

* remove the code to track application state progress from the plm_base_launch_support.c code. Update the plm modules to call the errmgr directly when a launch fails.

* update the plm_base_receive.c code to call the errmgr with state updates from remote daemons

* update the routed modules to reflect that process state is updated in the errmgr

* ensure that the orted's open the errmgr and select their appropriate module

* add new pretty-print utilities to print process and job state. Move the pretty-print of time info to a globally-accessible place

* define a global orte_comm function to send messages from orted's to the HNP so that others can overlay the standard RML methods, if desired.

* update the orterun help output to reflect that the "term w/o sync" error message can result from three, not two, scenarios

10a694ea43 The current errmgr.register_callback API takes a jobid as one of its argument. The intent was to have the errmgr check the jobid of the job being reported to it and, if it matches the jobid that was registered, call the specified callback function.
Unfortunately, we assign the jobid during the plm.spawn procedure - which means it happens -after- control of the job has passed out of the range of mpirun (or whatever program is spawning the job), so it is too late for that main program to register a callback function. If the main program registers tha callback -after- we return from plm.spawn, then it (a) cannot get a callback for failed-to-start, and (b) will miss the callback if a proc aborts in the time between job launch and the call to errmgr.register_callback.

This commit fixes the problem by adding callback-related fields to the orte_job_t object. Thus, the main program can specify what job states should initiate a callback, what function is to be called, and what data is to be passed back by simply filling in the orte_job_t fields prior to calling plm.spawn.

Also, fully implement the "copy" function for the orte_job_t object.

NOTE: as a result of this change, the errmgr.register_callback API may no longer be of any value.

   is required -- instead, most often opal_output.h, or               
   orte/mca/rml/rml_types.h                                           
   Please see orte_show_help_replacement.sh commited next.            

 - Local compilation (Linux/x86_64) w/ -Wimplicit-function-declaration
   actually showed two *missing* #include "orte/util/show_help.h"     
   in orte/mca/odls/base/odls_base_default_fns.c and                  
   in orte/tools/orte-top/orte-top.c                                  
   Manually added these.                                              

   Let's have MTT the last word.

9613b3176c Effectively revert the orte_output system and return to direct use of opal_output at all levels. Retain the orte_show_help subsystem to allow aggregation of show_help messages at the HNP.
After much work by Jeff and myself, and quite a lot of discussion, it has become clear that we simply cannot resolve the infinite loops caused by RML-involved subsystems calling orte_output. The original rationale for the change to orte_output has also been reduced by shifting the output of XML-formatted vs human readable messages to an alternative approach.

I have globally replaced the orte_output/ORTE_OUTPUT calls in the code base, as well as the corresponding .h file name. I have test compiled and run this on the various environments within my reach, so hopefully this will prove minimally disruptive.

e7ecd56bd2 This commit represents a bunch of work on a Mercurial side branch. As
such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly
long.

= ORTE Job-Level Output Messages =

Add two new interfaces that should be used for all new code throughout
the ORTE and OMPI layers (we already make the search-and-replace on
the existing ORTE / OMPI layers):

 * orte_output(): (and corresponding friends ORTE_OUTPUT,
   orte_output_verbose, etc.)  This function sends the output directly
   to the HNP for processing as part of a job-specific output
   channel.  It supports all the same outputs as opal_output()
   (syslog, file, stdout, stderr), but for stdout/stderr, the output
   is sent to the HNP for processing and output.  More on this below.
 * orte_show_help(): This function is a drop-in-replacement for
   opal_show_help(), with two differences in functionality:
   1. the rendered text help message output is sent to the HNP for
      display (rather than outputting directly into the process' stderr
      stream)
   1. the HNP detects duplicate help messages and does not display them
      (so that you don't see the same error message N times, once from
      each of your N MPI processes); instead, it counts "new" instances
      of the help message and displays a message every ~5 seconds when
      there are new ones ("I got X new copies of the help message...")

opal_show_help and opal_output still exist, but they only output in
the current process.  The intent for the new orte_* functions is that
they can apply job-level intelligence to the output.  As such, we
recommend that all new ORTE and OMPI code use the new orte_*
functions, not thei opal_* functions.

=== New code ===

For ORTE and OMPI programmers, here's what you need to do differently
in new code:

 * Do not include opal/util/show_help.h or opal/util/output.h.
   Instead, include orte/util/output.h (this one header file has
   declarations for both the orte_output() series of functions and
   orte_show_help()).
 * Effectively s/opal_output/orte_output/gi throughout your code.
   Note that orte_output_open() takes a slightly different argument
   list (as a way to pass data to the filtering stream -- see below),
   so you if explicitly call opal_output_open(), you'll need to
   slightly adapt to the new signature of orte_output_open().
 * Literally s/opal_show_help/orte_show_help/.  The function signature
   is identical.

=== Notes ===

 * orte_output'ing to stream 0 will do similar to what
   opal_output'ing did, so leaving a hard-coded "0" as the first
   argument is safe.
 * For systems that do not use ORTE's RML or the HNP, the effect of
   orte_output_* and orte_show_help will be identical to their opal
   counterparts (the additional information passed to
   orte_output_open() will be lost!).  Indeed, the orte_* functions
   simply become trivial wrappers to their opal_* counterparts.  Note
   that we have not tested this; the code is simple but it is quite
   possible that we mucked something up.

= Filter Framework =

Messages sent view the new orte_* functions described above and
messages output via the IOF on the HNP will now optionally be passed
through a new "filter" framework before being output to
stdout/stderr.  The "filter" OPAL MCA framework is intended to allow
preprocessing to messages before they are sent to their final
destinations.  The first component that was written in the filter
framework was to create an XML stream, segregating all the messages
into different XML tags, etc.  This will allow 3rd party tools to read
the stdout/stderr from the HNP and be able to know exactly what each
text message is (e.g., a help message, another OMPI infrastructure
message, stdout from the user process, stderr from the user process,
etc.).

Filtering is not active by default.  Filter components must be
specifically requested, such as:

{{{
$ mpirun --mca filter xml ...
}}}

There can only be one filter component active.

= New MCA Parameters =

The new functionality described above introduces two new MCA
parameters:

 * '''orte_base_help_aggregate''': Defaults to 1 (true), meaning that
   help messages will be aggregated, as described above.  If set to 0,
   all help messages will be displayed, even if they are duplicates
   (i.e., the original behavior).
 * '''orte_base_show_output_recursions''': An MCA parameter to help
   debug one of the known issues, described below.  It is likely that
   this MCA parameter will disappear before v1.3 final.

= Known Issues =

 * The XML filter component is not complete.  The current output from
   this component is preliminary and not real XML.  A bit more work
   needs to be done to configure.m4 search for an appropriate XML
   library/link it in/use it at run time.
 * There are possible recursion loops in the orte_output() and
   orte_show_help() functions -- e.g., if RML send calls orte_output()
   or orte_show_help().  We have some ideas how to fix these, but
   figured that it was ok to commit before feature freeze with known
   issues.  The code currently contains sub-optimal workarounds so
   that this will not be a problem, but it would be good to actually
   solve the problem rather than have hackish workarounds before v1.3 final.

Any components not in the trunk, but in one of the effected frameworks *must* be
updated. Contact the list, look at the RFC, or look at the diff for how to do this.

Sorry for the early commit of this, but I wanted to get it in today (per RFC) and
didn't know if I would have a chance later today.
