pkg{data,lib,includedir}, use our own ompi{data,lib,includedir}, which is
always set to {datadir,libdir,includedir}/openmpi. This will keep us from
having help files in prefix/share/open-rte when building without Open MPI,
but in prefix/share/openmpi when building with Open MPI.
This commit was SVN r30140.
Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.

* Add new configure command line options and deprecate some old ones:
* --with-verbs replaces --with-openib
* --with-verbs-libdir replaces --with-openib-libdir
* If you specify --with-openib[-libdir] without
--with-verbs[-libdir], you'll get a "these options have been
deprecated!" warning, but then they'll act just like
--with-verbs[--libdir].
'''Sidenote:''' Note that we are not renaming any components at this
time, nor are we renaming the top-level OMPI_CHECK_OPENIB m4 macro
(which is pretty strongly tied to the openib BTL and is bastaridzed
by the ofud BTL). Note that there will likely be more changes in
this area coming soon (next week?) when some long-standing changes
move to the SVN trunk: some openib BTL infrastructure will move to
ompi/mca/common, and its configury gets split up / refactored.
We extend our philosophy of other --with-<foo> configure options of
--with-verbs to ''all'' verbs-lovin components:
* If you specify --with-verbs, then all verbs-lovin' components must
configure successfully (or abort). This currently means: OOB ud,
BTL ofud, BTL openib.
* If you specify --with-verbs=DIR, then all verbs-lovin' component
must configure successfully (or abort), and will use DIR to find
verbs headers and libraries.
* If you specify --without-verbs, then all verbs-lovin' components
will be ignored.
This commit also fixes a problem where the --with-openib=DIR form
would not use DIR for ''all'' verbs-lovin' components (I think only
BTL openib and BTL ofud used that DIR). Now all of them do, as does
hwloc (because hwloc has some !OpenFabrics helper functions that
require ibv types from verbs.h).
There's a little new m4 infrastructure worth mentioning:
* If you create a new verbs-lovin' component (i.e., a component that
need verbs), your configure.m4 should
AC_REQUIRE([OPAL_CHECK_VERBS_DIR]).
* You can then use three global shell variables: $opal_want_verbs,
$opal_verbs_dir, $opal_verbs_libdir, which will be set as follows:
* opal_want_verbs will be "yes" and opal_verbs_dir and
opal_verbs_libdir will both be set to directory values, '''OR'''
* opal_want_verbs will be "no" and opal_verbs_dir and
opal_verbs_libdir will both be set empty

it succeeds and run $1 or $2, accordingly. This allows "make dist" to
run properly on machines that do not have OpenFabrics stuff installed
(e.g., the nightly tarball build machine).
There's still more to be done here -- it doesn't check for non-uniform
directories where the OpenFabrics headers/libraries might be
installed. We might need to re-tool/combine
ompi/config/ompi_check_openib.m4 (which checks for way more than
oob/ud needs) and move it up to config/ompi_check_ofa.m4, or
something...?
