Standardize the handling of the orte launch agent option across PLMs. This has been a consistent complaint I have received - each PLM would register its own MCA param to get input on the launch agent for remote nodes (in fact, one or two didn't, but most did). This would then get handled in various and contradictory ways.
Some PLMs would accept only a one-word input. Others accepted multi-word args such as "valgrind orted", but then some would error by putting any prefix specified on the cmd line in front of the incorrect argument.
For example, while using the rsh launcher, if you specified "valgrind orted" as your launch agent and had "--prefix foo" on you cmd line, you would attempt to execute "ssh foo/valgrind orted" - which obviously wouldn't work.
This was all -very- confusing to users, who had to know which PLM was being used so they could even set the right mca param in the first place! And since we don't warn about non-recognized or non-used mca params, half of the time they would wind up not doing what they thought they were telling us to do.
To solve this problem, we did the following:
1. removed all mca params from the individual plms for the launch agent
2. added a new mca param "orte_launch_agent" for this purpose. To further simplify for users, this comes with a new cmd line option "--launch-agent" that can take a multi-word string argument. The value of the param defaults to "orted".
3. added a PLM base function that processes the orte_launch_agent value and adds the contents to a provided argv array. This can subsequently be harvested at-will to handle multi-word values
4. modified the PLMs to use this new function. All the PLMs except for the rsh PLM required very minor change - just called the function and moved on. The rsh PLM required much larger changes as - because of the rsh/ssh cmd line limitations - we had to correctly prepend any provided prefix to the correct argv entry.
5. added a new opal_argv_join_range function that allows the caller to "join" argv entries between two specified indices
Please let me know of any problems. I tried to make this as clean as possible, but cannot compile all PLMs to ensure all is correct.

Add comments to both orterun and orted code explaining why we take a snapshot of the local environment and apply it to the local procs when they are spawned.
This commit was SVN r18842.
Actually, the problem was that we were simply -adding- any enviro MCA params to whatever had been found on the cmd line. Thus, duplicate MCA param directives were winding up duplicated in the environment. Some shells took the first one in the environ array - others took the last! So we could get completely different behavior based on the whims of the shell.
This commit fixes trac:1373
This commit was SVN r18836.
The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 1373 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1373
1. repair of the linear and direct routed modules
2. repair of the ompi/pubsub/orte module to correctly init routes to the ompi-server, and correctly handle failure to correctly parse the provided ompi-server URI
3. modification of orterun to accept both "file" and "FILE" for designating where the ompi-server URI is to be found - purely a convenience feature
4. resolution of a message ordering problem during the connect/accept handshake that allowed the "send-first" proc to attempt to send to the "recv-first" proc before the HNP had actually updated its routes.
Let this be a further reminder to all - message ordering is NOT guaranteed in the OOB
5. Repair the ompi/dpm/orte module to correctly init routes during connect/accept.
Reminder to all: messages sent to procs in another job family (i.e., started by a different mpirun) are ALWAYS routed through the respective HNPs. As per the comments in orte/routed, this is REQUIRED to maintain connect/accept (where only the root proc on each side is capable of init'ing the routes), allow communication between mpirun's using different routing modules, and to minimize connections on tools such as ompi-server. It is all taken care of "under the covers" by the OOB to ensure that a route back to the sender is maintained, even when the different mpirun's are using different routed modules.
6. corrections in the orte/odls to ensure proper identification of daemons participating in a dynamic launch
7. corrections in build/nidmap to support update of an existing nidmap during dynamic launch
8. corrected implementation of the update_arch function in the ESS, along with consolidation of a number of ESS operations into base functions for easier maintenance. The ability to support info from multiple jobs was added, although we don't currently do so - this will come later to support further fault recovery strategies
9. minor updates to several functions to remove unnecessary and/or no longer used variables and envar's, add some debugging output, etc.
10. addition of a new macro ORTE_PROC_IS_DAEMON that resolves to true if the provided proc is a daemon
There is still more cleanup to be done for efficiency, but this at least works.
Tested on single-node Mac, multi-node SLURM via odin. Tests included connect/accept, publish/lookup/unpublish, comm_spawn, comm_spawn_multiple, and singleton comm_spawn.

This commit repairs the debugger initialization procedure. I am not closing the ticket, however, pending Jeff's review of how it interfaces to the ompi_debugger code he implemented. There were duplicate symbols being created in that code, but not used anywhere. I replaced them with the ORTE-created symbols instead. However, since they aren't used anywhere, I have no way of checking to ensure I didn't break something.
So the ticket can be checked by Jeff when he returns from vacation... :-)

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.
This commit was SVN r18619.
Also detect orted failed-to-start by setting timeout on launch. Currently only used in TM launcher.
Neither detection is enabled by default, but are only active if heartrate is set and/or launch timeout is set. Exception for SLURM as orted failure is always detected and reported.
More info to come on devel list.

1. it depends upon the ability of the native environment to alert us that the orted has died/failed to start. I have included that support for SLURM, but other environments need to be done.
2. for some yet-to-be-determined reason, the message that tells the remaining daemons to "die" isn't getting out of the RML, even though no obvious blockage is standing in the way. Work will continue on resolving that problem. For now, the orteds appear to be exiting on their own quite nicely when they see their HNP "lifeline" disappear.
This represents the best-available fix for ticket #221 so I am closing that ticket at this time.

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.

Fix a potential problem with RM-provided nodenames not matching returns from gethostname - ensure that the HNP's nodename gets DNS-resolved when comparing against RM-provided hostnames. Note that this may be an issue for RM-based clusters that don't have local DNS resolution, but hopefully that is more indicative of a poorly configured system.

This commit was SVN r17921.
Fix race conditions in abnormal terminations. We had done a first-cut at this in a prior commit. However, the window remained partially open due to the fact that the HNP has multiple paths leading to orte_finalize. Most of our frameworks don't care if they are finalized more than once, but one of them does, which meant we segfaulted if orte_finalize got called more than once. Besides, we really shouldn't be doing that anyway.
So we now introduce a set of atomic locks that prevent us from multiply calling abort, attempting to call orte_finalize, etc. My initial tests indicate this is working cleanly, but since it is a race condition issue, more testing will have to be done before we know for sure that this problem has been licked.
Also, some updates relevant to the tool comm library snuck in here. Since those also touched the orted code (as did the prior changes), I didn't want to attempt to separate them out - besides, they are coming in soon anyway. More on them later as that functionality approaches completion.
This commit was SVN r17843.
The change also:
- cleans up and simplifies the command line processing code
- adds an error output if more than one hostfile passed for a single app context
- gets rid of the superfluous orte_app_context_map_t type, and instead use a simple argv of -host options
