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.

9971bc9d95 Merge in the mca_base_select changes per RFC:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2008/04/3779.php

{{{
svn merge -r 18276:18380 https://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/tmp-public/jjh-mca-play .
}}}

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.

6166278e18 Improve the scalability of the modex operation and fix a bug reported by Tim P
The bug was a race condition in the barrier operation that caused the barrier in MPI_Finalize to fail on very short programs.

Scalaiblity was improved by using the daemons to aggregate modex and barrier messages before sending them to the rank=0 proc. Improvement is proportional to ppn, of course, but there really wasn't a scaling problem at low ppn anyway. This modification also paves the way for better allgather operations since now all the data for each node is sitting at the daemon level, and the daemons are now aware that a collective operation on the OOB is underway (so they -can- participate in a collective of their own to support it).

Also added better diagnostics to map out the timing associated with MPI_Init - turned on by -mca orte_timing 1.

5e6928d710 Cleanup recursions in ORTE caused by processing recv'd messages that can cause the system to take action resulting in receipt of another message.
Basically, the method employed here is to have a recv create a zero-time timer event that causes the event library to execute a function that processes the message once the recv returns. Thus, any action taken as a result of processing the message occur outside of a recv.

Created two new macros to assist:

ORTE_MESSAGE_EVENT: creates the zero-time event, passing info in a new orte_message_event_t object

ORTE_PROGRESSED_WAIT: while waiting for specified conditions, just calls progress so messages can be recv'd.

Also fixed the failed_launch function as we no longer block in the orted callback function. Updated the error messages to reflect revision. No change in API to this function, but PLM "owners" may want to check their internal error messages to avoid duplication and excessive output.

This has been tested on Mac, TM, and SLURM.

d70e2e8c2b Merge the ORTE devel branch into the main trunk. Details of what this means will be circulated separately.
Remains to be tested to ensure everything came over cleanly, so please continue to withhold commits a little longer
