I did not want to make this change globally since there could be good reason to keep the check before calling SIGKILL that I am not seeing at the moment.
This commit was SVN r23821.
This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.
Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.

extravaganza.
= Short version =
This commit does several things, but the short version is that it
re-orients the error message creation of the ODLS default module to
generate error strings in the child process for errors that occur
after the fork but before the exec (such errors are ''usually''
related to paffinity). A show_help string is rendered in the child
and then IPC'ed up to the parent, who displays the string through
normal ORTE show_help aggregation mechanisms. We also broke up the
ginormous paffinity-setting logic into a few separate functions, both
to help us understand the code, and hopefully to ease future
maintenance.
The logic for the ODLS default binding should not have changed -- this
is mainly a code reshuffle and improvement on error reporting.
= Rationale =
The reasoning for this commit is complex. As mentioned above, it's
the first step in some paffinity cleanup. Here's the line of dominoes
that must fall (in this order):
1. Add hwloc paffinity component (already done).
1. While testing hwloc, we discovered that the error reporting from
the ODLS default module was abysmal. So we fixed it.
1. Further, we reorganized the code in the odsl_default_module.c a bit
to help our understanding of it.
1. We also discovered a few bugs in the original ODLS default module
logic that existed before this code shuffle; separate tickets
will be filed to fix them.
1. Next up will be some improvements to paffinity / odls default to
make the act of binding to a core ensure to bind to ''all''
hardware threads contained in that core (similar for sockets:
binding to a socket will bind to ''all'' hardware threads in that
socket).
1. Next will be improvements to paffinity to expose binding to
hardware threads through the paffinity framework API.
1. Finally, we'll expose these binding controls to the user (e.g.,
through mpirun command line arguments, MCA parameters, etc.).
This commit represents the first few bullets; the last 4 bullets are
being worked on right now, but there is no definite timeline for
completion.
= Miscelaneous =
A few points worth mentioning:
* We have tested this new code a bunch; we're pretty sure it behaves
just like the trunk -- but with better / more precise error
reporting. More testing is needed on a wider array of platforms,
however.
* A big comment at the top of odls_default_module.c explains the
(new) general scheme for the error reporting.
* The error reporting in the parent process is now really dumb;
almost all the intelligence about creating error messages is in the
child.
* The show_help file was renamed to be more consistent with other
help files (help-odls-default.txt -> help-orte-odls-default.txt)
* Removed the use of sched_yield() because of recent changes in the
Linux 2.6.3x kernels. We already had an #else clause for
select()'ing for 1us if we didn't have sched_yield() -- that is now
the only code path. This is not a performance-critical section of
the code, so this shouldn't be controversial.
* Replaced the macro-based error reporting with function-based
reporting. It's a bit more bulky, but it helped us understand the
code and saved us multiple times with compile-time parameter
checking, etc.
* Cleaned up the use of several show_help messages to ensure that
they mapped to real messages in help*.txt files.

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.

This commit was SVN r23581.
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.
This commit was SVN r23300.
* Remove OPAL_ERR_PAFFINITY_NOT_SUPPORTED; fit it into the generic
OPAL_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED case.
* When odls_default detects that processor affinity is not supported,
it prints a specific message about it, and then it suppressed a
generic HNP help message that would normally follow it (i.e., it's
easier to have the "processor affinity is not supported" show_help
message last).
* Use some symbolic names in odls_default instead of fixed int's,
just for slight readability improvements in the code.
* Introduce orte_show_help_suppress(), which gives the ability to
suppress any future showings of any arbitrary show_help() message.
This is useful if you display message X and want to suppress
message Y. This suppression *only* works in environments where
orte_show_help() does coalescing.
This commit was SVN r23249.
* If < 0, it's an OPAL_ERR_* value
* If >= 0, it's the actual output value of the function
This is problematic for the OPAL_SOS stuff. This commit changes those
functions to always return OPAL_* statuses and send the output value
back through output parameters (like 95% of the rest of the code
base). This avoids the confusion with OPAL_SOS stuff and makes
paffinity work again (e.g., mpirun --bind-to-core ...).
I updated all paffinitiy modules for the new function signatures, and
bumped the paffinity API version up to 2.0.1. I don't think the
version change will matter, though, because we'll be introducing
support for hardware threads soon, which will either bump the
paffinity version again or we'll replace paffinity with
a new framework.
This commit was SVN r23197.
(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.
This commit was SVN r23162.
Add new mca params to test:
orte_debugger_test_daemon: Name of the executable to be used to simulate a debugger colaunch
orte_debugger_test_attach: Test debugger colaunch after debugger attachment
To test co-launch at job start, just set the orte_debugger_test_daemon param.
To test co-launch upon attach:
set orte_debugger_test_daemon
set orte_debugger_test_attach=1
set orte_enable_debug_cospawn_while_running=1
set orte_debugger_check_rate=<N> - defines the number of seconds to wait before "checking" for a debugger attaching
Added a "debugger" program to orte/test/mpi that just spins to simulate a debugger daemon.
This commit was SVN r23144.
It is okay to not have a paffinity module IF you aren't using paffinity anyway. So don't error out of MPI_Init because a paffinity module wasn't selected.
Cleanup error reporting in the odls default module to (once and for all!) eliminate messages originating in the fork'd process. Create some new error codes to allow us to pass enough info back to the parent process to provide useful error messages.
This commit was SVN r23106.
1. orte_enable_recovery - default recovery policy, can be overridden on a per-job basis
2. orte_max_local_restarts - default max number of local restarts, can be overridden
3. orte_max_global_restarts - default max number of relocates, can be overridden
Implement the restart_proc API for the ODLS framework, reorganize the default fns a little to avoid copying code.
This commit was SVN r23057.
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.
This commit was SVN r23045.
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.
This commit was SVN r23043.
* 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

Dont use bash or bashism in shell scripts
We should use Posix' setpgid(0,0), which is equivalent to setpgrp().
This commit was SVN r22829.
Many of the OPAL_ENABLE_FT should be OPAL_ENABLE_FT_CR, so fix those.
The OPAL Layer INC should call opal_output on restart so that it can refresh the string it prints to reflect the current pid/hostname which may have changed.
This commit was SVN r22824.
Cleanup the kill_procs command by removing a no-longer-used param. We update the process state when the proc actually exits.
This commit was SVN r22783.
Modify the orte configure options to specify --enable-multicast such that it directs components to build or not instead of littering the code base with #if's. Remove those #if's where they used to occur.
Add a new grpcomm "mcast" module to support multicast operations. Still some work required to properly perform daemon collectives for comm_spawn operations. New module only builds when --enable-multicast is provided, and when specifically selected.
This commit was SVN r22709.
The change to just using SIGKILL was originally done due to problems whereby waitpid thought a proc had died, but it hadn't. We'll continue debugging that problem separately, but SIGTERM is required for C/R to work properly.
This commit was SVN r22674.
Have orte call setpgrp after forking (but before exec) when
orte_forward_job_control is set. Then have it send signals to the
child's process group. This allows suspending jobs that fork.
If a SIGTSTP arrives before the processes have been launched, then
record it and suspend them right after launching.
This commit was SVN r22557.
In CMake 2.6 and earlier, this function add dependencies for targets and also link the target libraries automatically, but in CMake 2.8,this behavior has been changed, i.e. it will only add the dependencies but no link, which will cause linking errors at compilation time.
This commit was SVN r22405.
Add orte configuration option to control the use of the framework in the system. Although the code will build, it will not be active unless configured with --enable-bootstrap.
If bootstrap is enabled and the new opal_sysinfo framework can successfully determine the cpu model, pass that info to the application as an MCA param to support some work at Sun.
Also, have daemons report back the resources they find to guide process mapping in bootstrap operations (i.e., where the daemon starts at node boot as opposed to being launched at application start).
Adjust some platform files to enable these capabilities.
This commit was SVN r22244.
The only sure way to kill the thing is with SIGKILL. After hours spent trying to debug this bizarre situation with a reliable reproducer, I finally tracked it down and fixed it.
Go figure...I sure can't.
This commit was SVN r22220.
Continue the reorganization of the configure system. Move files from the main config directory to their appropriate level-specific config directories. Modify the configure system to correctly handle compiler detection, test, and setup so that all things pertaining to opal and orte are done at the lower level, with the ompi configure system only looking at mpi-specific options.
Ensure the wrapper compilers for orte and ompi only get built when appropriate. Add support for c++ to the orte wrapper compilers, both script and non-script versions.
This commit was SVN r22138.
Wouldn't be so bad, except...the errmgr orders the termination of ALL procs, which kills any other job that should have been left alone.
Add a new proc and job state indicating "killed_by_cmd" so we can tell the difference between a proc/job that was deliberately terminated by us vs one that is killed by external signal.
This change was tested to ensure it didn't interfere with ctrl-c operation (it doesn't - we order termination of all jobs when we get a ctrl-c).
This commit was SVN r22100.
1. ensure that orte_rmaps_base_schedule_policy does not override cmd line settings
2. when you try to bind to more cores than we have, generate a not-enough-processors error message
3. allow npersocket -bind-to-core combination - because, yes, somebody actually wants to do it.
This commit was SVN r21996.
1. default -npersocket to force -bind-to-socket
2. if we cannot get a value for cores/socket, try using #logical cpus. otherwise, default to 1 core
3. add missing error message for not-enough-processors
4. since we no longer loop through orte_register_params twice, put the auto-detect of
topology info in the rte_init for hnp and std_orted
5. fix bind-to-core, bysocket combination
This commit was SVN r21992.
The new options work by adding an ":if-avail" qualifier to the "bind-to-socket" and "bind-to-core" MCA params. If the system does not support this capability, the job will launch anyway. Without the qualifier, the job will abort with an error message indicating that the required functionality is not supported on this system.
This commit was SVN r21975.
1. finalize the logic for properly respecting externally assigned bindings. Thanks to Chris Samuel for his help with this. Still needs some acid testing, but appears to now work.
2. remove the double-logic of requiring opal_paffinity_alone AND bind-to-foo. If the user specifies bind-to-foo, trust her and just do it.
This commit was SVN r21885.
I have no machine which allows me to do external binding, so I will have to ask others to test the new logic. However, I did verify that these changes don't break the existing logic when no external bindings were present.
This commit was SVN r21842.
Adds several new mpirun options:
* -bysocket - assign ranks on a node by socket. Effectively load balances the procs assigned to a node across the available sockets. Note that ranks can still be bound to a specific core within the socket, or to the entire socket - the mapping is independent of the binding.
* -bind-to-socket - bind each rank to all the cores on the socket to which they are assigned.
* -bind-to-core - currently the default behavior (maintained from prior default)
* -npersocket N - launch N procs for every socket on a node. Note that this implies we know how many sockets are on a node. Mpirun will determine its local values. These can be overridden by provided values, either via MCA param or in a hostfile
Similar features/options are provided at the board level for multi-board nodes.
Documentation to follow...
