4d92c9989e more c99 updates
This commit does two things. It removes checks for C99 required
headers (stdlib.h, string.h, signal.h, etc). Additionally it removes
definitions for required C99 types (intptr_t, int64_t, int32_t, etc).

b5382c9bf9 Rework the OOB selection logic to allow a component (e.g., usock) to direct that it be the sole active component. Remove prior disqualifying code in the oob/tcp component as it was too restrictive - if usock wasn't able to run, it left apps with no way to communicate to their daemon. Have the local daemon check the global modex for the RML URI info of the local procs so it can route messages between them when tcp is the primary channel.
A few other minor cleanups included.

f48b9012cb Some minor cleanup. We really don't need another peer error constant to indicate that a peer closed as we already have one for "connection failed", and that's all we really know. Update the orte constants to track their opal equivalents. 2014-11-25 08:02:29 -08:00

3fdcaeab97 Fix a problem where we need to abort due to a mapping failure, but we are in a managed environment and thus the orteds have not wired up. Thus, if we send the exit message across the routed network, the remote daemons won't have a way to relay the message along - and we won't exit.
If we are aborting, then set the flags so the HNP directly sends an exit command to each daemon. Make it the halt_vm command so the remote daemon doesn't try to relay it, but instead just exits without waiting for its routed children to exit first.

a200e4f865 As per the RFC, bring in the ORTE async progress code and the rewrite of OOB:
*** THIS RFC INCLUDES A MINOR CHANGE TO THE MPI-RTE INTERFACE ***

Note: during the course of this work, it was necessary to completely separate the MPI and RTE progress engines. There were multiple places in the MPI layer where ORTE_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION was being used. A new OMPI_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION macro was created (defined in ompi/mca/rte/rte.h) that simply cycles across opal_progress until the provided flag becomes false. Places where the MPI layer blocked waiting for RTE to complete an event have been modified to use this macro.

***************************************************************************************

I am reissuing this RFC because of the time that has passed since its original release. Since its initial release and review, I have debugged it further to ensure it fully supports tests like loop_spawn. It therefore seems ready for merge back to the trunk. Given its prior review, I have set the timeout for one week.

The code is in  https://bitbucket.org/rhc/ompi-oob2


WHAT:    Rewrite of ORTE OOB

WHY:       Support asynchronous progress and a host of other features

WHEN:    Wed, August 21

SYNOPSIS:
The current OOB has served us well, but a number of limitations have been identified over the years. Specifically:

* it is only progressed when called via opal_progress, which can lead to hangs or recursive calls into libevent (which is not supported by that code)

* we've had issues when multiple NICs are available as the code doesn't "shift" messages between transports - thus, all nodes had to be available via the same TCP interface.

* the OOB "unloads" incoming opal_buffer_t objects during the transmission, thus preventing use of OBJ_RETAIN in the code when repeatedly sending the same message to multiple recipients

* there is no failover mechanism across NICs - if the selected NIC (or its attached switch) fails, we are forced to abort

* only one transport (i.e., component) can be "active"


The revised OOB resolves these problems:

* async progress is used for all application processes, with the progress thread blocking in the event library

* each available TCP NIC is supported by its own TCP module. The ability to asynchronously progress each module independently is provided, but not enabled by default (a runtime MCA parameter turns it "on")

* multi-address TCP NICs (e.g., a NIC with both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, or with virtual interfaces) are supported - reachability is determined by comparing the contact info for a peer against all addresses within the range covered by the address/mask pairs for the NIC.

* a message that arrives on one TCP NIC is automatically shifted to whatever NIC that is connected to the next "hop" if that peer cannot be reached by the incoming NIC. If no TCP module will reach the peer, then the OOB attempts to send the message via all other available components - if none can reach the peer, then an "error" is reported back to the RML, which then calls the errmgr for instructions.

* opal_buffer_t now conforms to standard object rules re OBJ_RETAIN as we no longer "unload" the incoming object

* NIC failure is reported to the TCP component, which then tries to resend the message across any other available TCP NIC. If that doesn't work, then the message is given back to the OOB base to try using other components. If all that fails, then the error is reported to the RML, which reports to the errmgr for instructions

* obviously from the above, multiple OOB components (e.g., TCP and UD) can be active in parallel

* the matching code has been moved to the RML (and out of the OOB/TCP component) so it is independent of transport

* routing is done by the individual OOB modules (as opposed to the RML). Thus, both routed and non-routed transports can simultaneously be active

* all blocking send/recv APIs have been removed. Everything operates asynchronously.


KNOWN LIMITATIONS:

* although provision is made for component failover as described above, the code for doing so has not been fully implemented yet. At the moment, if all connections for a given peer fail, the errmgr is notified of a "lost connection", which by default results in termination of the job if it was a lifeline

* the IPv6 code is present and compiles, but is not complete. Since the current IPv6 support in the OOB doesn't work anyway, I don't consider this a blocker

* routing is performed at the individual module level, yet the active routed component is selected on a global basis. We probably should update that to reflect that different transports may need/choose to route in different ways

* obviously, not every error path has been tested nor necessarily covered

* determining abnormal termination is more challenging than in the old code as we now potentially have multiple ways of connecting to a process. Ideally, we would declare "connection failed" when *all* transports can no longer reach the process, but that requires some additional (possibly complex) code. For now, the code replicates the old behavior only somewhat modified - i.e., if a module sees its connection fail, it checks to see if it is a lifeline. If so, it notifies the errmgr that the lifeline is lost - otherwise, it notifies the errmgr that a non-lifeline connection was lost.

* reachability is determined solely on the basis of a shared subnet address/mask - more sophisticated algorithms (e.g., the one used in the tcp btl) are required to handle routing via gateways

* the RML needs to assign sequence numbers to each message on a per-peer basis. The receiving RML will then deliver messages in order, thus preventing out-of-order messaging in the case where messages travel across different transports or a message needs to be redirected/resent due to failure of a NIC

bd9265c560 Per the meeting on moving the BTLs to OPAL, move the ORTE database "db" framework to OPAL so the relocated BTLs can access it. Because the data is indexed by process, this requires that we define a new "opal_identifier_t" that corresponds to the orte_process_name_t struct. In order to support multiple run-times, this is defined in opal/mca/db/db_types.h as a uint64_t without identifying the meaning of any part of that data.
A few changes were required to support this move:

1. the PMI component used to identify rte-related data (e.g., host name, bind level) and package them as a unit to reduce the number of PMI keys. This code was moved up to the ORTE layer as the OPAL layer has no understanding of these concepts. In addition, the component locally stored data based on process jobid/vpid - this could no longer be supported (see below for the solution).

2. the hash component was updated to use the new opal_identifier_t instead of orte_process_name_t as its index for storing data in the hash tables. Previously, we did a hash on the vpid and stored the data in a 32-bit hash table. In the revised system, we don't see a separate "vpid" field - we only have a 64-bit opaque value. The orte_process_name_t hash turned out to do nothing useful, so we now store the data in a 64-bit hash table. Preliminary tests didn't show any identifiable change in behavior or performance, but we'll have to see if a move back to the 32-bit table is required at some later time.

3. the db framework was a "select one" system. However, since the PMI component could no longer use its internal storage system, the framework has now been changed to a "select many" mode of operation. This allows the hash component to handle all internal storage, while the PMI component only handles pushing/pulling things from the PMI system. This was something we had planned for some time - when fetching data, we first check internal storage to see if we already have it, and then automatically go to the global system to look for it if we don't. Accordingly, the framework was provided with a custom query function used during "select" that lets you seperately specify the "store" and "fetch" ordering.

4. the ORTE grpcomm and ess/pmi components, and the nidmap code,  were updated to work with the new db framework and to specify internal/global storage options.

No changes were made to the MPI layer, except for modifying the ORTE component of the OMPI/rte framework to support the new db framework.

98580c117b Introduce staged execution. If you don't have adequate resources to run everything without oversubscribing, don't want to oversubscribe, and aren't using MPI, then staged execution lets you (a) run as many procs as there are available resources, and (b) start additional procs as others complete and free up resources. Adds a new mapper as well as a new state machine.
Remove some stale configure.m4's we no longer need.

Optimize the nidmaps a bit by only sending info that has changed each time, instead of sending a complete copy of everything. Makes no difference for the typical MPI job - only impacts things like staged execution where we are sending multiple (possibly many) launch messages.

431d5361ed For those who really preferred our prior mode of operation that mapped procs and only launched daemons on the nodes that had procs on them, introduce the "novm" state machine component. This recreates the old mode of operation by re-ordering the launch sequence so that we allocate, then map, and then launch daemons only on the reqd nodes (instead of across the entire allocation).

07655e2945 Handle the case where the allocator "fibs" to us about the node names. In some cases (ahem...you know who you are!), the allocator will tell us a node number (e.g., "16"). However, the daemon will return a node name (e.g., "nid0016") - leaving us not recognizing its location.
So provide a new parameter (can't have too many!) that handles this situation by stripping the prefix from the returned node name. Also do a little cleanup to ensure we cleanly exit from errors, without generating too many annoying messages.

9b59d8de6f This is actually a much smaller commit than it appears at first glance - it just touches a lot of files. The --without-rte-support configuration option has never really been implemented completely. The option caused various objects not to be defined and conditionally compiled some base functions, but did nothing to prevent build of the component libraries. Unfortunately, since many of those components use objects covered by the option, it caused builds to break if those components were allowed to build.
Brian dealt with this in the past by creating platform files and using "no-build" to block the components. This was clunky, but acceptable when only one organization was using that option. However, that number has now expanded to at least two more locations.

Accordingly, make --without-rte-support actually work by adding appropriate configury to prevent components from building when they shouldn't. While doing so, remove two frameworks (db and rmcast) that are no longer used as ORCM comes to a close (besides, they belonged in ORCM now anyway). Do some minor cleanups along the way.

3a28556472 Expand our handling of non-zero exit status. If a process exits with non-zero status, pass that info along to the user in case it means something to them, even if the process also exited without calling MPI_Finalize. If the process calls MPI_Abort, that trumps the exit status question.
Provide a new MCA param that allows the user to direct that we abort the job once a process exits with non-zero status. No recovery is allowed in such cases to avoid trying to restart a process that has already exited MPI.

5120e6aec3 Redefine the rmaps framework to allow multiple mapper modules to be active at the same time. This allows users to map the primary job one way, and map any comm_spawn'd job in a different way. Modules are given the opportunity to map a job in priority order, with the round-robin mapper having the highest default priority. Priority of each module can be defined using mca param.
When called, each mapper checks to see if it can map the job. If npernode is provided, for example, then the loadbalance mapper accepts the assignment and performs the operation - all mappers before it will "pass" as they can't map npernode requests.

Also remove the stale and never completed topo mapper.

93d28a5792 Change opal_err2str_fn_t to return the error string as an argument.
This means that the converters (opal_err2str, orte_err2str) can now
return NULL as a "silent error". The return value of opal_err2str_fn_t
is the status of the operation (OPAL_SUCCESS or OPAL_ERROR).

This fixes the "Unknown error" message issues on the trunk.

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.

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

bd65f8ba88 Bring in an updated launch system for the orteds. This commit restores the ability to execute singletons and singleton comm_spawn, both in single node and multi-node environments.
Short description: major changes include -

1. singletons now fork/exec a local daemon to manage their operations.

2. the orte daemon code now resides in libopen-rte

3. daemons no longer use the orte triggering system during startup. Instead, they directly call back to their parent pls component to report ready to operate. A base function to count the callbacks has been provided.

I have modified all the pls components except xcpu and poe (don't understand either well enough to do it). Full functionality has been verified for rsh, SLURM, and TM systems. Compile has been verified for xgrid and gridengine.

75d51812a3 Fix the app-failed-to-start capability that was broken by r14554 (holding the caller in rmgr.spawn until the application - as opposed to just the orteds - have started). Allow the rmgr.spawn function to return if the app terminates, correctly handling its return status code to show abnormal termination. Modify orterun to correctly handle the returned status code so it doesn't enter a conditioned wait if the app fails to start since it will never wakeup if it does.

8314e8dbb9 Modify the pernode option so it can accept a request for the number of processes to be launched. We now check three use-cases for pernode:
1. no -np provided - put one proc/node across all allocated nodes

2. -np N provided, N > #nodes - we print a pretty error message and exit

3. -np N provided, N <= #nodes - put one proc/node across N nodes

I also added a new orte constant (ORTE_ERR_SILENT) that allows us to pass up the chain that an error was encountered, but NOT print ORTE_ERROR_LOG messages. This is intended to be used for cases where the error we encounter is NOT an orte error, but rather is one associated with incorrect user input (e.g., the preceding case 2). In such cases, there is no point in printing an ORTE_ERROR_LOG chain of messages as it isn't an orte error.

febc143d8c Per LANL's stated need, add functionality that runs a.out across ALL available process slots if no num_proc is specified on the command line. However, please note the following limitation: we ONLY allow ONE application to be specified on the command line when this feature is invoked. If multiple apps are specified, the user MUST also specify the number to be launched for each and every one of them.
Update the help text to report errors when not following that rule.

Also updated the RMAPS help text to reflect the reorganization of some of the round-robin code into the base.

The new functionality has been tested under Mac OS-X and on Odin using an MPI program. Both byslot and bynode mapping have been checked and verified. Operational support for other systems needs to be verified - I respectfully request people's help in doing so.
