This commit adds support to the pml, mtl, and btl frameworks for
components to indicate at runtime that they do not support the new
dynamic add_procs behavior. At the high end the lack of dynamic
add_procs support is signalled by the pml using the new pml_flags
member to the pml module structure. If the
MCA_PML_BASE_FLAG_REQUIRE_WORLD flag is set MPI_Init will generate the
ompi_proc_t array passed to add_proc from ompi_proc_world () instead
of ompi_proc_get_allocated ().
Both cm and ob1 have been updated to detect if the underlying mtl and
btl components support dynamic add_procs.

The Portals4 MTL allocates two Portals IDs requesting specific
well-known IDs and assumes that those IDs are allocated. If those IDs
are in use, PtlPTAlloc() will allocate a different ID. This commit
verifies that the requested IDs were allocated.
When activating short receive blocks on the overflow list, remove
the PTL_ME_EVENT_LINK_DISABLE flag so the event gets generated.
Without PTL_EVENT_LINK, the block status can't reach the activated
state.
Replace #ifdef with #if for Open MPI configure booleans, because
Open MPI configure booleans are always defined and the value must
be checked.
In days past, some implementations of Portals4 could not cover all
of memory with a single Memory Descriptor so multiple large
overlapping Memory Descriptors were created. Because none of the
current implementations have this limitation (and no future
implementations should either), this commit removes the overlapping
Memory Descriptors code.
If OMPI is initialized as thread multiple, then it is possible for
Portals events to be processed out of order by different threads.
Out of order events could lead to reactivation of the block
(PTL_EVENT_AUTO_FREE) before the block is removed from the active
list (PTL_EVENT_AUTO_UNLINK). This commit adds a status field to
ompi_mtl_portals4_recv_short_block_t that coordinates these events.
The length parameter of ompi_mtl_portals4_long_isend() was declared
as "int", which may not be big enough depending on the platform and
compiler options used. This commit changes the type to size_t to
prevent overflow.
The source field was 16 bits which is not sufficient for many
current and future machines. This commit expands the source field
to 24 bits and reduces the tag field from 32 bits to 24 bits.
PtlMDRelease() was called if read_msg() returned a failure code.
This commit moves the PtlMDRelease() inside read_msg() so that it
doesn't get called in cases where the failure happens before or at
the PtlMDBind().
This commit adds an MCA variable to select Portals4 logical
addressing, populates the logical-to-physical mapping table and
initializes the NI in this mode.
Please verify your components have been updated correctly. Keep in
mind that in terms of threading:
OPAL_FREE_LIST_GET -> opal_free_list_get_st
OPAL_FREE_LIST_RETURN -> opal_free_list_return_st
I used the opal_using_threads() variant anytime it appeared multiple
threads could be operating on the free list. If this is not the case
update to _st. If multiple threads are always in use change to _mt.
This commit adds an owner file in each of the component directories
for each framework. This allows for a simple script to parse
the contents of the files and generate, among other things, tables
to be used on the project's wiki page. Currently there are two
"fields" in the file, an owner and a status. A tool to parse
the files and generate tables for the wiki page will be added
in a subsequent commit.
Squash compiler warnings now showing up in the
query methods for the mtls. Cast pointers to the different
mtl module specific types to the mca_base_module_t.
Also, fix up a missing extern in mtl_psm_types.h.
This was causing "multiple definition" errors when building
the mca_mtl_psm.so shared library.
Switch to using the query/priority method for selecting
MTLs. This switch was motivated by the fact that now
on some platforms, its possible for multiple MTLs to
be initializable, but only one MTL should be selected.
In addition, there is a complication with the PSM and
IFO (with PSM provider) MTLs owing to the fact that
they cannot both intialize the underlying PSM context,
i.e. only one call to psm_init is allowed per process.
The mxm component has not been compiled as the author
doesn't currently have access to a system with a recent
enough mxm installed to allow for a compile.
The portals4, ofi, and psm components have been checked
for compilation. The ofi and psm components have been
checked for runtime correctness on a intel/qlogic system
with up to date PSM installed.
WHAT: Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
server-to-server collectives
WHY: We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
requirements.
WHEN: Mon, Aug 25
WHERE: https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git
Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.
All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.
Accordingly, we have:
* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.
* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.
* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint
* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code
* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.
* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand

WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.

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.

configure-time dynamic allocation of flags. The net result for platforms
which only support BTL-based communication is a reduction of 8*nprocs bytes
per process. Platforms which support both MTLs and BTLs will not see
a space reduction, but will now be able to safely run both the MTL and BTL
side-by-side, which will prove useful.

Notes:
- This commit also eliminates the need for an available components list in use
in several frameworks. None of the code in question was making use of the
priority field of the priority component list item so these extra lists were
removed.
- Cleaned up selection code in several frameworks to sort lists using opal_list_sort.
- Cleans up the ompi/orte-info functions. Expose the functions that construct the
list of params so they can be used elsewhere.
patches for mtl/portals4 from brian
missed a few output variables in openib
This commit was SVN r28241.
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.

flags, and mca flags are kept seperate until the very end. The main configure
wrapper flags should now be modified by using the OPAL_WRAPPER_FLAGS_ADD
macro. MCA components should either let <framework>_<component>_{LIBS,LDFLAGS}
be copied over OR set <framework>_<component>_WRAPPER_EXTRA_{LIBS,LDFLAGS}.
The situations in which WRAPPER CPPFLAGS can be set by MCA components was
made very small to match the one use case where it makes sense.
