55cd65b149 Don't warn about binding (process and/or memory) if the node cannot do it or if we would overload, but it wasn't specifically requested by the user (i.e., it is the result of the default policy). Instead, just don't bind and quietly move along.
Reset topology usage for each node as we bind as multiple nodes may be linked to the same topology object. This will need to be revisited for scale as it does take some non-zero time to reset the usage each iteration. However, storing individual topology objects for every node consumes memory, so it's a tradeoff.

* explain why mca_base_component_distill_checkpoint_ready no longer works
* compare return result of opal functions with OPAL_* values

Changes from V2:
* use orte_rml_oob_ft_event() instead of referencing through the modules
* properly protect variable (thanks to --enable-picky)

8b6d117541 Per the OMPI devel conference that changed our default behaviors:
* default to bind-to core 
* map-by slot if np=2
* map-by socket (balance across sockets on each node) if np > 2
* map-by <obj> will imply rank-by <obj> by default (leave default binding as above) 

Fix a bug in the map-by <obj> mapper where we incorrectly compute the #procs to assign if the #slots > #procs

1bc8f41edb This commit combines 3 somewhat-unrelated things, which unfortunately
got linked together (work on one caused work in the other):

 * Clean up a bunch of VAR_SCOPE issues in configure.  This includes:
   * Using VAR_SCOPE_PUSH and VAR_SCOPE_POP in more places
   * Cleaning up the use of some shell variables (e.g., name them better)
 * Add support for external libevent via
   --with-libevent=<dir-to-libevent-install-tree>, as specifically
   asked for by downstream packagers.
 * Revamp how wrapper compiler RPATH (and RUNPATH) support is done.
   The external libevent work exposed weakenesses in how the original
   RPATH/RUNPATH work was done, so we had to re-do it to be a bit more
   robust.

This work has not yet been tested on Solaris.

24c811805f ****************************************************************
This change contains a non-mandatory modification
       of the MPI-RTE interface. Anyone wishing to support
       coprocessors such as the Xeon Phi may wish to add
       the required definition and underlying support
****************************************************************

Add locality support for coprocessors such as the Intel Xeon Phi.

Detecting that we are on a coprocessor inside of a host node isn't straightforward. There are no good "hooks" provided for programmatically detecting that "we are on a coprocessor running its own OS", and the ORTE daemon just thinks it is on another node. However, in order to properly use the Phi's public interface for MPI transport, it is necessary that the daemon detect that it is colocated with procs on the host.

So we have to split the locality to separately record "on the same host" vs "on the same board". We already have the board-level locality flag, but not quite enough flexibility to handle this use-case. Thus, do the following:

1. add OPAL_PROC_ON_HOST flag to indicate we share a host, but not necessarily the same board

2. modify OPAL_PROC_ON_NODE to indicate we share both a host AND the same board. Note that we have to modify the OPAL_PROC_ON_LOCAL_NODE macro to explicitly check both conditions

3. add support in opal/mca/hwloc/base/hwloc_base_util.c for the host to check for coprocessors, and for daemons to check to see if they are on a coprocessor. The former is done via hwloc, but support for the latter is not yet provided by hwloc. So the code for detecting we are on a coprocessor currently is Xeon Phi specific - hopefully, we will find more generic methods in the future.

4. modify the orted and the hnp startup so they check for coprocessors and to see if they are on a coprocessor, and have the orteds pass that info back in their callback message. Automatically detect that coprocessors have been found and identify which coprocessors are on which hosts. Note that this algo isn't scalable at the moment - this will hopefully be improved over time.

5. modify the ompi proc locality detection function to look for coprocessor host info IF the OMPI_RTE_HOST_ID database key has been defined. RTE's that choose not to provide this support do not have to do anything - the associated code will simply be ignored.

6. include some cleanup of the hwloc open/close code so it conforms to how we did things in other frameworks (e.g., having a single "frame" file instead of open/close). Also, fix the locality flags - e.g., being on the same node means you must also be on the same cluster/cu, so ensure those flags are also set.

9902748108 ***** THIS INCLUDES A SMALL CHANGE IN THE MPI-RTE INTERFACE *****
Fix two problems that surfaced when using direct launch under SLURM:

1. locally store our own data because some BTLs want to retrieve 
   it during add_procs rather than use what they have internally

2. cleanup MPI_Abort so it correctly passes the error status all
   the way down to the actual exit. When someone implemented the
   "abort_peers" API, they left out the error status. So we lost
   it at that point and *always* exited with a status of 1. This 
   forces a change to the API to include the status.

2121e9c01b Fix an issue regarding use of PMI when running processes and tools that don't need or want to use it. We build PMI support based on configuration settings and library availability.
However, tools such as mpirun don't need it, and definitely shouldn't be using it. Ditto for procs launched by mpirun.

We used to have a way of dealing with this - we had the PMI component check to see if the process was the HNP or was launched by an HNP. Sadly, moving the OPAL db framework removed
 that ability as OPAL has no notion of HNPs or proc type.

So add a boolean flag to the db_base_select API that allows us to restrict selection to "local" components. This gives the PMI component the ability to reject itself as required. W
e then need to pass that param into the ess_base_std_app call so it can pass it all down.

d565a76814 Do some cleanup of the way we handle modex data. Identify data that needs to be shared with peers in my job vs data that needs to be shared with non-peers - no point in sharing extra data. When we share data with some process(es) from another job, we cannot know in advance what info they have or lack, so we have to share everything just in case. This limits the optimization we can do for things like comm_spawn.
Create a new required key in the OMPI layer for retrieving a "node id" from the database. ALL RTE'S MUST DEFINE THIS KEY. This allows us to compute locality in the MPI layer, which is necessary when we do things like intercomm_create.

The PMI implementation will load ALL modex keys when the first key is queried, so the hash db component can safely return "not found" if a subsequent key isn't present.

77a41e1ca9 ompi_info: mark the variables from disabled components as disabled in

A variable is disabled if its component will never be selected due to

of ompi_info was to not print these parameters at all. Now we print the
parameters. After some discussion with George it was decided that there
needed to be some way to see what parameters will not be used. This was
the comprimise.

This commit also fixes a bug and a typo in the pvar sytem. The enum_count

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
