A bunch of fixes from the /tmp/iof-fixes branch that fix up ''some''
(but not ''all'') of the problems that we have seen with iof:
* Reading very large files via stdin redirected to orteun (Sun saw
this)
* Reading a little bit of a large file redirected to orterun's stdin
and then either closing stdin or exiting the process
The Big Change was to make the proxy iof (the one running in non-HNP
orteds) send back a "I'm closing the stream" ACK back to the service
iof. This tells the HNP that there will be nothing more coming from
that peer, and therefore the iof forward should be removed.
Many other minor cleanups/fixes, terminology changes, and
documentation additions are included in this commit as well. However,
there are still some pretty big outstanding issues with IOF that are
not addressed either by #967 or this commit. A few examples:
* IOF was designed to allow multiple subscribers to a single stream.
We're not entirely sure that this works (for one thing, there is
nothing in the ORTE/OMPI code base that uses this functionality).
* There are also resources leaked when processes/jobs exit (per
Ralph's first comment on this ticket).
* There is no feedback to close orterun's stdin when all subscribers
to the corresponding stream have closed stdin.

The primary change that underlies all this is in the OOB. Specifically, the problem in the code until now has been that the OOB attempts to resolve an address when we call the "send" to an unknown recipient. The OOB would then wait forever if that recipient never actually started (and hence, never reported back its OOB contact info). In the case of an orted that failed to start, we would correctly detect that the orted hadn't started, but then we would attempt to order all orteds (including the one that failed to start) to die. This would cause the OOB to "hang" the system.
Unfortunately, revising how the OOB resolves addresses introduced a number of additional problems. Specifically, and most troublesome, was the fact that comm_spawn involved the immediate transmission of the rendezvous point from parent-to-child after the child was spawned. The current code used the OOB address resolution as a "barrier" - basically, the parent would attempt to send the info to the child, and then "hold" there until the child's contact info had arrived (meaning the child had started) and the send could be completed.
Note that this also caused comm_spawn to "hang" the entire system if the child never started... The app-failed-to-start helped improve that behavior - this code provides additional relief.
With this change, the OOB will return an ADDRESSEE_UNKNOWN error if you attempt to send to a recipient whose contact info isn't already in the OOB's hash tables. To resolve comm_spawn issues, we also now force the cross-sharing of connection info between parent and child jobs during spawn.
Finally, to aid in setting triggers to the right values, we introduce the "arith" API for the GPR. This function allows you to atomically change the value in a registry location (either divide, multiply, add, or subtract) by the provided operand. It is equivalent to first fetching the value using a "get", then modifying it, and then putting the result back into the registry via a "put".

To be precise, given this hypothetical launching pattern:
host1: vpids 0, 2, 4, 6
host2: vpids 1, 3, 5, 7
The local_rank for these procs would be:
host1: vpids 0->local_rank 0, v2->lr1, v4->lr2, v6->lr3
host2: vpids 1->local_rank 0, v3->lr1, v5->lr2, v7->lr3
and the number of local procs on each node would be four. If vpid=0 then does a comm_spawn of one process on host1, the values of the parent job would remain unchanged. The local_rank of the child process would be 0 and its num_local_procs would be 1 since it is in a separate jobid.
I have verified this functionality for the rsh case - need to verify that slurm and other cases also get the right values. Some consolidation of common code is probably going to occur in the SDS components to make this simpler and more maintainable in the future.
This commit was SVN r14706.
Test for system limits (where known) prior to doing things like fork and pipe since some systems aren't very nice about it when we try to exceed such limits.
This commit was SVN r14494.
There is a binomial algorithm in the code (i.e., the HNP would send to a subset of the orteds, which then relay it on according to the typical log-2 algo), but that has a bug in it so the code won't let you select it even if you tried (and the mca param doesn't show, so you'd *really* have to try).
This also involved a slight change to the oob.xcast API, so propagated that as required.
Note: this has *only* been tested on rsh, SLURM, and Bproc environments (now that it has been transferred to the OMPI trunk, I'll need to re-test it [only done rsh so far]). It should work fine on any environment that uses the ORTE daemons - anywhere else, you are on your own... :-)
Also, correct a mistake where the orte_debug_flag was declared an int, but the mca param was set as a bool. Move the storage for that flag to the orte/runtime/params.c and orte/runtime/params.h files appropriately.
This commit was SVN r14475.
Per discussions with Brian and Ralph, make a slight correction in
where components are installed. Use $pkglibdir, not $libdir/openmpi,
so that when compiled in the orte trunk, components are installed to
the right directory (because the component search patch is checking
$pkglibdir).

This change utilizes the new num_processors function. I also left the mods made to ompi_mpi_init and the bug fix for the default value of mpi_yield_when_idle. Note that the mods to mpi_init will not really take effect as the mca param will now *always* be set (either by user or odls). We will need those mods later, so no point in removing them now.
This commit was SVN r13519.
1. if the user has specified sched_yield, we simply do what we are told
2. if they didn't specify anything, try to get the number of processors on this node. Note that we already now get the number of local procs in our job that are sharing this node - that now comes in through the proc callback and is stored in the ompi_proc_t structures.
3. if we can get the number of processors, compare that to the number of local procs from my job that are sharing my node. If the number of local procs exceeds the number of processors, then set sched_yield to true. If not, then be a hog and set sched_yield to false
4. if we can't get the number of processors, default to conservative behavior and set sched_yield to true.
Note that I have not yet dealt with the need to dynamically adjust this setting as more processes are added via comm_spawn. So far, we are *only* looking within our own job. Given that we have now moved this logic to mpi_init (and away from the orteds), it isn't yet clear to me how a process will be informed about the number of procs in *other* jobs that are also sharing this node.
Something to continue to ponder.

rc (which is -1 or 4 if we hit this case) resulted in an odd error that a
signal killed the proc (instead of a startup error, as is reality).
Instead, use the W_EXITCODE macro (if available) to build up an exit
code that has an error code for exit status, but does not make it look
like the process died from a signal

I found only two places that were looking at the tokens:
1. the odls - we used the tokens to separately process the globals container data from everything else. In this case, I left the subscription that returned the globals data alone, but "stripped" the subscription that returned the launch data for the procs. These subscriptions have nothing to do with the xcast message.
2. the pml_base_modex - the callback function was getting process names from the returned tokens. Actually, this function was doing a very bad thing - it was assuming that the first token returned was *always* the process name. This is currently true, but is one of those assumptions that someone could have easily changed - and suddenly found the system inexplicably failing. I modified the function to (a) get the name sent back to us, (b) "stripped" the value structures of tokens and segment strings, and (c) correctly obtained process names from the returned values. I also reindented the heck out of the code so it was legible (at least, to my old eyes).

Obviously, people like bproc will have to get the app_num via another avenue...but that's a problem for another day. Several options are easily available.
This commit was SVN r12788.
1. implement and enable the non-described buffer operations. I will send out a more detailed explanation separately. However, this mode of operation (which is now the default) significantly reduces message size during startup. If you want the described buffers, set the mca param "-mca dss_describe_buffer 1".
2. revise the xcast system to support both linear and binomial tree broadcast methods. Since we are seeing scenarios where the binomiall tree can cause problems, I have made the linear method the default. To run with the binomial tree, set the mca param "-mca oob_xcast_mode binomial".
3. add some detailed timing reports to the xcast operation. These are enabled via "-mca oob_xcast_timing 1".
4. add some more unit tests for the dss and gpr (focused on support for the non-described buffer)

Add placeholders for the new orte tools. These don't actually do anything yet - in fact, I have set the .ompi_ignore so that you won't compile them (I have set a .ompi_unignore for me). Please let me know if you encounter any trouble with this - the ompi_ignore's should protect everyone.

1. new functionality in the pls base to check for reusable daemons and launch upon them
2. an extension of the odls API to allow each odls component to build a notify message with the "correct" data in it for adding processes to the local daemon. This means that the odls now opens components on the HNP as well as on daemons - but that's the price of allowing so much flexibility. Only the default odls has this functionality enabled - the others just return NOT_IMPLEMENTED
3. addition of a new command line option "--reuse-daemons" to orterun. The default, for now, is to NOT reuse daemons. Once we have more time to test this capability, we may choose to reverse the default. For one thing, we probably want to investigate the tradeoffs in start time for comm_spawn'd processes that reuse daemons versus launch their own. On some systems, though, having another daemon show up can cause problems - so they may want to set the default as "reuse".
This is ONLY enabled for rsh launch, at the moment. The code needing to be added to each launcher is about three lines long, so I'll be doing that as I get access to machines I can test it on.

Accordingly, there are new APIs to the name service to support the ability to get a job's parent, root, immediate children, and all its descendants. In addition, the terminate_job, terminate_orted, and signal_job APIs for the PLS have been modified to accept attributes that define the extent of their actions. For example, doing a "terminate_job" with an attribute of ORTE_NS_INCLUDE_DESCENDANTS will terminate the given jobid AND all jobs that descended from it.
I have tested this capability on a MacBook under rsh, Odin under SLURM, and LANL's Flash (bproc). It worked successfully on non-MPI jobs (both simple and including a spawn), and MPI jobs (again, both simple and with a spawn).

Add some debugging output to the ODLS default module, and the orted.
Remove the nodename data from the ODLS info report - that info is already stored in the registry by the RMAPS framework upon completing the mapping procedure.
Add another test program that does an ORTE-only dynamic spawn (gasp!). Looks just like comm_spawn - just no MPI involved.
Modify the ODLS to release the processor when we "kill" local procs in a more scalable fashion. It previously had a sleep in it that Jeff's prior commit removed. However, he introduced some Windows code into the non-Windows component (protected by "if"s, but unnecessary). This is a more general solution he proposed - included here so I could get things to compile properly.
This commit was SVN r12579.
1. Fix the "hang" condition when an application isn't found. It turned out that the ODLS had some difficulty with the process actually not having been started - hence, it never called the waitpid callback. As a result, the "terminated" trigger didn't fire, and so mpirun didn't wake up. With this change, the HNP's errmgr forces the issue by causing the trigger to fire itself when an abort condition occurs.
2. Shift the recording of the pid and the nodename from mpi_init to the orted launcher. This allows programs such as Eclipse PTP to get the pids even for non-MPI applications. In the case of bproc, the pls handles this chore since we don't use orteds in that system.
