This code is the implementation of Software-base Performance Counters as described in the paper 'Using Software-Base Performance Counters to Expose Low-Level Open MPI Performance Information' in EuroMPI/USA '17 (http://icl.cs.utk.edu/news_pub/submissions/software-performance-counters.pdf). More practical usage information can be found here: https://github.com/davideberius/ompi/wiki/How-to-Use-Software-Based-Performance-Counters-(SPCs)-in-Open-MPI.
All software events functions are put in macros that become no-ops when SOFTWARE_EVENTS_ENABLE is not defined. The internal timer units have been changed to cycles to avoid division operations which was a large source of overhead as discussed in the paper. Added a --with-spc configure option to enable SPCs in the Open MPI build. This defines SOFTWARE_EVENTS_ENABLE. Added an MCA parameter, mpi_spc_enable, for turning on specific counters. Added an MCA parameter, mpi_spc_dump_enabled, for turning on and off dumping SPC counters in MPI_Finalize. Added an SPC test and example.

As we changed the ABI (forcing a major release), we can limit
the size of the predefined communicators by moving the collective
structure outside the communicator. This might have a minimal,
but unnoticeable, impact on performance. This approach has been
discussed during the January 2017 devel meeting.

currently, MPI fails with MPI_ERR_ARG. This is counter intuitive since
MPI_IN_PLACE is a legitimate parameter. MPI_IN_PLACE might not be correctly
implemented by all the non blocking modules (libnbc, ...) so fail with
MPI_ERR_INTERN for the time being.
when profiling is built.
This prevents oshmem subroutines from being wrapped twice by third
party tools (e.g. once in oshmem and once in MPI)

Thanks to Bert Wesarg for bringing this to our attention
This commit :
- Correctly retrieve the communicator size when
checking memory and parameters
- Ensure (sendtype,sendcount) and (recvtype,recvcount)
matches and return with MPI_ERR_TRUNCATE otherwise
- Return with MPI_SUCCESS without invoking the low level
if no data is going to be transferred
- Fixes trac:4506

arrays.
The MPI 3.0 standard added const to all in buffers in the C bindings. This
commit adds the const keyword and in most cases casts const away. We will
eventually should go through and update the various interfaces (coll, pml,
io, etc) to take the const keyword. The group, comm, win, and datatype
interfaces have been updated with const.
