1. remove some stale files that were overlooked in original commit
2. add a test program and data to stress iof for stdin
3. cleanup a debug statement that caused memory corruption when reading large files
4. some minor cleanups to correctly handle xon/xoff scenarios
This commit was SVN r19792.
1. completely and cleanly separates responsibilities between the HNP, orted, and tool components.
2. removes all wireup messaging during launch and shutdown.
3. maintains flow control for stdin to avoid large-scale consumption of memory by orteds when large input files are forwarded. This is done using an xon/xoff protocol.
4. enables specification of stdin recipients on the mpirun cmd line. Allowed options include rank, "all", or "none". Default is rank 0.
5. creates a new MPI_Info key "ompi_stdin_target" that supports the above options for child jobs. Default is "none".
6. adds a new tool "orte-iof" that can connect to a running mpirun and display the output. Cmd line options allow selection of any combination of stdout, stderr, and stddiag. Default is stdout.
7. adds a new mpirun and orte-iof cmd line option "tag-output" that will tag each line of output with process name and stream ident. For example, "[1,0]<stdout>this is output"
This is not intended for the 1.3 release as it is a major change requiring considerable soak time.

The segv was caused by the fact that we don't really know which daemon failed to start (at least, in most cases), so we didn't set a pointer to the aborted proc object. All we really wanted, though, was to ensure that mpirun returned a non-zero exit status, so the fix was to simply return the default error status.

If a message cannot be routed because the addressee isn't yet known, then the message is held on a queue in the RML for a period of time (currently set to 500 millisec). At the end of that time, we pop the message from the list and attempt to send it again. This action requires that we convert the header back to
network-byte-order before calling the OOB.
If the message still cannot be routed, we put the message back on the list and reset the timer. However, since we are going to convert the header when it com
es off of the list, we have to ntoh it before putting it back on the list so it all comes out right. This step was missing.
Thus, the problem only showed up relatively rarely because a message would have to be pushed onto the queue at least twice for the problem to surface.
This should fix a specific ticket (1389), but we will wait to see the results of MTT runs to verify. Note that we really don't know why a message is rattling around in the RML for so long, especially since this all seems to be happening during finalize, so this could cause mpirun to hang. Or it could simply trash the message and exit cleanly. Shall be interesting to see!

Provide support for four MPIR extensions that allow specification of debugger daemon executable, argv for the debugger daemon, whether or not to forward debugger daemon IO, and whether or not debugger daemon will piggy-back on ORTE OOB network. Last is not yet implemented.
No change in behavior or operation occurs unless (a) the debugger specifically utilizes the extensions and, for co-locate while running, the user specifically enables the capability via an MCA param. Two of the MPIR extensions supported here are used in a widely-used debugger for a large-scale installation. The other two extensions are new and being utilized in prototype work by several debuggers for possible future release.

This needs some soak time to ensure we haven't opened any race conditions. I tried to loop everything in the shutdown procedure through that trigger event call to ensure it all goes through the one-time locks as it did before so that someone hitting ctrl-c when we are already shutting down shouldn't cause problems. Just want to let people use it for awhile to verify.
This commit was SVN r19159.
During the discussion of MPI-2 functionality, it was pointed out by Aurelien that there was an inherent race condition between startup of ompi-server and mpirun. Specifically, if someone started ompi-server to run in the background as part of a script, and then immediately executed mpirun, it was possible that an MPI proc could attempt to contact the server (or that mpirun could try to read the server's contact file before the server is running and ready.
At that time, we discussed createing a new tool "ompi-wait-server" that would wait for the server to be running, and/or probe to see if it is running and return true/false. However, rather than create yet another tool, it seemed just as effective to add the functionality to mpirun.
Thus, this commit creates two new mpirun cmd line flags (hey, you can never have too many!):
--wait-for-server : instructs mpirun to ping the server to see if it responds. This causes mpirun to execute an rml.ping to the server's URI with an appropriate timeout interval - if the ping isn't successful, mpirun attempts it again.
--server-wait-time xx : sets the ping timeout interval to xx seconds. Note that mpirun will attempt to ping the server twice with this timeout, so we actually wait for twice this time. Default is 10 seconds, which should be plenty of time.
This has only lightly been tested. It works if the server is present, and outputs a nice error message if it cannot be contacted. I have not tested the race condition case.
This commit was SVN r19152.
Since OMPI allows mpirun to default to the local node, and since users want to retain the option to co-locate procs with mpirun, we needed another param to block this error case.

Standardize the handling of the orte launch agent option across PLMs. This has been a consistent complaint I have received - each PLM would register its own MCA param to get input on the launch agent for remote nodes (in fact, one or two didn't, but most did). This would then get handled in various and contradictory ways.
Some PLMs would accept only a one-word input. Others accepted multi-word args such as "valgrind orted", but then some would error by putting any prefix specified on the cmd line in front of the incorrect argument.
For example, while using the rsh launcher, if you specified "valgrind orted" as your launch agent and had "--prefix foo" on you cmd line, you would attempt to execute "ssh foo/valgrind orted" - which obviously wouldn't work.
This was all -very- confusing to users, who had to know which PLM was being used so they could even set the right mca param in the first place! And since we don't warn about non-recognized or non-used mca params, half of the time they would wind up not doing what they thought they were telling us to do.
To solve this problem, we did the following:
1. removed all mca params from the individual plms for the launch agent
2. added a new mca param "orte_launch_agent" for this purpose. To further simplify for users, this comes with a new cmd line option "--launch-agent" that can take a multi-word string argument. The value of the param defaults to "orted".
3. added a PLM base function that processes the orte_launch_agent value and adds the contents to a provided argv array. This can subsequently be harvested at-will to handle multi-word values
4. modified the PLMs to use this new function. All the PLMs except for the rsh PLM required very minor change - just called the function and moved on. The rsh PLM required much larger changes as - because of the rsh/ssh cmd line limitations - we had to correctly prepend any provided prefix to the correct argv entry.
5. added a new opal_argv_join_range function that allows the caller to "join" argv entries between two specified indices
Please let me know of any problems. I tried to make this as clean as possible, but cannot compile all PLMs to ensure all is correct.

Mpirun - and the orteds - were doing their best to whack all session dirs on their nodes just in case there was something lingering due to an abnormal termination. Unfortunately, they were -too- good at it. They were whacking all session directories under the user's name, even those from other mpiruns!
This adds another layer to the session dir tree so that we can denote which jobs come from our own job family, and restricts the cleanup operation to only session dirs from within our own job family. So we'll still cleanup anything due to our own mpirun, but won't whack any other mpirun from this user.
Call it being polite...

Cleanup the logic in the odls for when processes terminate. It turns out that we were only going through the kill_proc logic once instead of looping over all local children when we ordered a daemon to kill its local procs. This went unnoticed for some time as for most systems the local procs were terminated anyway when the daemon terminated due to the parent/child relationship.
Solaris is apparently different - the children are not automatically terminated when the parent dies. As a result, it acts as a detector for this bug.

Fix a few bugs in the mappers:
1. Ensure that bynode with no -np fills all available slots - it just does so with the ranks set bynode instead of byslot
2. fix --nolocal behavior so it works correctly in all cases. We still have to test the host's name using opal_ifislocal in the mapper because the name returned by gethostname to orte_process_info.hostname can be an FQDN, but a hostfile may contain a non-FQDN version.
3. Add missing --nolocal logic to the seq mapper
Oversubscribed mapping seemed to be working okay without repair, so I couldn't verify my own bug report in that regard.
Also included are some preliminary changes to support the modified hostfile behavior, which will be committed shortly:
1. removed the totally useless "allocate" field in the orte_node_t object since every node is automatically allocated for use - and everything ignored the field anyway
2. correctly initialize the slots_alloc field when the allocation is read

Actually, the problem was that we were simply -adding- any enviro MCA params to whatever had been found on the cmd line.

1. repair of the linear and direct routed modules
2. repair of the ompi/pubsub/orte module to correctly init routes to the ompi-server, and correctly handle failure to correctly parse the provided ompi-server URI
3. modification of orterun to accept both "file" and "FILE" for designating where the ompi-server URI is to be found - purely a convenience feature
4. resolution of a message ordering problem during the connect/accept handshake that allowed the "send-first" proc to attempt to send to the "recv-first" proc before the HNP had actually updated its routes.
Let this be a further reminder to all - message ordering is NOT guaranteed in the OOB
5. Repair the ompi/dpm/orte module to correctly init routes during connect/accept.
Reminder to all: messages sent to procs in another job family (i.e., started by a different mpirun) are ALWAYS routed through the respective HNPs. As per the comments in orte/routed, this is REQUIRED to maintain connect/accept (where only the root proc on each side is capable of init'ing the routes), allow communication between mpirun's using different routing modules, and to minimize connections on tools such as ompi-server. It is all taken care of "under the covers" by the OOB to ensure that a route back to the sender is maintained, even when the different mpirun's are using different routed modules.
6. corrections in the orte/odls to ensure proper identification of daemons participating in a dynamic launch
7. corrections in build/nidmap to support update of an existing nidmap during dynamic launch
8. corrected implementation of the update_arch function in the ESS, along with consolidation of a number of ESS operations into base functions for easier maintenance. The ability to support info from multiple jobs was added, although we don't currently do so - this will come later to support further fault recovery strategies
9. minor updates to several functions to remove unnecessary and/or no longer used variables and envar's, add some debugging output, etc.
10. addition of a new macro ORTE_PROC_IS_DAEMON that resolves to true if the provided proc is a daemon
There is still more cleanup to be done for efficiency, but this at least works.
Tested on single-node Mac, multi-node SLURM via odin. Tests included connect/accept, publish/lookup/unpublish, comm_spawn, comm_spawn_multiple, and singleton comm_spawn.

After much work by Jeff and myself, and quite a lot of discussion, it has become clear that we simply cannot resolve the infinite loops caused by RML-involved subsystems calling orte_output. The original rationale for the change to orte_output has also been reduced by shifting the output of XML-formatted vs human readable messages to an alternative approach.
I have globally replaced the orte_output/ORTE_OUTPUT calls in the code base, as well as the corresponding .h file name. I have test compiled and run this on the various environments within my reach, so hopefully this will prove minimally disruptive.

Add a new function to opal_progress that tells us our recursion depth to support that solution.
Yes, I know this sounds picky, but good ol' Jeff managed to make it happen by driving his cluster near to death...
Also ensure that we declare "failed" for the daemon job when daemons fail instead of the application job. This is important so that orte knows that it cannot use xcast to tell daemons to "exit", nor should it expect all daemons to respond. Otherwise, it is possible to hang.
After lots of testing, decide to default (again) to slurm detecting failed orteds. This proved necessary to avoid rather annoying hangs that were difficult to recover from. There are conditions where slurm will fail to launch all daemons (slurm folks are working on it), and yet again, good ol' Jeff managed to find both of them.
Thanks you Jeff! :-/

orte-checkpoint/orte-restart seem to not seem to totally like orte_output so revert them to opal_output for now. Since we have no need for the additional complexity of orte_output we can drop it for now and revisit this if anyone needs it later.
It seems that if you set the verbose level on an output handle then try to call a normal orte_output() on it then the message will *not* be printed. This is the same for opal_output, and seems incorrect to me because it stops some error messages from being printed out if you do not directly specify opal_output(0, ...). Maybe someone should take a look a this.
orte-checkpoint would segv if passed an incorrect PID. Fixed the return code so it errors out properly.

1. it depends upon the ability of the native environment to alert us that the orted has died/failed to start. I have included that support for SLURM, but other environments need to be done.
2. for some yet-to-be-determined reason, the message that tells the remaining daemons to "die" isn't getting out of the RML, even though no obvious blockage is standing in the way. Work will continue on resolving that problem. For now, the orteds appear to be exiting on their own quite nicely when they see their HNP "lifeline" disappear.
This represents the best-available fix for ticket #221 so I am closing that ticket at this time.

The former will return a valid item in the list, the latter will return an invalid item that marks the end of the list.
It was happending that when oversubscribing by way of an appfile we would cause a segv because we tried to interpret the invalid item returned by "opal_list_get_end" instead of a valid item. We would then try to write to unallocated memory.

By consolidating them all into one function, ompi_info can call that function and register the desired variables. This also requires, however, that ompi_info call orte_output_init to avoid generating tons of error messages, so make that adjustment too.
Fixes ticket #1314
In addition, orte_output has a race condition issue whereby calls to orte_output/verbose can occur prior to either the RML being defined/setup, or the HNP being defined. This latter occurs during the initialization of the orte_process_info structure. In both cases, there is no way orte_output can send the output to the HNP. Hence, the message must be simply output locally.
Fixes ticket #1315
This commit was SVN r18524.
It is still possible that someone can call an orte_output function during orte_finalize - this is not an error. Prior commits ensured that this is correctly handled. This commit only deals with improper calls prior to calling orte_init.

such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly
long.
= ORTE Job-Level Output Messages =
Add two new interfaces that should be used for all new code throughout
the ORTE and OMPI layers (we already make the search-and-replace on
the existing ORTE / OMPI layers):
* orte_output(): (and corresponding friends ORTE_OUTPUT,
orte_output_verbose, etc.) This function sends the output directly
to the HNP for processing as part of a job-specific output
channel. It supports all the same outputs as opal_output()
(syslog, file, stdout, stderr), but for stdout/stderr, the output
is sent to the HNP for processing and output. More on this below.
* orte_show_help(): This function is a drop-in-replacement for
opal_show_help(), with two differences in functionality:
1. the rendered text help message output is sent to the HNP for
display (rather than outputting directly into the process' stderr
stream)
1. the HNP detects duplicate help messages and does not display them
(so that you don't see the same error message N times, once from
each of your N MPI processes); instead, it counts "new" instances
of the help message and displays a message every ~5 seconds when
there are new ones ("I got X new copies of the help message...")
opal_show_help and opal_output still exist, but they only output in
the current process. The intent for the new orte_* functions is that
they can apply job-level intelligence to the output. As such, we
recommend that all new ORTE and OMPI code use the new orte_*
functions, not thei opal_* functions.
=== New code ===
For ORTE and OMPI programmers, here's what you need to do differently
in new code:
* Do not include opal/util/show_help.h or opal/util/output.h.
Instead, include orte/util/output.h (this one header file has
declarations for both the orte_output() series of functions and
orte_show_help()).
* Effectively s/opal_output/orte_output/gi throughout your code.
Note that orte_output_open() takes a slightly different argument
list (as a way to pass data to the filtering stream -- see below),
so you if explicitly call opal_output_open(), you'll need to
slightly adapt to the new signature of orte_output_open().
* Literally s/opal_show_help/orte_show_help/. The function signature
is identical.
=== Notes ===
* orte_output'ing to stream 0 will do similar to what
opal_output'ing did, so leaving a hard-coded "0" as the first
argument is safe.
* For systems that do not use ORTE's RML or the HNP, the effect of
orte_output_* and orte_show_help will be identical to their opal
counterparts (the additional information passed to
orte_output_open() will be lost!). Indeed, the orte_* functions
simply become trivial wrappers to their opal_* counterparts. Note
that we have not tested this; the code is simple but it is quite
possible that we mucked something up.
= Filter Framework =
Messages sent view the new orte_* functions described above and
messages output via the IOF on the HNP will now optionally be passed
through a new "filter" framework before being output to
stdout/stderr. The "filter" OPAL MCA framework is intended to allow
preprocessing to messages before they are sent to their final
destinations. The first component that was written in the filter
framework was to create an XML stream, segregating all the messages
into different XML tags, etc. This will allow 3rd party tools to read
the stdout/stderr from the HNP and be able to know exactly what each
text message is (e.g., a help message, another OMPI infrastructure
message, stdout from the user process, stderr from the user process,
etc.).
Filtering is not active by default. Filter components must be
specifically requested, such as:
{{{
$ mpirun --mca filter xml ...
}}}
There can only be one filter component active.
= New MCA Parameters =
The new functionality described above introduces two new MCA
parameters:
* '''orte_base_help_aggregate''': Defaults to 1 (true), meaning that
help messages will be aggregated, as described above. If set to 0,
all help messages will be displayed, even if they are duplicates
(i.e., the original behavior).
* '''orte_base_show_output_recursions''': An MCA parameter to help
debug one of the known issues, described below. It is likely that
this MCA parameter will disappear before v1.3 final.
= Known Issues =
* The XML filter component is not complete. The current output from
this component is preliminary and not real XML. A bit more work
needs to be done to configure.m4 search for an appropriate XML
library/link it in/use it at run time.
* There are possible recursion loops in the orte_output() and
orte_show_help() functions -- e.g., if RML send calls orte_output()
or orte_show_help(). We have some ideas how to fix these, but
figured that it was ok to commit before feature freeze with known
issues. The code currently contains sub-optimal workarounds so
that this will not be a problem, but it would be good to actually
solve the problem rather than have hackish workarounds before v1.3 final.
This commit was SVN r18434.
* Remove the opal_only option. This was suffering from bit rot, and no one uses it. It can be added back fairly easily if wanted.
* Cleanup metadata interactions at the local level.
* Touch up some of the INC funcitonality (fix typos and a minor ordering issue)
