This commit adds support for project_framework_component_* parameter
matching. This is the first step in allowing the same framework name
in multiple projects. This change also bumps the MCA component version
to 2.1.0.
All master frameworks have been updated to use the new component
versioning macro. An mca.h has been added to each project to add a
project specific versioning macro of the form
PROJECT_MCA_VERSION_2_1_0.

Enabling the FT code breaks compilation (again). This series
tries to fix the compiler errors. This is again only fixing
the compiler errors without any warranty that the result
might actually support FT again.
The FT code used barrier mechanisms which have been removed
with aec5cd08bd. This patch replaces
all those different barriers with opal_pmix.fence(NULL, 0);
I am not sure this is completely correct but at least a starting
point for a review.

This first patch moves orte_cr_continue_like_restart from ORTE
to opal_cr_continue_like_restart in OPAL. This only leaves three
calls from OPAL to ORTE in the FT code. As it is not yet 100%
clear how to handle these calls the code orte_sstore.set_attr()
has been #ifdef'd out for now.
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.
Background: In order to support atomics each btl needs to provide support
for communicating with self unless the btl module can guarantee global
atomicity. Before this commit bml/r2 discarded any BTL with lower
exclusivity than an existing send btl. This would cause the BML to
discard any btl other than self.
The new behavior is as follows:
- If an exisiting send btl has higher exclusivity then the btl will not be
added to the send btl list for the endpoint.
- If a btl provides RDMA support then it is always added to the rdma btl
list.
- bml_btl weight for send btls is now calculated across all send btls.
- bml_btl weight for rdma btls is now calculated across all rdma btls.
With this change self should still win as the only send btl for loopback
without disqualifying other btls (ugni, openib) for atomic operations.

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.

mca_btl_base_segment_t and replace them with des_local and des_remote
This change also updates the BTL version to 3.0.0. This commit does
not represent the final version of BTL 3.0.0. More changes are coming.
In making this change I updated all of the BTLs as well as BTL user's
to use the new structure members. Please evaluate your component to
ensure the changes are correct.
RFC text:
This is the first of several BTL interface changes I am proposing for
the 1.9/2.0 release series.
What: Change naming of btl descriptor members. I propose we change
des_src and des_dst (and their associated counts) to be des_local and
des_remote. For receive callbacks the des_local member will be used to
communicate the segment information to the callback. The proposed change
will include updating all of the doxygen in btl.h as well as updating
all BTLs and BTL users to use the new naming scheme.
Why: My btl usage makes use of both put and get operations on the same
descriptor. With the current naming scheme I need to ensure that there
is consistency beteen the segments described in des_src and des_dst
depending on whether a put or get operation is executed. Additionally,
the current naming prevents BTLs that do not require prepare/RMA matched
operations (do not set MCA_BTL_FLAGS_RDMA_MATCHED) from executing
multiple simultaneous put AND get operations. At the moment the
descriptor can only be used with one or the other. The naming change
makes it easier for BTL users to setup/modify descriptors for RMA
operations as the local segment and remote segment are always in the
same member field. The only issue I forsee with this change is that it
will require a little more work to move BTL fixes to the 1.8 release
series.

of existing BTL fo an endpoint, all the others are just partial list.
Thus, all the cleaning should first be done in the btl_send array,
and them in the other arrays (btl_eager and btl_rdma).

This commit fixes two issues:
- This intent of the code @ bml_r2.c:486 is to prevent calling the
btl_del_procs more than once for a given proc. Gilles correctly
identified there was a problem in this code but r31786 we not the
correct fix.
- Fix a segmentation fault in r2 finalize revealed by the fact we
actually call del_procs now.

This commit fixes leaks of bml endpoints in finalize. A summary of the
bugs/fixes is below.
1) ompi_mpi_finalize used ompi_proc_all to get the list of procs but
never released the reference to them (ompi_proc_all called
OBJ_RETAIN on all the procs returned). When calling del_procs at
finalize it should suffice to call ompi_proc_world which does not
increment the reference count.
2) del_procs is called BEFORE ompi_comm_finalize. This leaves the
references to the procs from calling the pml_add_comm
function. The fix is to reorder the calls to do omp_comm_finalize,
del_procs, pml_finalize instead of del_procs, pml_finalize,
ompi_comm_finalize.
3) The check in del_procs in r2 checked for a reference count of
1. This is incorrect. At this point there should be 2 references:
1 from ompi_proc, and another from the add_procs. The fix is to
change this check to look for a reference count of 22. This check
makes me extremely uncomforable as nothing will call del_procs if
the reference count of a procs is not 2 when del_procs is
called. Maybe there should be an assert since this is a developer
error IMHO.

includes various fixes all over the C/R code which are
hard to group like the other patches.
Changes from V1:
* 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)

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.
This commit was SVN r29100.
* add a new MCA param orte_hostname_cutoff to specify the number of nodes at which we stop including hostnames. This defaults to INT_MAX => always include hostnames. If a value is given, then we will include hostnames for any allocation smaller than the given limit.
* remove ompi_proc_get_hostname. Replace all occurrences with a direct link to ompi_proc_t's proc_hostname, protected by appropriate "if NULL"
* modify the OMPI-ORTE integration component so that any call to modex_recv automatically loads the ompi_proc_t->proc_hostname field as well as returning the requested info. Thus, any process whose modex info you retrieve will automatically receive the hostname. Note that on-demand retrieval is still enabled - i.e., if we are running under direct launch with PMI, the hostname will be fetched upon first call to modex_recv, and then the ompi_proc_t->proc_hostname field will be loaded
* removed a stale MCA param "mpi_keep_peer_hostnames" that was no longer used anywhere in the code base
* added an envar lookup in ess/pmi for the number of nodes in the allocation. Sadly, PMI itself doesn't provide that info, so we have to get it a different way. Currently, we support PBS-based systems and SLURM - for any other, rank0 will emit a warning and we assume max number of daemons so we will always retain hostnames
This commit was SVN r29052.
This creates a really bad scaling behavior. Users have found a nearly 20% launch time differential between mpirun and PMI, with PMI being the slower method. Some of the problem is attributable to poor exchange algorithms in RM's like Slurm and Alps, but we make things worse by calling "get" so many times.
Nathan (with a tad advice from me) has attempted to alleviate this problem by reducing the number of "get" calls. This required the following changes:
* upon first request for data, have the OPAL db pmi component fetch and decode *all* the info from a given remote proc. It turned out we weren't caching the info, so we would continually request it and only decode the piece we needed for the immediate request. We now decode all the info and push it into the db hash component for local storage - and then all subsequent retrievals are fulfilled locally
* reduced the amount of data by eliminating the exchange of the OMPI_ARCH value if heterogeneity is not enabled. This was used solely as a check so we would error out if the system wasn't actually homogeneous, which was fine when we thought there was no cost in doing the check. Unfortunately, at large scale and with direct launch, there is a non-zero cost of making this test. We are open to finding a compromise (perhaps turning the test off if requested?), if people feel strongly about performing the test
* reduced the amount of RTE data being automatically fetched, and fetched the rest only upon request. In particular, we no longer immediately fetch the hostname (which is only used for error reporting), but instead get it when needed. Likewise for the RML uri as that info is only required for some (not all) environments. In addition, we no longer fetch the locality unless required, relying instead on the PMI clique info to tell us who is on our local node (if additional info is required, the fetch is performed when a modex_recv is issued).
Again, all this only impacts direct launch - all the info is provided when launched via mpirun as there is no added cost to getting it
Barring objections, we may move this (plus any required other pieces) to the 1.7 branch once it soaks for an appropriate time.

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().
