assumptions in the FT restart code for the ORTE layer.
This fixes those problems by having the RML completely shutdown and
restart the OOB framework (instead of just the module as before).
This makes it much easier to manage, and maintainable as the OOB
changes in the future.
The SDS now does communication as part of its startup procedure, so
we need to make sure we restart the RML before the SDS so that it can
communicate properly.
OOB base [close|open] used a static bool to determine if they have
been called previously or not. I needed to expose this boolean so
that I can close() then open() the oob base in the restart procedure.
The functionality has not changed, we just now have the ability to
open/close the framework as many times as we need to as long as we
always call them in that order. (So calling open twice in a row is not allowed
as before, it is only allowed if you open(), close(), then open() again).
Things seem to be working now.

This completes the minor changes required to the PLS components. Basically, there is a small change required to the parameter list of the orted cmd functions. I caught and did it for xcpu and poe, in addition to the components listed in my email - so I think that only leaves xgrid unconverted.
The orted fail-to-start mods will also make changes in the PLS components, but those can be localized so they come in one at a time.

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.

finally brings in functionality that is already on the 1.2 branch, and
was developed and tested in the v1.2ofed branch (and other places).
Short version of new features:
* Support for ibv_fork_init()
* Automatically fill in the openib BTL bandwidth value by
querying the HCA port
* Installdirs functionality
* Fixes to always use -I in the Fortran wrapper compilers (#924)
* Gleb's mpool updates
* Remove some kruft in btl/openib/configure.m4, therefore
fixing the harmless warnings noted in #665
* Bunches of updates to the Linux RPM spec file
I.e., effectively the same thing that r14411 brought to the v1.2
branch.
Also effectively brought in r14432 and r14433 (some fixes on top of
the original r14411 commit to v1.2). Still need to bring in the moral

Description of the problem: When the rsh pls try to spawn a local
process which is missing (such as a removed orted) the orterun
deadlock.
Description of the fix: The forked child deal with finding the
program to be executed. If it fails to find it, then instead of
calling exit (as a normal forked program is expected to do) it
continue the execution using a execution path it was never
expected to use (back in orterun and then main). Bad things
happens as expected. Forcing the child to use exit when it fails
to find the orted (and forcing the child to use exit everywhere
instead of return) correct the logic of the rsh pls and make it
behave as expected.

* Remove the connect() timeout code, as it had some nasty race conditions
when connections were established as the trigger was firing. A better
solution has been found for the cluster where this was needed, so just
removing it was easiest.
* When a fatal error (too many connection failures) occurs, set an error
on messages in the queue even if there isn't an active message. The
first message to any peer will be queued without being active (and
so will all subsequent messages until the connection is established),
and the orteds will hang until that first message completes. So if
an orted can never contact it's peer, it will never exit and just sit
waiting for that message to complete.
* Cover an interesting RST condition in the connect code. A connection
can complete the three-way handshake, the connector can even send
some data, but the server side will drop the connection because it
can't move it from the half-connected to fully-connected state because
of space shortage in the listen backlog queue. This causes a RST to
be received first time that recv() is called, which will be when waiting
for the remote side of the OOB ack. In this case, transition the
connection back into a CLOSED state and try to connect again.
* Add levels of debugging, rather than all or nothing, each building on
the previous level. 0 (default) is hard errors. 1 is connection
error debugging info. 2 is all connection info. 3 is more state

Adjust the RMAPS mapped_node object to propagate the required launch_id info now included in the ras_node object.

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.

This patch moves the setting of orte_initialized to orte_init_stage2()

* Ensure that all static OBJ initializations get a refcount of 1
(doesn't ''really'' matter, since they're static, it should never

nonetheless)
* Add a "magic number" to the OBJ when compiling with debug support.
The magic number does some rudimentary support to ensure that
you're operating on a valid OBJ (and fails an assertion if you're
not). Check to ensure that the memory contains the magic number
when performing actions of OBJ's. Also remove the magic number
when DESTRUCTing OBJs, so that if, for example, an OBJ is
DESTRUCTed more than once, we'll fail the magic number assert.

1. add a "cancel_operation" API to the pls components that allows orterun to demand that an orted operation (e.g., terminate_job) be immediately cancelled and abandoned.
2. changes the pls orted commands from blocking to non-blocking. This allows us to interrupt those operations should an orted be non-responsive. The change also adds an orte_abort_timeout that limits how long orterun will automatically wait for the orteds to respond - if the terminate command, for example, doesn't see orted response within that time, then we printout an appropriate error message and just give up.
3. modifies orterun to allow multiple ctrl-c's to simply abort the program even if the orteds have not responded
4. does some cleanup on the orte-level mca params so that their implementation looks a lot more like that of ompi - makes it easier to maintain. This change also includes the definition of an orte_abort_timeout struct and associated MCA param (can't have too many!) so you can set the time after which orterun gives up on waiting for orteds to respond
This needs more testing before migrating to 1.2.

This fix includes two parts: (a) we now initialize the keyval pointer locations to NULL after the malloc, and (b) we now OBJ_NEW the keyvals prior to storing info in them.
BTW, in case anyone reads this and wonders why we don't just OBJ_NEW the keyvals in create_value, the reason is simply that some places in the code use static keyvals and simply assign those addresses into the value object's array. So not everyone wants to OBJ_NEW keyvals - by not forcing it here in create_value, we give the user the flexibility to do whatever they want.

* While waiting for the job to actually terminate, if the user hits
ctrl-c a second time, we print a warning saying "Hey, I'm still
trying to kill the job. If you *really* want me to die
immediately, hit ctrl-c again within 1 second."
* If the user hits ctrl-c a within 1 second, orterun quits with a
warning about how the job may not have actually been killed.

This has now been corrected. The singleton startup will dutifully call the mapper framework so that the proper data storage locations get initialized. Unfortunately, we then had to instruct the RMAPS not to allocate a vpid range for this job - otherwise, it would make a mistake and think there were two processes in it. Hence, a change was required to RMAPS to tell it "map this job, but don't allocate a vpid range for it".
This change will need to migrate across to 1.2 after it "soaks" the appropriate time.

I also added a new orte constant (ORTE_ERR_SILENT) that allows us to pass up the chain that an error was encountered, but NOT print ORTE_ERROR_LOG messages. This is intended to be used for cases where the error we encounter is NOT an orte error, but rather is one associated with incorrect user input (e.g., the preceding case 2). In such cases, there is no point in printing an ORTE_ERROR_LOG chain of messages as it isn't an orte error.

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).

Also, change the dss buffer type mca param to something more easily remembered (it is now "dss_buffer_type"). Heck, even I had to keep looking at the darn code to remember it.
This commit was SVN r12728.
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)

Ralph identified the problem, I tracked down ''where'' the fd was
being closed, and Brian figured out ''why'' (and the fix).
What was happening is that a remote process was closing its
stdout/stderr and therefore sending a 0-byte IOF message to mpirun.
mpirun, in turn, closed the iof endpoint associated with that stream
(i.e., stdout/stderr). IOF does this to handle the case where
mpirun's stdin is closed -- this therefore causes the stdin on all the
ORTE-started processes to have their stdin's closed as well.
So the workaround here is to check that if we get a 0-byte IOF message
on a sink (indicating a remote closure), and if that sink is the
special stdout or stderr stream, don't actually close anything in the
local process.
