aggregating version when using ORTE, so there's no reason to
directly call orte_show_help.

(OMPI_ERR_* = OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE(ret)), since the return value could be a
SOS-encoded error. The OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE() takes in a SOS error and returns
back the native error code.
* Since OPAL_SUCCESS is preserved by SOS, also change all calls of the form
(OPAL_ERROR == ret) to (OPAL_SUCCESS != ret). We thus avoid having to
decode 'ret' to get the native error code.

got a whole lot smaller, decreasing the memory footprint of the
running application. How much it's a good question. Here is a
breakdown:
- in mca_bml_base_endpoint_t: 3 *size_t + 1 * uint32_t
- in mca_bml_base_btl_t: 1 * int + 1 * double - 1 * float
+ 6 * size_t + 9 * (void*)
The decrease in mca_bml_base_endpoint_t is for each peer and the
decrease in mca_bml_base_btl_t is for each BTL for each peer.
So, if we consider the most convenient case where there is only
one network between all peers, this decrease the memory foot print
per peer by
9*size_t + 9*(void*) + 2 * int32_t + 1 * double - 1 * float.
On a 64 bits machine this will be 156 bytes per peer.
Now we access all these fields directly from the underlying BTL
structure, and as this structure is common to multiple BML endpoint,
we are a lot more cache friendly. Even if this do not improve the
latency, it makes the SM performance graph a lot smoother.

There was an argument that was barely used, and on return at the PML
level it contained nothing usable. It has been removed, so now we're
using less memory ...

a little bit more than "BTL was able to add some procs". The real condition to
allow the BTL progress is that we will use it to send/recv data to/from some
of the peers (this include the BTL exclusivity in the process).
This commit was SVN r19010.
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.

1. The send path get shorter. The BTL is allowed to return > 0 to specify that the
descriptor was pushed to the networks, and that the memory attached to it is
available again for the upper layer. The MCA_BTL_DES_SEND_ALWAYS_CALLBACK flag
can be used by the PML to force the BTL to always trigger the callback.
Unmodified BTL will continue to work as expected, as they will return OMPI_SUCCESS
which force the PML to have exactly the same behavior as before. Some BTLs have
been modified: self, sm, tcp, mx.
2. Add send immediate interface to BTL.
The idea is to have a mechanism of allowing the BTL to take advantage of
send optimizations such as the ability to deliver data "inline". Some
network APIs such as Portals allow data to be sent using a "thin" event
without packing data into a memory descriptor. This interface change
allows the BTL to use such capabilities and allows for other optimizations
in the future. All existing BTLs except for Portals and sm have this interface
set to NULL.

= 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.

- the registration array is now global instead of one by BTL.
- each framework have to declare the entries in the registration array reserved. Then
it have to define the internal way of sharing (or not) these entries between all
components. As an example, the PML will not share as there is only one active PML
at any moment, while the BTLs will have to. The tag is 8 bits long, the first 3
are reserved for the framework while the remaining 5 are use internally by each
framework.
- The registration function is optional. If a BTL do not provide such function,
nothing happens. However, in the case where such function is provided in the BTL
structure, it will be called by the BML, when a tag is registered.
Now, it's time for the second step... Converting OB1 from a switch based PML to an
active message one.

for dynamic selection of cpc methods based on what is available. It
also allows for inclusion/exclusions of methods. It even futher allows
for modifying the priorities of certain cpc methods to better determine
the optimal cpc method.
This patch also contains XRC compile time disablement (per Jeff's
patch).
At a high level, the cpc selections works by walking through each cpc
and allowing it to test to see if it is permissable to run on this
mpirun. It returns a priority if it is permissable or a -1 if not. All
of the cpc names and priorities are rolled into a string. This string
is then encapsulated in a message and passed around all the ompi
processes. Once received and unpacked, the list received is compared
to a local copy of the list. The connection method is chosen by
comparing the lists passed around to all nodes via modex with the list
generated locally. Any non-negative number is a potentially valid
connection method. The method below of determining the optimal
connection method is to take the cross-section of the two lists. The
highest single value (and the other side being non-negative) is selected
as the cpc method.

We eagerly send data up to btl_*_eager_limit with the match
Upon ACK of the MATCH we start using send/receives of size
btl_*_max_send_size up to the btl_*_rdma_pipeline_offset
After the btl_*_rdma_pipeline_offset we begin using RDMA writes of
size btl_*_rdma_pipeline_frag_size.
Now, on a per message basis we only use the above protocol if the
message is larger than btl_*_min_rdma_pipeline_size

Fix for memory corruption in the restarted process stack. This stemed from
the brute force method we were previously using. This commit fixes this by
using a lighter weight solution focused in the r2 BML instead of above the PML.
This is a more efficient and flexible solution, and it solves the original
problem.
In the process I pulled out the ft_event function in the tcp BTL and r2 BML
into a set of *_ft.[c|h] files just to keep any updates to these code paths
as isolated as possible to make merging easier on everyone.
