This commit does two things. It removes checks for C99 required
headers (stdlib.h, string.h, signal.h, etc). Additionally it removes
definitions for required C99 types (intptr_t, int64_t, int32_t, etc).

Changing the client to leave its socket as blocking during the connect doesn't solve the problem by itself - you also have to introduce a sleep delay once the backlog is hit to avoid simply machine-gunning your way thru retries. This gets somewhat difficult to adjust as you don't want to unnecessarily prolong startup time.
We've solved this before by adding a listening thread that simply reaps accepts and shoves them into the event library for subsequent processing. This would resolve the problem, but meant yet another daemon-level thread. So I centralized the listening thread support and let multiple elements register listeners on it. Thus, each daemon now has a single listening thread that reaps accepts from multiple sources - for now, the orte/pmix server and the oob/usock support are using it. I'll add in the oob/tcp component later.
This still didn't fully resolve the SMP problem, especially on coprocessor cards (e.g., KNC). Removing the shared memory dstore support helped further improve the behavior - it looks like there is some kind of memory paging issue there that needs further understanding. Given that the shared memory support was about to be lost when I bring over the PMIx integration (until it is restored in that library), it seemed like a reasonable thing to just remove it at this point.

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.

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.
Need to check if the alps odls component has already
read the rdma creds from alps. Its okay to ask apshepherd
multiple times for rdma creds, but opal_setenv gets
a bit picky about this. Rather than check for the OPAL_EXISTS
return value from opal_setenv, for now just check with
a static variable whether or not orte_odls_alps_get_rdma_creds
has already been successfully called before.
Would be nice to have an opal_getenv function for checking
if an env. variable had already been set by opal_putenv.
In the course of doing some testing with how orted's
handle signaled child processes, found out that very
often doing a kill -9 on a process on a node just
results in the job hanging. The problem was that the
orted odls/errmgr was not properly handling the exit_code
being returned from waitpid. Now mark the proc state
as ORTE_PROC_STATE_ABORTED_BY_SIG if the exit_code
from waitpid indicates the process exited owing to
a signal.
Clean up the orte_check_alps.m4. There was a little of
unnecesary stuff for handling cle 5, since it wasn't actually
doing the right thing, which would be to use pkg-config to
find dependencies both for dynamic and static linking.
Decouple the searching for alps libs, etc. from cray pmi.
Switch the alps ess and alps odls components' config files
to use the ALPS m4 macro.

Improve a check for detecting CLE release.
Improve an error message.
Add call to orte_odls_alps_get_rdma_creds in the
local proc launch step to obtain the Cray Rdma
credentials from the apshepherd, and to set
the PMI env. variables expected by uGNI BTL, etc.
Add an alps common lib to orte. Add a function
to determine whether or not a process is in a
PAGG container.
Note: we need a better naming convention for
common libs, since right now they use a "flat"
naming convention.
Be more selective about closing fd's for the alps odls
component. Don't close fd's of pipes set up by the
apshepherd for providing RDMA credentials, etc.
Add an entry to the help file in case

It turns out that the support for Open MPI apps on
Cray was hanging on a thin thread of support when
using the mpirun job launcher. It just happened that
with a certain set of configuration options things would
work. This is bound to backfire at some point.
To fix this weakness, as well as to allow for mpirun launched
jobs to benefit from many of the advanced placement features
provided by the Cray Linux Environment (as opposed to the hwloc
only default env of orte), a new odls alps component is introduced.
We recognize that this means other users of OPAL will need to "wrap" the opal_process_name_t if they desire to abstract it in some fashion. This is regrettable, and we are looking at possible alternatives that might mitigate that requirement. Meantime, however, we have to put the needs of the OMPI community first, and are taking this step to restore hetero and SPARC support.
These two macros set the MCA prefix and MCA cmd line id,
respectively. Specifically, MCA parameters will be named
PREFIX<foo> in the environment, and the cmd line will use
-ID foo bar.
These macros must be called during configure.ac and a value
supplied. In the case of Open MPI, the values given are
PREFIX=OMPI_MCA_ and ID=mca.
Other projects (such as ORCM) will call these macros with
their own unique values. For example, ORCM uses PREFIX=ORCM_MCA_
and ID=omca
This scheme is necessary to allow running Open MPI applications under
systems that use their own versions of ORTE and OPAL. For example,
when running OMPI applications under ORCM, we need the MCA params passed
to the ORCM daemons to be separated from those recognized by the OMPI application.
WHAT: Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
server-to-server collectives
WHY: We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
requirements.
WHEN: Mon, Aug 25
WHERE: https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git
Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.
All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.
Accordingly, we have:
* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.
* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.
* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint
* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code
* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.
* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand
This commit was SVN r32570.
We have been getting several requests for new collectives that need to be inserted in various places of the MPI layer, all in support of either checkpoint/restart or various research efforts. Until now, this would require that the collective id's be generated at launch. which required modification
s to ORTE and other places. We chose not to make collectives reusable as the race conditions associated with resetting collective counters are daunti
ng.
This commit extends the collective system to allow self-generation of collective id's that the daemons need to support, thereby allowing developers to request any number of collectives for their work. There is one restriction: RTE collectives must occur at the process level - i.e., we don't curren
tly have a way of tagging the collective to a specific thread. From the comment in the code:
* In order to allow scalable
* generation of collective id's, they are formed as:
*
* top 32-bits are the jobid of the procs involved in
* the collective. For collectives across multiple jobs
* (e.g., in a connect_accept), the daemon jobid will
* be used as the id will be issued by mpirun. This
* won't cause problems because daemons don't use the
* collective_id
*
* bottom 32-bits are a rolling counter that recycles
* when the max is hit. The daemon will cleanup each
* collective upon completion, so this means a job can
* never have more than 2**32 collectives going on at
* a time. If someone needs more than that - they've got
* a problem.
*
* Note that this means (for now) that RTE-level collectives
* cannot be done by individual threads - they must be
* done at the overall process level. This is required as
* there is no guaranteed ordering for the collective id's,
* and all the participants must agree on the id of the
* collective they are executing. So if thread A on one
* process asks for a collective id before thread B does,
* but B asks before A on another process, the collectives will
* be mixed and not result in the expected behavior. We may
* find a way to relax this requirement in the future by
* adding a thread context id to the jobid field (maybe taking the
* lower 16-bits of that field).
This commit includes a test program (orte/test/mpi/coll_test.c) that cycles 100 times across barrier and modex collectives.
This commit was SVN r32203.
This won't transition cleanly to the 1.8 series, and may represent too much change, so we'll have to (a) evaluate whether or not to bring it over (once it demonstrates that it does indeed solve the problem), and (b) develop a custom patch for that purpose.

The problem arises when a hostfile is used, and the user provides host names without specifying the slots= paramater. In these cases, we assign slots=1, but automatically allow oversubscription since that number isn't confirmed. We then provide a separate parameter by which the user can direct that we assign the number of slots based on the sensed hardware - e.g., by telling us to set the #slots equal to the #cores on each node. However, this has been set to "off" by default.
In order to make this a little less complex for the user, set the default such that we automatically set #slots equal to #cores (or #hwt's if use_hwthreads_as_cpus has been set) only for those cases where the user provides names in a hostfile but does not provide slot information.
Also cleanup some a couple of issues in the mapping/binding system:
* ensure we only override the binding directive if we are oversubscribed *and* overload is not allowed
* ensure that the MPI procs don't attempt to bind themselves if they are launched by an orted as any binding directive (no matter what it was) would have been serviced by the orted on launch
* minor cleanup to the warning message when oversubscribed and binding was requested

*** THIS RFC INCLUDES A MINOR CHANGE TO THE MPI-RTE INTERFACE ***
Note: during the course of this work, it was necessary to completely separate the MPI and RTE progress engines. There were multiple places in the MPI layer where ORTE_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION was being used. A new OMPI_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION macro was created (defined in ompi/mca/rte/rte.h) that simply cycles across opal_progress until the provided flag becomes false. Places where the MPI layer blocked waiting for RTE to complete an event have been modified to use this macro.
***************************************************************************************
I am reissuing this RFC because of the time that has passed since its original release. Since its initial release and review, I have debugged it further to ensure it fully supports tests like loop_spawn. It therefore seems ready for merge back to the trunk. Given its prior review, I have set the timeout for one week.
The code is in https://bitbucket.org/rhc/ompi-oob2
WHAT: Rewrite of ORTE OOB
WHY: Support asynchronous progress and a host of other features
WHEN: Wed, August 21
SYNOPSIS:
The current OOB has served us well, but a number of limitations have been identified over the years. Specifically:
* it is only progressed when called via opal_progress, which can lead to hangs or recursive calls into libevent (which is not supported by that code)
* we've had issues when multiple NICs are available as the code doesn't "shift" messages between transports - thus, all nodes had to be available via the same TCP interface.
* the OOB "unloads" incoming opal_buffer_t objects during the transmission, thus preventing use of OBJ_RETAIN in the code when repeatedly sending the same message to multiple recipients
* there is no failover mechanism across NICs - if the selected NIC (or its attached switch) fails, we are forced to abort
* only one transport (i.e., component) can be "active"
The revised OOB resolves these problems:
* async progress is used for all application processes, with the progress thread blocking in the event library
* each available TCP NIC is supported by its own TCP module. The ability to asynchronously progress each module independently is provided, but not enabled by default (a runtime MCA parameter turns it "on")
* multi-address TCP NICs (e.g., a NIC with both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, or with virtual interfaces) are supported - reachability is determined by comparing the contact info for a peer against all addresses within the range covered by the address/mask pairs for the NIC.
* a message that arrives on one TCP NIC is automatically shifted to whatever NIC that is connected to the next "hop" if that peer cannot be reached by the incoming NIC. If no TCP module will reach the peer, then the OOB attempts to send the message via all other available components - if none can reach the peer, then an "error" is reported back to the RML, which then calls the errmgr for instructions.
* opal_buffer_t now conforms to standard object rules re OBJ_RETAIN as we no longer "unload" the incoming object
* NIC failure is reported to the TCP component, which then tries to resend the message across any other available TCP NIC. If that doesn't work, then the message is given back to the OOB base to try using other components. If all that fails, then the error is reported to the RML, which reports to the errmgr for instructions
* obviously from the above, multiple OOB components (e.g., TCP and UD) can be active in parallel
* the matching code has been moved to the RML (and out of the OOB/TCP component) so it is independent of transport
* routing is done by the individual OOB modules (as opposed to the RML). Thus, both routed and non-routed transports can simultaneously be active
* all blocking send/recv APIs have been removed. Everything operates asynchronously.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
* although provision is made for component failover as described above, the code for doing so has not been fully implemented yet. At the moment, if all connections for a given peer fail, the errmgr is notified of a "lost connection", which by default results in termination of the job if it was a lifeline
* the IPv6 code is present and compiles, but is not complete. Since the current IPv6 support in the OOB doesn't work anyway, I don't consider this a blocker
* routing is performed at the individual module level, yet the active routed component is selected on a global basis. We probably should update that to reflect that different transports may need/choose to route in different ways
* obviously, not every error path has been tested nor necessarily covered
* determining abnormal termination is more challenging than in the old code as we now potentially have multiple ways of connecting to a process. Ideally, we would declare "connection failed" when *all* transports can no longer reach the process, but that requires some additional (possibly complex) code. For now, the code replicates the old behavior only somewhat modified - i.e., if a module sees its connection fail, it checks to see if it is a lifeline. If so, it notifies the errmgr that the lifeline is lost - otherwise, it notifies the errmgr that a non-lifeline connection was lost.
* reachability is determined solely on the basis of a shared subnet address/mask - more sophisticated algorithms (e.g., the one used in the tcp btl) are required to handle routing via gateways
* the RML needs to assign sequence numbers to each message on a per-peer basis. The receiving RML will then deliver messages in order, thus preventing out-of-order messaging in the case where messages travel across different transports or a message needs to be redirected/resent due to failure of a NIC

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().
opal: update core and components to mca_base_var system

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.
This commit was SVN r28236.
Reasoning: The old behavior was a little confusing. mca_base_components_open does not open an output stream so it is a little unexpected that mca_base_components_close does. To add to this several frameworks (that don't use mca_base_components_close) failed to close their output in the framework close function and others closed their output a second time. This change is an improvement to the symantics of mca_base_components_open/close as they are now symetric in their functionality.

nonzero status (we polled other MPI implementations since one one in
the OMPI community had a concrete opinion on what behavior to do here
-- all other MPI's seem to adhere to this behavior, too).
This commit adds an MCA parameter that allows us to tell ORTE to
''not'' kill jobs when a process exits with a status of 77, meaning
the GNU testing standard of "this test was skipped". In all the OMPI
tests, all procs will either return 77 or not. So if they all return
77, mpirun won't consider it an error, but will still return an exit
status of 77 (so that MTT can know that the test was cleanly skipped).

* Remove paffinity, maffinity, and carto frameworks -- they've been
wholly replaced by hwloc.
* Move ompi_mpi_init() affinity-setting/checking code down to ORTE.
* Update sm, smcuda, wv, and openib components to no longer use carto.
Instead, use hwloc data. There are still optimizations possible in
the sm/smcuda BTLs (i.e., making multiple mpools). Also, the old
carto-based code found out how many NUMA nodes were ''available''
-- not how many were used ''in this job''. The new hwloc-using
code computes the same value -- it was not updated to calculate how
many NUMA nodes are used ''by this job.''
* Note that I cannot compile the smcuda and wv BTLs -- I ''think''
they're right, but they need to be verified by their owners.
* The openib component now does a bunch of stuff to figure out where
"near" OpenFabrics devices are. '''THIS IS A CHANGE IN DEFAULT
BEHAVIOR!!''' and still needs to be verified by OpenFabrics vendors
(I do not have a NUMA machine with an OpenFabrics device that is a
non-uniform distance from multiple different NUMA nodes).
* Completely rewrite the OMPI_Affinity_str() routine from the
"affinity" mpiext extension. This extension now understands
hyperthreads; the output format of it has changed a bit to reflect
this new information.
* Bunches of minor changes around the code base to update names/types
from maffinity/paffinity-based names to hwloc-based names.
* Add some helper functions into the hwloc base, mainly having to do
with the fact that we have the hwloc data reporting ''all''
topology information, but sometimes you really only want the
(online | available) data.

Brian dealt with this in the past by creating platform files and using "no-build" to block the components. This was clunky, but acceptable when only one organization was using that option. However, that number has now expanded to at least two more locations.
Accordingly, make --without-rte-support actually work by adding appropriate configury to prevent components from building when they shouldn't. While doing so, remove two frameworks (db and rmcast) that are no longer used as ORCM comes to a close (besides, they belonged in ORCM now anyway). Do some minor cleanups along the way.

https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/ProcessPlacement
The wiki page is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to complete it over the next few days. I will provide updates on the devel list. As the wiki page states, the default and most commonly used options remain unchanged (except as noted below). New, esoteric and complex options have been added, but unless you are a true masochist, you are unlikely to use many of them beyond perhaps an initial curiosity-motivated experimentation.
In a nutshell, this commit revamps the map/rank/bind procedure to take into account topology info on the compute nodes. I have, for the most part, preserved the default behaviors, with three notable exceptions:
1. I have at long last bowed my head in submission to the system admin's of managed clusters. For years, they have complained about our default of allowing users to oversubscribe nodes - i.e., to run more processes on a node than allocated slots. Accordingly, I have modified the default behavior: if you are running off of hostfile/dash-host allocated nodes, then the default is to allow oversubscription. If you are running off of RM-allocated nodes, then the default is to NOT allow oversubscription. Flags to override these behaviors are provided, so this only affects the default behavior.
2. both cpus/rank and stride have been removed. The latter was demanded by those who didn't understand the purpose behind it - and I agreed as the users who requested it are no longer using it. The former was removed temporarily pending implementation.
3. vm launch is now the sole method for starting OMPI. It was just too darned hard to maintain multiple launch procedures - maybe someday, provided someone can demonstrate a reason to do so.
As Jeff stated, it is impossible to fully test a change of this size. I have tested it on Linux and Mac, covering all the default and simple options, singletons, and comm_spawn. That said, I'm sure others will find problems, so I'll be watching MTT results until this stabilizes.

Fix a termination issue that caused procs local to mpirun to not be killed if they weren't calling into the library. Thanks to Terry Dontje for spending countless hours chasing his tail on this one! :-(
This commit was SVN r25285.
To enable the epochs and the resilient orte code, use the configure flag:
--enable-resilient-orte
This will define both:
ORTE_ENABLE_EPOCH
ORTE_RESIL_ORTE
This commit was SVN r25093.
refactoring to improve readability and to compute num_procs_alive
correctly and to remove the use of loop iteration variables for
two loops nested one inside another (causing MPI_Comm_spawn_multiple
to fail).
This commit was SVN r24903.
Also, fix an error in mpirx debugger module - the pointer array object is the pointer to the object itself, not the object "super" like in an opal_list.
This commit was SVN r24894.
Over the course of time, usage of static ports got corrupted in several places, the "parent" info got incorrectly reset, etc. So correct all that and get the regex-based wireup going again.
Also, don't pass node lists if static ports aren't enabled - they are of no value to the orted and just create the possibility of overly-long cmd lines.
This commit was SVN r24860.
Everyone will be starting at MIN anyway (until we implement restart of course)
so there's no reason to set the epoch to INVALID and then immediately reset them
to MIN. This way there's less room to make mistakes later.
