Add a framework to support different types of threading models including
user space thread packages such as Qthreads and argobot:
https://github.com/pmodels/argobotshttps://github.com/Qthreads/qthreads
The default threading model is pthreads. Alternate thread models are
specificed at configure time using the --with-threads=X option.
The framework is static. The theading model to use is selected at
Open MPI configure/build time.
mca/threads: implement Argobots threading layer
config: fix thread configury
- Add double quotations
- Change Argobot to Argobots
config: implement Argobots check
If the poll time is too long, MPI hangs.
This quick fix just sets it to 0, but it is not good for the
Pthreads version. Need to find a good way to abstract it.
Note that even 1 (= 1 millisecond) causes disastrous performance
degradation.
rework threads MCA framework configury
It now works more like the ompi/mca/rte configury,
modulo some edge items that are special for threading package
linking, etc.
qthreads module
some argobots cleanup

This commit updates the entire codebase to use specific opal types for
all atomic variables. This is a change from the prior atomic support
which required the use of the volatile keyword. This is the first step
towards implementing support for C11 atomics as that interface
requires the use of types declared with the _Atomic keyword.

This commit replaces the current VMA tree implementation with one that
uses the new opal_interval_tree_t class. Since the VMA tree lock is no
longer used this commit also updates rcache/grdma and btl/vader to
take better care when searching for existing registrations.

This commit rewrites both the mpool and rcache frameworks. Summary of
changes:
- Before this change a significant portion of the rcache
functionality lived in mpool components. This meant that it was
impossible to add a new memory pool to use with rdma networks
(ugni, openib, etc) without duplicating the functionality of an
existing mpool component. All the registration functionality has
been removed from the mpool and placed in the rcache framework.
- All registration cache mpools components (udreg, grdma, gpusm,
rgpusm) have been changed to rcache components. rcaches are
allocated and released in the same way mpool components were.
- It is now valid to pass NULL as the resources argument when
creating an rcache. At this time the gpusm and rgpusm components
support this. All other rcache components require non-NULL
resources.
- A new mpool component has been added: hugepage. This component
supports huge page allocations on linux.
- Memory pools are now allocated using "hints". Each mpool component
is queried with the hints and returns a priority. The current hints
supported are NULL (uses posix_memalign/malloc), page_size=x (huge
page mpool), and mpool=x.
- The sm mpool has been moved to common/sm. This reflects that the sm
mpool is specialized and not meant for any general
allocations. This mpool may be moved back into the mpool framework
if there is any objection.
- The opal_free_list_init arguments have been updated. The unused0
argument is not used to pass in the registration cache module. The
mpool registration flags are now rcache registration flags.
- All components have been updated to make use of the new framework
interfaces.
As this commit makes significant changes to both the mpool and rcache
frameworks both versions have been bumped to 3.0.0.

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.

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.
