that enabling "local_only" by default could cause excessive
by-NUMA-node paging and/or OOMs (rather than allowing memory
allocations to spill over to other NUMA nodes).
This brought home the very real-world example of people buying servers
with more processors/cores than they need, just to get more memory.
We wouldn't want Badness to occur in such scenarios by default.
Instead, let people turn on "only allow memory allocations on my local
NUMA node" if their application would benefit from it.
This commit was SVN r24648.
After a long period of development with many starts and stops, we
finally got this where we wanted it.
This commit introduces 2 new MCA params (note that the
"maffinity_libnuma_policy" MCA param introduced by r24290 was removed
when libnuma support was removed). Remember that maffinity policies
are only in effect when paffinity is enaabled -- i.e., when processes
are bound to processors!
* '''maffinity_base_alloc_policy:''' Policy that determines how
general memory allocations are bound after MPI_INIT. A value of
"none" means that no memory policy is applied. A value of
"local_only" means that all memory allocations will be restricted
to the local NUMA node where each process is placed. Note that
operating system paging policies are unaffected by this setting.
For example, if "local_only" is used and local NUMA node memory is
exhausted, a new memory allocation may cause paging.
* '''maffinity_base_bind_failure_action:''' What Open MPI will do if
it explicitly tries to bind memory to a specific NUMA location, and
fails. Note that this is a different case than the general
allocation policy described by maffinity_base_alloc_policy. A
value of "warn" means that Open MPI will warn the first time this
happens, but allow the job to continue (possibly with degraded
performance). A value of "error" means that Open MPI will abort
the job if this happens.
This needs at least a little soak time on the trunk before going to
v1.5.

Nth core, so it fell over to try to find the Nth PU.
-----
hwloc isn't able to find cores on all platforms. Example: PPC64
running RHEL 5.4 (linux kernel 2.6.18) only reports NUMA nodes and
PU's. Fine.
However, note that hwloc_get_obj_by_type() will return NULL in 2
(effectively) different cases:
- no objects of the requested type were found
- the Nth object of the requested type was not found
So first we have to see if we can find *any* cores by looking for the
0th core. If we find it, then try to find the Nth core. Otherwise,
try to find the Nth PU.

Temporarily remove hwloc's internal version of myriexpress.h. It is
causing a problem when compiling Open MPI with MX support because
hwloc uses AC_CONFIG_HEADER in hwloc's hwloc.m4 to generate
opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc/include/hwloc/config.h.
AC_CONFIG_HEADER apparently has the (undocumented) side effect of
adding -I$(top_builddir)/opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc/include/hwloc
to OMPI's compilation flags. Hence, when the OMPI MX components are
compiled and #include "myriexpress.h" (or <myriexpress.h>) they see
hwloc's myriexpress.h before the system one. Badness ensures.
This removal is temporary because we need to figure out a better
solution. But for now, OMPI is not using hwloc's myriexpress.h file --
so it's safe to remove. I'll push this issue upstream to hwloc to
figure out a better solution...

Short Version:
--------------
Event engine needs to be flushed so it does not use old/stale file descriptors.
Long Version:
-------------
The problem was that the restarted process was waiting for the socket to the local daemon to finish establishing during the 'sync' operation. The core problem was that the daemon was sending a header of 36 bytes, but the restarted process only received 35 bytes of the message. So the restarted process became stuck waiting for the last byte to arrive.
After many hours of digging, I figured out that the event engine was using the same file descriptor for its evsig_cb functionality (to signal itself when a signal arrives). So when the daemon wrote in to the new fd the event engine was stealing the first byte (*shakes fist at event engine*) before the recv() could be posted.
The solution is to use the event_reinit() function on restart to re-establish the now-stale file descriptors in the event engine. This seems to have fixed the problem.
A few other minor things:
-------------------------
* Add a check to make sure the event engine is balanced in its init/finalize
* Add the opal_event_base_close() to the BLCR restart exec function (still not 100% sure it is needed, but there it is).

libevent creates its event-config.h during "make all" (vs. during
configure). The prior method around this didn't work because it wrote
an event-config.h.in in the source tree -- a Bad Idea(tm). The new
way uses AC_CONFIG_COMMAND to get stuff executed at the end of
config.status to create event-config.h. This seems to work properly
during make distcheck.

Forgive the mid-day configure change, but I know Shiqing is working the windows issues and don't want to cause him unnecessary redo work.
This commit was SVN r23966.
After talking with Brian, we're pretty sure that this is only because
really, really old libevent didn't allow bitwise or-ing of the other
loop types, because what we really need is (EVLOOP_ONCE |
EVLOOP_NONBLOCK). And that's what EVLOOP_ONELOOP did (i.e., we
changed the logic of libevent's event.c to let ONELOOP do both ONCE
and NONBLOCK things).
In the new libevent version, we didn't implement EVLOOP_ONELOOP
properly. As a result, and we got hangs in the SM BTL add_procs
function. Note that the SM BTL wasn't to blame -- it was purely a
side-effect of bad ONELOOP integration (i.e., if you got past the SM
BTL add_procs, you may well have hung somewhere else).
This commit removes all ONELOOP customizations from event.c and
returns it to (almost) its original state from the libevent 2.0.7-rc
distribution. Everwhere in the code base where we used ONELOOP, we
now use (ONCE | NONBLOCK).
This commit was SVN r23957.
Setup the event API to support multiple bases in preparation for splitting the OMPI and ORTE events. Holding here pending shared memory resolution.
This commit was SVN r23943.
This is a fairly intrusive change, but outside of the moving of opal/event to opal/mca/event, the only changes involved (a) changing all calls to opal_event functions to reflect the new framework instead, and (b) ensuring that all opal_event_t objects are properly constructed since they are now true opal_objects.
Note: Shiqing has just returned from vacation and has not yet had a chance to complete the Windows integration. Thus, this commit almost certainly breaks Windows support on the trunk. However, I want this to have a chance to soak for as long as possible before I become less available a week from today (going to be at a class for 5 days, and thus will only be sparingly available) so we can find and fix any problems.
Biggest change is moving the libevent code from opal/event to a new opal/mca/event framework. This was done to make it much easier to update libevent in the future. New versions can be inserted as a new component and tested in parallel with the current version until validated, then we can remove the earlier version if we so choose. This is a statically built framework ala installdirs, so only one component will build at a time. There is no selection logic - the sole compiled component simply loads its function pointers into the opal_event struct.
I have gone thru the code base and converted all the libevent calls I could find. However, I cannot compile nor test every environment. It is therefore quite likely that errors remain in the system. Please keep an eye open for two things:
1. compile-time errors: these will be obvious as calls to the old functions (e.g., opal_evtimer_new) must be replaced by the new framework APIs (e.g., opal_event.evtimer_new)
2. run-time errors: these will likely show up as segfaults due to missing constructors on opal_event_t objects. It appears that it became a typical practice for people to "init" an opal_event_t by simply using memset to zero it out. This will no longer work - you must either OBJ_NEW or OBJ_CONSTRUCT an opal_event_t. I tried to catch these cases, but may have missed some. Believe me, you'll know when you hit it.
There is also the issue of the new libevent "no recursion" behavior. As I described on a recent email, we will have to discuss this and figure out what, if anything, we need to do.

* Added Compression (compress) framework to support
* Add two new ErrMgr recovery policies
* {{{crmig}}} C/R Process Migration
* {{{autor}}} C/R Automatic Recovery
* Added the {{{ompi-migrate}}} command line tool to support the {{{crmig}}} ErrMgr component

* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_checkpoint_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_restart_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_continue_callback}}}
* The ErrMgr predicted_fault() interface has been changed to take an opal_list_t of ErrMgr defined types. This will allow us to better support a wider range of fault prediction services in the future.
* Add a progress meter to:
* FileM rsh (filem_rsh_process_meter)
* SnapC full (snapc_full_progress_meter)
* SStore stage (sstore_stage_progress_meter)
* Added 2 new command line options to ompi-restart

* Deprecated some MCA params:
* crs_base_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_stage_local_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_shared deprecated, use sstore_stage_global_is_shared
* snapc_base_store_in_place deprecated, replaced with different components of SStore
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_ref deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_ref
* snapc_base_establish_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, never well supported
* snapc_full_skip_filem deprecated, use sstore_stage_skip_filem
Minor Changes:
--------------
* Fixes trac:1924 : {{{ompi-restart}}} now recognizes path prefixed checkpoint handles and does the right thing.
* Fixes trac:2097 : {{{ompi-info}}} should now report all available CRS components
* Fixes trac:2161 : Manual checkpoint movement. A user can 'mv' a checkpoint directory from the original location to another and still restart from it.
* Fixes trac:2208 : Honor various TMPDIR varaibles instead of forcing {{{/tmp}}}
* Move {{{ompi_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to {{{orte_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to be more flexible in where this should be set.
* opal_crs_base_metadata_write* functions have been moved to SStore to support a wider range of metadata handling functionality.
* Cleanup the CRS framework and components to work with the SStore framework.
* Cleanup the SnapC framework and components to work with the SStore framework (cleans up these code paths considerably).
* Add 'quiesce' hook to CRCP for a future enhancement.
* We now require a BLCR version that supports {{{cr_request_file()}}} or {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}} in order to make the code more maintainable. Note that {{{cr_request_file}}} has been deprecated since 0.7.0, so we prefer to use {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}}.
* Add optional application level INC callbacks (registered through the CR MPI Ext interface).
* Increase the {{{opal_cr_thread_sleep_wait}}} parameter to 1000 microseconds to make the C/R thread less aggressive.
* {{{opal-restart}}} now looks for cache directories before falling back on stable storage when asked.
* {{{opal-restart}}} also support local decompression before restarting
* {{{orte-checkpoint}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* {{{orte-restart}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* Remove the {{{orte-restart}}} preload option. This was removed since the user only needs to select the 'stage' component in order to support this functionality.
* Since the '-am' parameter is saved in the metadata, {{{ompi-restart}}} no longer hard codes {{{-am ft-enable-cr}}}.
* Fix {{{hnp}}} ErrMgr so that if a previous component in the stack has 'fixed' the problem, then it should be skipped.
* Make sure to decrement the number of 'num_local_procs' in the orted when one goes away.
* odls now checks the SStore framework to see if it needs to load any checkpoint files before launching (to support 'stage'). This separates the SStore logic from the --preload-[binary|files] options.
* Add unique IDs to the named pipes established between the orted and the app in SnapC. This is to better support migration and automatic recovery activities.
* Improve the checks for 'already checkpointing' error path.
* A a recovery output timer, to show how long it takes to restart a job
* Do a better job of cleaning up the old session directory on restart.
* Add a local module to the autor and crmig ErrMgr components. These small modules prevent the 'orted' component from attempting a local recovery (Which does not work for MPI apps at the moment)
* Add a fix for bounding the checkpointable region between MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.

variable was set, it was prefixed to ''all'' values in the wrapper
compiler data text files. For example, if OPAL_DESTDIR was set to
/tmp/bogus and a wrapper compiler data file contained the line:
preprocessor_flags=-pthread
The value would be exanded to:
/tmp/bogus/-pthread
Which is clearly wrong. After some back-and-forth with Ralph and
Brian, Brian submitted this patch that fixes the problem. Now we
handle three cases properly (assume that configure was invoked with
--prefix=/opt/openmpi and no other directory specifications, and
$OPAL_DESTDIR is set to /tmp/buildroot):
1. Individual directories, such as libdir. These need to be prepended
with DESTDIR. I.e., return /tmp/buildroot/opt/openmpi/lib.
2. Compiler flags that have ${FIELD} values embedded in them. For
example, consider if a wrapper compiler data file contains the
line:
preprocessor_flags=-DMYFLAG="${prefix}/share/randomthingy/"
The value we should return is:
-DMYFLAG="/tmp/buildroot/opt/openmpi/share/randomthingy/"
3. Compiler flags that do not have any ${FIELD} values. For example,
consider if a wrapper compiler data file contains the line:
preprocessor_flags=-pthread
The value we should return is:
-pthread
Note, too, that this OPAL_DESTDIR futzing only needs to occur during
opal_init(). By the time opal_init() has completed, all values should
be substituted in that need substituting. Hence, we take an extra
parameter (is_setup) to know whether we should do this futzing or
not.

* Remove OPAL_ERR_PAFFINITY_NOT_SUPPORTED; fit it into the generic
OPAL_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED case.
* When odls_default detects that processor affinity is not supported,
it prints a specific message about it, and then it suppressed a
generic HNP help message that would normally follow it (i.e., it's
easier to have the "processor affinity is not supported" show_help
message last).
* Use some symbolic names in odls_default instead of fixed int's,
just for slight readability improvements in the code.
* Introduce orte_show_help_suppress(), which gives the ability to
suppress any future showings of any arbitrary show_help() message.
This is useful if you display message X and want to suppress
message Y. This suppression *only* works in environments where
orte_show_help() does coalescing.

case someone invokes autogen.sh on a distribution tarball).
This commit was SVN r23218.
* If < 0, it's an OPAL_ERR_* value
* If >= 0, it's the actual output value of the function
This is problematic for the OPAL_SOS stuff. This commit changes those
functions to always return OPAL_* statuses and send the output value
back through output parameters (like 95% of the rest of the code
base). This avoids the confusion with OPAL_SOS stuff and makes
paffinity work again (e.g., mpirun --bind-to-core ...).
I updated all paffinitiy modules for the new function signatures, and
bumped the paffinity API version up to 2.0.1. I don't think the
version change will matter, though, because we'll be introducing
support for hardware threads soon, which will either bump the
paffinity version again or we'll replace paffinity with
a new framework.
This commit was SVN r23197.
The fix is to just check if the return value is positive or not, since all the SOS encoded errors are *always* negative.
The real fix (as Ralph points out) is to change these functions (opal_pointer_array_add and mca_base_param*) to return the index as a pointer.
This commit was SVN r23173.
(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.

supports a wide variety of operating systems and platforms; see the
opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc/README file for details.
This component includes an embedded copy of hwloc, currently based on
hwloc-1.0rc6. But note that hwloc is properly SVN imported into the
/vendor branch, so it will be easy to update when 1.0 GA is released.
Note that the hwloc tree embedded in opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc is
identical to a hwloc distribution tarball, except that much of the
documentation was rm -rf'ed (because we don't need it for the embedded
case).
Since the paffinity framework currently does not understand hardware
threads, the hwloc component compensates for this by identifying cores
by the "first" hardware thread on that core. Hopefully we'll update
paffinity someday to understand hardware threads. :-)
configure grew a --with-hwloc option, analogous to what we do for many
other external libraries that OMPI supports. However, there's a new
feature: due to the request of several distros, OMPI can be configured
to build with its internal copy of hwloc or with an external copy of
hwloc (e.g., a system-installed hwloc).
1. If --with-hwloc is not specified, Open MPI will try to use its
internal copy (but silently fail/ignore hwloc if that fails).
1. If --with-hwloc=<dir> is supplied, Open MPI looks for hwloc
support in <dir> (and --with-hwloc-libdir=<dir>, if specified).
1. If --with-hwloc=external is supplied, Open MPI will look for hwloc
in a compiler/linker default external location.
1. If --with-hwloc=internal is supplied, Open MPI will use its
internal copy of hwloc.
Some of OMPI's main configury had to be slightly re-arranged in the
bootstrapping phase to accomodate hwloc's configry needs.

* Remove the ptmalloc memory component; replace it with a new "linux"
memory component.
* The linux memory component will conditionally compile in support
for ummunotify. At run-time, if it has ummunotify support and
finds run-time support for ummunotify (i.e., /dev/ummunotify), it
uses it. If not, it tries to use ptmalloc via the glibc memory
hooks.
* Add some more API functions to the memory framework to accomodate
the ummunotify model (i.e., poll to see if memory has "changed").
* Add appropriate calls in the rcache to the new memory APIs to see
if memory has changed, and to react accordingly.
* Add a few comments in the openib BTL to indicate why we don't need
to notify the OPAL memory framework about specific instances of
registered memory.
* Add dummy API calls in the solaris malloc component (since it
doesn't have polling/"did memory change" support).

It is okay to not have a paffinity module IF you aren't using paffinity anyway. So don't error out of MPI_Init because a paffinity module wasn't selected.
Cleanup error reporting in the odls default module to (once and for all!) eliminate messages originating in the fork'd process. Create some new error codes to allow us to pass enough info back to the parent process to provide useful error messages.

done this way a long time ago for the "gee whiz!" factor -- when in
reality, they really only need one-of-many-run-time priority
selection).
Changed run-time priorities to be as follows:
* darwin: 20
* linux: 20
* posix: 10
* solaris: 30
* test: 5
* windows: 20
I have a very dim (possibly untrue) recollection that Solaris needs to
have a higher priority than others just to ensure that no other is
chosen under Solaris. Make all other "native" components have a
priority of 20 (they shouldn't conflict with each other). Make the
posix fallback component have a priority of 10. Make the test
component priority 5, meaning someone can always select it, but you
can also make a "never select me" component that prioritizes itself
under test.

modify the OPAL_PAFFINITY_PROCESS_IS_BOUND macro to search the cpuset for
the maximum possible number of cpus rather than just the number of cpus
currently online. This corrects a problem where mpi_paffinity_alone was
not working properly on systems in which there can be cpu namespaces with
holes, such as on ppc64 with smt off (as discussed in #2365).
