bc55276844 osc/rdma: fix bug in the active message code that could cause erroneous
results

The code to handle completion messages did not correctly increment the
number of expected messages. This could cause wait to return before all
incoming messages are complete.

I also added a check to ensure that start returns an error if we are in
a passive access epoch.

0ed44f2fdb osc/rdma: add support for datatypes with large descriptions
This commit adds large datatype description support to the osc/rdma
component. Support is provided by an additional send/recv of the datatype
description if the description does not fit in an eager buffer. The
code is designed to require minimal new code and not for speed. We
consider this code path to be a slow path.

1fc9a55d08 osc/rdma: do not use MPI_SOURCE to determine the peer in an send operation.
This fixes a bug in r31029 which removes the use of the pml base request
(also not a good way since cm doesn't use the base request). We now allocate
a data structure (ugh) to determine the needed information. Tested with
mtt/onesided.

29e00f9161 osc/rdma: fix issues with mpi_leave_pinned when using rdma capable btls
It seems we can't release accumulate buffers in completion callbacks
because the btls don't release registration resources until after the
callback has fired. The fix is to keep track of the unused buffers and
free them later. This should resolve issues when running IMB-EXT and
IMB-RMA.

5df8cd75a9 osc/rdma: ensure fragment headers and the packed datatype are 8-byte aligned.
The datatype unpacking code assumes that the packed datatype buffer has the
same alignment as an OPAL_PTRDIFF_TYPE. This was not enforced by the rdma
one-sided component. I changed the ordering and sized of various osc/rdma
headers to ensure their sizes are a multiple of 8-bytes and modified the
fragment allocation call to ensure all headers are 8-byte aligned. While
not the cleanest way to handle this situation it should resolve the issue.

b04a2339c5 Fix segmentation fault when osc_rdma is used with pml_cm: osc_rdma
assumes the send request is derived from mca_pml_base_send_request_t,
but this is not true for pml cm, so we end up freeing invalid pointer.
 We cannot take the data pointer from the pml send request, so we pass 
the allocated buffer pointer in req_complete_cb_data, and put the 
osc_rdma_module pointer in that buffer as well.
 Previously, osc_pt2pt was used with pml_cm which didn't have this 
problem.

Notes:
  - This commit also eliminates the need for an available components list in use
    in several frameworks. None of the code in question was making use of the
    priority field of the priority component list item so these extra lists were
    removed.
  - Cleaned up selection code in several frameworks to sort lists using opal_list_sort.
  - Cleans up the ompi/orte-info functions. Expose the functions that construct the
    list of params so they can be used elsewhere.

6c5532072a - Split the datatype engine into two parts: an MPI specific part in
OMPI
   and a language agnostic part in OPAL. The convertor is completely
   moved into OPAL.  This offers several benefits as described in RFC
   http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2009/07/6387.php
   namely:
    - Fewer basic types (int* and float* types, boolean and wchar
    - Fixing naming scheme to ompi-nomenclature.
    - Usability outside of the ompi-layer.
 - Due to the fixed nature of simple opal types, their information is
   completely
   known at compile time and therefore constified
 - With fewer datatypes (22), the actual sizes of bit-field types may be
   reduced
   from 64 to 32 bits, allowing reorganizing the opal_datatype
   structure, eliminating holes and keeping data required in convertor
   (upon send/recv) in one cacheline...
   This has implications to the convertor-datastructure and other parts
   of the code.
 - Several performance tests have been run, the netpipe latency does not
   change with
   this patch on Linux/x86-64 on the smoky cluster.
 - Extensive tests have been done to verify correctness (no new
   regressions) using:
   1. mpi_test_suite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and
    ompi-ddt:
    a. running both trunk and ompi-ddt resulted in no differences
       (except for MPI_SHORT_INT and MPI_TYPE_MIX_LB_UB do now run
       correctly).
    b. with --enable-memchecker and running under valgrind (one buglet
       when run with static found in test-suite, commited)
   2. ibm testsuite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and ompi-ddt:
      all passed (except for the dynamic/ tests failed!! as trunk/MTT)
   3. compilation and usage of HDF5 tests on Jaguar using PGI and
      PathScale compilers.
   4. compilation and usage on Scicortex.
 - Please note, that for the heterogeneous case, (-m32 compiled
   binaries/ompi), neither
   ompi-trunk, nor ompi-ddt branch would successfully launch.

00d24bf8ab Scalability patch, or slim-fast effect #1. All BML structures just
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.

9613b3176c Effectively revert the orte_output system and return to direct use of opal_output at all levels. Retain the orte_show_help subsystem to allow aggregation of show_help messages at the HNP.
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.

e361bcb64c Send optimizations.
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.

fa082cafa9 Shift the architecture calculation from the ompi/datatype engine to the opal/util area. This allows us to compute the architecture earlier in the launch and communicate it outside of the modex.
Note: this is an early preliminary step in the movement of portions of the datatype engine to the opal layer.

e2e211f23b Add flags parameter to btl_alloc() and btl_prepare_src() functions. If BTL
knows at the time of allocation priority of a descriptor it may do some
optimizations.

3401bd2b07 Add optional ordering to the BTL interface.
This is required to tighten up the BTL semantics. Ordering is not guaranteed,
but, if the BTL returns a order tag in a descriptor (other than
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER) then we may request another descriptor that will obey
ordering w.r.t. to the other descriptor.


This will allow sane behavior for RDMA networks, where local completion of an
RDMA operation on the active side does not imply remote completion on the
passive side. If we send a FIN message after local completion and the FIN is
not ordered w.r.t. the RDMA operation then badness may occur as the passive
side may now try to deregister the memory and the RDMA operation may still be
pending on the passive side. 

Note that this has no impact on networks that don't suffer from this
limitation as the ORDER tag can simply always be specified as
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER.
