6e5d844c36 Roll in the revamped IOF subsystem. Per the devel mailing list email, this is a complete rewrite of the iof framework designed to simplify the code for maintainability, and to support features we had planned to do, but were too difficult to implement in the old code. Specifically, the new code:
1. completely and cleanly separates responsibilities between the HNP, orted, and tool components.

2. removes all wireup messaging during launch and shutdown.

3. maintains flow control for stdin to avoid large-scale consumption of memory by orteds when large input files are forwarded. This is done using an xon/xoff protocol.

4. enables specification of stdin recipients on the mpirun cmd line. Allowed options include rank, "all", or "none". Default is rank 0.

5. creates a new MPI_Info key "ompi_stdin_target" that supports the above options for child jobs. Default is "none".

6. adds a new tool "orte-iof" that can connect to a running mpirun and display the output. Cmd line options allow selection of any combination of stdout, stderr, and stddiag. Default is stdout.

7. adds a new mpirun and orte-iof cmd line option "tag-output" that will tag each line of output with process name and stream ident. For example, "[1,0]<stdout>this is output"

This is not intended for the 1.3 release as it is a major change requiring considerable soak time.

48c3de1865 Fix a problem in the plm "failed to start" code observed by Jeff. When we are unable to launch to a specific node because it doesn't exist or is down, the system would hang and/or segv. The reason for the hang was that we were "firing" the orted exit trigger prior to its timer event being defined - thus "locking" that one-shot and preventing it from firing when we actually were ready to use it.
The segv was caused by the fact that we don't really know which daemon failed to start (at least, in most cases), so we didn't set a pointer to the aborted proc object. All we really wanted, though, was to ensure that mpirun returned a non-zero exit status, so the fix was to simply return the default error status.

38eb301919 Follow-on to r19457. Rather than have #ifs in the middle of functions
(which neither Ralph nor I liked), don't allow the functions we don't
need to be visible.  Still not happy about the number of #ifs in the
code, but splitting the code further would have been a nightmare
and this was a good cutting point.

Also protected some variables that were declared but not instanced
so that users would be notified at compile time instead of link or
run time (in the case of dss constants) that things wouldn't work.

30f37f762d Enable co-location of debugger daemons during initial launch and when debugging a running job.
Provide support for four MPIR extensions that allow specification of debugger daemon executable, argv for the debugger daemon, whether or not to forward debugger daemon IO, and whether or not debugger daemon will piggy-back on ORTE OOB network. Last is not yet implemented.

No change in behavior or operation occurs unless (a) the debugger specifically utilizes the extensions and, for co-locate while running, the user specifically enables the capability via an MCA param. Two of the MPIR extensions supported here are used in a widely-used debugger for a large-scale installation. The other two extensions are new and being utilized in prototype work by several debuggers for possible future release.

be02211b4f Modify the wakeup system to make it more Windows-friendly. This allows Shiqing to consolidate the Windows-specific modifications into one location, and generalizes the wakeup procedure in case we hit other system-specific requirements.
This needs some soak time to ensure we haven't opened any race conditions. I tried to loop everything in the shutdown procedure through that trigger event call to ensure it all goes through the one-time locks as it did before so that someone hitting ctrl-c when we are already shutting down shouldn't cause problems. Just want to let people use it for awhile to verify.

35a86b3347 Establish an MCA param "orte_allocation_required" so that a system can require the user have an RM-provided allocation in order to run. This helps prevent the problem where a user forgets to get an allocation on an RM-managed cluster, and then executes mpirun on the head node - thus causing all of their mpi procs to launch on the head node, usually bringing it to its knees.
Since OMPI allows mpirun to default to the local node, and since users want to retain the option to co-locate procs with mpirun, we needed another param to block this error case.

a62b2a0150 Per the July technical meeting:
Standardize the handling of the orte launch agent option across PLMs. This has been a consistent complaint I have received - each PLM would register its own MCA param to get input on the launch agent for remote nodes (in fact, one or two didn't, but most did). This would then get handled in various and contradictory ways.

Some PLMs would accept only a one-word input. Others accepted multi-word args such as "valgrind orted", but then some would error by putting any prefix specified on the cmd line in front of the incorrect argument.

For example, while using the rsh launcher, if you specified "valgrind orted" as your launch agent and had "--prefix foo" on you cmd line, you would attempt to execute "ssh foo/valgrind orted" - which obviously wouldn't work.

This was all -very- confusing to users, who had to know which PLM was being used so they could even set the right mca param in the first place! And since we don't warn about non-recognized or non-used mca params, half of the time they would wind up not doing what they thought they were telling us to do.

To solve this problem, we did the following:

1. removed all mca params from the individual plms for the launch agent

2. added a new mca param "orte_launch_agent" for this purpose. To further simplify for users, this comes with a new cmd line option "--launch-agent" that can take a multi-word string argument. The value of the param defaults to "orted".

3. added a PLM base function that processes the orte_launch_agent value and adds the contents to a provided argv array. This can subsequently be harvested at-will to handle multi-word values

4. modified the PLMs to use this new function. All the PLMs except for the rsh PLM required very minor change - just called the function and moved on. The rsh PLM required much larger changes as - because of the rsh/ssh cmd line limitations - we had to correctly prepend any provided prefix to the correct argv entry.

5. added a new opal_argv_join_range function that allows the caller to "join" argv entries between two specified indices

Please let me know of any problems. I tried to make this as clean as possible, but cannot compile all PLMs to ensure all is correct.

a1d296ae03 This commit fixes ticket #1410
Fix a few bugs in the mappers:

1. Ensure that bynode with no -np fills all available slots - it just does so with the ranks set bynode instead of byslot

2. fix --nolocal behavior so it works correctly in all cases. We still have to test the host's name using opal_ifislocal in the mapper because the name returned by gethostname to orte_process_info.hostname can be an FQDN, but a hostfile may contain a non-FQDN version.

3. Add missing --nolocal logic to the seq mapper

Oversubscribed mapping seemed to be working okay without repair, so I couldn't verify my own bug report in that regard.

Also included are some preliminary changes to support the modified hostfile behavior, which will be committed shortly:

1. removed the totally useless "allocate" field in the orte_node_t object since every node is automatically allocated for use - and everything ignored the field anyway

2. correctly initialize the slots_alloc field when the allocation is read

ba5498cdc6 Repair the MPI-2 dynamic operations. This includes:
1. repair of the linear and direct routed modules

2. repair of the ompi/pubsub/orte module to correctly init routes to the ompi-server, and correctly handle failure to correctly parse the provided ompi-server URI

3. modification of orterun to accept both "file" and "FILE" for designating where the ompi-server URI is to be found - purely a convenience feature

4. resolution of a message ordering problem during the connect/accept handshake that allowed the "send-first" proc to attempt to send to the "recv-first" proc before the HNP had actually updated its routes.

Let this be a further reminder to all - message ordering is NOT guaranteed in the OOB

5. Repair the ompi/dpm/orte module to correctly init routes during connect/accept.

Reminder to all: messages sent to procs in another job family (i.e., started by a different mpirun) are ALWAYS routed through the respective HNPs. As per the comments in orte/routed, this is REQUIRED to maintain connect/accept (where only the root proc on each side is capable of init'ing the routes), allow communication between mpirun's using different routing modules, and to minimize connections on tools such as ompi-server. It is all taken care of "under the covers" by the OOB to ensure that a route back to the sender is maintained, even when the different mpirun's are using different routed modules.

6. corrections in the orte/odls to ensure proper identification of daemons participating in a dynamic launch

7. corrections in build/nidmap to support update of an existing nidmap during dynamic launch

8. corrected implementation of the update_arch function in the ESS, along with consolidation of a number of ESS operations into base functions for easier maintenance. The ability to support info from multiple jobs was added, although we don't currently do so - this will come later to support further fault recovery strategies

9. minor updates to several functions to remove unnecessary and/or no longer used variables and envar's, add some debugging output, etc.

10. addition of a new macro ORTE_PROC_IS_DAEMON that resolves to true if the provided proc is a daemon

There is still more cleanup to be done for efficiency, but this at least works.

Tested on single-node Mac, multi-node SLURM via odin. Tests included connect/accept, publish/lookup/unpublish, comm_spawn, comm_spawn_multiple, and singleton comm_spawn.

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.

7bee71aa59 Fix a potential, albeit perhaps esoteric, race condition that can occur for fast HNP's, slow orteds, and fast apps. Under those conditions, it is possible for the orted to be caught in its original send of contact info back to the HNP, and thus for the progress stack never to recover back to a high level. In those circumstances, the orted can "hang" when trying to exit.
Add a new function to opal_progress that tells us our recursion depth to support that solution.

Yes, I know this sounds picky, but good ol' Jeff managed to make it happen by driving his cluster near to death...

Also ensure that we declare "failed" for the daemon job when daemons fail instead of the application job. This is important so that orte knows that it cannot use xcast to tell daemons to "exit", nor should it expect all daemons to respond. Otherwise, it is possible to hang.

After lots of testing, decide to default (again) to slurm detecting failed orteds. This proved necessary to avoid rather annoying hangs that were difficult to recover from. There are conditions where slurm will fail to launch all daemons (slurm folks are working on it), and yet again, good ol' Jeff managed to find both of them.

Thanks you Jeff! :-/

b456fb2d42 Upgrade the node/orted failure detection code to cover all environments. Use the native environment's capabilities where possible - e.g., SLURM detects orted failure and can report it. Elsewhere, use a heartbeat system to detect orted failure - e.g., for TM and rsh. Heart rate is set via mca param. The HNP checks for callback every 2*heartrate, declares orted failure if not seen in last 2*heartrate time.
Also detect orted failed-to-start by setting timeout on launch. Currently only used in TM launcher.

Neither detection is enabled by default, but are only active if heartrate is set and/or launch timeout is set. Exception for SLURM as orted failure is always detected and reported.

72530f8fed Cleanly handle the failed start of an orted, or its unexpected failure after start. This commit will allow mpirun to exit cleanly when this occurs, and does a best-effort attempt to cleanup the mess. However, it still has two unresolved issues that need to be eventually addressed:
1. it depends upon the ability of the native environment to alert us that the orted has died/failed to start. I have included that support for SLURM, but other environments need to be done.

2. for some yet-to-be-determined reason, the message that tells the remaining daemons to "die" isn't getting out of the RML, even though no obvious blockage is standing in the way. Work will continue on resolving that problem. For now, the orteds appear to be exiting on their own quite nicely when they see their HNP "lifeline" disappear.

This represents the best-available fix for ticket #221 so I am closing that ticket at this time.

828ae26d90 ORTE-level MCA params are defined in several places. Ompi_info cannot call orte_init due to an issue with the memory allocator, thus making it impossible for ompi_info to display all of the ORTE-level MCA params.
By consolidating them all into one function, ompi_info can call that function and register the desired variables. This also requires, however, that ompi_info call orte_output_init to avoid generating tons of error messages, so make that adjustment too. 

Fixes ticket #1314

In addition, orte_output has a race condition issue whereby calls to orte_output/verbose can occur prior to either the RML being defined/setup, or the HNP being defined. This latter occurs during the initialization of the orte_process_info structure. In both cases, there is no way orte_output can send the output to the HNP. Hence, the message must be simply output locally.

e7ecd56bd2 This commit represents a bunch of work on a Mercurial side branch. As
such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly
long.

= 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.

b2c73f6e11 Fix tree-spawn to work within the new modex system

3e55fe6f6d Fold in the revised modex scheme. Move the ompi_proc_t modex portions to the RTE level since the daemons already have that info. Provide each process with the equivalent of a "nidmap" - both a map of what nodes are in the job, and a map of which node each process is on. This enables the use of static ports, though that hasn't been turned "on" in this commit.
Update the rsh tree spawn capability so we spawn the next wave of daemons before launching our own local procs.

Add an ability to encode nodenames for large clusters with contiguous node name numbering schemes - this allows communication of all node names in a few bytes instead of tens-of-bytes/node.
