daeb9b6c4f Some more cleanups. Remove direct references to ORTE by changing OMPI_CAST_ORTE_NAME -> OMPI_CAST_RTE_NAME. Ensure that ORTE tools (mpirun, orted, tools) set the OPAL proc structure fields so OPAL knows what is going on and uses the correct print functions (still need to fix the problem for non-MPI apps). Properly return uint32_t from the opal utilities instead of int32_t as that is what the ORTE process name fields contain.
Thanks to Gilles for pointing out some of the discrepancies.

a200e4f865 As per the RFC, bring in the ORTE async progress code and the rewrite of OOB:
*** 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

83d69b6c95 Enable the ORTE progress thread for apps (not needed in the tools as they already continuously loop in the event lib). This appears to be working, at least for MPI apps that only use shared memory (a simple "hello"). More testing is required to identify where problems will occur - this is only intended to allow further development.
In order to use the progress thread, you must configure with:

--enable-orte-progress-threads --enable-event-thread-support

2ba10c37fe Per RFC, bring in the following changes:
* 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.

b42ccc89b8 Although this didn't solve the earlier termination problem, the code will be required once we get connection terminations properly detected. If a daemon (or HNP) is trying to terminate, then we need to check for termination conditions whenever a route is lost - when all child connections are gone, then we are free to finalize.

afbe3e99c6 * Wrap all the direct error-code checks of the form (OMPI_ERR_* == ret) with
(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.

efbb5c9b7c Revamp the errmgr framework to provide a greater range of optional behaviors, including different behaviors for daemons, and remove several looping messages across the code base:
* add hnp and orted modules to the errmgr framework. The HNP module contains much of the code that was in the errmgr base since that code could only be executed by the HNP anyway.

* update the odls to report process states directly into the active errmgr module, thus removing the need to send messages looped back into the odls cmd processor. Let the active errmgr module decide what to do at various states.

* remove the code to track application state progress from the plm_base_launch_support.c code. Update the plm modules to call the errmgr directly when a launch fails.

* update the plm_base_receive.c code to call the errmgr with state updates from remote daemons

* update the routed modules to reflect that process state is updated in the errmgr

* ensure that the orted's open the errmgr and select their appropriate module

* add new pretty-print utilities to print process and job state. Move the pretty-print of time info to a globally-accessible place

* define a global orte_comm function to send messages from orted's to the HNP so that others can overlay the standard RML methods, if desired.

* update the orterun help output to reflect that the "term w/o sync" error message can result from three, not two, scenarios

16b100219d A patch from UTK to allow orte_init(), opal_init(), and associated
friends also receive &argc and &argv (George asked Jeff to Ralph to
review before committing).  The thought is that passing argv and argc
to opal/orte_init be useful to other projects outside of OMPI that are
using OPAL and/or ORTE (especially in conjunction with some other
bootstrapping code where it is helpful to modify argv).  It's such a
small thing that it's easy to apply here to make others' lives a
little easier.

Ask George for more details; I'm just the messenger.  :-)

Judging by the copyrights on this patch, it's been around for a
while.  :-)

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.

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.

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.

dc7f45dafd Remove the obsolete and largely unused orte_system_info structure. The only fields that were used in that struct were nodeid and nodename - these have been transferred to the orte_process_info structure.
Only one place used the user name field - session_dir, when formulating the name of the top-level directory. Accordingly, the code for getting the user's id has been moved to the session_dir code.

629b95a2fe Afraid this has a couple of things mixed into the commit. Couldn't be helped - had missed one commit prior to running out the door on vacation.
Fix race conditions in abnormal terminations. We had done a first-cut at this in a prior commit. However, the window remained partially open due to the fact that the HNP has multiple paths leading to orte_finalize. Most of our frameworks don't care if they are finalized more than once, but one of them does, which meant we segfaulted if orte_finalize got called more than once. Besides, we really shouldn't be doing that anyway.

So we now introduce a set of atomic locks that prevent us from multiply calling abort, attempting to call orte_finalize, etc. My initial tests indicate this is working cleanly, but since it is a race condition issue, more testing will have to be done before we know for sure that this problem has been licked.

Also, some updates relevant to the tool comm library snuck in here. Since those also touched the orted code (as did the prior changes), I didn't want to attempt to separate them out - besides, they are coming in soon anyway. More on them later as that functionality approaches completion.

005652c9d4 * Embed ident strings into the Open MPI libraries using one of the following
methods (in order of precedence):
  1. #pragma ident <ident string> (e.g., Intel and Sun)
  1. #ident <ident string> (e.g., GCC)
  1. static const char ident[] = <ident string> (all others)
By default, the ident string used is the standard Open MPI version string. Only
the following libraries will get the embedded version strings (e.g., DSOs will
not):
  * libmpi.so
  * libmpi_cxx.so
  * libmpi_f77.so
  * libopen-pal.so
  * libopen-rte.so
* Added two new configure options:
  * `--with-package-name="STRING"` (defaults to "Open MPI username@hostname
    Distribution"). `STRING` is displayed by `ompi_info` next to the "Package"
    heading.
  * `--with-ident-string="STRING"` (defaults to the standard Open MPI version
    string - e.g., X.Y.Zr######). `%VERSION%` will expand to the Open MPI
    version string if it is supplied to this configure option.

54b2cf747e These changes were mostly captured in a prior RFC (except for #2 below) and are aimed specifically at improving startup performance and setting up the remaining modifications described in that RFC.
The commit has been tested for C/R and Cray operations, and on Odin (SLURM, rsh) and RoadRunner (TM). I tried to update all environments, but obviously could not test them. I know that Windows needs some work, and have highlighted what is know to be needed in the odls process component.

This represents a lot of work by Brian, Tim P, Josh, and myself, with much advice from Jeff and others. For posterity, I have appended a copy of the email describing the work that was done:

As we have repeatedly noted, the modex operation in MPI_Init is the single greatest consumer of time during startup. To-date, we have executed that operation as an ORTE stage gate that held the process until a startup message containing all required modex (and OOB contact info - see #3 below) info could be sent to it. Each process would send its data to the HNP's registry, which assembled and sent the message when all processes had reported in.

In addition, ORTE had taken responsibility for monitoring process status as it progressed through a series of "stage gates". The process reported its status at each gate, and ORTE would then send a "release" message once all procs had reported in.

The incoming changes revamp these procedures in three ways:

1. eliminating the ORTE stage gate system and cleanly delineating responsibility between the OMPI and ORTE layers for MPI init/finalize. The modex stage gate (STG1) has been replaced by a collective operation in the modex itself that performs an allgather on the required modex info. The allgather is implemented using the orte_grpcomm framework since the BTL's are not active at that point. At the moment, the grpcomm framework only has a "basic" component analogous to OMPI's "basic" coll framework - I would recommend that the MPI team create additional, more advanced components to improve performance of this step.

The other stage gates have been replaced by orte_grpcomm barrier functions. We tried to use MPI barriers instead (since the BTL's are active at that point), but - as we discussed on the telecon - these are not currently true barriers so the job would hang when we fell through while messages were still in process. Note that the grpcomm barrier doesn't actually resolve that problem, but Brian has pointed out that we are unlikely to ever see it violated. Again, you might want to spend a little time on an advanced barrier algorithm as the one in "basic" is very simplistic.

Summarizing this change: ORTE no longer tracks process state nor has direct responsibility for synchronizing jobs. This is now done via collective operations within the MPI layer, albeit using ORTE collective communication services. I -strongly- urge the MPI team to implement advanced collective algorithms to improve the performance of this critical procedure.


2. reducing the volume of data exchanged during modex. Data in the modex consisted of the process name, the name of the node where that process is located (expressed as a string), plus a string representation of all contact info. The nodename was required in order for the modex to determine if the process was local or not - in addition, some people like to have it to print pretty error messages when a connection failed.

The size of this data has been reduced in three ways:

(a) reducing the size of the process name itself. The process name consisted of two 32-bit fields for the jobid and vpid. This is far larger than any current system, or system likely to exist in the near future, can support. Accordingly, the default size of these fields has been reduced to 16-bits, which means you can have 32k procs in each of 32k jobs. Since the daemons must have a vpid, and we require one daemon/node, this also restricts the default configuration to 32k nodes.

To support any future "mega-clusters", a configuration option --enable-jumbo-apps has been added. This option increases the jobid and vpid field sizes to 32-bits. Someday, if necessary, someone can add yet another option to increase them to 64-bits, I suppose.

(b) replacing the string nodename with an integer nodeid. Since we have one daemon/node, the nodeid corresponds to the local daemon's vpid. This replaces an often lengthy string with only 2 (or at most 4) bytes, a substantial reduction.

(c) when the mca param requesting that nodenames be sent to support pretty error messages, a second mca param is now used to request FQDN - otherwise, the domain name is stripped (by default) from the message to save space. If someone wants to combine those into a single param somehow (perhaps with an argument?), they are welcome to do so - I didn't want to alter what people are already using.

While these may seem like small savings, they actually amount to a significant impact when aggregated across the entire modex operation. Since every proc must receive the modex data regardless of the collective used to send it, just reducing the size of the process name removes nearly 400MBytes of communication from a 32k proc job (admittedly, much of this comm may occur in parallel). So it does add up pretty quickly.


3. routing RML messages to reduce connections. The default messaging system remains point-to-point - i.e., each proc opens a socket to every proc it communicates with and sends its messages directly. A new option uses the orteds as routers - i.e., each proc only opens a single socket to its local orted. All messages are sent from the proc to the orted, which forwards the message to the orted on the node where the intended recipient proc is located - that orted then forwards the message to its local proc (the recipient). This greatly reduces the connection storm we have encountered during startup.

It also has the benefit of removing the sharing of every proc's OOB contact with every other proc. The orted routing tables are populated during launch since every orted gets a map of where every proc is being placed. Each proc, therefore, only needs to know the contact info for its local daemon, which is passed in via the environment when the proc is fork/exec'd by the daemon. This alone removes ~50 bytes/process of communication that was in the current STG1 startup message - so for our 32k proc job, this saves us roughly 32k*50 = 1.6MBytes sent to 32k procs = 51GBytes of messaging.

Note that you can use the new routing method by specifying -mca routed tree - if you so desire. This mode will become the default at some point in the future.


There are a few minor additional changes in the commit that I'll just note in passing:

* propagation of command line mca params to the orteds - fixes ticket #1073. See note there for details.

* requiring of "finalize" prior to "exit" for MPI procs - fixes ticket #1144. See note there for details.

* cleanup of some stale header files

1e678c3f55 per conversation with Ralph and Jeff take out the opal_init_only logic.
This commit moves the initalization/finalization of opal_event and opal_progress
to opal_init/finalize. These were previously init/final in ORTE which is an
abstraction violation. After talking about it we concluded that there are no
ordering issues that require these to be init/final in ORTE instead of OPAL.

I ran the IBM test suite against this commit and it didn't turn up any new
failures so I think it is good to go.

Let us know if this causes problems.

4fff584a68 Commit the orted-failed-to-start code. This correctly causes the system to detect the failure of an orted to start and allows the system to terminate all procs/orteds that *did* start.
The primary change that underlies all this is in the OOB. Specifically, the problem in the code until now has been that the OOB attempts to resolve an address when we call the "send" to an unknown recipient. The OOB would then wait forever if that recipient never actually started (and hence, never reported back its OOB contact info). In the case of an orted that failed to start, we would correctly detect that the orted hadn't started, but then we would attempt to order all orteds (including the one that failed to start) to die. This would cause the OOB to "hang" the system.

Unfortunately, revising how the OOB resolves addresses introduced a number of additional problems. Specifically, and most troublesome, was the fact that comm_spawn involved the immediate transmission of the rendezvous point from parent-to-child after the child was spawned. The current code used the OOB address resolution as a "barrier" - basically, the parent would attempt to send the info to the child, and then "hold" there until the child's contact info had arrived (meaning the child had started) and the send could be completed.

Note that this also caused comm_spawn to "hang" the entire system if the child never started... The app-failed-to-start helped improve that behavior - this code provides additional relief.

With this change, the OOB will return an ADDRESSEE_UNKNOWN error if you attempt to send to a recipient whose contact info isn't already in the OOB's hash tables. To resolve comm_spawn issues, we also now force the cross-sharing of connection info between parent and child jobs during spawn.

Finally, to aid in setting triggers to the right values, we introduce the "arith" API for the GPR. This function allows you to atomically change the value in a registry location (either divide, multiply, add, or subtract) by the provided operand. It is equivalent to first fetching the value using a "get", then modifying it, and then putting the result back into the registry via a "put".

78a13bc3ea Fix the MPI_ABORT problem. We added an orte_initialized variable
yesterday and set it to "true" in orte_init().  But ompi_mpi_init()
doesn't call orte_init() -- it calls orte_init_stage1() and
orte_init_stage2(). So orte_initialized was never set to true, and
Badness happend from there (w.r.t. ompi_mpi_abort()).

This patch moves the setting of orte_initialized to orte_init_stage2()
so that everyone will always get it set properly.

It also moves setting orte_universe_info.state to RUNNING into
stage2() as well -- Ralph confirmed that that should have been there
for the same reasons that orte_initialized needs to be there.
