Fix the problem observed by multiple people that comm_spawned children were (once again) being mapped onto the same nodes as their parents. This was caused by going through the RAS a second time, thus overwriting the mapper's bookkeeping that told RMAPS where it had left off.
To solve this - and to continue moving forward on the ORTE development - we introduce the concept of attributes to control the behavior of the RM frameworks. I defined the attributes and a list of attributes as new ORTE data types to make it easier for people to pass them around (since they are now fundamental to the system, and therefore we will be packing and unpacking them frequently). Thus, all the functions to manipulate attributes can be implemented and debugged in one place.
I used those capabilities in two places:
1. Added an attribute list to the rmgr.spawn interface.
2. Added an attribute list to the ras.allocate interface. At the moment, the only attribute I modified the various RAS components to recognize is the USE_PARENT_ALLOCATION one (as defined in rmgr_types.h).
So the RAS components now know how to reuse an allocation. I have debugged this under rsh, but it now needs to be tested on a wider set of platforms.
This commit was SVN r12138.
Clean up the remainder of the size_t references in the runtime itself. Convert to orte_std_cntr_t wherever it makes sense (only avoid those places where the actual memory size is referenced).
Remove the obsolete oob barrier function (we actually obsoleted it a long time ago - just never bothered to clean it up).
I have done my best to go through all the components and catch everything, even if I couldn't test compile them since I wasn't on that type of system. Still, I cannot guarantee that problems won't show up when you test this on specific systems. Usually, these will just show as "warning: comparison between signed and unsigned" notes which are easily fixed (just change a size_t to orte_std_cntr_t).
In some places, people didn't use size_t, but instead used some other variant (e.g., I found several places with uint32_t). I tried to catch all of them, but...
Once we get all the instances caught and fixed, this should once and for all resolve many of the heterogeneity problems.
This commit was SVN r11204.
1. Changed the RMGR and PLS APIs to add "signal_job" and "signal_proc" entry points. Only the "signal_job" entries are implemented - none of the components have implementations for "signal_proc" at this time. Thus, you can signal all of the procs in a job, but cannot currently signal only one specific proc.
2. Implemented those new API functions in all components except xgrid (Brian will do so very soon). Only the rsh/ssh and fork modules have been tested, however, and only under OS-X.
3. Added signal traps and callback functions for SIGUSR1/2 to orterun/mpirun that catch those signals and call the appropriate commands to propagate them out to all processes in the job.
4. Added a new test directory under the orte branch to (eventually) hold unit and system level tests for just the run-time. Since our test branch of the repository is under restricted access, people working on the RTE were continually developing their own system-level tests - thus making it hard to help diagnose problems. I have moved the more commonly-used functions here, and added one specifically for testing the SIGUSR1/2 functionality.
I will be contacting people directly to seek help with testing the changes on more environments. Other than compile issues, you should see absolutely no change in behavior on any of your systems - this additional functionality is transparent to anyone who does not issue a SIGUSR1/2 to mpirun.

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)
