Change the priority of comm_failure and job_termination events to ensure we process final messages prior to terminating. Check for termination conditions when processing proc termination events as we may order proc termination when the daemon gets an exit command, but we can't see the proc actually terminate until we get out of that message event.

The problem arises when a hostfile is used, and the user provides host names without specifying the slots= paramater. In these cases, we assign slots=1, but automatically allow oversubscription since that number isn't confirmed. We then provide a separate parameter by which the user can direct that we assign the number of slots based on the sensed hardware - e.g., by telling us to set the #slots equal to the #cores on each node. However, this has been set to "off" by default.
In order to make this a little less complex for the user, set the default such that we automatically set #slots equal to #cores (or #hwt's if use_hwthreads_as_cpus has been set) only for those cases where the user provides names in a hostfile but does not provide slot information.
Also cleanup some a couple of issues in the mapping/binding system:
* ensure we only override the binding directive if we are oversubscribed *and* overload is not allowed
* ensure that the MPI procs don't attempt to bind themselves if they are launched by an orted as any binding directive (no matter what it was) would have been serviced by the orted on launch
* minor cleanup to the warning message when oversubscribed and binding was requested

Tetsuya's proposed patch didn't solve the problem for me, but it did correct the case where cpus/proc > 1. The final patch requires that we loop over the assignment
algo until all procs are assigned or all nodes are filled - any remaining procs are then handled in the cleanup loop.

So...print a big "deprecated" warning for the old params and error out if a conflict is detected. I know that isn't what people really wanted, but it's the best we
can do. If only the old style param is given, then process it after the warning.
Extend the current map-by param to add support for ppr and cpus-per-proc, adding the latter to the list of allowed modifiers using "pe=n" for processing elements/proc. Thus, you can map-by socket:pe=2,oversubscribe to map by socket, binding 2 processing elements/process, with oversubscription allowed. Or you can map-by ppr:2:socket:pe=4 to map two processes to every socket in the allocation, binding each process to 4 processing elements.
For those wondering, a processing element is defined as a hwthread if --use-hwthreads-as-cpus is given, or else as a core.

NOTE: launch performance will be absolutely awful if you do this with BTLs that aren't configured to modex_recv on first message!
Even with "modex on demand", we still have to do a barrier in place of the modex - we simply don't move any data around, which does reduce the time impact. The barrier is required to ensure that the other proc has in fact registered all its BTL info and therefore is prepared to hand over a complete data package. Otherwise, you may not get the info you need. In addition, the shared memory BTL can fail to properly rendezvous as it expects the barrier to be in place.
This behavior will *only* take effect under the following conditions:
1. launched via mpirun
2. #procs is greater than ompi_hostname_cutoff, which defaults to UINT32_MAX
3. mca param rte_orte_direct_modex is set to 1. At the moment, we are having problems getting this param to register properly, so only the first two conditions are in effect. Still, the bottom line is you have to *want* this behavior to get it.
The planned next evolution of this will be to make the direct modex be non-blocking - this will require two fixes:
1. if the remote proc doesn't have the required info, then let it delay its response until it does. This means we need a way for the MPI layer to tell the RTE "I am done entering modex data".
2. adjust the SM rendezvous logic to loop until the required file has been created
Creating a placeholder to bring this over to 1.7.5 when ready.

Ticket 3847 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/3847
This change contains a non-mandatory modification
of the MPI-RTE interface. Anyone wishing to support
coprocessors such as the Xeon Phi may wish to add
the required definition and underlying support
****************************************************************
Add locality support for coprocessors such as the Intel Xeon Phi.
Detecting that we are on a coprocessor inside of a host node isn't straightforward. There are no good "hooks" provided for programmatically detecting that "we are on a coprocessor running its own OS", and the ORTE daemon just thinks it is on another node. However, in order to properly use the Phi's public interface for MPI transport, it is necessary that the daemon detect that it is colocated with procs on the host.
So we have to split the locality to separately record "on the same host" vs "on the same board". We already have the board-level locality flag, but not quite enough flexibility to handle this use-case. Thus, do the following:
1. add OPAL_PROC_ON_HOST flag to indicate we share a host, but not necessarily the same board
2. modify OPAL_PROC_ON_NODE to indicate we share both a host AND the same board. Note that we have to modify the OPAL_PROC_ON_LOCAL_NODE macro to explicitly check both conditions
3. add support in opal/mca/hwloc/base/hwloc_base_util.c for the host to check for coprocessors, and for daemons to check to see if they are on a coprocessor. The former is done via hwloc, but support for the latter is not yet provided by hwloc. So the code for detecting we are on a coprocessor currently is Xeon Phi specific - hopefully, we will find more generic methods in the future.
4. modify the orted and the hnp startup so they check for coprocessors and to see if they are on a coprocessor, and have the orteds pass that info back in their callback message. Automatically detect that coprocessors have been found and identify which coprocessors are on which hosts. Note that this algo isn't scalable at the moment - this will hopefully be improved over time.
5. modify the ompi proc locality detection function to look for coprocessor host info IF the OMPI_RTE_HOST_ID database key has been defined. RTE's that choose not to provide this support do not have to do anything - the associated code will simply be ignored.
6. include some cleanup of the hwloc open/close code so it conforms to how we did things in other frameworks (e.g., having a single "frame" file instead of open/close). Also, fix the locality flags - e.g., being on the same node means you must also be on the same cluster/cu, so ensure those flags are also set.

Fix two problems that surfaced when using direct launch under SLURM:
1. locally store our own data because some BTLs want to retrieve
it during add_procs rather than use what they have internally
2. cleanup MPI_Abort so it correctly passes the error status all
the way down to the actual exit. When someone implemented the
"abort_peers" API, they left out the error status. So we lost
it at that point and *always* exited with a status of 1. This
forces a change to the API to include the status.

However, tools such as mpirun don't need it, and definitely shouldn't be using it. Ditto for procs launched by mpirun.
We used to have a way of dealing with this - we had the PMI component check to see if the process was the HNP or was launched by an HNP. Sadly, moving the OPAL db framework removed
that ability as OPAL has no notion of HNPs or proc type.
So add a boolean flag to the db_base_select API that allows us to restrict selection to "local" components. This gives the PMI component the ability to reject itself as required. W
e then need to pass that param into the ess_base_std_app call so it can pass it all down.

The intercomm "merge" function can create a linkage between procs that was not reflected anywhere in a modex, and so at least some of the procs in the resulting communicator don't know how to talk to some of the new communicator's peers.
For example, consider the case where:
1. parent job A comm_spawns a process (job B) - these processes exchange modex and can communicate
2. parent job A now comm_spawns another process (job C) - again, these can communicate, but the proc in C knows nothing of B
3. do an intercomm merge across the communicators created by the two comm_spawns. This puts B and C into the same communicator, but they know nothing about how to talk to each other as they were not involved in any exchange of contact info. Hence, collectives on that communicator now fail.
This fix adds an API to the ompi/dpm framework that (a) exchanges the modex info across the procs in the merge to ensure all procs know how to communicate, and (b) calls add_procs to give the btl's a chance to select transports to any new procs.

*** 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

So shift the cutoff param to the MPI layer, and have it solely determine whether or not we call modex_recv on the hostname. If comm_world is of size greater than the cutoff, then we don't automatically retrieve the hostname when we build the ompi_proc_t for a process - instead, we fill the hostname entry on first call to modex_recv for that process.
The param is now "ompi_hostname_cutoff=N", where N=number of procs for cutoff.

* add a new MCA param orte_hostname_cutoff to specify the number of nodes at which we stop including hostnames. This defaults to INT_MAX => always include hostnames. If a value is given, then we will include hostnames for any allocation smaller than the given limit.
* remove ompi_proc_get_hostname. Replace all occurrences with a direct link to ompi_proc_t's proc_hostname, protected by appropriate "if NULL"
* modify the OMPI-ORTE integration component so that any call to modex_recv automatically loads the ompi_proc_t->proc_hostname field as well as returning the requested info. Thus, any process whose modex info you retrieve will automatically receive the hostname. Note that on-demand retrieval is still enabled - i.e., if we are running under direct launch with PMI, the hostname will be fetched upon first call to modex_recv, and then the ompi_proc_t->proc_hostname field will be loaded
* removed a stale MCA param "mpi_keep_peer_hostnames" that was no longer used anywhere in the code base
* added an envar lookup in ess/pmi for the number of nodes in the allocation. Sadly, PMI itself doesn't provide that info, so we have to get it a different way. Currently, we support PBS-based systems and SLURM - for any other, rank0 will emit a warning and we assume max number of daemons so we will always retain hostnames

This creates a really bad scaling behavior. Users have found a nearly 20% launch time differential between mpirun and PMI, with PMI being the slower method. Some of the problem is attributable to poor exchange algorithms in RM's like Slurm and Alps, but we make things worse by calling "get" so many times.
Nathan (with a tad advice from me) has attempted to alleviate this problem by reducing the number of "get" calls. This required the following changes:
* upon first request for data, have the OPAL db pmi component fetch and decode *all* the info from a given remote proc. It turned out we weren't caching the info, so we would continually request it and only decode the piece we needed for the immediate request. We now decode all the info and push it into the db hash component for local storage - and then all subsequent retrievals are fulfilled locally
* reduced the amount of data by eliminating the exchange of the OMPI_ARCH value if heterogeneity is not enabled. This was used solely as a check so we would error out if the system wasn't actually homogeneous, which was fine when we thought there was no cost in doing the check. Unfortunately, at large scale and with direct launch, there is a non-zero cost of making this test. We are open to finding a compromise (perhaps turning the test off if requested?), if people feel strongly about performing the test
* reduced the amount of RTE data being automatically fetched, and fetched the rest only upon request. In particular, we no longer immediately fetch the hostname (which is only used for error reporting), but instead get it when needed. Likewise for the RML uri as that info is only required for some (not all) environments. In addition, we no longer fetch the locality unless required, relying instead on the PMI clique info to tell us who is on our local node (if additional info is required, the fetch is performed when a modex_recv is issued).
Again, all this only impacts direct launch - all the info is provided when launched via mpirun as there is no added cost to getting it
Barring objections, we may move this (plus any required other pieces) to the 1.7 branch once it soaks for an appropriate time.

The orte rte component checks the orte_standalone_operation to decide
if it should wait for a message from the hnp or wait on the debugger.
This variable needed to be set to true in ess/pmi to enable the
correct path when direct launching.

This commit reintroduces key compression into the pmi db. This feature
compresses the keys stored into the component into a small number of
PMI keys by serializing the data and base64 encoding the result. This
will avoid issues with Cray PMI which restricts us to ~ 3 PMI keys per
rank.

Simplify the whole stripping of prefix method by consolidating it into a single MCA param. Allow for multiple prefixes to be stripped, each separated in the param by a comma. If no prefix is given, or the specified prefix isn't in the nodename, then just use the hostname itself.

This corrects a problem with Cray systems where the login node's hostname
was being stripped causing the login node to be used as a compute node by
mpirun.

George and I were talking about ORTE's error handling the other day in regards to the right way to deal with errors in the updated OOB. Specifically, it seemed a bad idea for a library such as ORTE to be aborting the job on its own prerogative. If we lose a connection or cannot send a message, then we really should just report it upwards and let the application and/or upper layers decide what to do about it.
The current code base only allows a single error callback to exist, which seemed unduly limiting. So, based on the conversation, I've modified the errmgr interface to provide a mechanism for registering any number of error handlers (this replaces the current "set_fault_callback" API). When an error occurs, these handlers will be called in order until one responds that the error has been "resolved" - i.e., no further action is required - by returning OMPI_SUCCESS. The default MPI layer error handler is specified to go "last" and calls mpi_abort, so the current "abort" behavior is preserved unless other error handlers are registered.
In the register_callback function, I provide an "order" param so you can specify "this callback must come first" or "this callback must come last". Seemed to me that we will probably have different code areas registering callbacks, and one might require it go first (the default "abort" will always require it go last). So you can append and prepend, or go first. Note that only one registration can declare itself "first" or "last", and since the default "abort" callback automatically takes "last", that one isn't available. :-)
The errhandler callback function passes an opal_pointer_array of structs, each of which contains the name of the proc involved (which can be yourself for internal errors) and the error code. This is a change from the current fault callback which returned an opal_pointer_array of just process names. Rationale is that you might need to see the cause of the error to decide what action to take. I realize that isn't a requirement for remote procs, but remember that we will use the SAME interface to report RTE errors internal to the proc itself. In those cases, you really do need to see the error code. It is legal to pass a NULL for the pointer array (e.g., when reporting an internal failure without error code), so handlers must be prepared for that possibility. If people find that too burdensome, we can remove it.
Should we ever decide to create a separate callback path for internal errors vs remote process failures, or if we decide to do something different based on experience, then we can adjust this API.
