1cbfb53801 r24976 wasn't quite right -- you now actually get a warning if you
specify btl_tcp_if_include because btl_tcp_if_exclude is defaulted to
the loopback devices.

This commit does a few things:

 * Introduce a new OPAL MCA base function:
   mca_base_param_check_exclusive_string().  It checks to see that the
   ''user'' does not set two MCA parameters that are mutually
   exclusive by checking the source of those MCS param values.
 * Use the above function in many BTLs (and the OOB TCP) to ensure
   that <foo>_if_include and <foo>_if_exclude are not both specified
   ''by the user''.
 * Re-arrange many of these BTLs to move their MCA registration code
   into a separate component_register() function (vs. the
   component_open() function).

This code has been nominally reviewed and checked by Ralph, George,
Terry, and Shiqing.

b113b1a382 Add the btl_tcp_if_seq MCA parameter. From the help string:
If specified, a comma-delimited list of TCP interfaces.  Interfaces
  will be assigned, one to each MPI process, in a round-robin fashion
  on each server.  For example, if the list is "eth0,eth1" and four
  MPI processes are run on a single server, then local ranks 0 and 2
  will use eth0 and local ranks 1 and 3 will use eth1.

This feature is only useful for environments with virtual ethernet
interfaces on the same network.  For example, if eth0 and eth1 are
virtual interfaces to the same NIC on the same subnet, and if the NIC
provides different hardware resources to eth0 and eth1 (not just
different kernel resources), some HOL blocking and congestion issues
can be eased in a modest fashion.

fceabb2498 Update libevent to the 2.0 series, currently at 2.0.7rc. We will update to their final release when it becomes available. Currently known errors exist in unused portions of the libevent code. This revision passes the IBM test suite on a Linux machine and on a standalone Mac.
This is a fairly intrusive change, but outside of the moving of opal/event to opal/mca/event, the only changes involved (a) changing all calls to opal_event functions to reflect the new framework instead, and (b) ensuring that all opal_event_t objects are properly constructed since they are now true opal_objects.

Note: Shiqing has just returned from vacation and has not yet had a chance to complete the Windows integration. Thus, this commit almost certainly breaks Windows support on the trunk. However, I want this to have a chance to soak for as long as possible before I become less available a week from today (going to be at a class for 5 days, and thus will only be sparingly available) so we can find and fix any problems.

Biggest change is moving the libevent code from opal/event to a new opal/mca/event framework. This was done to make it much easier to update libevent in the future. New versions can be inserted as a new component and tested in parallel with the current version until validated, then we can remove the earlier version if we so choose. This is a statically built framework ala installdirs, so only one component will build at a time. There is no selection logic - the sole compiled component simply loads its function pointers into the opal_event struct.

I have gone thru the code base and converted all the libevent calls I could find. However, I cannot compile nor test every environment. It is therefore quite likely that errors remain in the system. Please keep an eye open for two things:

1. compile-time errors: these will be obvious as calls to the old functions (e.g., opal_evtimer_new) must be replaced by the new framework APIs (e.g., opal_event.evtimer_new)

2. run-time errors: these will likely show up as segfaults due to missing constructors on opal_event_t objects. It appears that it became a typical practice for people to "init" an opal_event_t by simply using memset to zero it out. This will no longer work - you must either OBJ_NEW or OBJ_CONSTRUCT an opal_event_t. I tried to catch these cases, but may have missed some. Believe me, you'll know when you hit it.

There is also the issue of the new libevent "no recursion" behavior. As I described on a recent email, we will have to discuss this and figure out what, if anything, we need to do.

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.

fd28b392bf - An intrusive commit yet again (sorry): with the separation we
get bitten by header depending on having already included
   the corresponding [opal|orte|ompi]_config.h header.
   When separating, things like [OPAL|ORTE|OMPI]_DECLSPEC
   are missed.

   Script to add the corresponding header in front of all following
   (taking care of possible #ifdef HAVE_...)

 - Including some minor cleanups to
   - ompi/group/group.h -- include _after_ #ifndef OMPI_GROUP_H
   - ompi/mca/btl/btl.h -- nclude _after_ #ifndef MCA_BTL_H
   - ompi/mca/crcp/bkmrk/crcp_bkmrk_btl.c -- still no need for
     orte/util/output.h
   - ompi/mca/pml/dr/pml_dr_recvreq.c -- no need for mpool.h
   - ompi/mca/btl/btl.h -- reorder to fit
   - ompi/mca/bml/bml.h -- reorder to fit
   - ompi/runtime/ompi_mpi_finalize.c -- reorder to fit

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.

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.

George Bosilca
6310ce955c The first patch related to the Active Message stuff. So far, here is what we have:
- the registration array is now global instead of one by BTL.
- each framework have to declare the entries in the registration array reserved. Then
  it have to define the internal way of sharing (or not) these entries between all
  components. As an example, the PML will not share as there is only one active PML
  at any moment, while the BTLs will have to. The tag is 8 bits long, the first 3
  are reserved for the framework while the remaining 5 are use internally by each
  framework.
- The registration function is optional. If a BTL do not provide such function,
  nothing happens. However, in the case where such function is provided in the BTL
  structure, it will be called by the BML, when a tag is registered.

Now, it's time for the second step... Converting OB1 from a switch based PML to an
active message one.

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.

8c9e4baa47 Add multi-link capabilities to the TCP BTL. This is useful for systems where the
latency is high and the network relatively fast. This will allow for more kernel
level buffering, which allow overlap between system calls and communications.
Somehow, even on fast clusters there is an improvement (non significant).

This patch create multiple modules for the same device, which in turn will
create multiple sockets between the peers. By default the number of BTL by
device is set to 1, so there is no fundamental difference with the current
version. Change the value of btl_tcp_links to enable multiple links between
peers.

dadca7da88 Merging in the jjhursey-ft-cr-stable branch (r13912 : HEAD).
This merge adds Checkpoint/Restart support to Open MPI. The initial
frameworks and components support a LAM/MPI-like implementation.

This commit follows the risk assessment presented to the Open MPI core
development group on Feb. 22, 2007.

This commit closes trac:158

More details to follow.

e5c594c211 More updates for the async error handler for btl's
In order to provide backwards compatability the framework versions are bumped
and the handler registeration function is at the end of the btl struct.
Testing done on sm, openib, and gm..

5851b55647 Improve the latency for small and medium messages. The idea is to decrease the
number of recv system call by caching the data. Each endpoint has a buffer
(the size is an MCA parameter) that can be use as a cache. Before each receive
operation this buffer is added at the end of the iovec list. All data that are
not expected by the fragment will go in this cache. If the cache contain data
all subsequent receive will just memcpy the data into the BTL buffers.

The only drawback is that we will spin around the receive_handle until all the
cached data is readed by the PML layer. This limitation come from the fact that
the event library is unable to call us if there is no events on the socket.
Therefore we are unable to keep the data in the cache until the next loop
into the progress engine.
