Cleanup ALL instances of output involving the printing of orte_process_name_t structures using the ORTE_NAME_ARGS macro so that the number of fields and type of data match. Replace those values with a new macro/function pair ORTE_NAME_PRINT that outputs a string (using the new thread safe data capability) so that any future changes to the printing of those structures can be accomplished with a change to a single point.
Note that I could not possibly find outputs that directly print the orte_process_name_t fields, but only dealt with those that used ORTE_NAME_ARGS. Hence, you may still have a few outputs that bark during compilation. Also, I could only verify those that fall within environments I can compile on, so other environments may yield some minor warnings.

Short description: major changes include -
1. singletons now fork/exec a local daemon to manage their operations.
2. the orte daemon code now resides in libopen-rte
3. daemons no longer use the orte triggering system during startup. Instead, they directly call back to their parent pls component to report ready to operate. A base function to count the callbacks has been provided.
I have modified all the pls components except xcpu and poe (don't understand either well enough to do it). Full functionality has been verified for rsh, SLURM, and TM systems. Compile has been verified for xgrid and gridengine.

types and add STOP_AT_FIRST_PRIORITY type for framework configuration,
which allows all components at the highest priority that succeeds to
succeed
* Use STOP_AT_FIRST_PRIORITY type for gpr framework, so that the null
component isn't built when the replica and proxy components are
available.

single threaded builds. In its default configuration, all this does
is ensure that there's at least a good chance of threads building
based on non-threaded development (since the variable names will be
checked). There is also code to make sure that a "mutex" is never
"double locked" when using the conditional macro mutex operations.
This is off by default because there are a number of places in both
ORTE and OMPI where this alarm spews mega bytes of errors on a
simple test. So we have some work to do on our path towards
thread support.
Also removed the macro versions of the non-conditional thread locks,
as the only places they were used, the author of the code intended
to use the conditional thread locks. So now you have upper-case
macros for conditional thread locks and lowercase functions for
non-conditional locks. Simple, right? :).
This commit was SVN r15011.
1. generalize orte_rml.xcast to become a general broadcast-like messaging system. Messages can now be sent to any tag on the daemons or processes. Note that any message sent via xcast will be delivered to ALL processes in the specified job - you don't get to pick and choose. At a later date, we will introduce an augmented capability that will use the daemons as relays, but will allow you to send to a specified array of process names.
2. extended orte_rml.xcast so it supports more scalable message routing methodologies. At the moment, we support three: (a) direct, which sends the message directly to all recipients; (b) linear, which sends the message to the local daemon on each node, which then relays it to its own local procs; and (b) binomial, which sends the message via a binomial algo across all the daemons, each of which then relays to its own local procs. The crossover points between the algos are adjustable via MCA param, or you can simply demand that a specific algo be used.
3. orteds no longer exhibit two types of behavior: bootproxy or VM. Orteds now always behave like they are part of a virtual machine - they simply launch a job if mpirun tells them to do so. This is another step towards creating an "orteboot" functionality, but also provided a clean system for supporting message relaying.
Note one major impact of this commit: multiple daemons on a node cannot be supported any longer! Only a single daemon/node is now allowed.
This commit is known to break support for the following environments: POE, Xgrid, Xcpu, Windows. It has been tested on rsh, SLURM, and Bproc. Modifications for TM support have been made but could not be verified due to machine problems at LANL. Modifications for SGE have been made but could not be verified. The developers for the non-verified environments will be separately notified along with suggestions on how to fix the problems.

This correctly repairs the problem by enabling the GPR's "get" function to correctly handle NULL data values.

by using a small hash function before doing the strcmp. The hask key for each
registry entry is computed when it is added to the registry. When we're doing a
query, instead of comparing the 2 strings we first check if the hash key match,
and if they do match then we compare the 2 strings in order to make sure we
eliminate collisions from our answers.
There is some benefit in terms of performance. It's hardly visible for few
processes, but it start showing up when the number of processes increase. In fact
the number of strcmp in the trace file drastically decrease. The main reason it
works well, is because most of the keys start with basically the same chars
(such as orte-blahblah) which transform the strcmp on a loop over few chars.

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".

Per discussions with Brian and Ralph, make a slight correction in
where components are installed. Use $pkglibdir, not $libdir/openmpi,
so that when compiled in the orte trunk, components are installed to
the right directory (because the component search patch is checking
$pkglibdir).

follow the same behavior as before, the changes just make sure the check is done
in linear time and the memory usage is kept to a minimum.
This commit was SVN r14331.
- Make it so that all the GPR pointer arrays are allocated initially at 16 elements instead of 512. This saves (on a 64 bit machine) approximately 4*(# procs + # nodes) KB.
- Fix up the segment prealloc function so that preallocating an existant segment is not an error, and make the areas where we do large inserts use it.
Fix the orte_pointer_array to efficiently implement setting its size. Before we just realloced the array one block at a time until the desired size was reached. Now we resize it all in one realloc.

and George on these refinements):
* Rename the static OBJ initializer macro to be
OPAL_OBJ_STATIC_INIT(class)
* Ensure that all static OBJ initializations get a refcount of 1
(doesn't ''really'' matter, since they're static, it should never
get to the point where the OBJ is DESTRUCTed, but more correct
nonetheless)
* Add a "magic number" to the OBJ when compiling with debug support.
The magic number does some rudimentary support to ensure that
you're operating on a valid OBJ (and fails an assertion if you're
not). Check to ensure that the memory contains the magic number
when performing actions of OBJ's. Also remove the magic number
when DESTRUCTing OBJs, so that if, for example, an OBJ is
DESTRUCTed more than once, we'll fail the magic number assert.

This fix includes two parts: (a) we now initialize the keyval pointer locations to NULL after the malloc, and (b) we now OBJ_NEW the keyvals prior to storing info in them.
BTW, in case anyone reads this and wonders why we don't just OBJ_NEW the keyvals in create_value, the reason is simply that some places in the code use static keyvals and simply assign those addresses into the value object's array. So not everyone wants to OBJ_NEW keyvals - by not forcing it here in create_value, we give the user the flexibility to do whatever they want.

Fixes trac:590

I found only two places that were looking at the tokens:
1. the odls - we used the tokens to separately process the globals container data from everything else. In this case, I left the subscription that returned the globals data alone, but "stripped" the subscription that returned the launch data for the procs. These subscriptions have nothing to do with the xcast message.
2. the pml_base_modex - the callback function was getting process names from the returned tokens. Actually, this function was doing a very bad thing - it was assuming that the first token returned was *always* the process name. This is currently true, but is one of those assumptions that someone could have easily changed - and suddenly found the system inexplicably failing. I modified the function to (a) get the name sent back to us, (b) "stripped" the value structures of tokens and segment strings, and (c) correctly obtained process names from the returned values. I also reindented the heck out of the code so it was legible (at least, to my old eyes).

1. implement and enable the non-described buffer operations. I will send out a more detailed explanation separately. However, this mode of operation (which is now the default) significantly reduces message size during startup. If you want the described buffers, set the mca param "-mca dss_describe_buffer 1".
2. revise the xcast system to support both linear and binomial tree broadcast methods. Since we are seeing scenarios where the binomiall tree can cause problems, I have made the linear method the default. To run with the binomial tree, set the mca param "-mca oob_xcast_mode binomial".
3. add some detailed timing reports to the xcast operation. These are enabled via "-mca oob_xcast_timing 1".
4. add some more unit tests for the dss and gpr (focused on support for the non-described buffer)
This commit was SVN r12722.
Accordingly, there are new APIs to the name service to support the ability to get a job's parent, root, immediate children, and all its descendants. In addition, the terminate_job, terminate_orted, and signal_job APIs for the PLS have been modified to accept attributes that define the extent of their actions. For example, doing a "terminate_job" with an attribute of ORTE_NS_INCLUDE_DESCENDANTS will terminate the given jobid AND all jobs that descended from it.
I have tested this capability on a MacBook under rsh, Odin under SLURM, and LANL's Flash (bproc). It worked successfully on non-MPI jobs (both simple and including a spawn), and MPI jobs (again, both simple and with a spawn).
This commit was SVN r12597.
Modify the mapper to better bookmark its stopping place each time, and to pick up the next time from there. This needs to be validated on a multi-node system.
Fix a major memory corruption problem in the registry put/get functions that was doing multiple free's. Not sure how valgrind missed this one, though it only occurred in specific circumstances (such as comm_spawn).
This commit was SVN r12179.
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.
