A functional change is (re-) specifying __opal_attribute_noreturn__
on orte_errmgr_base_abort(): All modules in the errmgr framework
either use this function, or define their own abort function,
which sets __opal_attribute_noreturn__.
This attributes was taken out with the errmgr overhaul in r22872.

Let's test the svn commit msg CMR:v1.5
This commit was SVN r23676.
extravaganza.
= Short version =
This commit does several things, but the short version is that it
re-orients the error message creation of the ODLS default module to
generate error strings in the child process for errors that occur
after the fork but before the exec (such errors are ''usually''
related to paffinity). A show_help string is rendered in the child
and then IPC'ed up to the parent, who displays the string through
normal ORTE show_help aggregation mechanisms. We also broke up the
ginormous paffinity-setting logic into a few separate functions, both
to help us understand the code, and hopefully to ease future
maintenance.
The logic for the ODLS default binding should not have changed -- this
is mainly a code reshuffle and improvement on error reporting.
= Rationale =
The reasoning for this commit is complex. As mentioned above, it's
the first step in some paffinity cleanup. Here's the line of dominoes
that must fall (in this order):
1. Add hwloc paffinity component (already done).
1. While testing hwloc, we discovered that the error reporting from
the ODLS default module was abysmal. So we fixed it.
1. Further, we reorganized the code in the odsl_default_module.c a bit
to help our understanding of it.
1. We also discovered a few bugs in the original ODLS default module
logic that existed before this code shuffle; separate tickets
will be filed to fix them.
1. Next up will be some improvements to paffinity / odls default to
make the act of binding to a core ensure to bind to ''all''
hardware threads contained in that core (similar for sockets:
binding to a socket will bind to ''all'' hardware threads in that
socket).
1. Next will be improvements to paffinity to expose binding to
hardware threads through the paffinity framework API.
1. Finally, we'll expose these binding controls to the user (e.g.,
through mpirun command line arguments, MCA parameters, etc.).
This commit represents the first few bullets; the last 4 bullets are
being worked on right now, but there is no definite timeline for
completion.
= Miscelaneous =
A few points worth mentioning:
* We have tested this new code a bunch; we're pretty sure it behaves
just like the trunk -- but with better / more precise error
reporting. More testing is needed on a wider array of platforms,
however.
* A big comment at the top of odls_default_module.c explains the
(new) general scheme for the error reporting.
* The error reporting in the parent process is now really dumb;
almost all the intelligence about creating error messages is in the
child.
* The show_help file was renamed to be more consistent with other
help files (help-odls-default.txt -> help-orte-odls-default.txt)
* Removed the use of sched_yield() because of recent changes in the
Linux 2.6.3x kernels. We already had an #else clause for
select()'ing for 1us if we didn't have sched_yield() -- that is now
the only code path. This is not a performance-critical section of
the code, so this shouldn't be controversial.
* Replaced the macro-based error reporting with function-based
reporting. It's a bit more bulky, but it helped us understand the
code and saved us multiple times with compile-time parameter
checking, etc.
* Cleaned up the use of several show_help messages to ensure that
they mapped to real messages in help*.txt files.
This commit was SVN r23652.
The composite functionality was becoming difficult to maintain, so we removed it for now which simplifies the framework design considerably.
Since the 'crmig' and 'autor' components were -very- similar to the 'hnp' component, this commit also merges them together. By moving the 'crmig' and 'autor' to a separate file under the 'hnp' component we are able to isolate the C/R logic to a large extent, thus being only minimally hooked into the previous 'hnp' component.
So other than some name changes, the functionality is all still in place. I will update the C/R documentation later this morning.
This commit was SVN r23628.
Here we tried to write out the session directory marker after we sync the directory, which happens early in the case of --stop.
Thanks to Ananda Mudar for noticing the bug.

Major Changes:
--------------
* Added C/R-enabled Debugging support.
Enabled with the --enable-crdebug flag. See the following website for more information:
http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/crdebug/
* Added Stable Storage (SStore) framework for checkpoint storage
* 'central' component does a direct to central storage save
* 'stage' component stages checkpoints to central storage while the application continues execution.
* 'stage' supports offline compression of checkpoints before moving (sstore_stage_compress)
* 'stage' supports local caching of checkpoints to improve automatic recovery (sstore_stage_caching)
* Added Compression (compress) framework to support
* Add two new ErrMgr recovery policies
* {{{crmig}}} C/R Process Migration
* {{{autor}}} C/R Automatic Recovery
* Added the {{{ompi-migrate}}} command line tool to support the {{{crmig}}} ErrMgr component
* Added CR MPI Ext functions (enable them with {{{--enable-mpi-ext=cr}}} configure option)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Checkpoint}}} (Fixes trac:2342)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Restart}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Migrate}}} (may need some more work for mapping rules)
* {{{OMPI_CR_INC_register_callback}}} (Fixes trac:2192)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_start}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_checkpoint}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_end}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_checkpoint_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_restart_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_continue_callback}}}
* The ErrMgr predicted_fault() interface has been changed to take an opal_list_t of ErrMgr defined types. This will allow us to better support a wider range of fault prediction services in the future.
* Add a progress meter to:
* FileM rsh (filem_rsh_process_meter)
* SnapC full (snapc_full_progress_meter)
* SStore stage (sstore_stage_progress_meter)
* Added 2 new command line options to ompi-restart
* --showme : Display the full command line that would have been exec'ed.
* --mpirun_opts : Command line options to pass directly to mpirun. (Fixes trac:2413)
* Deprecated some MCA params:
* crs_base_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_stage_local_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_shared deprecated, use sstore_stage_global_is_shared
* snapc_base_store_in_place deprecated, replaced with different components of SStore
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_ref deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_ref
* snapc_base_establish_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, never well supported
* snapc_full_skip_filem deprecated, use sstore_stage_skip_filem
Minor Changes:
--------------
* Fixes trac:1924 : {{{ompi-restart}}} now recognizes path prefixed checkpoint handles and does the right thing.
* Fixes trac:2097 : {{{ompi-info}}} should now report all available CRS components
* Fixes trac:2161 : Manual checkpoint movement. A user can 'mv' a checkpoint directory from the original location to another and still restart from it.
* Fixes trac:2208 : Honor various TMPDIR varaibles instead of forcing {{{/tmp}}}
* Move {{{ompi_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to {{{orte_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to be more flexible in where this should be set.
* opal_crs_base_metadata_write* functions have been moved to SStore to support a wider range of metadata handling functionality.
* Cleanup the CRS framework and components to work with the SStore framework.
* Cleanup the SnapC framework and components to work with the SStore framework (cleans up these code paths considerably).
* Add 'quiesce' hook to CRCP for a future enhancement.
* We now require a BLCR version that supports {{{cr_request_file()}}} or {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}} in order to make the code more maintainable. Note that {{{cr_request_file}}} has been deprecated since 0.7.0, so we prefer to use {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}}.
* Add optional application level INC callbacks (registered through the CR MPI Ext interface).
* Increase the {{{opal_cr_thread_sleep_wait}}} parameter to 1000 microseconds to make the C/R thread less aggressive.
* {{{opal-restart}}} now looks for cache directories before falling back on stable storage when asked.
* {{{opal-restart}}} also support local decompression before restarting
* {{{orte-checkpoint}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* {{{orte-restart}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* Remove the {{{orte-restart}}} preload option. This was removed since the user only needs to select the 'stage' component in order to support this functionality.
* Since the '-am' parameter is saved in the metadata, {{{ompi-restart}}} no longer hard codes {{{-am ft-enable-cr}}}.
* Fix {{{hnp}}} ErrMgr so that if a previous component in the stack has 'fixed' the problem, then it should be skipped.
* Make sure to decrement the number of 'num_local_procs' in the orted when one goes away.
* odls now checks the SStore framework to see if it needs to load any checkpoint files before launching (to support 'stage'). This separates the SStore logic from the --preload-[binary|files] options.
* Add unique IDs to the named pipes established between the orted and the app in SnapC. This is to better support migration and automatic recovery activities.
* Improve the checks for 'already checkpointing' error path.
* A a recovery output timer, to show how long it takes to restart a job
* Do a better job of cleaning up the old session directory on restart.
* Add a local module to the autor and crmig ErrMgr components. These small modules prevent the 'orted' component from attempting a local recovery (Which does not work for MPI apps at the moment)
* Add a fix for bounding the checkpointable region between MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.
