df2f594aa8 Some cleanup associated with multiple app_contexts. Ensure nodes only get entered once into the map. Correctly handle bookmarks. Cleanup tracking of slots_inuse and correct detection of oversubscription.
Still need to resolve the ranking issue so it starts at the bookmark, but that will come next.

07655e2945 Handle the case where the allocator "fibs" to us about the node names. In some cases (ahem...you know who you are!), the allocator will tell us a node number (e.g., "16"). However, the daemon will return a node name (e.g., "nid0016") - leaving us not recognizing its location.
So provide a new parameter (can't have too many!) that handles this situation by stripping the prefix from the returned node name. Also do a little cleanup to ensure we cleanly exit from errors, without generating too many annoying messages.

c56acf60ca Although we never really thought about it, we made an unconscious assumption in the mapper system - we assumed that the daemons would be placed on nodes in the order that the nodes appear in the allocation. In other words, we assumed that the launch environment would map processes in node order.
Turns out, this isn't necessarily true. The Cray, for example, launches processes in a toroidal pattern, thus causing the daemons to wind up somewhere other than what we thought. Other environments (e.g., slurm) are also capable of such behavior, depending upon the default mapping algorithm they are told to use.

Resolve this problem by making the daemon-to-node assignment in the affected environments when the daemon calls back and tells us what node it is on. Order the nodes in the mapping list so they are in daemon-vpid order as opposed to the order in which they show in the allocation. For environments that don't exhibit this mapping behavior (e.g., rsh), this won't have any impact.

Also, clean up the vm launch procedure a little bit so it more closely aligns with the state machine implementation that is coming, and remove some lingering "slave" code.

9b59d8de6f This is actually a much smaller commit than it appears at first glance - it just touches a lot of files. The --without-rte-support configuration option has never really been implemented completely. The option caused various objects not to be defined and conditionally compiled some base functions, but did nothing to prevent build of the component libraries. Unfortunately, since many of those components use objects covered by the option, it caused builds to break if those components were allowed to build.
Brian dealt with this in the past by creating platform files and using "no-build" to block the components. This was clunky, but acceptable when only one organization was using that option. However, that number has now expanded to at least two more locations.

Accordingly, make --without-rte-support actually work by adding appropriate configury to prevent components from building when they shouldn't. While doing so, remove two frameworks (db and rmcast) that are no longer used as ORCM comes to a close (besides, they belonged in ORCM now anyway). Do some minor cleanups along the way.

1ee7c39982 Fix some major bit-rot on scalable launch. If static ports are provided, then daemons can connect back to the HNP via the routed connection tree instead of doing so directly. In order to do that at scale, the node list must be passed as a regular expression - otherwise, the orted command line gets too long.
Over the course of time, usage of static ports got corrupted in several places, the "parent" info got incorrectly reset, etc. So correct all that and get the regex-based wireup going again.

Also, don't pass node lists if static ports aren't enabled - they are of no value to the orted and just create the possibility of overly-long cmd lines.

40a2bfa238 WARNING: Work on the temp branch being merged here encountered problems with bugs in subversion. Considerable effort has gone into validating the branch. However, not all conditions can be checked, so users are cautioned that it may be advisable to not update from the trunk for a few days to allow MTT to identify platform-specific issues.
This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.

Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.

099c3aad97 Fix a major foopah that broke debugger attach. With the revisions in updating proc state, we dropped the recording of each proc's pid. Thus, attaching debuggers would find a proctable whose pids all equal 0.
This required modification of the errmgr.update_state API so the pid could be passed in to the function that could update the proper data record(s). All calls to that API have been updated as well, but I obviously couldn't test them all.

Thanks to Dong Ahn (LLNL) for catching this problem!

Also fixed debugger daemon cospawn, both for initial launch and attach-while-running modes. Tested and verified on rsh and slurm.

efbb5c9b7c Revamp the errmgr framework to provide a greater range of optional behaviors, including different behaviors for daemons, and remove several looping messages across the code base:
* add hnp and orted modules to the errmgr framework. The HNP module contains much of the code that was in the errmgr base since that code could only be executed by the HNP anyway.

* update the odls to report process states directly into the active errmgr module, thus removing the need to send messages looped back into the odls cmd processor. Let the active errmgr module decide what to do at various states.

* remove the code to track application state progress from the plm_base_launch_support.c code. Update the plm modules to call the errmgr directly when a launch fails.

* update the plm_base_receive.c code to call the errmgr with state updates from remote daemons

* update the routed modules to reflect that process state is updated in the errmgr

* ensure that the orted's open the errmgr and select their appropriate module

* add new pretty-print utilities to print process and job state. Move the pretty-print of time info to a globally-accessible place

* define a global orte_comm function to send messages from orted's to the HNP so that others can overlay the standard RML methods, if desired.

* update the orterun help output to reflect that the "term w/o sync" error message can result from three, not two, scenarios

13d86e100b Courtesy of Ralph and Jeff:
Continue the reorganization of the configure system. Move files from the main config directory to their appropriate level-specific config directories. Modify the configure system to correctly handle compiler detection, test, and setup so that all things pertaining to opal and orte are done at the lower level, with the ompi configure system only looking at mpi-specific options.

Ensure the wrapper compilers for orte and ompi only get built when appropriate. Add support for c++ to the orte wrapper compilers, both script and non-script versions.

b97f885c00 Restore the original API to terminate individual processes instead of the entire job. This was originally removed as we didn't at that time know how to take advantage of it.

f139cfd28a Fully enable the use of static ports to minimize connections on mpirun. When static ports are provided, daemons will automatically use routes defined by the selected routed module to callback to mpirun during startup, thus elimating the dedicated daemon-to-mpirun connection. Therefore, the total number of connections on mpirun will equal the fanout of the routed module (instead of #nodes in job).
Add a new tm ess module that exploits this capability.

Update the various plm modules to enable it - just a minor change reflecting an added param to a plm base function.

Additional fixes included:

1. remove an erroneous cleanup of session directories in the tool finalize procedure - tools don't create session directories to begin with!

2. fix a duplicate free when attempting to execute a non-existent app

3. cleanup an typo in the comm utilities 

4. fix comm_spawn - was perturbed by the changes in pack/unpack of orte_job_t to properly support orte-ps

Been tested on slurm and tm machines, using all tests in orte/test/mpi. May run into issue with command line length on large jobs due to inclusion of node info to support static ports - will fix this next with addition of regexp generator to compress that info.

c45ff0d59f Take the next step towards fully utilizing static ports for the daemons to eliminate the initial "phone home" to mpirun by modifying the orted termination procedure to eliminate the need for a full barrier-like operation. Instead, we add a "onesided" barrier to the grpcomm framework API that releases the orted once it has completed its own contribution to the barrier - i.e., the orteds now exit as the "ack" message rolls up towards mpirun instead of sending the "ack" directly to mpirun.
This causes the orteds in the routing tree to remain alive until all termination "acks" from orteds below them have passed through. Thus, if we use static ports, we no longer require a direct orted-to-mpirun connection.

Also modify the binomial routed module so it conforms to what all the other routed modules do and have all messages pass along the routing tree instead of short-circuiting between orteds. This further reduces the number of ports being opened on backend nodes.

f54fda489e This is a first step towards supporting fully-routed OOB communications:
1. remove direct routed module (hooray!)

2. add radix tree routed module (binomial remains default)

3. remove duplicate data storage - orteds were storing nidmap and pidmap data in odls, everyone else in ess

4. add ess APIs to update nidmap, add new pidmap - used only by orteds for MPI-2 support

5. modify code to eliminate multiple calls to orte_routed.update_route that recreated info already in ess pidmap. Add ess API to lookup that info instead. Modify routed modules to utilize that capability

6. setup new ability to shutdown orteds without sending back an "ack" message to mpirun - not utilized yet, will require some changes to plm terminate_orteds functions in managed environments (coming soon)

Initial tests indicating that fully routing comm via defined routing trees may not actually have a significant cost for operations like IB QP setup. More tests required to confirm.

This will require an autogen...

This needs some soak time to ensure we haven't opened any race conditions. I tried to loop everything in the shutdown procedure through that trigger event call to ensure it all goes through the one-time locks as it did before so that someone hitting ctrl-c when we are already shutting down shouldn't cause problems.

a62b2a0150 Per the July technical meeting:
Standardize the handling of the orte launch agent option across PLMs. This has been a consistent complaint I have received - each PLM would register its own MCA param to get input on the launch agent for remote nodes (in fact, one or two didn't, but most did). This would then get handled in various and contradictory ways.

Some PLMs would accept only a one-word input. Others accepted multi-word args such as "valgrind orted", but then some would error by putting any prefix specified on the cmd line in front of the incorrect argument.

For example, while using the rsh launcher, if you specified "valgrind orted" as your launch agent and had "--prefix foo" on you cmd line, you would attempt to execute "ssh foo/valgrind orted" - which obviously wouldn't work.

This was all -very- confusing to users, who had to know which PLM was being used so they could even set the right mca param in the first place! And since we don't warn about non-recognized or non-used mca params, half of the time they would wind up not doing what they thought they were telling us to do.

To solve this problem, we did the following:

1. removed all mca params from the individual plms for the launch agent

2. added a new mca param "orte_launch_agent" for this purpose. To further simplify for users, this comes with a new cmd line option "--launch-agent" that can take a multi-word string argument. The value of the param defaults to "orted".

3. added a PLM base function that processes the orte_launch_agent value and adds the contents to a provided argv array. This can subsequently be harvested at-will to handle multi-word values

4. modified the PLMs to use this new function. All the PLMs except for the rsh PLM required very minor change - just called the function and moved on. The rsh PLM required much larger changes as - because of the rsh/ssh cmd line limitations - we had to correctly prepend any provided prefix to the correct argv entry.

5. added a new opal_argv_join_range function that allows the caller to "join" argv entries between two specified indices

Please let me know of any problems. I tried to make this as clean as possible, but cannot compile all PLMs to ensure all is correct.

f799ea225f Orterun creates a "clean" copy of its environment for use in launching procs. This includes properly setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH, among other things. Unfortunately, our PLM modules were using the local environ instead of the saved copy, thus missing a number of things that really should have been included. From what I see, we got away with the error because the PLM's were duplicating all that setup logic themselves - I'll clean this up over the next few days.
Meantime, correct the PLM's so they use the correct environ for launching.

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.

7bee71aa59 Fix a potential, albeit perhaps esoteric, race condition that can occur for fast HNP's, slow orteds, and fast apps. Under those conditions, it is possible for the orted to be caught in its original send of contact info back to the HNP, and thus for the progress stack never to recover back to a high level. In those circumstances, the orted can "hang" when trying to exit.
Add a new function to opal_progress that tells us our recursion depth to support that solution.

Yes, I know this sounds picky, but good ol' Jeff managed to make it happen by driving his cluster near to death...

Also ensure that we declare "failed" for the daemon job when daemons fail instead of the application job. This is important so that orte knows that it cannot use xcast to tell daemons to "exit", nor should it expect all daemons to respond. Otherwise, it is possible to hang.

After lots of testing, decide to default (again) to slurm detecting failed orteds. This proved necessary to avoid rather annoying hangs that were difficult to recover from. There are conditions where slurm will fail to launch all daemons (slurm folks are working on it), and yet again, good ol' Jeff managed to find both of them.

Thanks you Jeff! :-/

b456fb2d42 Upgrade the node/orted failure detection code to cover all environments. Use the native environment's capabilities where possible - e.g., SLURM detects orted failure and can report it. Elsewhere, use a heartbeat system to detect orted failure - e.g., for TM and rsh. Heart rate is set via mca param. The HNP checks for callback every 2*heartrate, declares orted failure if not seen in last 2*heartrate time.
Also detect orted failed-to-start by setting timeout on launch. Currently only used in TM launcher.

Neither detection is enabled by default, but are only active if heartrate is set and/or launch timeout is set. Exception for SLURM as orted failure is always detected and reported.

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.

http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2008/04/3779.php

{{{
svn merge -r 18276:18380 https://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/tmp-public/jjh-mca-play .
}}}

Any components not in the trunk, but in one of the effected frameworks *must* be
updated. Contact the list, look at the RFC, or look at the diff for how to do this.

Sorry for the early commit of this, but I wanted to get it in today (per RFC) and
didn't know if I would have a chance later today.
