WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.

pkg{data,lib,includedir}, use our own ompi{data,lib,includedir}, which is
always set to {datadir,libdir,includedir}/openmpi. This will keep us from
having help files in prefix/share/open-rte when building without Open MPI,
but in prefix/share/openmpi when building with Open MPI.

* Puts the DO_DEBUG macros back in the .c files, because they are

and extern'ed s an int in another. This caused a SIBGUS on
Solaris/SPARC.
This commit properly moves the extern to a .h file so that it's the
same in all files. It also moves the DO_DEBUG to the header file,
because it was defined to the same thing in multiple .c files.

predefined datatype. Once set there is was unable to provide the
second part of the datatype. This fix force the convertor to be
aligned on predefined datatypes boundaries for any non-contiguous

This commit changes the underlying opal complex datatypes to match the
C99 types: float _Complex, double _Complex, and long double _Complex. The
fortran and C++ types now are aliases to these basic types instead of
structure types. The operators in ompi/mca/op/base now work on only the
C99 types and the fortran types use these operators if the fortran type
matches a C complex type (this should almost always be the case.)
C99 is not is use in both the datatype and operator code and should make
the code both cleaner and much less fragile.

Add support for MPI_Count type and MPI_COUNT datatype and add the required
MPI-3 functions MPI_Get_elements_x, MPI_Status_set_elements_x,
MPI_Type_get_extent_x, MPI_Type_get_true_extent_x, and MPI_Type_size_x.
This commit adds only the C bindings. Fortran bindins will be added in
another commit. For now the MPI_Count type is define to have the same size
as MPI_Offset. The type is required to be at least as large as MPI_Offset
and MPI_Aint. The type was initially intended to be a ssize_t (if it was
the same size as a long long) but there were issues compiling romio with
that definition (despite the inclusion of stddef.h).
I updated the datatype engine to use size_t instead of uint32_t to support
large datatypes. This will require some review to make sure that 1) the
changes are beneficial, 2) nothing was broken by the change (I doubt
anything was), and 3) there are no performance regressions due to this
change.
Increase the maximum number of predifined datatypes to support MPI_Count
Put common get_elements code to ompi/datatype/ompi_datatype_get_elements.c
Update MPI_Get_count to reflect changes in MPI-3 (return MPI_UNDEFINED when the count is too large for an int)

http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2013/04/21689.php, the
assert in opal_datatype_is_contiguous_memory_layout() is not always
correct -- he supplied a test case where it was not valid,
essentially:
1. Call MPI_Type_create_indexed_block(0, ..., &newtype) and commit newtype
1. Call MPI_Type_create_resized(newtype, 0, nonzero_value, &resized) and commit resized
1. Call MPI_File_set_view with resized
This will eventually call opal_datatype_is_contiguous_memory_layout(),
and the assert will fail. After some consultation with George, it was
determined that the assert() is basically good, but it needs to also
check for (count != 0).

representation is not correctly optimized (it is off by the extend).
During the data representation process, if the opportunity to merge several
items appear, we replace them with the new merged element. However, if one
of the components of this merged element was comming from a "loop representation"
then the new first element of this loop must have a displacement moved by the
extent of the loop.

Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.

actually care if opal_pointer_array is limited to handle_max already passes
that in as the max_size during init, so don't need it there. The arch
constant was a bit more difficult, so pass that in during MPI init and
leave empty otherwise.
This is to help with the effort to allow building ompi against an external
opal or orte.
