This commit fixes several vagrind errors. Included:
- installdirs did not correctly reinitialize all pointers to NULL
at close. This causes valgrind errors on a subsequent call to
opal_init_tool.
- several opal strings were leaked by opal_deregister_params which
was setting them to NULL instead of letting them be freed by the
MCA variable system.
- move opal_net_init to AFTER the variable system is initialized and
opal's MCA variables have been registered. opal_net_init uses a
variable registered by opal_register_params!
- do not leak ompi_mpi_main_thread when it is allocated by
MPI_T_init_thread.
- do not overwrite ompi_mpi_main_thread if it is already set (by
MPI_T_init_thread).
- mca_base_var: read_files was overwritting mca_base_var_file_list
even if it was non-NULL.
- mca_base_var: set all file global variables to initial states on
finalize.
- btl/vader: decrement enumerator reference count to ensure that it
is freed.

We recognize that this means other users of OPAL will need to "wrap" the opal_process_name_t if they desire to abstract it in some fashion. This is regrettable, and we are looking at possible alternatives that might mitigate that requirement. Meantime, however, we have to put the needs of the OMPI community first, and are taking this step to restore hetero and SPARC support.
Properly setup the opal_process_info structure early in the initialization procedure. Define the local hostname right at the beginning of opal_init so all parts of opal can use it. Overlay that during orte_init as the user may choose to remove fqdn and strip prefixes during that time. Setup the job_session_dir and other such info immediately when it becomes available during orte_init.
Replace our old, clunky timing setup with a much nicer one that is only available if configured with --enable-timing. Add a tool for profiling clock differences between the nodes so you can get more precise timing measurements. I'll ask Artem to update the Github wiki with full instructions on how to use this setup.

WHAT: Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
server-to-server collectives
WHY: We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
requirements.
WHEN: Mon, Aug 25
WHERE: https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git
Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.
All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.
Accordingly, we have:
* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.
* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.
* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint
* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code
* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.
* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand

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.
This commit was SVN r32317.
We have been getting several requests for new collectives that need to be inserted in various places of the MPI layer, all in support of either checkpoint/restart or various research efforts. Until now, this would require that the collective id's be generated at launch. which required modification
s to ORTE and other places. We chose not to make collectives reusable as the race conditions associated with resetting collective counters are daunti
ng.
This commit extends the collective system to allow self-generation of collective id's that the daemons need to support, thereby allowing developers to request any number of collectives for their work. There is one restriction: RTE collectives must occur at the process level - i.e., we don't curren
tly have a way of tagging the collective to a specific thread. From the comment in the code:
* In order to allow scalable
* generation of collective id's, they are formed as:
*
* top 32-bits are the jobid of the procs involved in
* the collective. For collectives across multiple jobs
* (e.g., in a connect_accept), the daemon jobid will
* be used as the id will be issued by mpirun. This
* won't cause problems because daemons don't use the
* collective_id
*
* bottom 32-bits are a rolling counter that recycles
* when the max is hit. The daemon will cleanup each
* collective upon completion, so this means a job can
* never have more than 2**32 collectives going on at
* a time. If someone needs more than that - they've got
* a problem.
*
* Note that this means (for now) that RTE-level collectives
* cannot be done by individual threads - they must be
* done at the overall process level. This is required as
* there is no guaranteed ordering for the collective id's,
* and all the participants must agree on the id of the
* collective they are executing. So if thread A on one
* process asks for a collective id before thread B does,
* but B asks before A on another process, the collectives will
* be mixed and not result in the expected behavior. We may
* find a way to relax this requirement in the future by
* adding a thread context id to the jobid field (maybe taking the
* lower 16-bits of that field).
This commit includes a test program (orte/test/mpi/coll_test.c) that cycles 100 times across barrier and modex collectives.

Added a non-blocking version of ompi_comm_set to support ompi_comm_idup.
The call makes a recursive call to comm_dup and a non-blocking version

*** THIS RFC INCLUDES A MINOR CHANGE TO THE MPI-RTE INTERFACE ***
Note: during the course of this work, it was necessary to completely separate the MPI and RTE progress engines. There were multiple places in the MPI layer where ORTE_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION was being used. A new OMPI_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION macro was created (defined in ompi/mca/rte/rte.h) that simply cycles across opal_progress until the provided flag becomes false. Places where the MPI layer blocked waiting for RTE to complete an event have been modified to use this macro.
***************************************************************************************
I am reissuing this RFC because of the time that has passed since its original release. Since its initial release and review, I have debugged it further to ensure it fully supports tests like loop_spawn. It therefore seems ready for merge back to the trunk. Given its prior review, I have set the timeout for one week.

WHAT: Rewrite of ORTE OOB
WHY: Support asynchronous progress and a host of other features
WHEN: Wed, August 21
SYNOPSIS:
The current OOB has served us well, but a number of limitations have been identified over the years. Specifically:
* it is only progressed when called via opal_progress, which can lead to hangs or recursive calls into libevent (which is not supported by that code)
* we've had issues when multiple NICs are available as the code doesn't "shift" messages between transports - thus, all nodes had to be available via the same TCP interface.
* the OOB "unloads" incoming opal_buffer_t objects during the transmission, thus preventing use of OBJ_RETAIN in the code when repeatedly sending the same message to multiple recipients
* there is no failover mechanism across NICs - if the selected NIC (or its attached switch) fails, we are forced to abort
* only one transport (i.e., component) can be "active"
The revised OOB resolves these problems:
* async progress is used for all application processes, with the progress thread blocking in the event library
* each available TCP NIC is supported by its own TCP module. The ability to asynchronously progress each module independently is provided, but not enabled by default (a runtime MCA parameter turns it "on")
* multi-address TCP NICs (e.g., a NIC with both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, or with virtual interfaces) are supported - reachability is determined by comparing the contact info for a peer against all addresses within the range covered by the address/mask pairs for the NIC.
* a message that arrives on one TCP NIC is automatically shifted to whatever NIC that is connected to the next "hop" if that peer cannot be reached by the incoming NIC. If no TCP module will reach the peer, then the OOB attempts to send the message via all other available components - if none can reach the peer, then an "error" is reported back to the RML, which then calls the errmgr for instructions.
* opal_buffer_t now conforms to standard object rules re OBJ_RETAIN as we no longer "unload" the incoming object
* NIC failure is reported to the TCP component, which then tries to resend the message across any other available TCP NIC. If that doesn't work, then the message is given back to the OOB base to try using other components. If all that fails, then the error is reported to the RML, which reports to the errmgr for instructions
* obviously from the above, multiple OOB components (e.g., TCP and UD) can be active in parallel
* the matching code has been moved to the RML (and out of the OOB/TCP component) so it is independent of transport
* routing is done by the individual OOB modules (as opposed to the RML). Thus, both routed and non-routed transports can simultaneously be active
* all blocking send/recv APIs have been removed. Everything operates asynchronously.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
* although provision is made for component failover as described above, the code for doing so has not been fully implemented yet. At the moment, if all connections for a given peer fail, the errmgr is notified of a "lost connection", which by default results in termination of the job if it was a lifeline
* the IPv6 code is present and compiles, but is not complete. Since the current IPv6 support in the OOB doesn't work anyway, I don't consider this a blocker
* routing is performed at the individual module level, yet the active routed component is selected on a global basis. We probably should update that to reflect that different transports may need/choose to route in different ways
* obviously, not every error path has been tested nor necessarily covered
* determining abnormal termination is more challenging than in the old code as we now potentially have multiple ways of connecting to a process. Ideally, we would declare "connection failed" when *all* transports can no longer reach the process, but that requires some additional (possibly complex) code. For now, the code replicates the old behavior only somewhat modified - i.e., if a module sees its connection fail, it checks to see if it is a lifeline. If so, it notifies the errmgr that the lifeline is lost - otherwise, it notifies the errmgr that a non-lifeline connection was lost.
* reachability is determined solely on the basis of a shared subnet address/mask - more sophisticated algorithms (e.g., the one used in the tcp btl) are required to handle routing via gateways
* the RML needs to assign sequence numbers to each message on a per-peer basis. The receiving RML will then deliver messages in order, thus preventing out-of-order messaging in the case where messages travel across different transports or a message needs to be redirected/resent due to failure of a NIC
This commit was SVN r29058.
George and I were talking about ORTE's error handling the other day in regards to the right way to deal with errors in the updated OOB. Specifically, it seemed a bad idea for a library such as ORTE to be aborting the job on its own prerogative. If we lose a connection or cannot send a message, then we really should just report it upwards and let the application and/or upper layers decide what to do about it.
The current code base only allows a single error callback to exist, which seemed unduly limiting. So, based on the conversation, I've modified the errmgr interface to provide a mechanism for registering any number of error handlers (this replaces the current "set_fault_callback" API). When an error occurs, these handlers will be called in order until one responds that the error has been "resolved" - i.e., no further action is required - by returning OMPI_SUCCESS. The default MPI layer error handler is specified to go "last" and calls mpi_abort, so the current "abort" behavior is preserved unless other error handlers are registered.
In the register_callback function, I provide an "order" param so you can specify "this callback must come first" or "this callback must come last". Seemed to me that we will probably have different code areas registering callbacks, and one might require it go first (the default "abort" will always require it go last). So you can append and prepend, or go first. Note that only one registration can declare itself "first" or "last", and since the default "abort" callback automatically takes "last", that one isn't available. :-)
The errhandler callback function passes an opal_pointer_array of structs, each of which contains the name of the proc involved (which can be yourself for internal errors) and the error code. This is a change from the current fault callback which returned an opal_pointer_array of just process names. Rationale is that you might need to see the cause of the error to decide what action to take. I realize that isn't a requirement for remote procs, but remember that we will use the SAME interface to report RTE errors internal to the proc itself. In those cases, you really do need to see the error code. It is legal to pass a NULL for the pointer array (e.g., when reporting an internal failure without error code), so handlers must be prepared for that possibility. If people find that too burdensome, we can remove it.
Should we ever decide to create a separate callback path for internal errors vs remote process failures, or if we decide to do something different based on experience, then we can adjust this API.
This commit was SVN r28852.
This patch reshape the way we deal with topologies completely. Where
our topologies were mainly storage components (they were not capable
of creating the new communicator), the new version is built around a
[possibly] common representation (in mca/topo/topo.h), but the functions
to attach and retrieve the topological information are specific to each
component. As a result the ompi_create_cart and ompi_create_graph functions
become useless and have been removed.
In addition to adding the internal infrastructure to manage the topology
information, it updates the MPI interface, and the debuggers support and
provides all Fortran interfaces.
This commit was SVN r28687.
Notes:
- This commit also eliminates the need for an available components list in use
in several frameworks. None of the code in question was making use of the
priority field of the priority component list item so these extra lists were
removed.
- Cleaned up selection code in several frameworks to sort lists using opal_list_sort.
- Cleans up the ompi/orte-info functions. Expose the functions that construct the
list of params so they can be used elsewhere.
patches for mtl/portals4 from brian
missed a few output variables in openib
This commit was SVN r28241.
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().

aren't separated out into individual commits; they represent a few
months of work in the Mercurial branch, and it seemed error-prone to
try to break them up into multiple SVN commits.
* Remove 2nd overloaded interfaces for MPI_TESTALL, MPI_TESTSOME,
MPI_WAITALL, and MPI_WAITSOME in the "mpi" module implementations
(because we're not allowed to have them, anyway -- it causes
complications in the profiling interface). This forced an MPI-2.2
errata in the MPI Forum; we applied the errata here (the array of
statuses parameter could not have a specific dimension specified in
the dummy argument). Fixes trac:3166.
* Similarly, fix type for MPI_ARGVS_NULL in Fortran
* Add MPI_3.0 function MPI_F_SYNC_REG (Fortran interfaces only).
* Add MPI-3.0 MPI_MESSAGE_NO_PROC in the mpi_f08 module.
* Added mpi_f08 handle comparison operators, per MPI-3.0 addendum to
the F08 proposal at the last Forum meeting.
* Added missing type(MPI_File) and type(Message) in mpi_f08 module.
* Fix --disable-mpi-io configure switch with all Fortran interfaces
* Re-factor the Fortran header files to be fundamentally simpler and
easier to maintain. Fortran constant values in the header files
are now generated by a script named mpif-values.pl during
autogen.pl (they were previously generated by mpif-common.pl, but
it was quite a bit more subtle/complex). A second commit will
follow this one to update svn:ignore values (just to ensure we
don't muck up the first commit with the SVN client getting confused
by the changed ignore values and new/changed files).
* Fix some dependencies for compile ordering in
ompi/mpi/fortran/use-mpi-ignore-tkr/Makefile.am.
* Fix bad wording in several places (.m4 file name, ompi_info output,
etc.): we previoulsy said "F08 assumed shape" when we really meant
"F08 assumed rank" (for Fortran gurus, those are very different
things).
* Removed the GREEK/SVN version string from mpif.h. It really had no
purpose being there.
Still to be done:
* Handling of 2D array of strings in MPI_COMM_SPAWN_MULTIPLE still
isn't right yet. Not sure how many people really care about this
:-), but it is still broken.

* Remove paffinity, maffinity, and carto frameworks -- they've been
wholly replaced by hwloc.
* Move ompi_mpi_init() affinity-setting/checking code down to ORTE.
* Update sm, smcuda, wv, and openib components to no longer use carto.
Instead, use hwloc data. There are still optimizations possible in
the sm/smcuda BTLs (i.e., making multiple mpools). Also, the old
carto-based code found out how many NUMA nodes were ''available''
-- not how many were used ''in this job''. The new hwloc-using
code computes the same value -- it was not updated to calculate how
many NUMA nodes are used ''by this job.''
* Note that I cannot compile the smcuda and wv BTLs -- I ''think''
they're right, but they need to be verified by their owners.
* The openib component now does a bunch of stuff to figure out where
"near" OpenFabrics devices are. '''THIS IS A CHANGE IN DEFAULT
BEHAVIOR!!''' and still needs to be verified by OpenFabrics vendors
(I do not have a NUMA machine with an OpenFabrics device that is a
non-uniform distance from multiple different NUMA nodes).
* Completely rewrite the OMPI_Affinity_str() routine from the
"affinity" mpiext extension. This extension now understands
hyperthreads; the output format of it has changed a bit to reflect
this new information.
* Bunches of minor changes around the code base to update names/types
from maffinity/paffinity-based names to hwloc-based names.
* Add some helper functions into the hwloc base, mainly having to do
with the fact that we have the hwloc data reporting ''all''
topology information, but sometimes you really only want the
(online | available) data.

This stuff is coming from a VERY long-lived mercurial branch (3 years!); it'll almost certainly take a few SVN commits and a bunch of testing before I get it correctly committed to the SVN trunk.
== More details ==
Craig Rasmussen and I have been working with the MPI-3 Fortran WG and Fortran J3 committees for a long, long time to make a prototype MPI-3 Fortran bindings implementation. We think we're at a stable enough state to bring this stuff back to the trunk, with the goal of including it in OMPI v1.7.
Special thanks go out to everyone who has been incredibly patient and helpful to us in this journey:
* Rolf Rabenseifner/HLRS (mastermind/genius behind the entire MPI-3 Fortran effort)
* The Fortran J3 committee
* Tobias Burnus/gfortran
* Tony !Goetz/Absoft
* Terry !Donte/Oracle
* ...and probably others whom I'm forgetting :-(
There's still opportunities for optimization in the mpi_f08 implementation, but by and large, it is as far along as it can be until Fortran compilers start implementing the new F08 dimension(..) syntax.
Note that gfortran is currently unsupported for the mpi_f08 module and the new mpi module. gfortran users will a) fall back to the same mpi module implementation that is in OMPI v1.5.x, and b) not get the new mpi_f08 module. The gfortran maintainers are actively working hard to add the necessary features to support both the new mpi_f08 module and the new mpi module implementations. This will take some time.
As mentioned above, ompi/mpi/f77 and ompi/mpi/f90 no longer exist. All the fortran bindings implementations have been collated under ompi/mpi/fortran; each implementation has its own subdirectory:
{{{
ompi/mpi/fortran/
base/ - glue code
mpif-h/ - what used to be ompi/mpi/f77
use-mpi-tkr/ - what used to be ompi/mpi/f90
use-mpi-ignore-tkr/ - new mpi module implementation
use-mpi-f08/ - new mpi_f08 module implementation
}}}
There's also a prototype 6-function-MPI implementation under use-mpi-f08-desc that emulates the new F08 dimension(..) syntax that isn't fully available in Fortran compilers yet. We did that to prove it to ourselves that it could be done once the compilers fully support it. This directory/implementation will likely eventually replace the use-mpi-f08 version.
Other things that were done:
* ompi_info grew a few new output fields to describe what level of Fortran support is included
* Existing Fortran examples in examples/ were renamed; new mpi_f08 examples were added
* The old Fortran MPI libraries were renamed:
* libmpi_f77 -> libmpi_mpifh
* libmpi_f90 -> libmpi_usempi
* The configury for Fortran was consolidated and significantly slimmed down. Note that the F77 env variable is now IGNORED for configure; you should only use FC. Example:
{{{
shell$ ./configure CC=icc CXX=icpc FC=ifort ...
}}}
All of this work was done in a Mercurial branch off the SVN trunk, and hosted at Bitbucket. This branch has got to be one of OMPI's longest-running branches. Its first commit was Tue Apr 07 23:01:46 2009 -0400 -- it's over 3 years old! :-) We think we've pulled in all relevant changes from the OMPI trunk (e.g., Fortran implementations of the new MPI-3 MPROBE stuff for mpif.h, use mpi, and use mpi_f08, and the recent Fujitsu Fortran patches).
I anticipate some instability when we bring this stuff into the trunk, simply because it touches a LOT of code in the MPI layer in the OMPI code base. We'll try our best to make it as pain-free as possible, but please bear with us when it is committed.

Roll in the ORTE state machine. Remove last traces of opal_sos. Remove UTK epoch code.
Please see the various emails about the state machine change for details. I'll send something out later with more info on the new arch.

1. no binding support - indicated by a negative return code from get_cpubind
2. binding supported, but not bound - the bitset returned by get_cpubind is the same as the available cpuset
3. binding supported and bound - bitset from get_cpubind is a subset of available cpuset
4. only one cpu is available - in this case, get_cpubind matches the available cpuset, but we are effectively bound

The wiki page is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to complete it over the next few days. I will provide updates on the devel list. As the wiki page states, the default and most commonly used options remain unchanged (except as noted below). New, esoteric and complex options have been added, but unless you are a true masochist, you are unlikely to use many of them beyond perhaps an initial curiosity-motivated experimentation.
In a nutshell, this commit revamps the map/rank/bind procedure to take into account topology info on the compute nodes. I have, for the most part, preserved the default behaviors, with three notable exceptions:
1. I have at long last bowed my head in submission to the system admin's of managed clusters. For years, they have complained about our default of allowing users to oversubscribe nodes - i.e., to run more processes on a node than allocated slots. Accordingly, I have modified the default behavior: if you are running off of hostfile/dash-host allocated nodes, then the default is to allow oversubscription. If you are running off of RM-allocated nodes, then the default is to NOT allow oversubscription. Flags to override these behaviors are provided, so this only affects the default behavior.
2. both cpus/rank and stride have been removed. The latter was demanded by those who didn't understand the purpose behind it - and I agreed as the users who requested it are no longer using it. The former was removed temporarily pending implementation.
3. vm launch is now the sole method for starting OMPI. It was just too darned hard to maintain multiple launch procedures - maybe someday, provided someone can demonstrate a reason to do so.
As Jeff stated, it is impossible to fully test a change of this size. I have tested it on Linux and Mac, covering all the default and simple options, singletons, and comm_spawn. That said, I'm sure others will find problems, so I'll be watching MTT results until this stabilizes.

Use hwloc to obtain the cpuset for each process during mpi_init, and share that info in the modex. As it arrives, use a new opal_hwloc_base utility function to parse the value against the local proc's cpuset and determine where they overlap. Cache the value in the pmap object as it may be referenced multiple times.
Thus, the return value from orte_ess.proc_get_locality is a 16-bit bitmask that describes the resources being shared with you. This bitmask can be tested using the macros in opal/mca/paffinity/paffinity.h
Locality is available for all procs, whether launched via mpirun or directly with an external launcher such as slurm or aprun.

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.

MPI_INIT and start of MPI_FINALIZE.
* Clean up MPI Extensions build system to acknowledge that OMPI's the only
project with extensions, as well as remove some build artifacts necessary
for more general components.
This commit was SVN r23616.
* If < 0, it's an OPAL_ERR_* value
* If >= 0, it's the actual output value of the function
This is problematic for the OPAL_SOS stuff. This commit changes those
functions to always return OPAL_* statuses and send the output value
back through output parameters (like 95% of the rest of the code
base). This avoids the confusion with OPAL_SOS stuff and makes
paffinity work again (e.g., mpirun --bind-to-core ...).
I updated all paffinitiy modules for the new function signatures, and
bumped the paffinity API version up to 2.0.1. I don't think the
version change will matter, though, because we'll be introducing
support for hardware threads soon, which will either bump the
paffinity version again or we'll replace paffinity with
a new framework.
This commit was SVN r23197.
(OMPI_ERR_* = OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE(ret)), since the return value could be a
SOS-encoded error. The OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE() takes in a SOS error and returns
back the native error code.
* Since OPAL_SUCCESS is preserved by SOS, also change all calls of the form
(OPAL_ERROR == ret) to (OPAL_SUCCESS != ret). We thus avoid having to
decode 'ret' to get the native error code.

Remove the --enable-progress-threads option as this is no longer functional, and hardcode OPAL_ENABLE_PROGRESS_THREADS to 0.
Replace the --enable-mpi-threads option with --enable-mpi-thread-multiple as this is clearer as to meaning. This option automatically turns "on" opal thread support if it wasn't already so specified. If the user specifies --disable-opal-multi-threads --enable-mpi-thread-multiple, we will error out with a message
Add a new --enable-opal-multi-threads option that turns "on" opal thread support without doing anything wrt mpi-thread-multiple

Many of the OPAL_ENABLE_FT should be OPAL_ENABLE_FT_CR, so fix those.
The OPAL Layer INC should call opal_output on restart so that it can refresh the string it prints to reflect the current pid/hostname which may have changed.

friends also receive &argc and &argv (George asked Jeff to Ralph to
review before committing). The thought is that passing argv and argc
to opal/orte_init be useful to other projects outside of OMPI that are
using OPAL and/or ORTE (especially in conjunction with some other
bootstrapping code where it is helpful to modify argv). It's such a
small thing that it's easy to apply here to make others' lives a
little easier.
Ask George for more details; I'm just the messenger. :-)
Judging by the copyrights on this patch, it's been around for a
while. :-)

different processes have requested different levels of thread support. This
verification is restricted to MPI_COMM_WORLD.
In case one ore more processes have requested support for MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE,
the cid selection algorithm will fall back to the original, thread safe
approach. Else, it uses the block-algorithm.
For dynamic communicators, we always fall back now to the original algorithm.
This has been tested for homogeneous and heterogeneous settings for
MCW. However, I could not test yet the dynamic comm scenario for technical
reasons, and that's why I don't close yet ticket 1949.
This commit was SVN r21613.
Revamp the affinity detection/set procedure in mpi_init to correctly detect when we have already been bound to processors, given the revised understanding of paffinity_get. Add a new paffinity macro to make checking for already bound a little nicer.
This commit was SVN r21402.
1. replacing mpi_paffinity_alone with opal_paffinity_alone - for back-compatibility, I have aliased mpi_paffinity_alone to the new param name. This caus
es a mild abstraction break in the opal/mca/paffinity framework - per the devel discussion...live with it. :-) I also moved the ompi_xxx global variable
that tracked maffinity setup so it could be properly closed in MPI_Finalize to the opal/mca/maffinity framework to avoid an abstraction break.
2. Added code to the odls/default module to perform paffinity binding and maffinity init between process fork and exec. This has been tested on IU's odi
n cluster and works for both MPI and non-MPI apps.
3. Revise MPI_Init to detect if affinity has already been set, and to attempt to set it if not already done. I have *not* tested this as I haven't yet f
igured out a way to do so - I couldn't get slurm to perform cpu bindings, even though it supposedly does do so.
This has only been lightly tested and would definitely benefit from a wider range of evaluation...
