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.

Some MPI C interface files saw some spacing changes to conform to the coding standards of Open MPI.
Changed MPI C interface files to use {{{OPAL_CR_ENTER_LIBRARY()}}} and {{{OPAL_CR_EXIT_LIBRARY()}}} instead of just {{{OPAL_CR_TEST_CHECKPOINT_READY()}}}. This will allow the checkpoint/restart system more flexibility in how it is to behave.
Fixed the configure check for {{{--enable-ft-thread}}} so it has a know dependance on {{{--enable-mpi-thread}}} (and/or {{{--enable-progress-thread}}}).
Added a line for Checkpoint/Restart support to {{{ompi_info}}}.
Added some options to choose at runtime whether or not to use the checkpoint polling thread. By default, if the user asked for it to be compiled in, then it is used. But some users will want the ability to toggle its use at runtime.
There are still some places for improvement, but the feature works correctly. As always with Checkpoint/Restart, it is compiled out unless explicitly asked for at configure time. Further, if it was configured in, then it is not used unless explicitly asked for by the user at runtime.

By default, the ident string used is the standard Open MPI version string. Only
the following libraries will get the embedded version strings (e.g., DSOs will
not):
* libmpi.so
* libmpi_cxx.so
* libmpi_f77.so

environment variables corresopnding to framework MCA parameters so
that the opal MCA base loads '''all''' components (not just the ones
specified in the environment variables). This has the side-effect of
not showing the user's value when displaying the framework MCA
parameters via --param output. For example:
{{{
shell% setenv OMPI_MCA_btl foo
shell% ompi_info --param btl base
}}}
The above sequence would show a "<none>" value for the "btl" parameter
instead of "foo".
This commit restores the environment after we munge it to make the
loader load all components. Hence, the above command sequence will
show "foo" for the "btl" parameter value, not "<none>".

Short version of new features:
* Support for ibv_fork_init()
* Automatically fill in the openib BTL bandwidth value by

* Installdirs functionality
* Fixes to always use -I in the Fortran wrapper compilers (#924)
* Gleb's mpool updates
* Remove some kruft in btl/openib/configure.m4, therefore

- Only install opal{cc,c++} and orte{cc,c++} if configured with
--with-devel-headers. Right now, they are always installed, but
there are no header files installed for either project, so there's
really not much way for a user to actually compile an OPAL / ORTE
application.
- Drop support for opalCC and orteCC. It's a pain to setup all the
symlinks (indeed, they are currently done wrong for opalCC) and
there's no history like there is for mpiCC.
- Change what is currently opalcc.1 to opal_wrapper.1 and add some
macros that get sed'ed so that the man pages appear to be
customized for the given command.
- Install the wrapper data files even if we compiled with
--disable-binaries. This is for the use case of doing multi-lib
builds, where one word size will only have the library built, but
we need both set of wrapper data files to piece together to
activate the multi-lib support in the wrapper compilers.

Add --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default (and a synonym:
--enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default) to make orterun always behave as if
"--prefix $prefix" was given on the command line (where $prefix is the
value given to the --prefix option to configure). This prevents many
rsh/ssh users from needing to modify their shell startup files to set
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Open MPI (they will still need to set PATH or
otherwise find the OMPI executables to mpicc/mpirun/etc. their MPI
applications).
Also added --noprefix option to orterun to disable this behavior.
Finally, note that even if --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default is
specified, if the user specifies --prefix or /path/to/mpirun, these
options will override the default value of the prefix ($prefix).

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, instead of the deprecated version.
* Work around dumbness in modern AC_INIT that requires the version
number to be set at autoconf time (instead of at configure time, as
it was before). Set the version number, minus the subversion r number,
at autoconf time. Override the internal variables to include the r
number (if needed) at configure time. Basically, the right thing
should always happen. The only place it might not is the version
reported as part of configure --help will not have an r number.
* Since AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE taks a list of options, no need to specify
them in all the Makefile.am files.
* Addes support for subdir-objects, meaning that object files are put
in the directory containing source files, even if the Makefile.am is
in another directory. This should start making it feasible to
reduce the number of Makefile.am files we have in the tree, which
will greatly reduce the time to run autogen and configure.

indicating that the MCA parameter is "global". --gmca also means
that that MCA parameter will be applied to all context app's. For
example:
mpirun -gmca foo bar -np 1 hello : -np 2 goodbye
The foo MCA param will be set in both the hello and goodbye
processes.
- If there is only one context app. For example:
mpirun -mca pls_rsh_debug 1 -np 4 hello
will set pls_rsh_debug to 1 in both the orterun process and the 4
spawned hello processes.
Also added a few more comments inside orterun to document a somewhat
confusing use of a state variable in a recursive case.

to a tty or not. Now you can do something like:
ompi_info -all | grep btl_portals
and get the full line for each btl_portals parameter.
* For the case where stdout is a tty, we have my current nomination for
Today's Useless OMPI Feature. Autodetect the width of the terminal, so
people with really wide terminals will get less wrapping

- new preferred API calls for registering MCA parameters are
mca_base_param_reg_{int|string} and
mca_base_param_reg_{int|string}_name.
- See opal/mca/base/mca_base_param.h for docs on new calls.
- Can now register and lookup a value at the same time.
- Can now mark a parameter "read only" at registration time
- Can now mark a parameter "internal" at registration time
- Can now associate a help message with the parameter at registration
time; displayed in the ompi_info output.
The old API calls are still available for backwards compatibility
(mca_base_param_register_{int|string}. They will eventually be
removed -- all developers are encouraged to use the new APIs from here
on out and replace any old calls with the new API.
Some params were also renamed -- the previous convention of using
"base_" as a prefix for any param that was not associated with a
component is henceforth deprecated. Instead, use one of the following
prefixes:
mca: for anything in the MCA base itself
opal: for anything in OPAL
orte: for anything in ORTE
mpi: for anything in OMPI

* add btl back into ompi_info. Since it now directly calls the
open/close, the missing symbol problems Ralph was seeing when ob1 is
ignored will not occur.

support in OMPI. Currently only enables/disables the architecture
sharing modex in ob1 pml.
* Add sds framework to ompi_info
* Figure out table ids to use for Portals BTL at configure time, since
we should use 30 & 31 on Red Storm, but the reference implementation
only supports 0-8.
* Some bug fixes in Portals UTCP sds
This commit was SVN r6650.
* Add ability to completely disable libltdl (the dlopen code to load
dynamic shared objects) to configure: --disable-dlopen
* Added MCA param (component_disable_dlopen) to disable DSO loading
at runtime
* Made the event library behave in some not-completely-erroneous way
on platforms where it has absolutely no eventops support (ie, no
select, poll, or epoll)
* Disabled orte_wait, opal_few, and opal_daemon_init code on
platforms without fork, waitpid support. All non-init functions
will return OPMI_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
* Disable orteprobe tool when fork or pipe aren't supported

- After long discussions and ruminations on how we run components in
LAM/MPI, made the decision that, by default, all components included
in Open MPI will use the version number of their parent project
(i.e., OMPI or ORTE). They are certaint free to use a different
number, but this simplification makes the common cases easy:
- components are only released when the parent project is released
- it is easy (trivial?) to distinguish which version component goes
with with version of the parent project
- removed all autogen/configure code for templating the version .h
file in components
- made all ORTE components use ORTE_*_VERSION for version numbers
- made all OMPI components use OMPI_*_VERSION for version numbers
- removed all VERSION files from components
- configure now displays OPAL, ORTE, and OMPI version numbers
- ditto for ompi_info
- right now, faking it -- OPAL and ORTE and OMPI will always have the
same version number (i.e., they all come from the same top-level
VERSION file). But this paves the way for the Great Configure
Reorganization, where, among other things, each project will have
its own version number.
So all in all, we went from a boatload of version numbers to
[effectively] three. That's pretty good. :-)
