Ticket 1392 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1392
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.
This commit was SVN r18619.
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.

* Trimmed some dead wood while I was at it:
* No need for component close function that does nothing
* Use BEGIN/END_C_DECLS
* Use recent MCA param register function
* Ditch MCA param orte_iof_debug (it wasn't used anywhere)
* Use MCA param orte_iof_override properly in the code (i.e., look
up the value once and use the cached value later)

Per discussions with Brian and Ralph, make a slight correction in
where components are installed. Use $pkglibdir, not $libdir/openmpi,
so that when compiled in the orte trunk, components are installed to
the right directory (because the component search patch is checking
$pkglibdir).

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.

frameworks, and components without configure scripts instead of
hard-coded shell variables (for projects and frameworks) and
shell variable building (for components).
* Add 3rd category of component configuration (in addition to configure
scripts and no-configured components): configure.m4 components. These
components can only be built as part of OMPI (like no-configure), but
can provide an m4 file that is run as part of the main configure
script. These macros can set whether the component should be built,
along with just about any other configuration wanted. More care must
be taken compared to configure components, as doing things like setting
variables or calling AC_MSG_ERROR now affects the top-level configure
script (so calling AC_MSG_ERROR if your component can't configure
probably isn't what you want)
* Added support to autogen.sh for the configure.m4-style components,
as well as building up the m4_define lists ompi_mca.m4 now expects
* Updated a number of macros to be more config.cache friendly (both
so that config.cache can be used and so the test can be quickly
run multiple times in the same configrue script):
- ompi_config_asm
- c_weak_symbols
- c_get_alignment
* Added new macros to be shared when configuring components:
- ompi_objc.m4 (this actually provides AC_PROG_OBJC - don't ask...)
- ompi_check_xgrid
- ompi_check_tm
- ompi_check_bproc
* Updated a number of components to use configure.m4 instead of
configure.stub
- btl portals
- io romio
- tm ras and pls
- bjs, lsf_bproc ras and bproc_seed pls
- xgrid ras and pls
- null iof (used by tm)
This commit was SVN r6412.
- 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. :-)
