* Ensure "cnt" is always initialized
* Ensure we dont' buffer overflow on strncat() -- need to ensure we
account for the terminating \0 character
* hwloc_get_type_depth() returns an int (not unsigned), and
HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_UNKNOWN if it's unknown (which is probably <0, but
still, might as well check what the official hwloc docs say to
check for)
cmr=v1.7.4:reviewer=rhc:subject=fix hwloc base compiler warnings
This commit was SVN r29686.
This change contains a non-mandatory modification
of the MPI-RTE interface. Anyone wishing to support
coprocessors such as the Xeon Phi may wish to add
the required definition and underlying support
****************************************************************
Add locality support for coprocessors such as the Intel Xeon Phi.
Detecting that we are on a coprocessor inside of a host node isn't straightforward. There are no good "hooks" provided for programmatically detecting that "we are on a coprocessor running its own OS", and the ORTE daemon just thinks it is on another node. However, in order to properly use the Phi's public interface for MPI transport, it is necessary that the daemon detect that it is colocated with procs on the host.
So we have to split the locality to separately record "on the same host" vs "on the same board". We already have the board-level locality flag, but not quite enough flexibility to handle this use-case. Thus, do the following:
1. add OPAL_PROC_ON_HOST flag to indicate we share a host, but not necessarily the same board
2. modify OPAL_PROC_ON_NODE to indicate we share both a host AND the same board. Note that we have to modify the OPAL_PROC_ON_LOCAL_NODE macro to explicitly check both conditions
3. add support in opal/mca/hwloc/base/hwloc_base_util.c for the host to check for coprocessors, and for daemons to check to see if they are on a coprocessor. The former is done via hwloc, but support for the latter is not yet provided by hwloc. So the code for detecting we are on a coprocessor currently is Xeon Phi specific - hopefully, we will find more generic methods in the future.
4. modify the orted and the hnp startup so they check for coprocessors and to see if they are on a coprocessor, and have the orteds pass that info back in their callback message. Automatically detect that coprocessors have been found and identify which coprocessors are on which hosts. Note that this algo isn't scalable at the moment - this will hopefully be improved over time.
5. modify the ompi proc locality detection function to look for coprocessor host info IF the OMPI_RTE_HOST_ID database key has been defined. RTE's that choose not to provide this support do not have to do anything - the associated code will simply be ignored.
6. include some cleanup of the hwloc open/close code so it conforms to how we did things in other frameworks (e.g., having a single "frame" file instead of open/close). Also, fix the locality flags - e.g., being on the same node means you must also be on the same cluster/cu, so ensure those flags are also set.

To resolve this situation, add the ability to specify a backend topology file that mpirun shall use for its mapping operations. Create a new "set_topology" function in opal hwloc to support it.
This commit was SVN r28682.
some relevant updates/new functionality in the opal/mca/hwloc and
orte/mca/rmaps bases. This work was mainly developed by Mellanox,
with a bunch of advice from Ralph Castain, and some minor advice from
Brice Goglin and Jeff Squyres.
Even though this is mainly Mellanox's work, Jeff is committing only
for logistical reasons (he holds the hg+svn combo tree, and can
therefore commit it directly back to SVN).
-----
Implemented distance-based mapping algorithm as a new "mindist"
component in the rmaps framework. It allows mapping processes by NUMA
due to PCI locality information as reported by the BIOS - from the
closest to device to furthest.
To use this algorithm, specify:
{{{mpirun --map-by dist:<device_name>}}}
where <device_name> can be mlx5_0, ib0, etc.
There are two modes provided:
1. bynode: load-balancing across nodes
1. byslot: go through slots sequentially (i.e., the first nodes are
more loaded)
These options are regulated by the optional ''span'' modifier; the
command line parameter looks like:
{{{mpirun --map-by dist:<device_name>,span}}}
So, for example, if there are 2 nodes, each with 8 cores, and we'd
like to run 10 processes, the mindist algorithm will place 8 processes
to the first node and 2 to the second by default. But if you want to
place 5 processes to each node, you can add a span modifier in your
command line to do that.
If there are two NUMA nodes on the node, each with 4 cores, and we run
6 processes, the mindist algorithm will try to find the NUMA closest
to the specified device, and if successful, it will place 4 processes
on that NUMA but leaving the remaining two to the next NUMA node.
You can also specify the number of cpus per MPI process. This option
is handled so that we map as many processes to the closest NUMA as we
can (number of available processors at the NUMA divided by number of
cpus per rank) and then go on with the next closest NUMA.
The default binding option for this mapping is bind-to-numa. It works
if you don't specify any binding policy. But if you specified binding
level that was "lower" than NUMA (i.e hwthread, core, socket) it would
bind to whatever level you specify.

* Use the hwloc logical index, not the os_index. Fixes problems with
opal_hwloc_base_cset2str() output (e.g., --report-bindings output)
on machines where the os_index is not tightly packed in the range

Remove stale configure.params files from the sbgp framework as the OMPI build system no longer looks at those files.

Cannot start the data clearing at the root object level as the root object has a different struct attached to userdata.

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 3322 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/3322
This now results in the procs being bound within their assigned location. It also causes us to use only the 0th HT on a core unless --use-hwthread-cpus has been specified (in which case, we use all the HTs in a core). Bind to core binds you to all HTs regardless - the --use-hwthread-cpus only impacts the oversubscribed determination and when binding to HT.

* NULL's out the hwloc_obj_t->userdata in
hwloc_base_util.c:free_object() and
hwloc_base_util.c:opal_hwloc_base_free_topology() after it has been
OBJ_RELEASE'd.
* Adds a userdata field to opal_hwloc_topo_data_t. This field will
be used in an upcoming rmaps component ("lama") to cache some
associated data during hardware tree traversals.
This commit was SVN r26938.
* opal_hwloc_base_cset2str(): Make a human-readable string of a
hwloc_cpuset_t (e.g., socket 2[core 3[hwt 1]])
* opal_hwloc_base_cset2mapstr(): Make a map-like string of a
hwloc_cpuset_t (e.g., [B./..])
This commit was SVN r26532.
* 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.

(http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2012/04/10905.php), set
opal_cache_line_size via hwloc data, if we have it.
opal_cache_line_size will be set to an hwloc-inspired value by the end
of orte_init(), but will always have a safe value to use (i.e., a
default value 128) -- even before opal_init() has completed.
Default to the same value of 128 that Open MPI has used for several
years if a) we have no hwloc data, or b) we weren't able to find L2
objects in the hwloc data.

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
