8ac35a8496 Fully enable the monitoring of memory usage and automatic termination of memory hogs when limits are reached. Improve the efficiency of the sensor system so we don't multiply sample the resource usage if multiple modules are active. Ensure we output the proc error summary when we abnormally terminate.

e1ba09ad51 Add a resilience to ORTE. Allows the runtime to continue after a process (or
ORTED) failure. Note that more work will be necessary to allow the MPI layer to
take advantage of this.

b9893aacc5 Add a sensor framework to ORTE that monitors applications and notifies the errmgr when they exceed specified boundaries. Two modules are included here:
1. file activity - can monitor file size, access and modification times. If these fail to change over a specified number of sampling iterations (rate is an mca param), then the errmgr is notified.

2. memory usage - checks amount of memory used by a process. Limit and sampling rate can be set.

This support must be enabled by configuring --enable-sensors.

ompi_info and orte-info have been updated to include the new framework.

Also includes some initial steps toward restoring the recovery capability. Most notably, the ODLS API has been extended to include a "restart_proc" entry for restarting a local process, and organizes the various ERRMGR framework globals into a single struct as we do in the other ORTE frameworks. Fix an oversight in the ERRMGR framework where a pointer array was constructed, but not initialized.

Implementation continues.

efbb5c9b7c Revamp the errmgr framework to provide a greater range of optional behaviors, including different behaviors for daemons, and remove several looping messages across the code base:
* add hnp and orted modules to the errmgr framework. The HNP module contains much of the code that was in the errmgr base since that code could only be executed by the HNP anyway.

* update the odls to report process states directly into the active errmgr module, thus removing the need to send messages looped back into the odls cmd processor. Let the active errmgr module decide what to do at various states.

* remove the code to track application state progress from the plm_base_launch_support.c code. Update the plm modules to call the errmgr directly when a launch fails.

* update the plm_base_receive.c code to call the errmgr with state updates from remote daemons

* update the routed modules to reflect that process state is updated in the errmgr

* ensure that the orted's open the errmgr and select their appropriate module

* add new pretty-print utilities to print process and job state. Move the pretty-print of time info to a globally-accessible place

* define a global orte_comm function to send messages from orted's to the HNP so that others can overlay the standard RML methods, if desired.

* update the orterun help output to reflect that the "term w/o sync" error message can result from three, not two, scenarios

0b9552cd4e Expand the ESS framework's API to include a new function "query_sys_info" that allows the caller to retrieve key-value pairs of info on the local system capabilities (e.g., cpu type/model).

18c7aaff08 Update the grpcomm framework to be more thread-friendly.
Modify the orte configure options to specify --enable-multicast such that it directs components to build or not instead of littering the code base with #if's. Remove those #if's where they used to occur.

Add a new grpcomm "mcast" module to support multicast operations. Still some work required to properly perform daemon collectives for comm_spawn operations. New module only builds when --enable-multicast is provided, and when specifically selected.

8ab962411c Detect the scenario where one or more procs fail to call orte/ompi_init while others in the job do. This scenario can cause the job to hang as MPI_Init contains a barrier operation that will not complete. Although ORTE does not contain such a barrier, it still will be considered as an error scenario so that we can detect the MPI case - otherwise, ORTE has no knowledge of OMPI and wouldn't know how to differentiate the use-cases.
Take advantage of the changes to update the routed_base_receive code to avoid message overlap.

5e710928a5 Revise the new binding system slightly:
1. finalize the logic for properly respecting externally assigned bindings. Thanks to Chris Samuel for his help with this. Still needs some acid testing, but appears to now work.

2. remove the double-logic of requiring opal_paffinity_alone AND bind-to-foo. If the user specifies bind-to-foo, trust her and just do it.

1dc12046f1 Modify the OMPI paffinity and mapping system to support socket-level mapping and binding. Mostly refactors existing code, with modifications to the odls_default module to support the new capabilities.
Adds several new mpirun options:

* -bysocket - assign ranks on a node by socket. Effectively load balances the procs assigned to a node across the available sockets. Note that ranks can still be bound to a specific core within the socket, or to the entire socket - the mapping is independent of the binding.

* -bind-to-socket - bind each rank to all the cores on the socket to which they are assigned.

* -bind-to-core - currently the default behavior (maintained from prior default)

* -npersocket N - launch N procs for every socket on a node. Note that this implies we know how many sockets are on a node. Mpirun will determine its local values. These can be overridden by provided values, either via MCA param or in a hostfile

Similar features/options are provided at the board level for multi-board nodes.

- Delete unnecessary header files using
   contrib/check_unnecessary_headers.sh after applying
   patches, that include headers, being "lost" due to
   inclusion in one of the now deleted headers...

   In total 817 files are touched.
   In ompi/mpi/c/ header files are moved up into the actual c-file,
   where necessary (these are the only additional #include),
   otherwise it is only deletions of #include (apart from the above
   additions required due to notifier...)

 - To get different MCAs (OpenIB, TM, ALPS), an earlier version was
   successfully compiled (yesterday) on:
   Linux locally using intel-11, gcc-4.3.2 and gcc-SVN + warnings enabled

1. fix a race condition whereby a proc's output could trigger an event prior to the other outputs being setup, thus c ausing the IOF to declare the proc "terminated" too early. This was really rare, but could happen.

2. add a new "timestamp-output" option that timestamp's each line of output

3. add a new "output-filename" option that redirects each proc's output to a separate rank-named file.

4. add a new "xterm" option that redirects the output of the specified ranks to a separate xterm window.

This simply shifts the data structures from the ODLS base to the orte globals area to support subsequent movement of the daemon collective operations from the odls to the grpcomm framework. As that will be a larger change, it will be implemented on a branch and rolled over separately.

728a24c8ec After considerable patience and help with debugging/testing from Tim M and Jeff S, return a completed and pretty well tested patch of the IOF to the trunk. This commit includes the previously reverted r20074, r20068, and r20064, as well as changes to fix those commits.
Basically, the remaining problem turned out to be:

1. closing stdout/stderr during orte_finalize of mpirun

2. inadvertently setting up a write event on fd = -1

3. devising a scheme to more accurately track when the stdin write event was active vs closed so it only got released once

This passed prelim MTT testing by Jeff and Tim, but should soak for awhile before migrating to 1.3.

a07660aea8 Bring over the IOF completion changes. This commit fixes the long-occurring problem whereby application procs could, under some circumstances, lose their final prints to stdout/err. The commit includes:
1. coordination of job completion notification to include a requirement for both waitpid detection AND notification that all iof pipes have been closed by the app

2. change of all IOF read and write events to be non-persistent so they can properly be shutdown and restarted only when required

3. addition of a delay (currently set to 10ms) before restarting the stdin read event. This was required to ensure that the stdout, stderr, and stddiag read events had an opportunity to be serviced in scenarios where large files are attached to stdin.

586334d1c8 Per discussion with Tim Mattox, reset the trunk to pre-19991 level for the iof only. I will shortly add a changeset that will repair the one known error where we were incorrectly closing the stdout/err/diag file descriptors when all we wanted to do was close stdin. I will leave out the changes associated with coordinating proc termination due to race conditions IU encounted during MTT testing. I have been unable to replicate those so far, but we hope to resolve it in the near future.

555bbf0c02 Fix the iof race conditions wrt proc termination. This is comprised of two sections:
1. modify the iof to track when a proc actually closes all of its open iof output pipes. When this occurs, notify the odls that the proc's iof is complete. This is done via a zero-time event so that we can step out of the read event before processing the notification.

2. in the odls, modify the waitpid callback so it only flags that it was called. Add a function to receive the iof-complete notification, and a function that checks for both iof complete and waitpid callback before declaring a proc fully terminated. This ensures that we read and deliver -all- of the IO prior to declaring the job complete.

Also modified the odls call to orte_iof.close (and the component's implementation) so it only closes stdin, leaving the other io channels alone. This fixes the other half of the known problem.

This should fix the ticket on this subject, but I'll wait to close it pending further testing in the trunk.

f54fda489e This is a first step towards supporting fully-routed OOB communications:
1. remove direct routed module (hooray!)

2. add radix tree routed module (binomial remains default)

3. remove duplicate data storage - orteds were storing nidmap and pidmap data in odls, everyone else in ess

4. add ess APIs to update nidmap, add new pidmap - used only by orteds for MPI-2 support

5. modify code to eliminate multiple calls to orte_routed.update_route that recreated info already in ess pidmap. Add ess API to lookup that info instead. Modify routed modules to utilize that capability

6. setup new ability to shutdown orteds without sending back an "ack" message to mpirun - not utilized yet, will require some changes to plm terminate_orteds functions in managed environments (coming soon)

Initial tests indicating that fully routing comm via defined routing trees may not actually have a significant cost for operations like IB QP setup. More tests required to confirm.

This will require an autogen...

6e5d844c36 Roll in the revamped IOF subsystem. Per the devel mailing list email, this is a complete rewrite of the iof framework designed to simplify the code for maintainability, and to support features we had planned to do, but were too difficult to implement in the old code. Specifically, the new code:
1. completely and cleanly separates responsibilities between the HNP, orted, and tool components.

2. removes all wireup messaging during launch and shutdown.

3. maintains flow control for stdin to avoid large-scale consumption of memory by orteds when large input files are forwarded. This is done using an xon/xoff protocol.

4. enables specification of stdin recipients on the mpirun cmd line. Allowed options include rank, "all", or "none". Default is rank 0.

5. creates a new MPI_Info key "ompi_stdin_target" that supports the above options for child jobs. Default is "none".

6. adds a new tool "orte-iof" that can connect to a running mpirun and display the output. Cmd line options allow selection of any combination of stdout, stderr, and stddiag. Default is stdout.

7. adds a new mpirun and orte-iof cmd line option "tag-output" that will tag each line of output with process name and stream ident. For example, "[1,0]<stdout>this is output"

This is not intended for the 1.3 release as it is a major change requiring considerable soak time.

30f37f762d Enable co-location of debugger daemons during initial launch and when debugging a running job.
Provide support for four MPIR extensions that allow specification of debugger daemon executable, argv for the debugger daemon, whether or not to forward debugger daemon IO, and whether or not debugger daemon will piggy-back on ORTE OOB network. Last is not yet implemented.

No change in behavior or operation occurs unless (a) the debugger specifically utilizes the extensions and, for co-locate while running, the user specifically enables the capability via an MCA param. Two of the MPIR extensions supported here are used in a widely-used debugger for a large-scale installation. The other two extensions are new and being utilized in prototype work by several debuggers for possible future release.

ba5498cdc6 Repair the MPI-2 dynamic operations. This includes:
1. repair of the linear and direct routed modules

2. repair of the ompi/pubsub/orte module to correctly init routes to the ompi-server, and correctly handle failure to correctly parse the provided ompi-server URI

3. modification of orterun to accept both "file" and "FILE" for designating where the ompi-server URI is to be found - purely a convenience feature

4. resolution of a message ordering problem during the connect/accept handshake that allowed the "send-first" proc to attempt to send to the "recv-first" proc before the HNP had actually updated its routes.

Let this be a further reminder to all - message ordering is NOT guaranteed in the OOB

5. Repair the ompi/dpm/orte module to correctly init routes during connect/accept.

Reminder to all: messages sent to procs in another job family (i.e., started by a different mpirun) are ALWAYS routed through the respective HNPs. As per the comments in orte/routed, this is REQUIRED to maintain connect/accept (where only the root proc on each side is capable of init'ing the routes), allow communication between mpirun's using different routing modules, and to minimize connections on tools such as ompi-server. It is all taken care of "under the covers" by the OOB to ensure that a route back to the sender is maintained, even when the different mpirun's are using different routed modules.

6. corrections in the orte/odls to ensure proper identification of daemons participating in a dynamic launch

7. corrections in build/nidmap to support update of an existing nidmap during dynamic launch

8. corrected implementation of the update_arch function in the ESS, along with consolidation of a number of ESS operations into base functions for easier maintenance. The ability to support info from multiple jobs was added, although we don't currently do so - this will come later to support further fault recovery strategies

9. minor updates to several functions to remove unnecessary and/or no longer used variables and envar's, add some debugging output, etc.

10. addition of a new macro ORTE_PROC_IS_DAEMON that resolves to true if the provided proc is a daemon

There is still more cleanup to be done for efficiency, but this at least works.

Tested on single-node Mac, multi-node SLURM via odin. Tests included connect/accept, publish/lookup/unpublish, comm_spawn, comm_spawn_multiple, and singleton comm_spawn.

9613b3176c Effectively revert the orte_output system and return to direct use of opal_output at all levels. Retain the orte_show_help subsystem to allow aggregation of show_help messages at the HNP.
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.

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.

d97a4f880d Shift the daemon collective operation to the ODLS framework. Ensure we track the collectives per job to avoid race conditions. Take advantage of the new capabilities of the routed framework to define aggregating trees for the daemon collective, and to track which daemons are participating to handle the case of sparse participation.
Make it all work with comm_spawn in the case of all procs on previously occupied nodes, some new procs on new nodes, and mixtures of the two.

Note: comm_spawn now works with both binomial and linear routed modules. There remains a problem of spawned procs not properly getting updated contact info for the parent proc when run in the direct routed mode...but that's for another day.

3e55fe6f6d Fold in the revised modex scheme. Move the ompi_proc_t modex portions to the RTE level since the daemons already have that info. Provide each process with the equivalent of a "nidmap" - both a map of what nodes are in the job, and a map of which node each process is on. This enables the use of static ports, though that hasn't been turned "on" in this commit.
Update the rsh tree spawn capability so we spawn the next wave of daemons before launching our own local procs.

Add an ability to encode nodenames for large clusters with contiguous node name numbering schemes - this allows communication of all node names in a few bytes instead of tens-of-bytes/node.

This commit was SVN r18338.
