and https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1853, mallopt() hints do
not always work -- it is possible for memory to be returned to the OS
and therefore OMPI's registration cache becomes invalid.
This commit removes all use of mallopt() and uses a different way to
integrate ptmalloc2 than we have done in the past. In particular, we
use almost exactly the same technique as MX:
* Remove all uses of mallopt, to include the opal/memory mallopt
component.
* Name-shift all of OMPI's internal ptmalloc2 public symbols (e.g.,
malloc -> opal_memory_ptmalloc2_malloc).
* At run-time, use the existing glibc allocator malloc hook function
pointers to fully hijack the glibc allocator with our own
name-shifted ptmalloc2.
* Make the decision whether to hijack the glibc allocator ''at run
time'' (vs. at link time, as previous ptmalloc2 integration
attempts have done). Look at the OMPI_MCA_mpi_leave_pinned
and OMPI_MCA_mpi_leave_pinned_pipeline environment variables and
the existence of /sys/class/infiniband to determine if we should
install the hooks or not.
* As an added bonus, we can now tell if libopen-pal is linked
statically or dynamically, and if we're linked statically, we
assume that munmap intercept support doesn't work.
See the opal/mca/memory/ptmalloc2/README-open-mpi.txt file for all the
gory details about the implementation.
