Adrian Reber 674655c641 Do not use CMA in user namespaces
Trying out to run processes via mpirun in Podman containers has shown
that the CMA btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism does not work when user
namespaces are involved.

Creating containers with Podman requires at least user namespaces to be
able to do unprivileged mounts in a container

Even if running the container with user namespace user ID mappings which
result in the same user ID on the inside and outside of all involved
containers, the check in the kernel to allow ptrace (and thus
process_vm_{read,write}v()), fails if the same IDs are not in the same
user namespace.

One workaround is to specify '--mca btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism none'
and this commit adds code to automatically skip CMA if user namespaces
are detected and fall back to MCA_BTL_VADER_EMUL.

[sys call fail]
A system call failed during vader shared memory BTL initialization
that should not have. It is likely that your MPI job will now either
abort or experience performance degradation.
System call: %s
Error: %s (errno %d)
#
[no locality]
WARNING: Missing locality information required for vader shared memory
BTL initialization. Continuing without shared memory support.
#
[knem permission denied]
WARING: Open MPI failed to open the /dev/knem device due to a
permissions problem. Please check with your system administrator to
get the permissions fixed, or set the btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism
MCA variable to none to silence this warning and run without knem
support.

#
[knem fail open]
WARNING: Open MPI failed to open the /dev/knem device due to a local
error. Please check with your system administrator to get the problem
fixed, or set the btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism MCA variable to none
to silence this warning and run without knem support.
The vader shared memory BTL will fall back on another single-copy
mechanism if one is available. This may result in lower performance.
Local host: %s

#
[knem get ABI fail]
WARNING: Open MPI failed to retrieve the ABI version from the
/dev/knem device due to a local error. This usually indicates an
error in your knem installation; please check with your system
administrator, or set the btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism MCA variable
to none to silence this warning and run without knem support.
The vader shared memory BTL will fall back on another single-copy
mechanism if one is available. This may result in lower performance.
Local host: %s
Errno: %d (%s)
#
[knem ABI mismatch]
WARNING: Open MPI was compiled with support for one version of the
knem kernel module, but it discovered a different version running in
/dev/knem. Open MPI needs to be installed with support for the same
version of knem as is in the running Linux kernel. Please check with
your system administrator, or set the btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism
MCA variable to none to silence this warning and run without knem
support.
The vader shared memory BTL will fall back on another single-copy
mechanism if one is available. This may result in lower performance.

[knem mmap fail]
Open MPI failed to map support from the knem Linux kernel module; this
shouldn't happen. Please check with your system administrator, or set
the btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism MCA variable to none to silence
this warning and run without knem support.
The vader shared memory BTL will fall back on another single-copy
mechanism if one is available. This may result in lower performance.

[knem init error]
Open MPI encountered an error during the knem initialization. Please
check with your system administrator, or set the
