Samuel Gutierrez 2fb7c344fc Added a new System V (sysv) shared memory component for Open MPI.
Configure Option:
--enable-sysv

MCA Parameter:
mpi_common_sm

mpi_common_sm accepts a comma delimited list of: [sysv],mmap (order
dependent).  The first component that is successfully selected is used. For
example, -mca mpi_common_sm sysv,mmap will first try sysv. If sysv is not
successfully selected, then mmap will be used.  mmap will be used if 
mpi_common_sm is not provided.

Notes:
Please make certain that your system's shmmax limit, or equivalent, is larger
than mpool_sm_min_size.  Otherwise, shmget may fail.

This commit was SVN r23260.

[sys call fail]
A system call failed during shared memory initialization that should
not have. It is likely that your MPI job will now either abort or
experience performance degradation.
Local host: %s
System call: %s %s
Process: %s
Error: %s (errno %d)
#
[shmget call fail]
A shmget call failed during shared memory initialization that should
not have. It is likely that your MPI job will now either abort or
experience performance degradation.
Local host: %s
System call: %s
Process: %s
Error: %s (errno %d)
Please verify that your system's shmax limit, or equivalent, is larger than
%d. On some Unix-like systems this can be done via: "sysctl -a | grep shm"
#
[mmap too small]
Open MPI requested a shared memory segment that was too small to do
anything useful. This is likely an error in Open MPI itself. If you
see this error, you should see if there is an update available for
Open MPI, and if not, contact the Open MPI developers.
Local host: %s
Requested size: %ul
Control seg size: %ul
Data seg aligment: %ul
#
[mmap on nfs]
WARNING: Open MPI will create a shared memory backing file in a
directory that appears to be mounted on a network filesystem.
Creating the shared memory backup file on a network file system, such
as NFS or Lustre is not recommended -- it may cause excessive network
traffic to your file servers and/or cause shared memory traffic in
Open MPI to be much slower than expected.
You may want to check what the typical temporary directory is on your
node. Possible sources of the location of this temporary directory
include the $TEMPDIR, $TEMP, and $TMP environment variables.
Note, too, that system administrators can set a list of filesystems
where Open MPI is disallowed from creating temporary files by settings
the MCA parameter "orte_no_session_dir".
Local host: %s
Fileame: %s

WARNING: "%s" not recognized - ignoring option. Suppressing additional
unrecognized option warnings.

[sysv rt test fail]
WARNING: It appears as if your system does not provide the run-time behavior
that we rely on to safely provide System V shared memory support.
