When using an emulated setting, the user is likely to specify both apbasil and
apkill, hence the AlpsDir variable could be refactored, which is what the patch
does. It falls back to the Cray-like defaults (/usr/bin) if nothing is set.

Especially on long listings of jobs or records, there is very little variation in
adjacent entries, causing repetition of output which can make it difficult to
quickly see changes.

This also makes it easier to spot outliers: as in the example a the end of
April below, where a user had set a BeginTime of about 1 month in advance:

The patch introduces a context-sensitive time format which is
 * disabled by default
 * enabled via SLURM_TIME_FORMAT environment variable,
 * prints 24-hour clock based time relative to "now",
 * takes up at most 12 characters (i.e. 1/2 character per hour).

The following compares the formats for a range of settings:

02_Cray-simpler-munge-build-process.diff from Gerrit Renker, CSCS

This disables setting the kill command on Cray platforms, to ensure that
always either SIGHUP (interactive shells) or SIGTERM (all others) is sent.
Patch 01_Cray-salloc-no-kill-command.diff from Gerrit Renker, CSCS.

Add an configure option of --enable-salloc-kill-cmd which will
cause the salloc command to signal its child processes when the
job ends. Job signalling will be the default for Cray systems.
Jobs will not be signalled by default on other systems. SIGHUP
will be used for interactive jobs and SIGTERM will be used for
other jobs.

Change the reason that a node is marked DOWN and the log message
from node "silent reboot" to "unexpected reboot"

Patch from Don Albert, Bull

With default configuration on non-Cray systems, enable salloc to be
spawned as a background process. Based upon work by Don Albert (Bull) and
Gerrit Renker (CSCS).

Add support to salloc for a new environment variable SALLOC_KILL_CMD,
which is equivalent to the -K/--kill-command option.

This fixes a bug which is thanks to a report by Don Albert.

The problem is that whenever salloc exits with a child process in stopped state
(suspended or stopped on terminal input/output), a zombie process is generated,
since this case is not caught by the code evaluating the child status.

This patch adds the missing case.  It uses SIGKILL, which is the only signal
that changes the state of a stopped process. It was decided not to try and
re-awken the process using SIGCONT, since (a) this happens during session
clean-up and (b) if the condition is due to SIGTTIN, the process immediately
becomes stopped again.
Patch from Gerrit Renker, CSCS.

Treat the specification of multiple cluster names as a fatal error.

Note that scontrol can only support a single cluster at one time.

Add -R/--reservation option to squeue command as a job filter.

Fix a couple of problems in alps emulation mode caused by recent changes
in the select/cray plugin: node cordinates and signal return code

select/cray: whitespace fixes and removal of unused code
Patch 10_Cray_COSMETICS-whitespace.diff from Gerrit Renker, CSCS

On the slurmd, the function build_all_frontend_info() is called before logging
is fully initialized. This causes the frontend debug messages (which also get
redundantly printed in the slurmctld log file) to be sent to stderr.

On our system (where all slurmds get started remotely, via pdsh) the particular
implementation caused the startup to hang.

The patch uses a solution similar to build_all_node_line_info(), where a
boolean flag is used to avoid repeating the slurmctld message in slurmd
context.

select/cray: fix race condition when canceling job during batch launch

This fixes a race condition which occurs when a job is cancelled during batch launch.
It is a bug since the condition causes the frontend node to be set in state DRAINING.

The fix is in catching this particular condition and isolating it as a non-fatal
error. This ensures continued robustness of operation, by not draining the entire
frontend node.

Short logfile dump of condition:

 [2011-05-19T17:20:45] [76343] job_manager exiting abnormally, rc = 4014

Detailed analysis:
==================
The slurmctld first created a reservation in select_nodes() -> select_g_job_begin() -> do_basil_reserve():
 [2011-05-19T10:56:19] ALPS RESERVATION #2511, JobId 74991: BASIL -n 12 -N 0 -d 1 -m 1333
 [2011-05-19T10:56:19] backfill: Started JobId=74991 on nid01347

 10:56:19: File new reservation resId 2511 pagg 0
 10:56:19: Confirmed apid 123762 resId 2511 pagg 0 nids: 1347

The next call after select_nodes() in backfill.c:_start_job() was launch_job(), which on the
slurmd node rosa12 produced the following message in _rpc_batch_job() upon receipt
of REQUEST_BATCH_JOB_LAUNCH:

 [2011-05-19T10:56:19] Launching batch job 74991 for UID 21487

This caused the launch_mutex to be taken and then the subsequent rc = _forkexec_slurmstepd().
While this was in operation, the user decided to scancel his job, apparently with the default SIGTERM:

 [2011-05-19T10:56:20] sched: Cancel of JobId=74991 by UID=21487, usec=358632
 [2011-05-19T10:56:20] sched: Cancel of JobId=74994 by UID=21487, usec=783954

This was in _slurm_rpc_job_step_kill() upon receiving REQUEST_CANCEL_JOB_STEP from scancel.
While the slurmstepd was preparing the job steps, it signalled cancellation

 [2011-05-19T10:56:20] [74991] *** JOB 74991 CANCELLED AT 2011-05-19T10:56:20 ***

via _rpc_signal_tasks() of the slurmd. Most likely this was from slurmctld:job_signal() -> _signal_batch_job(),
which means that the reservation had already been cancelled via select_g_job_signal() -> do_basil_release():

 10:56:20: ...cancel_msg:249: cancel reservation resId 2511
 10:56:20: type cancel uid 0 gid 0 apid 0 pagg 0 resId 2511 numCmds 0
 10:56:20: Canceled apid 123762 resId 2511 pagg 0

Meanwhile the slurmstepd continued to run by starting job_manager():
 [2011-05-19T10:56:20] [74991] PERMANENT ALPS BACKEND error: ALPS error: cannot find resId 2511
 [2011-05-19T10:56:20] [74991] confirming ALPS resId 2511 of JobId 74991 FAILED: ALPS backend error
 [2011-05-19T10:56:20] [74991] could not confirm ALPS reservation #2511
 [2011-05-19T10:56:20] [74991] job_manager exiting abnormally, rc = 4014

where the ALPS BACKEND error happened at the begin of job_manager(), in  rc = _select_cray_plugin_job_ready(job),
which returned the result from select_g_job_ready() -> do_basil_confirm(). The return result was READY_JOB_FATAL,
since the ALPS error was not a transient error.

Back in slurmstepd, the READY_JOB_FATAL was translated into ESLURMD_SETUP_ENVIRONMENT_ERROR, which then caused
the node to drain.

Detailed description of fix
===========================
The fix is by
 * catching the condition "reservation ID not found" in the BasilResponse as 'BE_NO_RESID'
   (which is already used to catch errors calling RELEASE more than 1 time);
 * interpreting the return of BE_NO_RESID as non-serious error condition during CONFIRM.

If the "reservation ID not found" was indeed caused due to the race condition, the fix will prevent ALPS
from introducing further complications (such as draining the node). If there is a separate ALPS problem
behind it (which is not expected), jobs will continue to run, but without ALPS support (all aprun
requests would fail). Such a condition (fixing ALPS issues) would need to be handled separately.
