The SLURM_ID_HASH used for Cray systems has changed to fully use the
entire 64 bits of the hash.  Previously the stepid was multiplied by
10,000,000,000 to make it easy to read both the jobid as well as the
stepid in the hash separated by at least a couple of zeros, but this
lead to overflow on the hash with steps like the batch and extern step
where they used all 32 bits to represent the step.  While the new method
ruins the easy readability it fixes the more important overflow issue.
This most likely will go unnoticed by most, just a note of the change.

This would make --hint=multithread not work at all.

Issue originated from commit 82a959a8.

Since you can no longer get into the code without there being a buffer there is
no reason to check it.

Bug 3526

There was a bug in the heterogeneous job work (fixed now) that resulted
  in a bunch of jobs without time limits from being killed. This patch
  prevents those jobs from running indefinitely.

Bug 3502.

files on startup.  The new default behavior is to 'fatal' if state files
are bad.  This flag is to avoid that fatal if you expect things to be bad.

This commit just adds the flag but doesn't do anything more than that.

Turns out if the extern step is created here and the job was killed long
before hand the step is made erroneously and can cause an assert just lines
later.

Changes the alpsc_configure_nic() call to set the exclusive flag,
and 100 for both the cpu and memory scaling values.

Should only be used with exclusive jobs without concurrent steps
running on a node, otherwise oversubscription of the GNI resources
can occur leading to performance issues.

the slurm.conf file.

What this does is populate the node_hash_table as nodes are being read in
instead of after the node_record_table_ptr has been fully populated.

This speeds up a start of a slurmd with a system of 10000 nodes from
> 1 minute to less than a second.

In 17.11 we will remove the linear xstrcmp check as it should no longer be
needed.
