Cray has two machine types. "XC" machines are the larger
machines more common in HPC, but "Cluster" machines are
also cropping up at some HPC sites. Cluster machines run
a slightly different form of the CrayPE programming environment,
and often come without default modules loaded. Cluster
machines also run different versions of some software, and run
a linux distro on the backend nodes instead of running Compute
Node Linux (CNL).
Below are the changes made to support "Cluster" machines in
Spack. Some of these changes are semi-related general upkeep
of the cray platform.
* cray platform: detect properly after module purge
* cray platform: support machines running OSs other than CNL
Make Cray backend OS delegate to LinuxDistro when no cle_release file
favor backend over frontend OS when name clashes
* cray platform: target detection uses multiple strategies
This commit improves the robustness of target
detection on Cray by trying multiple strategies.
The first one that produces results wins. If
nothing is found only the generic family of the
frontend host is used as a target.
* cray-libsci: add package from NERSC
* build_env: unload cray-libsci module when not explicitly needed
cray-libsci is a package in Spack. The cray PrgEnv
modules load it implicitly when we set up the compiler.
We now unload it after setting up the compiler and
only reload it when requested via external package.
* util/module_cmd: more robust module parsing
Cray modules have documentation inside the module
that is visible to the `module show` command.
Spack module parsing is now robust to documentation
inside modules.
* cce compiler: uses clang flags for versions >= 9.0
* build_env: push CRAY_LD_LIBRARY_PATH into everything
Some Cray modules add paths to CRAY_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This has performance benefits
at load time, but leads to Spack builds not finding their
dependencies from external modules.
Spack now prepends CRAY_LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before beginning the build.
* mvapich2: setup cray compilers when on cray
previously, mpich was the only mpi implementation to support
cray systems (because it is the MPI on Cray XC systems).
Cray cluster systems use mvapich2, which now supports cray
compiler wrappers.
* build_env: clean pkgconf from environment
Cray modules silently add pkgconf to the user environment
This can break builds that do not user pkgconf.
Now we remove it frmo the environment and add it again if it
is in the spec.
* cray platform: cheat modules for rome/zen2 module on naples/zen node
Cray modules for naples/zen architecture currently specify
rome/zen2. For now, we detect this and return zen for modules
named `craype-x86-rome`.
* compiler: compiler default versions
When detecting compiler default versions for target/compiler
compatibility checks, Spack previously ran the compiler without
setting up its environment. Now we setup a temporary environment
to run the compiler with its modules to detect its version.
* compilers/cce: improve logic to determine C/C++ std flags
* tests: fix existing tests to play nicely with new cray support
* tests: test new functionality
Some new functionality can only be tested on a cray system.
Add tests for what can be tested on a linux system.

We'd like to use a consistent checksum scheme everywhere so that we can:
a) incorporate archive checksums into our specs and have a
consistent hashing algorithm across all specs.
b) index mirrors with a consistent type of checksum, and not one that
is dependent on how spack packages are written.
- [x] convert existing md5, sha224, sha512, sha1 checksums to sha256
This enforces conventions that allow for correct handling of
multi-valued variants where specifying no value is an option,
and adds convenience functionality for specifying multi-valued
variants with conflicting sets of values. This also adds a notion
of "feature values" for variants, which are those that are understood
by the build system (e.g. those that would appear as configure
options). In more detail:
* Add documentation on variants to the packaging guide
* Forbid usage of '' or None as a possible variant value, in
particular as a default. To indicate choosing no value, the user
must explicitly define an option like 'none'. Without this,
multi-valued variants with default set to None were not parsable
from the command line (Fixes#6314)
* Add "disjoint_sets" function to support the declaration of
multi-valued variants with conflicting sets of options. For example
a variant "foo" with possible values "a", "b", and "c" where "c"
is exclusive of the other values ("foo=a,b" and "foo=c" are
valid but "foo=a,c" is not).
* Add "any_combination_of" function to support the declaration of
multi-valued variants where it is valid to choose none of the
values. This automatically defines "none" as an option (exclusive
with all other choices); this value does not appear when iterating
over the variant's values, for example in "with_or_without" (which
constructs autotools option strings from variant values).
* The "disjoint_sets" and "any_combination_of" methods return an
object which tracks the possible values. It is also possible to
indicate that some of these values do not correspond to options
understood by the package's build system, such that methods like
"with_or_without" will not define options for those values (this
occurs automatically for "none")
* Add documentation for usage of new functions for specifying
multi-valued variants
- remove the old LGPL license headers from all files in Spack
- add SPDX headers to all files
- core and most packages are (Apache-2.0 OR MIT)
- a very small number of remaining packages are LGPL-2.1-only
* bison: Add missing build dependencies
bison also depends on cmp, which is currently not available in Spack.
* help2man: Add missing build dependency
* m4: Fix build with newer versions of glibc
* openssl: Add missing build dependency
openssl's configure script is actually a Perl script.
* texinfo: Add missing perl dependency
* diffutils: New package
* findutils: Fix build with newer versions of glibc
* mvapich2, mpich: Add missing findutils dependency
* mvapich2: add registration cache and file systems variants, avoid empty --with-pm= if no process manager is specified, add missing leading dash in --disable-silent-rules
Following a comment from Todd, the search path for the files listed in
`filter_compiler_wrappers` can now be narrowed. Anyhow, the function
implementation still makes use of `find`, the rationale being that we
have already seen packages that install artifacts in e.g. architecture
dependent folders. The possibility to have a relative search path might
be a good compromise between the previous approach and the one suggested
in the review.
Also: 'ignore_absent' and 'backup' keyword arguments can be optionally
forwarded to `filter_file`.
Implemented a declarative syntax for the additional behavior that can
get attached to classes. Implemented a function to filter compiler
wrappers that uses the mechanism above.
Modifications:
- added support for multi-valued variants
- refactored code related to variants into variant.py
- added new generic features to AutotoolsPackage that leverage multi-valued variants
- modified openmpi to use new features
- added unit tests for the new semantics
* libpciaccess: Convert to AutotoolsPackage, remove Darwin work-around
Other packages that depend on libpciaccess can do so via a conditional dependency (via a variant); we don’t need a dummy package for Darwin any more.
* Disable libpciaccess dependency on non-Darwin platforms
* hwloc: Remove direct dependency on libpciaccess
