Darshan Release Change Log
--------------------------
Darshan-3.4.6
=============
* Added enhancements to Darshan's Lustre instrumentation module to capture
extensive details on the Lustre stripe components constituting a file (e.g.,
in a progressive file layout)
- File records now composed of potentially multiple Lustre component counter
sets (e.g., LUSTRE_COMP1_*, LUSTRE_COMP2_*, etc.)
- STRIPE_OFFSET, OSTS, and MDTS counters are no longer provided
- STRIPE_WIDTH is now referred to as STRIPE_COUNT to match Lustre terminology
* Fixed bugs in Darshan's log compression/decompression routines that are
triggered when using the new zlib-ng software package
- darshan-runtime bug fix to correct problematic log compression strategy
- darshan-util bug fix to correct logs already generated with this issue
* Fixed bug leading to hangs when passing in unproperly formatted Darshan
runtime configuration settings
Darshan-3.4.5
=============
* Added the ability for the Darshan runtime library to properly shutdown for
non-MPI applications that call `_exit()` directly
- This behavior has been commonly observed in the Python `multiprocessing`
package, which has traditionally prevented Darshan from properly
instrumenting applications that use it (e.g., the PyTorch DataLoader)
* Added optional integration with the LDMS data/metrics collection system,
allowing realtime analysis of Darshan instrumented I/O operations.
- For more details, see https://ovis-hpc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ldms/ldms-streams.html#darshan
- Contributed by Sara Walton (SNL), Ana Luisa Solorzano (Northeastern), and the LDMS team
* Fixed bug to ensure Darshan includes the appropriate instrumentation wrapper
for `fscanf`/`__isoc99_fscanf`
* Fixed bug in HDF5 module causing any call to HDF5's `H5Pset_fapl_mpio()`
routine to fail
Darshan-3.4.4
=============
* Fixed bug leading to inconsistent heatmap record shapes when Darshan
shared file reductions are disabled
- also added a darshan-util fix to resolve this inconsisency on already
impacted logs (any generated with 3.4.0+ versions of Darshan)
* Added workaround for potential undefined symbol errors for 'H5FD_mpio_init'
when LD_PRELOADing an HDF5-enabled runtime library
- bug triggered by 1.13+ versions of HDF5
Darshan-3.4.3
=============
* Added new configure option '--with-username-env' to allow
specification of an env variable to use to find the username
associated with a job (e.g., SLURM_JOB_USER)
* Fixed bug causing crashes for applications that call fork()
and use Darshan app exclusions settings
* Fixed bug related to not closing open HDF5 file ID when
instrumenting H5Fflush() calls (reported/fixed by Zanhua
Huang)
Darshan-3.4.2
=============
* Fixed segfault when defining scalar variables in PnetCDF module
* Fixed memory corruption (and potential segfault) when
reading/writing high-dimensional PnetCDF variables using
vara/vars/varm interfaces
* Fixed crashes related to using PnetCDF vard interfaces with input
MPI_DATATYPE_NULL datatypes
* Fixed bug attributing all PnetCDF variable instrumentation to the
first variable instrumented
Darshan-3.4.1
=============
* Added comprehensive instrumentation of PnetCDF APIs via PNETCDF_FILE and
PNETCDF_VAR modules (contributed by Wei-Keng Liao)
- disabled by default, enabled by passing `--enable-pnetcdf-mod` to
configure
* Modified Darshan log format to support a max of 64 instrumentation
modules, since the current version of Darshan reached the old max (16)
* Modified Darshan to report job start/end times at nanosecond
granularity (previously only second granularity was possible)
* Added support for instrumenting H5Oopen family of calls
* Modified HDF5 module extraction of dataspase selection details
- Extraction of point selections now possible regardless of HDF5 version
- H5S_ALL selections are no longer counted as regular hyperslab accesses
* Fixed bug causing no instrumentation of child processes of fork() calls
(reported by Rui Wang)
* Deprecated --file-list and --file-list-detailed options in darshan-parser
* Added "darshan_accumulator" API to the logutils library
- _create(), _inject(), _emit(), and _destroy()
- generalizes the mechanism for producing summation records and derived
metrics for sets of records from a given module
- refactored darshan-parser to use new API
- implemented support for accumulators in POSIX, STDIO, and MPIIO modules
* Fixed memory leak in darshan-util helper functions used by PyDarshan
- darshan_log_get_name_records
- darshan_log_get_filtered_name_records
* Integrated the µnit Testing Framework in darshan-util
- implemented unit tests for darshan_accumlator API
Darshan-3.4.0
=============
* Fix segfault affecting new DARSHAN_MOD_DISABLE/ENABLE environment variables
* Fix divide-by-zero condition that can potentially be triggered by new
heatmap module
* Fix potential MPI errors related to calling MPI_Type_size() on a
user-supplied MPI_DATATYPE_NULL type (reported by Jim Edwards)
* cuserid() is no longer the default method for determining username, and must
be manually enabled at configure time
* Fix backwards compatibility bug affecting darshan-3.0.0 logs in darshan-util
C library functions used by PyDarshan
* Suppress noisy output warnings when using darshan-job-summary.pl
* Clarify units displayed by darshan-job-summary.pl (reported by Jeff Layton)
Darshan-3.4.0-pre1
==================
* Add a new "heatmap" module that records histograms of I/O traffic over time
on each process
* Performance optimizations to runtime wrappers to limit function call
overhead and locking costs
* Replace mutex locks with atomics in core library
* Add optional, limited support for RDTSCP-based timing, enabled via
--enable-rdtscp at configure time
* Remove unecessary explicit mpich binding libraries from link line when static linking
* Graceful warnings when parsing log files with unknown module types
* Remove deprecated performance estimate methods from darshan-parser
* Add two new derived metrics to darshan-parser --perf: agg_time_by_slowest
(total elapsed time performing I/O by the slowest rank) and
slowest_rank_rw_only_time (total elapsed time performing read/write
operations by the slowest rank)
* Add unified Darshan configuration support via env vars and config files
* Adopt automake and libtool for Darshan build, and allow top-level build
of both darshan-runtime and darshan-util (contributed by Wei-Keng Liao)
* Increase default memory limit for record names (NAMEMEM config setting)
to 1 MiB
Darshan-3.3.1
=============
* fixed github issue 399: undefined llapi_layout_get_by_xattr function in some
scenarios because of incomplete dependency information in Darshan shared
library
* modified Darshan to properly handle for non-MPI applications that call fork()
Darshan-3.3.0
=============
* added AutoPerf modules for tracking MPI communication usage (APMPI) and
for tracking Cray XC performance counters (APXC)
Darshan-3.3.0-pre2
=============
* fixed bug in HDF5 module resulting in warning messages for instrumented
datasets that use H5S_SELECT_NONE (reported by Marta Garcia Martinez)
* disabled DXT's MPI-IO offset tracing for Darshan builds using OpenMPI
to workaround an OpenMPI bug (reported by Tobias Meisel)
* modified Darshan to query Lustre striping information for all
instrumented files to workaround issue of retrieving striping info for
Lustre files that are symlinked to other file systems
Darshan-3.3.0-pre1
=============
* added first version of PyDarshan, which provides interfaces for
accessing Darshan log file data from Python applications
* modified Lustre module to use 'fgetxattr' rather than 'ioctl' for
querying stripe info to avoid known bug in Lustre that could cause
application crashes
* fixed bug leading to potential deadlock when reducing shared file records
for MPI applications (known to affect mvapich2)
* fixed bug preventing usage of Darshan's non-MPI mode in builds that use
MPI compilers
* boosted Darshan's default internal memory allocation from 2 MiB to 4 MiB
* added wrappers for openat, preadv, preadv2, pwritev, and pwritev2 (improves
profiling of ompio)
* various bug fixes to enable usage of HDF5 modules in non-MPI applications
* fixed HDF5 module bug leading to warnings on stdout for applications using
non-MPIIO VFD for HDF5
* fixed HDF5 module bug leading to potentially incorrect values in H5D module
common access counters
* added new H5D record value to indicate corresponding H5F record ID, to
allow easier mapping of HDF5 datasets to files they belong to
* improved error handling in command line parsers to make incomplete logs more
obvious to users
* fixed bug leading to incorrect internal timing information at Darshan
shutdown time
* fixed bug causing negative Darshan counter values from being plotted when
using the darshan-job-summary tool
Darshan-3.2.1
=============
* fixed bug causing corruption of Darshan common access
counters (POSIX, MPI-IO, and HDF5 modules) and potentially
other preceding counters (reported by Gerd Heber)
Darshan-3.2.0
=============
* added detailed instrumentation of HDF5 library file and dataset
interfaces
* added new logutil functions: darshan_log_get_modules,
darshan_log_get_name_records, and darshan_log_get_record (contributed
by Jakob Luettgau)
* extended DXT MPIIO module to trace file offsets
* added `darshan-config --log-path` command option to display the log path(s)
configured for use with Darshan
* silenced stdout from darshan-job-summary.pl and remove --summary option
* removed Darshan stubs library traditionally used in static linking test
cases and other general simplifications of Darshan's static linking options
* fixed bug related to multiple definitions of fscanf symbols when building
Darshan (reported by Francois Trahay)
* updated Darshan's compiler wrapper generators, MPICH profiling config
hooks, and Cray software modules to explicitly link in Darshan in
dynamic linking cases using rpath
* reimplemented Darshan's MPI/PMPI wrapper macros (using functiona aliases)
to avoid potential deadlock with other PMPI tools
* made use of DESTDIR match standard automake practice (contributed by
Christopher Morrone)
* made "--with-mem-align" option optional, with a default of 8 (contributed
by Christopher Morrone)
* corrected pkgconfig path for darshan-util when using DESTDIR (reported by
Matthew Curry)
* added support for non-MPI instrumenation to Darshan, using GCC
construct/destructor attributes for bootstrapping rather than
intercepting MPI_Init()/MPI_Finalize(). This mechanism only
works for Darshan's shared library instrumentation (implemented with the
help of Glenn Lockwood)
Darshan-3.1.8
=============
* added dynamic trace triggering functionality, allowing Darshan to
decide at runtime whether or not to trace specific files with DXT,
with this decision based on triggers in a user-provided config file
Darshan-3.1.7
=============
* bug fix for handling DXT data in darshan-convert utility. Bug reported
by Mahzad Khoshlessan.
* bug fix for darshan-parser backwards compatibility: Darshan logs generated
by Darshan versions prior to 3.1.0 may have included stdio counters that
were not properly up-converted. Reported by Teng Wang.
* bug fix to MiB reported in I/O performance estimate of
darshan-job-summary.pl when both posix and stdio access is present
* added wrapper for __open_2(), bug reported by Cormac Garvey in which open
calls are not intercepted with some versions of glibc/gcc
* added an instrumentation module for the MDHIM key/val storage system
* added support for properly instrumenting dup(), fileno(), fdopen(), and
rename() calls
Darshan-3.1.6
=============
* bug fix for linker failures caused when linking external libraries
that use MPI internally (e.g., PETSc). Reported by Bilel Hadri.
* bug fix in mapping of Darshan's MPI_File_read_all wrapper to the
underlying MPI library call in dynamic linking case
Darshan-3.1.5
=============
* modify Darshan MPI instrumentation method to intercept both MPI and
PMPI symbols to workaround MPI implementations that are calling
PMPI routines directly (e.g., the Fortran bindings of OpenMPI2).
Contributed in part by Chris Zimmer.
* add a new python utility for analzying DXT trace files (dxt_analyzer).
Contributed by Alex Sim.
* bug fix to disable Darshan module instrumentation after the
Darshan shutdown procedure has began, an issue that was
leading to negative timers in some cases
* bug fix for autoconf ignoring specified libbz2 location. Contributed
by Glenn Lockwood.
* add regression tests harnesses for Cray systems at ALCF & NERSC
* add support for DARSHAN_EXCLUDE_DIRS environment variable to
explicitly disable instrumentation for files in given
directories. Contributed by Cristian Simarro.
* correct "undefined reference to `__wrap_H5get_libversion'" linker failure
when compiling some HDF5 programs, reported by Jialin Liu
* bug fix in darshan-merge utility related to logs containing DXT trace
data. Reported by Glenn Lockwood.
Darshan-3.1.4
=============
* bug fix to prevent darshan-parser segfault when parsing logs with
DXT module data present. Reported by James Dickson.
* bug fixes to make the darshan-diff utility functional again.
Darshan-3.1.3
=============
* disable instrumentation for mmap when dynamically linking; this avoids a
potential deadlock condition on Cray systems using dynamically linked
executabes. Reported by Cristian Simarro for dynamic linking case.
Darshan-3.1.3-pre1
=============
* add new DxT instrumentation modules to provide fine-grained read/write
operation tracing at both the POSIX and MPI-IO layers
- this functionality should be enabled at runtime by exporting the
DXT_ENABLE_IO_TRACE environment variable
- trace output is stored within Darshan's traditional log file format
- a corresponding trace parser (darshan-dxt-parser) is offered within
darshan-util to allow the DxT trace modules to be parsed and displayed
- this software was contributed by Cong Xu and Intel's HPDD division.
* add logic to allow Darshan to capture command line arguments from Fortran
applications (contributed by Cristian Simarro)
* skip instrumentation attempts for anonymous mmap() calls; this avoids a
potentential deadlock condition when used with hugepages on Cray systems.
Reported by Glenn Lockwood for static linking case.
* fix segmentation fault in statistics collection for applications that issue
operations with a large number of distince access sizes or strides on the
same file. Reported by Glenn Lockwood.
* disable HDF5 module by default unless enabled using --enable-HDF5-post-1.10
or --enable-HDF5-pre-1.10 configure arguments. These options
vary the wrapper prototypes to match the corresponding HDF5 library ABI.
The initial patch for HDF5 1.10 compatibility was contributed by
Karl-Ulrich Bamberg.
* modified Darshan's path exclusion logic to include a whitelist to prevent
I/O to/from Cray's Datawarp service from being filtered out (it is located
within the /var directory, which historically has been excluded). Reported
by Glenn Lockwood.
Darshan-3.1.2
=============
* bug fix in resolving underlying call to fopen64 when using the LD_PRELOAD
instrumentation mechanism
* bug fix to make sure Lustre module headers are installed when installing

timestamps in some cases
- reported by Wucherl (William) Yoo
Darshan-3.1.0
=============
* add stdio I/O library instrumentation module (Philip Carns)
- this handles instrumentation of file stream I/O functions
like fopen(), fprintf(), fscanf(), etc.
- this module also captures stats on the standard streams (stdin,
stdout, & stderr)
* add Lustre instrumentation module (Glenn Lockwood)
- this module provides Lustre striping details (e.g., stripe
width, stripe size, list of OSTs a file is striped over)
* add new mmap-based logging mechanism that allows Darshan to
generate output logs even in cases where applications don't
call MPI_Finalize()
- these logs are uncompressed and are per-process rather
than per-job
* add the darshan-merge utility to darshan-util to allow per-process
logs generated by the mmap-based logging mechanism to be converted
into Darshan's traditional compressed per-job log files
* augment the POSIX module timestamp counters to also include a
LAST_OPEN & FIRST_CLOSE counters to give more details on application
I/O intervals
* avoid saving duplicate mount point entries in Darshan log files
Darshan-3.0.1
=============
* bug fix in darshan logutil mount parsing code that was
causing file paths to be matched to the first mount point
with a common prefix rather than the one with the longest
common prefix
* bug fix in the darshan-util bzip2 configure check that
was accidentally overwriting Darshan's LDFLAGS
* minor bug fixes to IO start time counters in all modules
to set IO start time to the actual first start time rather
than the first IO op to complete
* update darshan-util perl scripts to get perl bin from
user's path, rather than from /usr/lib (reported by
Kay Thust)
* update Darshan's fortran and cxx compiler wrapper generators
to automatically detect MPICH library names on BG/Q

darshan-util component, otherwise compiler errors are
generated when building external tools that use
libdarshan-util
* update docs to give debugging tips for cases where
Darshan logs are not generated
* fix shared library regression test script to check for
potential errors with Darshan symbols rather than
failing silently in these cases

shared file reductions in all modules
* loosen Darshan's PMPI symbol check to prevent inadvertent
disabling of Darshan for some MPICH builds
* update runtime docs to give information on upgrading Darshan

* fix numerous configure bugs on Cray systems
* add synthetic benchmarking hooks for testing Darshan's shutdown
procedure
Darshan-3.0.0-pre3
=============

to handle different versions of a module's I/O data for backwards
compatibility -- NOTE: this breaks the log file parsing for logs
obtained using Darshan-3.0.0-pre2 & Darshan-3.0.0-pre1
* bug fix in regression test scripts for setting proper environment
variables to use MPI profiling configuration for Fortran apps
* bug fix in bzip2 log writing implementation in darshan-logutils

of Darshan (3.0) (Matthieu Dorier)
* add enhancement to darshan-runtime to allow per-module instrumentation
memory to be user configurable using a configure option or a runtime
environment variable
Darshan-3.0.0-pre1
=============
* new version of Darshan with the following features/improvements:
- hooks for developers to add their own instrumentation module
implementations to capture new I/O characterization data
- these instrumentation modules can be used to instrument new
I/O interfaces or gather system-specific parameters, for instance
- modularized log format allows new module-specific utilities to
access their I/O characterization data independently
- this new format also allows new counters to be added to existing
instrumentation modules without breaking existing utilities
- Darshan logs now contain a mapping of Darshan's unique record
identifiers to full file names, instead of fix-sized file name
suffixes
- a new instrumentation module for capturing BG/Q-specific parameters
(BG/Q environment is automatically detected at configure time)
(implemented by Kevin Harms)

new modularized log format
* updated documentation outlining changes in this release, as well as
steps for adding new instrumentation modules is given in the top-level
'doc' directory.

Darshan to to generate log files with the group read permission bit set.
This option is useful in conjunction with deployments that set the setgid
bit on log directories.
darshan-2.2.4
=============
* Disable extra stat() of newly opened files by default. This improves
performance on shared files for some platforms. Reported by Yushu Yao.

* Fix missing -lz in post ld flags reported by Yushu Yao. Fixes a link-time
error for some corner-case applications.
* Fix bug in Cray compiler script patches that was setting compiler flags
incorrectly. Reported by Yushu Yao.
WARNING: if you are using a previous Darshan release (2.2.3 through
2.2.4-pre4) on a Cray platform, please re-patch your compiler scripts.
* Update darshan-gen-* scripts to support the potential for additonal LDFLAGS
