The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides
|
|
|
|
|
many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to
|
|
|
|
|
run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal
|
|
|
|
|
modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track
|

|
|
|
upstream Solaris development closely and do not want the overhead of
|
2010-06-30 01:13:07 +04:00
|
|
|
maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux
|
|
|
|
|
primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-09-15 20:05:34 +04:00
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
$ make pkg
|

|
|
|
If you are building directly from the git tree and not an officially
|
|
|
|
|
released tarball you will need to generate the configure script.
|
|
|
|
|
This can be done by executing the autogen.sh script after installing
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU autotools for your distribution.

To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin
|
|
|
|
|
compilation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...

The SPL comes with an automated test suite called SPLAT. The test suite
|
|
|
|
|
is implemented in two parts. There is a kernel module which contains
|
|
|
|
|
the tests and a user space utility which controls which tests are run.
|
|
|
|
|
To run the full test suite:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ sudo insmod ./module/splat/splat.ko
|
|
|
|
|
$ sudo ./cmd/splat --all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Full documentation for building, configuring, testing, and using the
|
|
|

SPL can be found at: <http://zfsonlinux.org>
