This patch updates the "zpool status/iostat -c" commands to only run
"pre-baked" scripts from the /etc/zfs/zpool.d directory (or wherever
you install to). The scripts can only be run from -c as an unprivileged
user (unless the ZPOOL_SCRIPTS_AS_ROOT environment var is
set by root). This was done to encourage scripts to be written is such
a way that normal users can use them, and to be cautious. If your
script needs to run a privileged command, consider adding the
appropriate line in /etc/sudoers. See zpool(8) for an example of how
to do this.
The patch also allows the scripts to output custom column names. If
the script outputs a line like:
name=value
then "name" is used for the column name, and "value" is its value.
Multiple columns can be specified by outputting multiple lines. Column
names and values can have spaces. If the value is empty, a dash (-) is
printed instead.
After all the "name=value" lines are read (if any), zpool will take the
next the next line of output (if any) and print it without a column
header. After that, no more lines will be processed. This can be
useful for printing errors.
Lastly, this patch also disables the -c option with the latency and
request size histograms, since it produced awkward output and made the
code harder to maintain.

Porting Notes:
- Updated 'zpool labelclear' and 'zdb -l' such that they attempt
to find a vdev given solely its short name. This behavior is
consistent with the upstream OpenZFS code and the test cases
depend on it. The actual implementation differs slightly due
to device naming conventions on Linux.
- auto_online_001_pos, auto_replace_001_pos and add-o_ashift
test cases updated to expect failure when no label exists.
- read_efi_label() and zpool_label_disk_check() are read-only
operations and should use O_RDONLY at open time to enforce this.
- zpool_label_disk() and zpool_relabel_disk() write the partition
information using O_DIRECT an fsync() and page cache invalidation
to ensure a consistent view of the device.
- dump_label() in zdb should invalidate the page cache in order
to get the authoritative label from disk.

When a pool is suspended it's impossible to read the list
of damaged files from disk. This would result in a generic
misleading "insufficient permissions" error message.
Update zpool_get_errlog() to use the standard zpool error
logging functions to generate a useful error message. In
this case:
errors: List of errors unavailable: pool I/O is currently suspended
This patch does not address the related issue of potentially
not being able to resume a suspend pool when the underlying
device names have changed.
Additionally, remove the error handling from zfs_alloc()
in zpool_get_errlog() for readability since this function
can never fail.

Do not force VDEV_NAME_TYPE_ID in max_width(), instead add it

The first location of max_width() where VDEV_NAME_TYPE_ID is
now added in show_import() is followed by print_import_config() and
print_logs(). Both these print children vdev names that have been
retrieved using an explicit VDEV_NAME_TYPE_ID added.
The second location is in status_callback(). This is followed by
print_status_config(), print_logs(), print_l2cache(), and
print_spares(). For l2cache and spares it should not matter as there
are no mirror-X or raidz-X involved. print_status_config() as above
retrieves the name using explicit VDEV_NAME_TYPE_ID before
calling itself to print children.
The call of max_width() in get_namewidth() is not changed, as this is
used by zpool_do_iostat(), followed by print_iostat(), which does not
add VDEV_NAME_TYPE_ID.

This patch adds a command (-c) option to zpool status and zpool iostat. The
-c option allows you to run an arbitrary command on each vdev and display
the first line of output in zpool status/iostat. The environment vars
VDEV_PATH and VDEV_UPATH are set to the vdev's path and "underlying path"
before running the command. For device mapper, multipath, or partitioned
vdevs, VDEV_UPATH is the actual underlying /dev/sd* disk. This can be useful
if the command you're running requires a /dev/sd* device.
The patch also uses /sys/block/<dev>/slaves/ to lookup the underlying device
instead of using libdevmapper. This not only removes the libdevmapper
requirement at build time, but also allows you to resolve device mapper
devices without being root. This means that UDEV_UPATH get set correctly
when running zpool status/iostat as an unprivileged user.
Example:
$ zpool status -c 'echo I am $VDEV_PATH, $VDEV_UPATH'

ZFS allows for specific permissions to be delegated to normal users
with the `zfs allow` and `zfs unallow` commands. In addition, non-
privileged users should be able to run all of the following commands:
* zpool [list | iostat | status | get]
* zfs [list | get]
Historically this functionality was not available on Linux. In order
to add it the secpolicy_* functions needed to be implemented and mapped
to the equivalent Linux capability. Only then could the permissions on
the `/dev/zfs` be relaxed and the internal ZFS permission checks used.
Even with this change some limitations remain. Under Linux only the
root user is allowed to modify the namespace (unless it's a private
namespace). This means the mount, mountpoint, canmount, unmount,
and remount delegations cannot be supported with the existing code. It
may be possible to add this functionality in the future.
This functionality was validated with the cli_user and delegation test
cases from the ZFS Test Suite. These tests exhaustively verify each
of the supported permissions which can be delegated and ensures only
an authorized user can perform it.
Two minor bug fixes were required for test-running.py. First, the
Timer() object cannot be safely created in a `try:` block when there
is an unconditional `finally` block which references it. Second,
when running as a normal user also check for scripts using the
both the .ksh and .sh suffixes.
Finally, existing users who are simulating delegations by setting
group permissions on the /dev/zfs device should revert that
customization when updating to a version with this change.

When partitioning a device a name may be specified for each partition.
Internally zfs doesn't use this partition name for anything so it
has always just been set to "zfs".
However this isn't optimal because udev will create symlinks using
this name in /dev/disk/by-partlabel/. If the name isn't unique
then all the links cannot be created.
Therefore a random 64-bit value has been added to the partition
label, i.e "zfs-1234567890abcdef". Additional information could
be encoded here but since partitions may be reused that might
result in confusion and it was decided against.

Historically libblkid support was detected as part of configure
and optionally enabled. This was done because at the time support
for detecting ZFS pool vdevs had just be added to libblkid and
those updated packages were not yet part of many distributions.
This is no longer the case and any reasonably current distribution
will ship a version of libblkid which can detect ZFS pool vdevs.
This patch makes libblkid mandatory at build time and libblkid
the preferred method of scanning for ZFS pools. For distributions
which include a modern version of libblkid there is no change in
behavior. Explicitly scanning the default search paths is still
supported and can be enabled with the '-s' command line option.
Additionally making libblkid mandatory means that the 'zpool create'
command can reliably detect if a specified device has an existing
non-ZFS filesystem (ext4, xfs) and print a warning.

Creating virtual machines that have their rootfs on ZFS on hosts that
have their rootfs on ZFS causes SPA namespace collisions when the
standard name rpool is used. The solution is either to give each guest
pool a name unique to the host, which is not always desireable, or boot
a VM environment containing an ISO image to install it, which is
cumbersome.
26b42f3f9d introduced `zpool import -t
...` to simplify situations where a host must access a guest's pool when
there is a SPA namespace conflict. We build upon that to introduce
`zpool import -t tname ...`. That allows us to create a pool whose
in-core name is tname, but whose on-disk name is the normal name
specified.
This simplifies the creation of machine images that use a rootfs on ZFS.
That benefits not only real world deployments, but also ZFSOnLinux
development by decreasing the time needed to perform rootfs on ZFS
experiments.
