I recently gained the ability to run Clang's static analyzer on the
linux kernel modules via a few hacks. This extended coverage to code
that was previously missed since Clang's static analyzer only looked at
code that we built in userspace. Running it against the Linux kernel
modules built from my local branch produced a total of 72 reports
against my local branch. Of those, 50 were reports of logic errors and
22 were reports of dead code. Since we already had cleaned up all of
the previous dead code reports, I felt it would be a good next step to
clean up these dead code reports. Clang did a further breakdown of the
dead code reports into:
Dead assignment 15
Dead increment 2
Dead nested assignment 5
The benefit of cleaning these up, especially in the case of dead nested
assignment, is that they can expose places where our error handling is
incorrect. A number of them were fairly straight forward. However
several were not:
In vdev_disk_physio_completion(), not only were we not using the return
value from the static function vdev_disk_dio_put(), but nothing used it,
so I changed it to return void and removed the existing (void) cast in
the other area where we call it in addition to no longer storing it to a
stack value.
In FSE_createDTable(), the function is dead code. Its helper function
FSE_freeDTable() is also dead code, as are the CPP definitions in
`module/zstd/include/zstd_compat_wrapper.h`. We just delete it all.
In zfs_zevent_wait(), we have an optimization opportunity. cv_wait_sig()
returns 0 if there are waiting signals and 1 if there are none. The
Linux SPL version literally returns `signal_pending(current) ? 0 : 1)`
and FreeBSD implements the same semantics, we can just do
`!cv_wait_sig()` in place of `signal_pending(current)` to avoid
unnecessarily calling it again.
zfs_setattr() on FreeBSD version did not have error handling issue
because the code was removed entirely from FreeBSD version. The error is
from updating the attribute directory's files. After some thought, I
decided to propapage errors on it to userspace.
In zfs_secpolicy_tmp_snapshot(), we ignore a lack of permission from the
first check in favor of checking three other permissions. I assume this
is intentional.
In zfs_create_fs(), the return value of zap_update() was not checked
despite setting an important version number. I see no backward
compatibility reason to permit failures, so we add an assertion to catch
failures. Interestingly, Linux is still using ASSERT(error == 0) from
OpenSolaris while FreeBSD has switched to the improved ASSERT0(error)
from illumos, although illumos has yet to adopt it here. ASSERT(error ==
0) was used on Linux while ASSERT0(error) was used on FreeBSD since the
entire file needs conversion and that should be the subject of
another patch.
dnode_move()'s issue was caused by us not having implemented
POINTER_IS_VALID() on Linux. We have a stub in
`include/os/linux/spl/sys/kmem_cache.h` for it, when it really should be
in `include/os/linux/spl/sys/kmem.h` to be consistent with
Illumos/OpenSolaris. FreeBSD put both `POINTER_IS_VALID()` and
`POINTER_INVALIDATE()` in `include/os/freebsd/spl/sys/kmem.h`, so we
copy what it did.
Whenever a report was in platform-specific code, I checked the FreeBSD
version to see if it also applied to FreeBSD, but it was only relevant a
few times.
Lastly, the patch that enabled Clang's static analyzer to be run on the
Linux kernel modules needs more work before it can be put into a PR. I
plan to do that in the future as part of the on-going static analysis
work that I am doing.

Closes#14380
Coverity found a bug in `zfs_secpolicy_create_clone()` where it is
possible for us to pass an unterminated string when `zfs_get_parent()`
returns an error. Upon inspection, it is clear that using `strlcpy()`
would have avoided this issue.
Looking at the codebase, there are a number of other uses of `strncpy()`
that are unsafe and even when it is used safely, switching to
`strlcpy()` would make the code more readable. Therefore, we switch all
instances where we use `strncpy()` to use `strlcpy()`.
Unfortunately, we do not portably have access to `strlcpy()` in
tests/zfs-tests/cmd/zfs_diff-socket.c because it does not link to
libspl. Modifying the appropriate Makefile.am to try to link to it
resulted in an error from the naming choice used in the file. Trying to
disable the check on the file did not work on FreeBSD because Clang
ignores `#undef` when a definition is provided by `-Dstrncpy(...)=...`.
We workaround that by explictly including the C file from libspl into
the test. This makes things build correctly everywhere.
We add a deprecation warning to `config/Rules.am` and suppress it on the
remaining `strncpy()` usage. `strlcpy()` is not portably avaliable in
tests/zfs-tests/cmd/zfs_diff-socket.c, so we use `snprintf()` there as a
substitute.
This patch does not tackle the related problem of `strcpy()`, which is
even less safe. Thankfully, a quick inspection found that it is used far
more correctly than strncpy() was used. A quick inspection did not find
any problems with `strcpy()` usage outside of zhack, but it should be
said that I only checked around 90% of them.
Lastly, some of the fields in kstat_t varied in size by 1 depending on
whether they were in userspace or in the kernel. The origin of this
discrepancy appears to be 04a479f706 where
it was made for no apparent reason. It conflicts with the comment on
KSTAT_STRLEN, so we shrink the kernel field sizes to match the userspace
field sizes.

Parts of the Linux kernel build system struggle with _Noreturn. This
results in the following warnings when building on RHEL 8.5, and likely
other environments. Switch to using the __attribute__((noreturn)).
warning: objtool: dbuf_free_range()+0x2b8:
return with modified stack frame
warning: objtool: dbuf_free_range()+0x0:
stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+40 cfa2=7+8

WARNING: EXPORT symbol "arc_buf_size" [zfs.ko] version generation
failed, symbol will not be versioned.
WARNING: EXPORT symbol "spa_open" [zfs.ko] version generation
failed, symbol will not be versioned.
...
Additionally, __thread_exit() has been renamed spl_thread_exit() and
made a static inline function. This was needed because the kernel
will generate a warning for symbols which are __attribute__((noreturn))
and then exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL.
While we could continue to use _Noreturn in user space I've also
switched it to __attribute__((noreturn)) purely for consistency
throughout the code base.

This change adds SIGSTOP and SIGTSTP handling to the issig function;
this mirrors its behavior on Solaris. This way, long running kernel
tasks can be stopped with the appropriate signals. Note that doing
so with ctrl-z on the command line doesn't return control of the tty
to the shell, because tty handling is done separately from stopping
the process. That can be future work, if people feel that it is a
necessary addition.

Contrary to initial testing we cannot rely on these kernels to
invalidate the per-cpu FPU state and restore the FPU registers.
Nor can we guarantee that the kernel won't modify the FPU state
which we saved in the task struck.
Therefore, the kfpu_begin() and kfpu_end() functions have been
updated to save and restore the FPU state using our own dedicated
per-cpu FPU state variables.
This has the additional advantage of allowing us to use the FPU
again in user threads. So we remove the code which was added to
use task queues to ensure some functions ran in kernel threads.
