c9b5cc8c00 Move the libraries into separate packages
From day one the various ZFS libraries should have been placed in their
own sub-packages.  Primarily this allows for multiple major versions of
the libraries to be concurrently installed.  It also facilitates a
smaller build environment by minimizing the required dependencies.

The specific changes required to split the libraries from the utilities
are as follows:

* libzpool2, libnvpair1, libuutil1, and libzfs2 packages were added
  and contain the versioned shared libraries.  The Fedora packaging
  guidelines discourage providing static libraries so they are not
  included in the packages.

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries

* The zfs-devel package was renamed libzfs2-devel and the new package
  obsoletes the old zfs-devel package.   This package includes all
  the required headers for the libzpool2, libnvpair1, libuutil1, and
  libzfs2 libraries and their respective unversioned shared libraries.

  This package should eventually be split in to individual lib*-devel
  packages but it will still take some work to cleanly separate them.
  Therefore the libzfs2-devel package provides the expected lib*-devel
  packages so the all proper dependencies can still be created.

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages

* Moved '/sbin/ldconfig' execution from the zfs packge to each of the
  new library packages as described by the packaging guidelines.

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Shared_Libraries

* The /usr/share/doc/ files were moved in to the libzfs2-devel package.

* Updated config/deb.am to be aware of the packaging changes.  This
  ensures that 'deb-utils' make target converts all the resulting
  packages generated by the 'rpm-utils' target.

79aada6105 Restrict release number to META version
When creating packages in a git repository the release number
can be automatically set by 'git describe'.  This normally works
well but if your repository has newer tags which match the form
NAME-VERSION* the release may be incorrectly calculated.  To
prevent this the match patten has been restricted to the contents
of the META file, NAME-VERSION.

a073aeb060 Add KMC_SLAB cache type
For small objects the Linux slab allocator has several advantages
over its counterpart in the SPL.  These include:

1) It is more memory-efficient and packs objects more tightly.
2) It is continually tuned to maximize performance.

Therefore it makes sense to layer the SPLs slab allocator on top
of the Linux slab allocator.  This allows us to leverage the
advantages above while preserving the Illumos semantics we depend
on.  However, there are some things we need to be careful of:

1) The Linux slab allocator was never designed to work well with
   large objects.  Because the SPL slab must still handle this use
   case a cut off limit was added to transition from Linux slab
   backed objects to kmem or vmem backed slabs.

   spl_kmem_cache_slab_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
   size in bytes will be backed by the Linux slab.  By default
   this value is zero which disables the Linux slab functionality.
   Reasonable values for this cut off limit are in the range of
   4096-16386 bytes.

   spl_kmem_cache_kmem_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
   size in bytes will be backed by a kmem slab.  Objects over this
   size will be vmem backed instead.  This value defaults to
   1/8 a page, or 512 bytes on an x86_64 architecture.

2) Be aware that using the Linux slab may inadvertently introduce
   new deadlocks.  Care has been taken previously to ensure that
   all allocations which occur in the write path use GFP_NOIO.
   However, there may be internal allocations performed in the
   Linux slab which do not honor these flags.  If this is the case
   a deadlock may occur.

The path forward is definitely to start relying on the Linux slab.
But for that to happen we need to start building confidence that
there aren't any unexpected surprises lurking for us.  And ideally
need to move completely away from using the SPLs slab for large
memory allocations.  This patch is a first step.

NOTES:
1) The KMC_NOMAGAZINE flag was leveraged to support the Linux slab
   backed caches but it is not supported for kmem/vmem backed caches.

2) Regardless of the spl_kmem_cache_*_limit settings a cache may
   be explicitly set to a given type by passed the KMC_KMEM,
   KMC_VMEM, or KMC_SLAB flags during cache creation.

3) The constructors, destructors, and reclaim callbacks are all
   functional and will be called regardless of the cache type.

4) KMC_SLAB caches will not appear in /proc/spl/kmem/slab due to
   the issues involved in presenting correct object accounting.
   Instead they will appear in /proc/slabinfo under the same names.

5) Several kmem SPLAT tests needed to be fixed because they relied
   incorrectly on internal kmem slab accounting.  With the updated
   test cases all the SPLAT tests pass as expected.

6) An autoconf test was added to ensure that the __GFP_COMP flag
   was correctly added to the default flags used when allocating
   a slab.  This is required to ensure all pages in higher order
   slabs are properly refcounted, see ae16ed9.

7) When using the SLUB allocator there is no need to attempt to
   set the __GFP_COMP flag.  This has been the default behavior
   for the SLUB since Linux 2.6.25.

8) When using the SLUB it may be desirable to set the slub_nomerge
   kernel parameter to prevent caches from being merged.

518eba1492 Replace check for _POSIX_MEMLOCK w/ HAVE_MLOCKALL
zed supports a '-M' cmdline opt to lock all pages in memory via
mlockall().  The _POSIX_MEMLOCK define is checked to determine whether
this function is supported.  The current test assumes mlockall()
is supported if _POSIX_MEMLOCK is non-zero.  However, this test is
insufficient according to mlock(2) and sysconf(3).  If _POSIX_MEMLOCK
is -1, mlockall() is not supported; but if _POSIX_MEMLOCK is 0,
availability must be checked at runtime.

This commit adds an autoconf check for mlockall() to user.m4.  The zed
code block for mlockall() is now guarded with a test for HAVE_MLOCKALL.
If defined, mlockall() will be called and its runtime availability
checked via its return value.

07917db990 Add defs for makefile installation dir vars
Add macro definitions to AM_CPPFLAGS to propagate makefile installation
directory variables for libexecdir, runstatedir, sbindir, and
sysconfdir.

https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Installation-Directory-Variables.html

  A corollary is that you should not use these variables except
  in makefiles. For instance, instead of trying to evaluate
  datadir in configure and hard-coding it in makefiles using e.g.,
  'AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([DATADIR], ["$datadir"], [Data directory.])',
  you should add -DDATADIR='$(datadir)' to your makefile's definition
  of CPPFLAGS (AM_CPPFLAGS if you are also using Automake).

The runstatedir directory is for "installing data files which the
programs modify while they run, that pertain to one specific machine,
and which need not persist longer than the execution of the program".

https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html

It will be defined by autoconf 2.70 or later, and default to
"$(localstatedir)/run".

881f45c6a8 Add systemd unit files for ZFS startup
This adds systemd unit files replacing the functionality offered by

It has been developed and tested on Fedora 19, Fedora 20
and openSuSE 13.1.

Four unit files and one target are offered.

zfs-import-cache.service:
    Import pools from /etc/zfs/zpool.cache. This unit will wait for
    udev to settle.
zfs-import-scan.service:
    Import pools by scanning /dev/disk/by-id for zvols. This unit will
    only run if /etc/zfs/zpool.cache is not present. This unit will wait
    for udev to settle
zfs-mount.service:
    Mount ZFS native filesystems. It contains a dependency to be loaded
    before local-fs.target.
zfs-share.service:
    Share NFS/SMB filesystems. This unit contains a dependency that
    will cause it to be restarted whenever the smb or nfs-server unit
    is restarted, restoring the shares added.
zfs.target:
    This target pulls in the other units in order to start ZFS. It's
    the only unit that can be enabled/disabled, all other services
    are static and pulled in by dependencies. It will honour zfs=off
    and zfs=no options on the kernel command line.

0f62f3f9ab Disable GCCs aggressive loop optimization
GCC >+ 4.8's aggressive loop optimization breaks some of the iterators
over the dn_blkptr[] pseudo-array in dnode_phys. Since dn_blkptr[] is
defined as a single-element array, GCC believes an iterator can only
access index 0 and will unroll the loop into a single iteration.

One way to resolve the issue would be to cast the array to a pointer
and fix all the iterators that might break.  The only loop where it
is known to cause a problem is this loop in dmu_objset_write_ready():

    for (i = 0; i < dnp->dn_nblkptr; i++)
            bp->blk_fill += dnp->dn_blkptr[i].blk_fill;

In the common case where dn_nblkptr is 3, the loop is only executed a
single time and "i" is equal to 1 following the loop.

The specific breakage caused by this problem is that the blk_fill of
root block pointers wouldn't be set properly when more than one blkptr
is in use (when no indrect blocks are needed).

The simple reproducing sequence is:

zpool create tank /tank.img
zdb -ddddd tank 0

Notice that "fill=31", however, there are two L0 indirect blocks with
"F=31" and "F=5". The fill count should be 36 rather than 31. This
problem causes an assert to be hit in a simple "zdb tank" when built
with --enable-debug.

However, this approach was not taken because we need to be absolutely
sure we catch all instances of this unwanted optimization.  Therefore,
the build system has been updated to detect if GCC supports the
aggressive loop optimization.  If it does the optimization will be
explicitly disabled using the -fno-aggressive-loop-optimization option.

11b9ec23b9 Add full SELinux support
Four new dataset properties have been added to support SELinux.  They
are 'context', 'fscontext', 'defcontext' and 'rootcontext' which map
directly to the context options described in mount(8).  When one of
these properties is set to something other than 'none'.  That string
will be passed verbatim as a mount option for the given context when
the filesystem is mounted.

For example, if you wanted the rootcontext for a filesystem to be set
to 'system_u:object_r:fs_t' you would set the property as follows:

  $ zfs set rootcontext="system_u:object_r:fs_t" storage-pool/media

This will ensure the filesystem is automatically mounted with that
rootcontext.  It is equivalent to manually specifying the rootcontext
with the -o option like this:

  $ zfs mount -o rootcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t storage-pool/media

By default all four contexts are set to 'none'.  Further information
on SELinux contexts is detailed in mount(8) and selinux(8) man pages.

184c687387 Emulate illumos interface cv_timedwait_hires()
Needed for Illumos #3582. This interface is supposed to support
a variable-resolution timeout with nanosecond granularity.  This
implementation rounds up to microsecond resolution, as nanosecond-
precision timing is rarely needed for real-world performance
tuning and may incur unnecessary busy-waiting.  usleep_range() is
used if available, otherwise udelay() or msleep() are used
depending on the length of the delay interval.

Add flags from sys/callo.h as these are used to control the behavior of
cv_timedwait_hires().  Specifically,

CALLOUT_FLAG_ABSOLUTE
    Normally, the expiration passed to the timeout API functions is
    an expiration interval. If this flag is specified, then it is
    interpreted as the expiration time itself.

CALLOUT_FLAG_ROUNDUP
    Roundup the expiration time to the next resolution boundary. If this
    flag is not specified, the expiration time is rounded down.

023699cd62 Posix ACL Support
This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr
which is common practice for many Linux file systems.  Since the
Posix ACL is stored as an xattr it will not overwrite any existing
ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs which may have been set.  The Posix ACL will also
be non-functional on other platforms although it may be visible
as an xattr if that platform understands SA based xattrs.

By default Posix ACLs are disabled but they may be enabled with
the new 'aclmode=noacl|posixacl' property.  Set the property to
'posixacl' to enable them.  If ZFS/NFSv4 ACL support is ever added
an appropriate acltype will be added.

This change passes the POSIX Test Suite cleanly with the exception
of xacl/00.t test 45 which is incorrect for Linux (Ext4 fails too).

1db7b9be75 Fix libblkid support
libblkid support is dormant because the autotools check is broken and
liblkid identifies ZFS vdevs as "zfs_member", not "zfs". We fix that
with a few changes:

First, we fix the libblkid autotools check to do a few things:

1. Make a 64MB file, which is the minimum size ZFS permits.
2. Make 4 fake uberblock entries to make libblkid's check succeed.
3. Return 0 upon success to make autotools use the success case.
4. Include stdlib.h to avoid implicit declration of free().
5. Check for "zfs_member", not "zfs"
6. Make --with-blkid disable autotools check (avoids Gentoo sandbox violation)
7. Pass '-lblkid' correctly using LIBS not LDFLAGS.

Second, we change the libblkid support to scan for "zfs_member", not
"zfs".

This makes --with-blkid work on Gentoo.

To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate
interface.  Care was taken to keep the majority of changes
confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific.
However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir()
function.

Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding
versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions.  Also the
various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers
which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new
*_iterate() functions.

Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from
passing a private pointer to the filldir function.  The xattr
directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir()
to generate the list of xattr names.  Since we can no longer
use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function
was added to perform the same task.

f7fd6ddd96 Linux 3.8 compat: Use kuid_t/kgid_t when required
When CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS is enabled uid_t/git_t are
replaced by kuid_t/kgid_t, which are structures instead of integral
types. This causes any code that uses an integral type to fail to build.
The User Namespace functionality introduced in Linux 3.8 requires
CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS, so we could not build against any
kernel that supported it.

We resolve this by converting between the new kuid_t/kgid_t structures
and the original uid_t/gid_t types.

dba1d70566 Fix arc_adapt() spinning in iterate_supers_type()
The iterate_supers_type() function which was introduced in the
3.0 kernel was supposed to provide a safe way to call an arbitrary
function on all super blocks of a specific type.  Unfortunately,
because a list_head was used a bug was introduced which made it
possible for iterate_supers_type() to get stuck spinning on a
super block which was just deactivated.

This can occur because when the list head is removed from the
fs_supers list it is reinitialized to point to itself.  If the
iterate_supers_type() function happened to be processing the
removed list_head it will get stuck spinning on that list_head.

The bug was fixed in the 3.3 kernel by converting the list_head
to an hlist_node.  However, to resolve the issue for existing
3.0 - 3.2 kernels we detect when a list_head is used.  Then to
prevent the spinning from occurring the .next pointer is set to
the fs_supers list_head which ensures the iterate_supers_type()
function will always terminate.

802e7b5feb Add SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE to lseek()/llseek()
The approach taken was the rework zfs_holey() as little as
possible and then just wrap the code as needed to ensure
correct locking and error handling.

Tested with xfstests 285 and 286.  All tests pass except for
7-9 of 285 which try to reserve blocks first via fallocate(2)
and fail because fallocate(2) is not yet supported.

Note that the filp->f_lock spinlock did not exist prior to
Linux 2.6.30, but we avoid the need for autotools check by
virtue of the fact that SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE support was not
added until Linux 3.1.

An autoconf check was added for lseek_execute() which is
currently a private function but the expectation is that it
will be exported perhaps as early as Linux 3.11.

The previous code was only waiting for the symver file. But the

If we are waiting in the configure script of ZFS for the SPL
symvers file, then we also need to wait for spl_config.h.
Otherwise the configure script will abort because the spl_config.h
is not yet available.

On top of that, the function ZFS_AC_SPL_MODULE_SYMVERS is moved
to the end of the function ZFS_AC_SPL to allow both checks share

* The object directory contains the file 'spl_config.h'
* The following paths will be checked.  Notice the /var/lib/
  and /usr/src paths require that the spl and zfs version be
  matched.  This is done to prevent accidentally mixing releases.

c38367c73f Eliminate runtime function pointer mods in autotools checks
PaX/GrSecurity patched kernels implement a dialect of C that relies on a
GCC plugin for enforcement. A basic idea in this dialect is that
function pointers in structures should not change during runtime.
This causes code that modifies function pointers at runtime to fail to
compile in many instances. The autotools checks rely on whether or
not small test cases compile against a given kernel. Some
autotools checks assume some default case if other cases fail. When one
of these autotools checks tests a PaX/GrSecurity patched kernel by
modifying a function pointer at runtime, the default case will be used.

Early detection of such situations is possible by relying on compiler
warnings, which are compiler errors when --enable-debug is used.
Unfortunately, very few people build ZFS with --enable-debug. The more
common situation is that these issues manifest themselves as runtime
failures in the form of NULL pointer exceptions.

Previous patches that addressed such issues with PaX/GrSecurity
compatibility largely relied on rewriting autotools checks to avoid
runtime function pointer modification or the addition of PaX/GrSecurity
specific checks. This patch takes the previous work to its logical
conclusion by eliminating the use of runtime function pointer
modification. This permits the removal of PaX-specific autotools checks
in favor of ones that work across all supported kernels.

This should resolve issues that were reported to occur with
PaX/GrSecurity-patched Linux 3.7.5 kernels on Gentoo Linux.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457176

We should be able to prevent future regressions in PaX/GrSecurity
compatibility by ensuring that all changes to ZFSOnLinux avoid runtime
function pointer modification. At the same time, this does not solve the
issue of silent failures triggering default cases in the autotools
check, which is what permitted these regressions to become runtime
failures in the first place. This will need to be addressed in a future
patch.

d9b0ebbe82 Remove the bio_empty_barrier() check.
To determine whether the kernel is capable of handling empty barrier
BIOs, we check for the presence of the bio_empty_barrier() macro,
which was introduced in 2.6.24. If this macro is defined, then we can
flush disk vdevs; if it isn't, then flushing is disabled.

Unfortunately, the bio_empty_barrier() macro was removed in 2.6.37,
even though the kernel is still capable of handling empty barrier BIOs.

As a result, flushing is effectively disabled on kernels >= 2.6.37,
meaning that starting from this kernel version, zfs doesn't use
barriers to guarantee on-disk data consistency. This is quite bad and
can lead to potential data corruption on power failures.

This patch fixes the issue by removing the configure check for
bio_empty_barrier(), as we don't support kernels <= 2.6.24 anymore.

SPL_AC_TYPE_ATOMIC64_XCHG were all directly including the

The right thing to do is include 'linux/atomic.h' however we
can't safely do this because it doesn't exist in 2.6.26 kernels.
Therefore, we include 'linux/fs.h' which in turn includes the
correct atomic header regardless of the kernel version.

failure results.

2b7ab9d4d9 Linux 2.6.26 compat, lookup_bdev()
It's doubtful many people were impacted by this but commit 6c28567
accidentally broke ZFS builds for 2.6.26 and earlier kernels.  This
commit depends on the lookup_bdev() function which exists in 2.6.26
but wasn't exported until 2.6.27.

The availability of the function isn't critical so a wrapper is
introduced which returns ERR_PTR(-ENOTSUP) when the function isn't
defined.  This will have the effect of causing zvol_is_zvol() to
always fail for 2.6.26 kernels.  This in turn means vdevs will
always get opened concurrently which is good for normal usage.
This will only become an issue if your using a zvol as a vdev in
another pool.  In which case you really should be using a newer
kernel anyway.

f1a05fa114 Fix false ENOENT on snapshot control dentries
Lookups in the snapshot control directory for an existing snapshot
fail with ENOENT if an earlier lookup failed before the snapshot was
created.  This is because the earlier lookup causes a negative dentry
to be cached which is never invalidated.

The bug can be reproduced as follows (the second ls should succeed):

 $ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
 ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory
 $ zfs snap tank@s
 $ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
 ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory

To remedy this, always invalidate cached dentries in the snapshot
control directory.  Since these entries never exist on disk there is
no significant performance penalty for the extra lookups.

Certain versions of gcc generate an 'unrecognized command

of the autoconf tests to misdetect an interface.

Now, the use of -Wunused-but-set-variable in the autoconf

4.6 compatibility problem.  So we really only need to pass
this option for version of gcc which are known to support it.

Therefore, the tests have been updated to use the result of

8780c53961 Update SAs when an inode is dirtied
Revert the portion of commit d3aa3ea which always resulted in the
SAs being update when an mmap()'ed file was closed.  That change
accidentally resulted in unexpected ctime updates which upset tools
like git.  That was always a horrible hack and I'm happy it will
never make it in to a tagged release.

The right fix is something I initially resisted doing because I
was worried about the additional overhead.  However, in hindsight
the overhead isn't as bad as I feared.

This patch implemented the sops->dirty_inode() callback which is
unsurprisingly called when an inode is dirtied.  We leverage this
callback to keep the znode SAs strictly in sync with the inode.

However, for now we're going to go slowly to avoid introducing
any new unexpected issues by only updating the atime, mtime, and
ctime.  This will cover the callpath of most concern to us.

2404b01499 Improve AF hard disk detection
Use the bdev_physical_block_size() interface to determine the
minimize write size which can be issued without incurring a
read-modify-write operation.  This is used to set the ashift
correctly to prevent a performance penalty when using AF hard
disks.

Unfortunately, this interface isn't entirely reliable because
it's not uncommon for disks to misreport this value.  For this
reason you may still need to manually set your ashift with:

  zpool create -o ashift=12 ...

The solution to this in the upstream Illumos source was to add
a white list of known offending drives.  Maintaining such a list
will be a burden, but it still may be worth doing if we can
detect a large number of these drives.  This should be considered
as future work.

Commit torvalds/linux@b8318b0 moved the __clear_close_on_exec()

Now as it turns out we only used this function to tear down

This also allows us to drop three existing autoconf tests.

bcb15891ab Linux 3.6 compat, kern_path_locked() added
The kern_path_parent() function was removed from Linux 3.6 because
it was observed that all the callers just want the parent dentry.
The simpler kern_path_locked() function replaces kern_path_parent()
and does the lookup while holding the ->i_mutex lock.

This is good news for the vn implementation because it removes the
need for us to handle the locking.  However, it makes it harder to
implement a single readable vn_remove()/vn_rename() function which
is usually what we prefer.

Therefore, we implement a new version of vn_remove()/vn_rename()
for Linux 3.6 and newer kernels.  This allows us to leave the
existing working implementation untouched, and to add a simpler
version for newer kernels.

Long term I would very much like to see all of the vn code removed
since what this code enabled is generally frowned upon in the kernel.
But that can't happen util we either abondon the zpool.cache file
or implement alternate infrastructure to update is correctly in
user space.

bbdc6ae495 Add interface for file hole punching.
This adds an interface to "punch holes" (deallocate space) in VFS
files. The interface is identical to the Solaris VOP_SPACE interface.
This interface is necessary for TRIM support on file vdevs.

This is implemented using Linux fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE), which
was introduced in 2.6.38. For a brief time before 2.6.38 this was done
using the truncate_range inode operation, which was quickly deprecated.
This patch only supports FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.

This adds support for the truncate_range() inode operation to
VOP_SPACE() for file hole punching. This API is deprecated and removed
in 3.5, so it's only useful for old kernels.

On tmpfs, the truncate_range() inode operation translates to
shmem_truncate_range(). Unfortunately, this function expects the end
offset to be inclusive and aligned to the end of a page. If it is not,
the kernel will stop with a BUG_ON().

This patch fixes the issue by adapting to the constraints set forth by
shmem_truncate_range().

ee5fd0bb80 Set zvol discard_granularity to the volblocksize.
Currently, zvols have a discard granularity set to 0, which suggests to
the upper layer that discard requests of arbirarily small size and
alignment can be made efficiently.

In practice however, ZFS does not handle unaligned discard requests
efficiently: indeed, it is unable to free a part of a block. It will
write zeros to the specified range instead, which is both useless and
inefficient (see dnode_free_range).

With this patch, zvol block devices expose volblocksize as their discard
granularity, so the upper layer is aware that it's not supposed to send
discard requests smaller than volblocksize.

476ff5a4da Handle any invalidate_inodes_check prototype.
In the comments of commit 723aa3b0c2,
mmatuska reported that the test for invalidate_inodes_check() is broken
if invalidate_inodes() takes two arguments.

This patch fixes the issue by resorting to another approach for
detecting invalidate_inodes_check(): is simply checks if
invalidate_inodes is defined as a macro. If it is, then it concludes
that invalidate_inodes_check() is available. This will continue to work
even if the prototype of invalidate_inodes_check() changes over time.

723aa3b0c2 When checking for symbol exports, try compiling.
This patch adds a new autoconf function: SPL_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL.
This new function does the following:

 - Call LINUX_TRY_COMPILE with the specified parameters.
 - If unsuccessful, return false.
 - If successful and we're configuring with --enable-linux-builtin,
   return true.
 - Else, call CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT with the specified parameters and
   return the result.

All calls to CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT are converted to
LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL so that the tests work even when configuring
for builtin on a kernel which doesn't have loadable module support, or
hasn't been built yet.

The only exception are:

 - AC_GET_VMALLOC_INFO, because we don't even have a public header to
include in the test case, but that's okay considering this symbol can
be ignored just fine.

- SPL_AC_DEVICE_CREATE, which is legacy API for 2.6.18 kernels.  Since
kernels this old are no longer supported it should arguably just be
removed entirely from the build system.

Note that we're also checking for the correct prototype with an actual
call, which was not the case with CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT. However, for
"complicated" test cases like with multiple symbol versions (e.g.
vfs_fsync), we stick with the original behavior and only check for the
function's existence.

df7cc5bc71 Fake modpost stage for LINUX_COMPILE.
Currently, when building a test case, we're compiling an entire Linux
module from beginning to end. This includes the MODPOST stage, which
generates a "conftest.mod.c" file with some boilerplate module
declaration code.

This poses a problem when configuring for built-in on kernels which have
loadable module support disabled. In this case conftest.mod.c is
referencing disabled code, resulting in a compilation failure, thus
breaking the tests.

This patch fixes the issue by faking the modpost stage when the
--enable-linux-builtin option is provided.  It does so by forcing the
modpost command to be /bin/true, and using an empty conftest.mod.c file.
The test module still compiles fine, although the result isn't loadable,
but we don't really care at this point.

Note it is important to preserve the modpost stage when building out of
tree.  This allows for the posibility of configure checks to leverage
this phase to identify GPL-only symbols.

0a6b03d3b8 Fix build failures on PaX/GRSecurity patched kernels
Gentoo Hardened kernels include the PaX/GRSecurity patches. They use a
dialect of C that relies on a GCC plugin. In particular, struct
file_operations has been marked do_const in the PaX/GRSecurity dialect,
which causes GCC to consider all instances of it as const. This caused
failures in the autotools checks and the ZFS source code.

To address this, we modify the autotools checks to take into account
differences between the PaX C dialect and the regular C dialect. We also
modify struct zfs_acl's z_ops member to be a pointer to a function
pointer table. Lastly, we modify zpl_put_link() to address a PaX change
to the function prototype of nd_get_link().  This avoids compiler errors
in the PaX/GRSecurity dialect.

Note that the change in zpl_put_link() causes a warning that becomes a
build failure when debugging is enabled. Fixing that warning requires
ryao/spl@5ca50ef459.

b5a28807cd Move partition scanning from userspace to module.
Currently, zpool online -e (dynamic vdev expansion) doesn't work on
whole disks because we're invoking ioctl(BLKRRPART) from userspace
while ZFS still has a partition open on the disk, which results in
EBUSY.

This patch moves the BLKRRPART invocation from the zpool utility to the
module. Specifically, this is done just before opening the device in
vdev_disk_open() which is called inside vdev_reopen(). This requires
jumping through some hoops to get to the disk device from the partition
device, and to make sure we can still open the partition after the
BLKRRPART call.

Note that this new code path is triggered on dynamic vdev expansion
only; other actions, like creating a new pool, are unchanged and still
call BLKRRPART from userspace.

This change also depends on API changes which are available in 2.6.37
and latter kernels.  The build system has been updated to detect this,
but there is no compatibility mode for older kernels.  This means that
online expansion will NOT be available in older kernels.  However, it
will still be possible to expand the vdev offline.

*) The .zfs/snapshot directory automount support requires a 2.6.37

   the d_automount patches.

*) Creating/destroying/renaming snapshots with mkdir/rmdir/mv
   in the .zfs/snapshot directory works as expected.  However,
   this functionality is only available to root until zfs
   delegations are finished.

      * mkdir - create a snapshot
      * rmdir - destroy a snapshot
      * mv    - rename a snapshot

The following issues are known defeciences, but we expect them to
be addressed by future commits.

*) Add automount support for kernels older the 2.6.37.  This should
   be possible using follow_link() which is what Linux did before.

*) Accessing the .zfs/snapshot directory via NFS is not yet possible.
   The majority of the ground work for this is complete.  However,
   finishing this work will require resolving some lingering
   integration issues with the Linux NFS kernel server.

*) The .zfs/shares directory exists but no futher smb functionality

30930fba21 Add support for DISCARD to ZVOLs.
DISCARD (REQ_DISCARD, BLKDISCARD) is useful for thin provisioning.
It allows ZVOL clients to discard (unmap, trim) block ranges from
a ZVOL, thus optimizing disk space usage by allowing a ZVOL to
shrink instead of just grow.

We can't use zfs_space() or zfs_freesp() here, since these functions
only work on regular files, not volumes. Fortunately we can use the
low-level function dmu_free_long_range() which does exactly what we
want.

Currently the discard operation is not added to the log. That's not
a big deal since losing discard requests cannot result in data
corruption. It would however result in disk space usage higher than
it should be. Thus adding log support to zvol_discard() is probably
a good idea for a future improvement.

34037afe24 Improve ZVOL queue behavior.
The Linux block device queue subsystem exposes a number of configurable
settings described in Linux block/blk-settings.c. The defaults for these
settings are tuned for hard drives, and are not optimized for ZVOLs. Proper
configuration of these options would allow upper layers (I/O scheduler) to
take better decisions about write merging and ordering.

Detailed rationale:

 - max_hw_sectors is set to unlimited (UINT_MAX). zvol_write() is able to
   handle writes of any size, so there's no reason to impose a limit. Let the
   upper layer decide.

 - max_segments and max_segment_size are set to unlimited. zvol_write() will
   copy the requests' contents into a dbuf anyway, so the number and size of
   the segments are irrelevant. Let the upper layer decide.

 - physical_block_size and io_opt are set to the ZVOL's block size. This
   has the potential to somewhat alleviate issue #361 for ZVOLs, by warning
   the upper layers that writes smaller than the volume's block size will be
   slow.

 - The NONROT flag is set to indicate this isn't a rotational device.
   Although the backing zpool might be composed of rotational devices, the
   resulting ZVOL often doesn't exhibit the same behavior due to the COW
   mechanisms used by ZFS. Setting this flag will prevent upper layers from
   making useless decisions (such as reordering writes) based on incorrect
   assumptions about the behavior of the ZVOL.

b18019d2d8 Fix synchronicity for ZVOLs.
zvol_write() assumes that the write request must be written to stable storage
if rq_is_sync() is true. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect. Indeed,
"sync" does *not* mean what we think it means in the context of the Linux
block layer. This is well explained in linux/fs.h:

    WRITE:       A normal async write. Device will be plugged.
    WRITE_SYNC:  Synchronous write. Identical to WRITE, but passes down
                 the hint that someone will be waiting on this IO
                 shortly.
    WRITE_FLUSH: Like WRITE_SYNC but with preceding cache flush.
    WRITE_FUA:   Like WRITE_SYNC but data is guaranteed to be on
                 non-volatile media on completion.

In other words, SYNC does not *mean* that the write must be on stable storage
on completion. It just means that someone is waiting on us to complete the
write request. Thus triggering a ZIL commit for each SYNC write request on a
ZVOL is unnecessary and harmful for performance. To make matters worse, ZVOL
users have no way to express that they actually want data to be written to
stable storage, which means the ZIL is broken for ZVOLs.

The request for stable storage is expressed by the FUA flag, so we must
commit the ZIL after the write if the FUA flag is set. In addition, we must
commit the ZIL before the write if the FLUSH flag is set.

Also, we must inform the block layer that we actually support FLUSH and FUA.

4b2220f0b9 Add --enable-debug-log configure option
Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure
was conflated with enabling ASSERT()s.  This patch clarifies things
by cleanly breaking the two subsystem apart.  The result of this
is the following behavior.

--enable-debug      - Enable/disable code wrapped in ASSERT()s.
--disable-debug       ASSERT()s are used to check invariants and
                      are never required for correct operation.
                      They are disabled by default because they
                      may impact performance.

--enable-debug-log  - Enable/disable the debug log infrastructure.
--disable-debug-log   This infrastructure allows the spl code and
                      its consumer to log messages to an in-kernel
                      log.  The granularity of the logging can be
                      controlled by a debug mask.  By default the
                      mask disables most debug messages resulting
                      in a negligible performance impact.  Because
                      of this the debug log is enabled by default.

ab26409db7 Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink
The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem
shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block.  Prior
to this change there was one shared global shrinker.

The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when
the arc_meta_limit was exceeded.  This would cause the VFS to drop
references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache.  The ARC
could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and
honor the arc_meta_limit.  Unfortunately, when per-filesystem
shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable.

This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker
interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit.  The
major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target
only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning.  Thus we
can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems.

In the context of making this change several other important
issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include:

* The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC
to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic
zfs_prune_t callback.  The ZPL layer now registers a callback to
drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates
back to the Solaris code.  This callback can also be used by
other ARC consumers such as Lustre.

  arc_add_prune_callback()
  arc_remove_prune_callback()

* The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to
arc_meta_prune for clarity.  The dnlc functions are specific to
Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already.
The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the
prune callback will request when invoked.

* Less aggressively invoke the prune callback.  We used to call
this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not
strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of
dentries and inodes.  It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit
is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from
the ARC cache.

* More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit.  When reading
meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled
notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune.

* Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC
is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache.  Remember
this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice.  If it
can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback
it will.

* This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses
of the ARC cache.  This would occur because when exceeded just the
arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c
value via arc_shrink().  This effectively shrunk the entire cache
when really we just needed to reclaim meta data.

76659dc110 Add backing_device_info per-filesystem
For a long time now the kernel has been moving away from using the
pdflush daemon to write 'old' dirty pages to disk.  The primary reason
for this is because the pdflush daemon is single threaded and can be
a limiting factor for performance.  Since pdflush sequentially walks
the dirty inode list for each super block any delay in processing can
slow down dirty page writeback for all filesystems.

The replacement for pdflush is called bdi (backing device info).  The
bdi system involves creating a per-filesystem control structure each
with its own private sets of queues to manage writeback.  The advantage
is greater parallelism which improves performance and prevents a single
filesystem from slowing writeback to the others.

For a long time both systems co-existed in the kernel so it wasn't
strictly required to implement the bdi scheme.  However, as of
Linux 2.6.36 kernels the pdflush functionality has been retired.

Since ZFS already bypasses the page cache for most I/O this is only
an issue for mmap(2) writes which must go through the page cache.
Even then adding this missing support for newer kernels was overlooked
because there are other mechanisms which can trigger writeback.

However, there is one critical case where not implementing the bdi
functionality can cause problems.  If an application handles a page
fault it can enter the balance_dirty_pages() callpath.  This will
result in the application hanging until the number of dirty pages in
the system drops below the dirty ratio.

Without a registered backing_device_info for the filesystem the
dirty pages will not get written out.  Thus the application will hang.
As mentioned above this was less of an issue with older kernels because
pdflush would eventually write out the dirty pages.

This change adds a backing_device_info structure to the zfs_sb_t
which is already allocated per-super block.  It is then registered
when the filesystem mounted and unregistered on unmount.  It will
not be registered for mounted snapshots which are read-only.  This
change will result in flush-<pool> thread being dynamically created
and destroyed per-mounted filesystem for writeback.

2cf7f52bc4 Linux compat 2.6.39: mount_nodev()
The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback
in the file_system_type structure.  When using the new
interface the caller must now use the mount_nodev() helper.

Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount
down to the zfs layers.  This poses a problem for the existing
implementation because we currently save this pointer in the
super block for latter use.  It provides our only entry point
in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options.

This needed to be done originally to allow commands like
'zfs set atime=off tank' to work properly.  It also allowed me
to keep more of the original Solaris code unmodified.  Under
Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a
file system so this is a fairly natural thing to do.  However,
under Linux they many be multiple entries in the namespace
which reference the same filesystem.  Thus keeping a back
reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated.

Rather than introduce some ugly hack to get the vfsmount and
continue as before.  I'm leveraging this API change to update
the ZFS code to do things in a more natural way for Linux.
This has the upside that is resolves the compatibility issue
for the long term and fixes several other minor bugs which
have been reported.

This commit updates the code to remove this vfsmount back
reference entirely.  All modifications to filesystem mount
options are now passed in to the kernel via a '-o remount'.
This is the expected Linux mechanism and allows the namespace
to properly handle any options which apply to it before passing
them on to the file system itself.

Aside from fixing the compatibility issue, removing the
vfsmount has had the benefit of simplifying the code.  This
change which fairly involved has turned out nicely.

86fd39f354 Linux 2.6.39 compat, mutex owner
Prior to Linux 2.6.39 when CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES was defined
the kernel stored a thread_info pointer as the mutex owner.
From this you could get the pointer of the current task_struct
to compare with get_current().

As of Linux 2.6.39 this behavior has changed and now the mutex
stores a pointer to the task_struct.  This commit detects the
type of pointer stored in the mutex and adjusts the mutex_owner()

The previous commit 8a7e1ceefa wasn't
quite right.  This check applies to both the user and kernel space
build and as such we must make sure it runs regardless of what
the --with-config option is set too.

not run and we generate build warnings when compiling the kernel

df554c148e Fix 'zfs set volsize=N pool/dataset'
This change fixes a kernel panic which would occur when resizing
a dataset which was not open.  The objset_t stored in the
zvol_state_t will be set to NULL when the block device is closed.
To avoid this issue we pass the correct objset_t as the third arg.

The code has also been updated to correctly notify the kernel
when the block device capacity changes.  For 2.6.28 and newer
kernels the capacity change will be immediately detected.  For
earlier kernels the capacity change will be detected when the
device is next opened.  This is a known limitation of older
kernels.

Online ext3 resize test case passes on 2.6.28+ kernels:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zvol bs=1M count=1 seek=1023
$ zpool create tank /tmp/zvol
$ zfs create -V 500M tank/zd0

in the ZFS code when a variable is set and then only checked in an

Additionally, when building with --enable-debug and -Werror set these
warning also become fatal.  We can reevaluate the suppression of these
error at a later time if it becomes an issue.  For now we are basically

01c0e61da0 Add init scripts
To support automatically mounting your zfs on filesystem on boot
a basic init script is needed.  Unfortunately, every distribution
has their own idea of the _right_ way to do things.  Rather than
write one very complicated portable init script, which would be
invariably replaced by the distributions own anyway.  I have
instead added support to provide multiple distribution specific
init scripts.

The correct init script for your distribution will be selected
by ZFS_AC_DEFAULT_PACKAGE which will set DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT.
During 'make install' the correct script for your system will
be installed from zfs/etc/init.d/zfs.DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT to the
usual /etc/init.d/zfs location.

Currently, there is zfs.fedora and a more generic zfs.lsb init
script.  Hopefully, the distribution maintainers who know best
how they want their init scripts to function will feedback their
approved versions to be included in the project.

This change does not consider upstart jobs but I'm not at all
opposed to add that sort of thing.

In the 2.6.37 kernel the function invalidate_inodes() is no longer
exported for use by modules.  This memory management functionality
is needed to invalidate the inodes attached to a super block without
unmounting the filesystem.

Because this function still exists in the kernel and the prototype
is available is a common header all we strictly need is the symbol
address.  The address is obtained using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
and assigned to the variable invalidate_inodes_fn.  Then a #define
is used to replace all instances of invalidate_inodes() with a
call to the acquired address.  All the complexity is hidden behind
HAVE_INVALIDATE_INODES and invalidate_inodes() can be used as usual.

ZFS even under Solaris does not strictly require libshare to be
available.  The current implementation attempts to dlopen() the
library to access the needed symbols.  If this fails libshare
support is simply disabled.

This means that on Linux we only need the most minimal libshare
implementation.  In fact just enough to prevent the build from
failing.  Longer term we can decide if we want to implement a
libshare library like Solaris.  At best this would be an abstraction
layer between ZFS and NFS/SMB.  Alternately, we can drop libshare
entirely and directly integrate ZFS with Linux's NFS/SMB.

Finally the bare bones user-libshare.m4 test was dropped.  If we
do decide to implement libshare at some point it will surely be
as part of this package so the check is not needed.

policies are aware of the zfs filesystem type.  Because of this
they do not properly enable xattr based labeling even though
zfs supports all of the required hooks.

Until distro's add zfs as a known xattr friendly fs type we
must use mntpoint labeling.  Alternately, end users could modify

The name of the flag used to mark a bio as synchronous has changed
again in the 2.6.36 kernel due to the unification of the BIO_RW_*

checking this flag I have introduced the vdev_disk_dio_is_sync()
helper function.  Based on the results of several new autoconf
tests it uses the correct mask to check for a synchronous bio.

  2.6.12-2.6.29: BIO_RW_SYNC
  2.6.30-2.6.35: BIO_RW_SYNCIO

checks were added for this and if it is ever unclear which method
to use no flags are set.  This is safe but may result in longer
delays before a disk is failed.

HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK define when a spinlock_t is used.  We can
then correctly use either spin_lock or write_lock in our custom
set_fs_pwd() implementation.

23aa63cbf5 Fix 2.6.35 shrinker callback API change
As of linux-2.6.35 the shrinker callback API now takes an additional
argument.  The shrinker struct is passed to the callback so that users
can embed the shrinker structure in private data and use container_of()
to access it.  This removes the need to always use global state for the
shrinker.

To handle this we add the SPL_AC_3ARGS_SHRINKER_CALLBACK autoconf
check to properly detect the API.  Then we simply setup a callback
function with the correct number of arguments.  For now we do not make
use of the new 3rd argument.

2959d94a0a Add FAILFAST support
ZFS works best when it is notified as soon as possible when a device
failure occurs.  This allows it to immediately start any recovery
actions which may be needed.  In theory Linux supports a flag which
can be set on bio's called FAILFAST which provides this quick
notification by disabling the retry logic in the lower scsi layers.

That's the theory at least.  In practice is turns out that while the
flag exists you oddly have to set it with the BIO_RW_AHEAD flag.
And even when it's set it you may get retries in the low level
drivers decides that's the right behavior, or if you don't get the
right error codes reported to the scsi midlayer.

Unfortunately, without additional kernels patchs there's not much
which can be done to improve this.  Basically, this just means that
it may take 2-3 minutes before a ZFS is notified properly that a
device has failed.  This can be improved and I suspect I'll be
submitting patches upstream to handle this.

6283f55ea1 Support custom build directories and move includes
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory.  The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.

For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently.  This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.

Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution.  When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.

This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory.  This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.

46aa7b3939 Correctly handle rwsem_is_locked() behavior
A race condition in rwsem_is_locked() was fixed in Linux 2.6.33 and the fix was
backported to RHEL5 as of kernel 2.6.18-190.el5.  Details can be found here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526092

The race condition was fixed in the kernel by acquiring the semaphore's
wait_lock inside rwsem_is_locked().  The SPL worked around the race condition
by acquiring the wait_lock before calling that function, but with the fix in
place it must not do that.

This commit implements an autoconf test to detect whether the fixed version of
rwsem_is_locked() is present.  The previous version of rwsem_is_locked() was an
inline static function while the new version is exported as a symbol which we
can check for in module.symvers.  Depending on the result we correctly
implement the needed compatibility macros for proper spinlock handling.

Finally, we do the right thing with spin locks in RW_*_HELD() by using the
new compatibility macros.  We only only acquire the semaphore's wait_lock if
it is calling a rwsem_is_locked() that does not itself try to acquire the lock.

Some new overhead and a small harmless race is introduced by this change.
This is because RW_READ_HELD() and RW_WRITE_HELD() now acquire and release
the wait_lock twice: once for the call to rwsem_is_locked() and once for
the call to rw_owner().  This can't be avoided if calling a rwsem_is_locked()
that takes the wait_lock, as it will in more recent kernels.

The other case which only occurs in legacy kernels could be optimized by
taking the lock only once, as was done prior to this commit.  However, I
decided that the performance gain probably wasn't significant enough to
justify the messy special cases required.

The function spl_rw_get_owner() was only used to enable the afore-mentioned
optimization.  Since it is no longer used, I removed it.

5ec44a37c3 Correctly detect atomic64_cmpxchg support
The RHEL5 2.6.18-194.7.1.el5 kernel added atomic64_cmpxchg to
asm-x86_64/atomic.h.  That macro is defined in terms of cmpxchg which
is provided by asm/system.h. However, asm/system.h is not #included by
atomic.h in this kernel nor by the autoconf test for atomic64_cmpxchg, so
the test failed with "implicit declaration of function 'cmpxchg'". This
leads the build system to erroneously conclude that the kernel does not
define atomic64_cmpxchg and enable the built-in definition.  This in
turn produces a '"atomic64_cmpxchg" redefined' build warning which is fatal
when building with --enable-debug.  This commit fixes this by including
asm/system.h in the autoconf test.

287b2fb117 Add Debian and Slackware style packaging via alien
The long term fix for Debian and Slackware style packaging is
to add native support for building these packages.  Unfortunately,
that is a large chunk of work I don't have time for right now.
That said it would be nice to have at least basic packages for
these distributions.

As a quick short/medium term solution I've settled on using alien
to convert the RPM packages to DEB or TGZ style packages.  The
build system has been updated with the following build targets
which will first build RPM packages and then convert them as
needed to the target package type:

  make rpm: Create .rpm packages
  make deb: Create .deb packages
  make tgz: Create .tgz packages
  make pkg: Create the right package type for your distribution

The solution comes with lot of caveats and your mileage may vary.
But basically the big limitations are that the resulting packages:

  1) Will not have the correct dependency information.
  2) Will not not include the kernel version in the release.
  3) Will not handle all differences between distributions.

But the resulting packages should be easy to install and remove
from your system and take care of running 'depmod -a' and such.
As I said at the top this is not the right long term solution.
If any of the upstream distribution maintainers want to jump in
and help do this right for their distribution I'd love the help.

a4bfd8ea1b Add __divdi3(), remove __udivdi3() kernel dependency
Up until now no SPL consumer attempted to perform signed 64-bit
division so there was no need to support this.  That has now
changed so I adding 64-bit division support for 32-bit platforms.
The signed implementation is based on the unsigned version.

Since the have been several bug reports in the past concerning
correct 64-bit division on 32-bit platforms I added some long
over due regression tests.  Much to my surprise the unsigned
64-bit division regression tests failed.

This was surprising because __udivdi3() was implemented by simply
calling div64_u64() which is provided by the kernel.  This meant
that the linux kernels 64-bit division algorithm on 32-bit platforms
was flawed.  After some investigation this turned out to be exactly
the case.

Because of this I was forced to abandon the kernel helper and
instead to fully implement 64-bit division in the spl.  There are
several published implementation out there on how to do this
properly and I settled on one proposed in the book Hacker's Delight.
Their proposed algoritm is freely available without restriction
and I have just modified it to be linux kernel friendly.

The update implementation now passed all the unsigned and signed
regression tests.  This should be functional, but not fast, which is
good enough for out purposes.  If you want fast too I'd strongly
suggest you upgrade to a 64-bit platform.  I have also reported the
kernel bug and we'll see if we can't get it fixed up stream.

16b719f006 Allow spl_config.h to be included by dependant packages (updated)
We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h to
build properly.  This was partially solved in commit 0cbaeb1 by using
AH_BOTTOM to #undef common #defines (PACKAGE, VERSION, etc) which
autoconf always adds and cannot be easily removed.  This solution
works as long as the spl_config.h is included before your projects
config.h.  That turns out to be easier said than done.  In particular,
this is a problem when your package includes its config.h using the
-include gcc option which ensures the first thing included is your
config.h.

To handle all cases cleanly I have removed the AH_BOTTOM hack and
replaced it with an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS command.  This command runs
immediately after spl_config.h is written and with a little awk-foo
it strips the offending #defines from the file.  This eliminates
the problem entirely and makes header safe for inclusion.

Also in this change I have removed the few places in the code where
spl_config.h is included.  It is now added to the gcc compile line
to ensure the config results are always available.

Finally, I have also disabled the verbose kernel builds.  If you
want them back you can always build with 'make V=1'.  Since things
are working now they don't need to be on by default.

d04c8a563c Atomic64 compatibility for 32-bit systems without kernel support.
This patch is another step towards updating the code to handle the
32-bit kernels which I have not been regularly testing.  This changes
do not really impact the common case I'm expected which is the latest
kernel running on an x86_64 arch.

Until the linux-2.6.31 kernel the x86 arch did not have support for
64-bit atomic operations.  Additionally, the new atomic_compat.h support
for this case was wrong because it embedded a spinlock in the atomic
variable which must always and only be 64-bits total.  To handle these
32-bit issues we now simply fall back to the --enable-atomic-spinlock
implementation if the kernel does not provide the 64-bit atomic funcs.

The second issue this patch addresses is the DEBUG_KMEM assumption that
there will always be atomic64 funcs available.  On 32-bit archs this may
not be true, and actually that's just fine.  In that case the kernel will
will never be able to allocate more the 32-bits worth anyway.  So just
check if atomic64 funcs are available, if they are not it means this
is a 32-bit machine and we can safely use atomic_t's instead.

055ffd98cf Autoconf --enable-debug-* cleanup
Cleanup the --enable-debug-* configure options, this has been pending
for quite some time and I am glad I finally got to it.  To summerize:

1) All SPL_AC_DEBUG_* macros were updated to be a more autoconf
friendly.  This mainly involved shift to the GNU approved usage of
AC_ARG_ENABLE and ensuring AS_IF is used rather than directly using
an if [ test ] construct.

2) --enable-debug-kmem=yes by default.  This simply enabled keeping
a running tally of total memory allocated and freed and reporting a
memory leak if there was one at module unload.  Additionally, it
ensure /proc/spl/kmem/slab will exist by default which is handy.
The overhead is low for this and it should not impact performance.

3) --enable-debug-kmem-tracking=no by default.  This option was added
to provide a configure option to enable to detailed memory allocation
tracking.  This support was always there but you had to know where to
turn it on.  By default this support is disabled because it is known
to badly hurt performence, however it is invaluable when chasing a
memory leak.

4) --enable-debug-kstat removed.  After further reflection I can't see
why you would ever really want to turn this support off.  It is now
always on which had the nice side effect of simplifying the proc handling
code in spl-proc.c.  We can now always assume the top level directory
will be there.

5) --enable-debug-callb removed.  This never really did anything, it was
put in provisionally because it might have been needed.  It turns out
it was not so I am just removing it to prevent confusion.

5e9b5d832b Use Linux atomic primitives by default.
Previously Solaris style atomic primitives were implemented simply by
wrapping the desired operation in a global spinlock.  This was easy to
implement at the time when I wasn't 100% sure I could safely layer the
Solaris atomic primatives on the Linux counterparts.  It however was
likely not good for performance.

After more investigation however it does appear the Solaris primitives
can be layered on Linux's fairly safely.  The Linux atomic_t type really
just wraps a long so we can simply cast the Solaris unsigned value to
either a atomic_t or atomic64_t.  The only lingering problem for both
implementations is that Solaris provides no atomic read function.  This
means reading a 64-bit value on a 32-bit arch can (and will) result in
word breaking.  I was very concerned about this initially, but upon
further reflection it is a limitation of the Solaris API.  So really
we are just being bug-for-bug compatible here.

With this change the default implementation is layered on top of Linux
atomic types.  However, because we're assuming a lot about the internal
implementation of those types I've made it easy to fall-back to the
generic approach.  Simply build with --enable-atomic_spinlocks if
issues are encountered with the new implementation.

51a727e90f Set cwd to '/' for the process executing insmod.
Ricardo has pointed out that under Solaris the cwd is set to '/'
during module load, while under Linux it is set to the callers cwd.
To handle this cleanly I've reworked the module *_init()/_exit()
macros so they call a *_setup()/_cleanup() function when any SPL
dependent module is loaded or unloaded.  This gives us a chance to
perform any needed modification of the process, in this case changing
the cwd.  It also handily provides a way to avoid creating wrapper
init()/exit() functions because the Solaris and Linux prototypes
differ slightly.  All dependent modules should now call the spl
helper macros spl_module_{init,exit}() instead of the native linux
versions.

Unfortunately, it appears that under Linux there has been no consistent
API in the kernel to set the cwd in a module.  Because of this I have
had to add more autoconf magic than I'd like.  However, what I have
done is correct and has been tested on RHEL5, SLES11, FC11, and CHAOS
kernels.

In addition, I have change the rootdir type from a 'void *' to the
correct 'vnode_t *' type.  And I've set rootdir to a non-NULL value.

4d54fdee1d Reimplement mutexs for Linux lock profiling/analysis
For a generic explanation of why mutexs needed to be reimplemented
to work with the kernel lock profiling see commits:
  e811949a57 and
  d28db80fd0

The specific changes made to the mutex implemetation are as follows.
The Linux mutex structure is now directly embedded in the kmutex_t.
This allows a kmutex_t to be directly case to a mutex struct and
passed directly to the Linux primative.

Just like with the rwlocks it is critical that these functions be
implemented as '#defines to ensure the location information is
preserved.  The preprocessor can then do a direct replacement of
the Solaris primative with the linux primative.

Just as with the rwlocks we need to track the lock owner.  Here
things get a little more interesting because depending on your
kernel version, and how you've built your kernel Linux may already
do this for you.  If your running a 2.6.29 or newer kernel on a
SMP system the lock owner will be tracked.  This was added to Linux
to support adaptive mutexs, more on that shortly.  Alternately, your
kernel might track the lock owner if you've set CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES
in the kernel build.  If neither of the above things is true for
your kernel the kmutex_t type will include and track the lock owner
to ensure correct behavior.  This is all handled by a new autoconf
check called SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER.

Concerning adaptive mutexs these are a very recent development and
they did not make it in to either the latest FC11 of SLES11 kernels.
Ideally, I'd love to see this kernel change appear in one of these
distros because it does help performance.  From Linux kernel commit:
  0d66bf6d3514b35eb6897629059443132992dbd7
  "Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application...
  gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox"
However, if you don't want to backport this change yourself you
can still simply export the task_curr() symbol.  The kmutex_t
implementation will use this symbol when it's available to
provide it's own adaptive mutexs.

Finally, DEBUG_MUTEX support was removed including the proc handlers.
This was done because now that we are cleanly integrated with the
kernel profiling all this information and much much more is available
in debug kernel builds.  This code was now redundant.

Update mutexs validated on:
    - SLES10   (ppc64)
    - SLES11   (x86_64)
    - CHAOS4.2 (x86_64)
    - RHEL5.3  (x86_64)
    - RHEL6    (x86_64)
    - FC11     (x86_64)

e811949a57 Reimplement rwlocks for Linux lock profiling/analysis.
It turns out that the previous rwlock implementation worked well but
did not integrate properly with the upstream kernel lock profiling/
analysis tools.  This is a major problem since it would be awfully
nice to be able to use the automatic lock checker and profiler.

The problem is that the upstream lock tools use the pre-processor
to create a lock class for each uniquely named locked.  Since the
rwsem was embedded in a wrapper structure the name was always the
same.  The effect was that we only ended up with one lock class for
the entire SPL which caused the lock dependency checker to flag
nearly everything as a possible deadlock.

The solution was to directly map a krwlock to a Linux rwsem using
a typedef there by eliminating the wrapper structure.  This was not
done initially because the rwsem implementation is specific to the arch.
To fully implement the Solaris krwlock API using only the provided rwsem
API is not possible.  It can only be done by directly accessing some of
the internal data member of the rwsem structure.

For example, the Linux API provides a different function for dropping
a reader vs writer lock.  Whereas the Solaris API uses the same function
and the caller does not pass in what type of lock it is.  This means to
properly drop the lock we need to determine if the lock is currently a
reader or writer lock.  Then we need to call the proper Linux API function.
Unfortunately, there is no provided API for this so we must extracted this
information directly from arch specific lock implementation.  This is
all do able, and what I did, but it does complicate things considerably.

The good news is that in addition to the profiling benefits of this
change.  We may see performance improvements due to slightly reduced
overhead when creating rwlocks and manipulating them.

The only function I was forced to sacrafice was rw_owner() because this
information is simply not stored anywhere in the rwsem.  Luckily this
appears not to be a commonly used function on Solaris, and it is my
understanding it is mainly used for debugging anyway.

In addition to the core rwlock changes, extensive updates were made to
the rwlock regression tests.  Each class of test was extended to provide
more API coverage and to be more rigerous in checking for misbehavior.

This is a pretty significant change and with that in mind I have been
careful to validate it on several platforms before committing.  The full
SPLAT regression test suite was run numberous times on all of the following
platforms.  This includes various kernels ranging from 2.6.16 to 2.6.29.

- SLES10   (ppc64)
- SLES11   (x86_64)
- CHAOS4.2 (x86_64)
- RHEL5.3  (x86_64)
- RHEL6    (x86_64)
- FC11     (x86_64)

6ae7fef5b9 Update global_page_state() support for 2.6.29 kernels.
Basically everything we need to monitor the global memory state of
the system is now cleanly available via global_page_state().  The
problem is that this interface is still fairly recent, and there
has been one change in the page state enum which we need to handle.
These changes basically boil down to the following:
- If global_page_state() is available we should use it.  Several
  autoconf checks have been added to detect the correct enum names.
- If global_page_state() is not available check to see if
  get_zone_counts() symbol is available and use that.
- If the get_zone_counts() symbol is not exported we have no choice
  be to dynamically aquire it at load time.  This is an absolute
  last resort for old kernel which we don't want to patch to
  cleanly export the symbol.

ec7d53e99a Add basic credential support and splat tests.
The previous credential implementation simply provided the needed types and
a couple of dummy functions needed.  This update correctly ties the basic
Solaris credential API in to one of two Linux kernel APIs.

Prior to 2.6.29 the linux kernel embeded all credentials in the task
structure.  For these kernels, we pass around the entire task struct as if
it were the credential, then we use the helper functions to extract the
credential related bits.

As of 2.6.29 a new credential type was added which we can and do fairly
cleanly layer on top of.  Once again the helper functions nicely hide
the implementation details from all callers.

Three tests were added to the splat test framework to verify basic
correctness.  They should be extended as needed when need credential
functions are added.

3d0cb2d31d Remove LINUXINCLUDE from autoconf wrapper, breaks 2.6.28+ kernels.
Modern kernel build systems at least post 2.6.16 will set this properly
so we should not.  In fact post 2.6.28 the include headers have moved
under arch so the guess we make here is completely wrong.  Letting
the kernel build system set this ensure it will be correct.

- Properly honor --prefix in build system and rpm spec file.
- Add '--define require_kdir' to spec file to support building

- Add '--define require_kobj' to spec file to support building
  rpms against kernel object installed in non-default locations.
- Stop suppressing errors in autogen.sh script.
- Improved logic to detect missing kernel objects when they are
  not located with the source.  This is the common case for SLES
  as well as in-tree chaos kernel builds and is done to simply
  support for multiple arches.
- Moved spl-devel build products to /usr/src/spl-<version>, a
  spl symlink is created to reference the last installed version.

5232d256b4 SLES10 Fixes (part 6)
- Prior to 2.6.17 there were no *_pgdat helper functions in mm/mmzone.c.
  Instead for_each_zone() operated directly on pgdat_list which may or
  may not have been exported depending on how your kernel was compiled.
  Now new configure checks determine if you have the helpers or not, and
  if the needed symbols are exported.  If they are not exported then they
  are dynamically aquired at runtime by kallsyms_lookup_name().

96dded3844 SLES10 Fixes (part 2):

  div64_u64() as of 2.6.26.
- Configure check, the global_page_state() fuction was introduced
  in 2.6.18 kernels.  The earlier 2.6.16 based SLES10 must not try
  and use it, thankfully get_zone_counts() is still available.
- To simplify debugging poison all symbols aquired dynamically
  using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name() with SYMBOL_POISON.
- Add console messages when the user mode helpers fail.
- spl_kmem_init_globals() use bit shifts instead of division.
- When the monotonic clock is unavailable __gethrtime() must perform
  the HZ division as an 'unsigned long long' because the SPL only
  implements __udivdi3(), and not __divdi3() for 'long long' division
  on 32-bit arches.

0cbaeb117a Allow spl_config.h to be included by dependant packages
We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h so they
can leverage the configure checks the SPL has done.  This is important
because several of the spl headers need the results of these checks to
work properly.  Unfortunately, the autoheader build product is always
private to a particular build and defined certain common things.
(PACKAGE, VERSION, etc).  This prevents other packages which also use
autoheader from being include because the definitions conflict.  To
avoid this problem the SPL build system leverage AH_BOTTOM to include
a spl_unconfig.h at the botton of the autoheader build product.  This
custom include undefs all known shared symbols to prevent the confict.
This does however mean that those definition are also not availble
to the SPL package either.  The SPL package therefore uses the
equivilant SPL_META_* definitions.

e11d6c5f50 FC10/i686 Compatibility Update (2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686)
In the interests of portability I have added a FC10/i686 box to
my list of development platforms.  The hope is this will allow me
to keep current with upstream kernel API changes, and at the same
time ensure I don't accidentally break x86 support.  This patch
resolves all remaining issues observed under that environment.

1) SPL_AC_ZONE_STAT_ITEM_FIA autoconf check added.  As of 2.6.21
the kernel added a clean API for modules to get the global count
for free, inactive, and active pages.  The SPL attempts to detect
if this API is available and directly map spl_global_page_state()
to global_page_state().  If the full API is not available then
spl_global_page_state() is implemented as a thin layer to get
these values via get_zone_counts() if that symbol is available.

2) New kmem:vmem_size regression test added to validate correct
vmem_size() functionality.  The test case acquires the current
global vmem state, allocates from the vmem region, then verifies
the allocation is correctly reflected in the vmem_size() stats.

3) Change splat_kmem_cache_thread_test() to always use KMC_KMEM
based memory.  On x86 systems with limited virtual address space
failures resulted due to exhaustig the address space.  The tests
really need to problem exhausting all memory on the system thus
we need to use the physical address space.

4) Change kmem:slab_lock to cap it's memory usage at availrmem
instead of using the native linux nr_free_pages().  This provides
additional test coverage of the SPL Linux VM integration.

5) Change kmem:slab_overcommit to perform allocation of 256K
instead of 1M.  On x86 based systems it is not possible to create
a kmem backed slab with entires of that size.  To compensate for
this the number of allocations performed in increased by 4x.

6) Additional autoconf documentation for proposed upstream API
changes to make additional symbols available to modules.

7) Console error messages added when spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
fails to locate an expected symbol.  This causes the module to fail
to load and we need to know exactly which symbol was not available.

d4326403de Build System Default Kernel
Update the method used for determining which kernel to build against
when not specified.  Previous 'uname -r' was used but this makes the

often not the case.  It is better to examine the usual kernel-devel
install locations and select one of the installed kernels.

c5f704607b Build system and packaging (RPM support)
An update to the build system to properly support all commonly
used Makefile targets these include:

  make all        # Build everything
  make install    # Install everything
  make clean	  # Clean up build products
  make distclean  # Clean up everything
  make dist       # Create package tarball
  make srpm       # Create package source RPM
  make rpm        # Create package binary RPMs
  make tags       # Create ctags and etags for everything

Extra care was taken to ensure that the source RPMs are fully
rebuildable against Fedora/RHEL/Chaos kernels.  To build binary
RPMs from the source RPM for your system simply run:

  rpmbuild --rebuild spl-x.y.z-1.src.rpm

This will produce two binary RPMs with correct 'requires'
dependencies for your kernel.  One will contain all spl modules
and support utilities, the other is a devel package for compiling
additional kernel modules which are dependant on the spl.

  spl-x.y.z-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm
  spl-devel-x.y.2-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm

d1ff2312b0 Linux VM Integration Cleanup
Remove all instances of functions being reimplemented in the SPL.
When the prototypes are available in the linux headers but the
function address itself is not exported use kallsyms_lookup_name()
to find the address.  The function name itself can them become a
define which calls a function pointer.  This is preferable to
reimplementing the function in the SPL because it ensures we get
the correct version of the function for the running kernel.  This
is actually pretty safe because the prototype is defined in the
headers so we know we are calling the function properly.

This patch also includes a rhel5 kernel patch we exports the needed
symbols so we don't need to use kallsyms_lookup_name().  There are
autoconf checks to detect if the symbol is exported and if so to
use it directly.  We should add patches for stock upstream kernels
as needed if for no other reason than so we can easily track which
additional symbols we needed exported.  Those patches can also be
used by anyone willing to rebuild their kernel, but this should
not be a requirement.  The rhel5 version of the export-symbols
patch has been applied to the chaos kernel.

Additional fixes:
1) Implement vmem_size() function using get_vmalloc_info()
2) SPL_CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT macro updated to use $LINUX_OBJ instead
   of $LINUX because Module.symvers is a build product.  When
   $LINUX_OBJ != $LINUX we will not properly detect exported symbols.
3) SPL_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE macro updated to add include2 and
   $LINUX/include search paths to allow proper compilation when
   the kernel target build directory is not the source directory.

4ab13d3b5c Additional Linux VM integration
Added support for Solaris swapfs_minfree, and swapfs_reserve tunables.
In additional availrmem is now available and return a reasonable value
which is reasonably analogous to the Solaris meaning.  On linux we
return the sun of free and inactive pages since these are all easily
reclaimable.

All tunables are available in /proc/sys/kernel/spl/vm/* and they may
need a little adjusting once we observe the real behavior.  Some of
the defaults are mapped to similar linux counterparts, others are
straight from the OpenSolaris defaults.

36b313dacf Linux VM integration / device special files
Support added to provide reasonable values for the global Solaris
VM variables: minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree.  These values
are set to the sum of their per-zone linux counterparts which
should be close enough for Solaris consumers.

When a non-GPL app links against the SPL we cannot use the udev
interfaces, which means non of the device special files are created.
Because of this I had added a poor mans udev which cause the SPL
to invoke an upcall and create the basic devices when a minor
is registered.  When a minor is unregistered we use the vnode
interface to unlink the special file.

- Added SPL_AC_3ARGS_ON_EACH_CPU configure check to determine
  if the older 4 argument version of on_each_cpu() should be
  used or the new 3 argument version.  The retry argument was
  dropped in the new API which was never used anyway.
- Updated work queue compatibility wrappers.  The old way this
  worked was to pass a data point when initialized the workqueue.
  The new API assumed the work item is embedding in a structure
  and we us container_of() to find that data pointer.
- Updated skc->skc_flags to be an unsigned long which is now
  type checked in the bit operations.  This silences the warnings.
- Updated autogen products and splat tests accordingly
