The Linux kernel's rwsem's have never provided an interface to
allow a reader to be upgraded to a writer. Historically, this
functionality has been implemented by a SPL wrapper function.
However, this approach depends on internal knowledge of the
rw_semaphore and is therefore rather brittle.
Since the ZFS code must always be able to fallback to rw_exit()
and rw_enter() when an rw_tryupgrade() fails; this functionality
isn't critical. Furthermore, the only potentially performance
sensitive consumer is dmu_zfetch() and no decrease in performance
was observed with this change applied. See the PR comments for
additional testing details.
Therefore, it is being retired to make the build more robust and
to simplify the rwlock implementation.

Closes#9029
Commit https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/94a9717b updated the
rwsem's owner field to contain additional flags describing the rwsem's
state. Rather then update the wrappers to mask out these bits, the
code no longer relies on the owner stored by the kernel. This does
increase the size of a krwlock_t but it makes the implementation
less sensitive to future kernel changes.

Closes#9029
Commit torvalds/linux@46ad0840b has removed the architecture specific
rwsem source and headers leaving only the generic version. As part
of this change the RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS and RWSEM_ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS
macros were moved to the private kernel/locking/rwsem.h header.
This results in a build failure because these macros were required
to implement the rw_tryupgrade() compatibility function.
In practice, this isn't a major problem because there are only a
few consumers of rw_tryupgrade() and because consumers of rw_tryupgrade
should be written to retry using rw_enter(RW_WRITER).
After auditing all of the callers only dmu_zfetch() was determined
not to perform a retry. It has been updated in this commit to
resolve this issue.
That said, the rw_tryupgrade() functionality should be considered
for possible removal in a future release due to the difficultly
in supporting the interface.

The 4.20 kernel changed the meaning of the rw_semaphore.owner bits,
causing an assertion when loading the module under the 4.20 kernel.
This patch fixes the issue.

Closes#8360Closes#8389
The RT rwsem implementation was changed to allow multiple readers
as of the 4.9.20-rt16 patch set. This results in a build failure
because the existing implementation was forced to directly access
the rwsem structure which has changed.
While this could be accommodated by adding additional compatibility
code. This patch resolves the build issue by simply assuming the
rwsem can never be upgraded. This functionality is a performance
optimization and all callers must already handle this case.
Converting the last remaining use of __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED to
spin_lock_init() was additionally required to get a clean build.

Closes#7589
Minimal changes required to integrate the SPL sources in to the
ZFS repository build infrastructure and packaging.
Build system and packaging:
* Renamed SPL_* autoconf m4 macros to ZFS_*.
* Removed redundant SPL_* autoconf m4 macros.
* Updated the RPM spec files to remove SPL package dependency.
* The zfs package obsoletes the spl package, and the zfs-kmod
package obsoletes the spl-kmod package.
* The zfs-kmod-devel* packages were updated to add compatibility
symlinks under /usr/src/spl-x.y.z until all dependent packages
can be updated. They will be removed in a future release.
* Updated copy-builtin script for in-kernel builds.
* Updated DKMS package to include the spl.ko.
* Updated stale AUTHORS file to include all contributors.
* Updated stale COPYRIGHT and included the SPL as an exception.
* Renamed README.markdown to README.md
* Renamed OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE to LICENSE.
* Renamed DISCLAIMER to NOTICE.
Required code changes:
* Removed redundant HAVE_SPL macro.
* Removed _BOOT from nvpairs since it doesn't apply for Linux.
* Initial header cleanup (removal of empty headers, refactoring).
* Remove SPL repository clone/build from zimport.sh.
* Use of DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE and DEFINE_SPINLOCK removed due
to build issues when forcing C99 compilation.
* Replaced legacy ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE.
* Include needed headers for `current` and `EXPORT_SYMBOL`.
