This implements a binary search algorithm for B-Trees that reduces
branching to the absolute minimum necessary for a binary search
algorithm. It also enables the compiler to inline the comparator to
ensure that the only slowdown when doing binary search is from waiting
for memory accesses. Additionally, it instructs the compiler to unroll
the loop, which gives an additional 40% improve with Clang and 8%
improvement with GCC.
Consumers must opt into using the faster algorithm. At present, only
B-Trees used inside kernel code have been modified to use the faster
algorithm.
Micro-benchmarks suggest that this can improve binary search performance
by up to 3.5 times when compiling with Clang 16 and up to 1.9 times when
compiling with GCC 12.2.

Microzap on-disk format does not include a hash tree, expecting one to
be built in RAM during mzap_open(). The built tree is linked to DMU
user buffer, freed when original DMU buffer is dropped from cache. I've
found that workloads accessing many large directories and having active
eviction from DMU cache spend significant amount of time building and
then destroying the trees. I've also found that for each 64 byte mzap
element additional 64 byte tree element is allocated, that is a waste
of memory and CPU caches.
Improve memory efficiency of the hash tree by switching from AVL-tree
to B-tree. It allows to save 24 bytes per element just on pointers.
Save 32 bits on mze_hash by storing only upper 32 bits since lower 32
bits are always zero for microzaps. Save 16 bits on mze_chunkid, since
microzap can never have so many elements. Respectively with the 16 bits
there can be no more than 16 bits of collision differentiators. As
result, struct mzap_ent now drops from 48 (rounded to 64) to 8 bytes.
Tune B-trees for small data. Reduce BTREE_CORE_ELEMS from 128 to 126
to allow struct zfs_btree_core in case of 8 byte elements to pack into
2KB instead of 4KB. Aside of the microzaps it should also help 32bit
range trees. Allow custom B-tree leaf size to reduce memmove() time.
Split zap_name_alloc() into zap_name_alloc() and zap_name_init_str().
It allows to not waste time allocating/freeing memory when processing
multiple names in a loop during mzap_open().
Together on a pool with 10K directories of 1800 files each and DMU
cache limited to 128MB this reduces time of `find . -name zzz` by 41%
from 7.63s to 4.47s, and saves additional ~30% of CPU time on the DMU
cache reclamation.

- Introduce first element offset within a leaf. It allows to reduce
by ~50% average memmove() size when adding/removing elements. If the
added/removed element is in the first half of the leaf, we may shift
elements before it and adjust the bth_first instead of moving more
elements after it.
- Use memcpy() instead of memmove() when we know there is no overlap.
- Switch from uint64_t to uint32_t. It does not limit anything,
but 32-bit arches should appreciate it greatly in hot paths.
- Store leaf capacity in struct btree to avoid 64-bit divisions.
- Adjust zfs_btree_insert_into_leaf() to always result in balanced
leaves after splitting, no matter where the new element was inserted.
Not that we care about it much, but it should also allow B-trees with
as little as two elements per leaf instead of 4 previously.
When scrubbing pool of 12 SSDs, storing 1.5TB of 4KB zvol blocks this
reduces amount of time spent in memmove() inside the scan thread from
13.7% to 5.7% and total scrub time by ~15 seconds out of 9 minutes.
It should also reduce spacemaps load time, but I haven't measured it.

`configure` now accepts `--enable-asan` and `--enable-ubsan` switches
which results in passing `-fsanitize=address`
and `-fsanitize=undefined`, respectively, to the compiler. Those
flags are enabled in GitHub workflows for ZTS and zloop. Errors
reported by both instrumentations are corrected, except for:
- Memory leak reporting is (temporarily) suppressed. The cost of
fixing them is relatively high compared to the gains.
- Checksum computing functions in `module/zcommon/zfs_fletcher*`
have UBSan errors suppressed. It is completely impractical
to enforce 64-byte payload alignment there due to performance
impact.
- There's no ASan heap poisoning in `module/zstd/lib/zstd.c`. A custom
memory allocator is used there rendering that measure
unfeasible.
- Memory leaks detection has to be suppressed for `cmd/zvol_id`.
`zvol_id` is run by udev with the help of `ptrace(2)`. Tracing is
incompatible with memory leaks detection.

This patch implements a new tree structure for ZFS, and uses it to
store range trees more efficiently.
The new structure is approximately a B-tree, though there are some
small differences from the usual characterizations. The tree has core
nodes and leaf nodes; each contain data elements, which the elements
in the core nodes acting as separators between its children. The
difference between core and leaf nodes is that the core nodes have an
array of children, while leaf nodes don't. Every node in the tree may
be only partially full; in most cases, they are all at least 50% full
(in terms of element count) except for the root node, which can be
less full. Underfull nodes will steal from their neighbors or merge to
remain full enough, while overfull nodes will split in two. The data
elements are contained in tree-controlled buffers; they are copied
into these on insertion, and overwritten on deletion. This means that
the elements are not independently allocated, which reduces overhead,
but also means they can't be shared between trees (and also that
pointers to them are only valid until a side-effectful tree operation
occurs). The overhead varies based on how dense the tree is, but is
usually on the order of about 50% of the element size; the per-node
overheads are very small, and so don't make a significant difference.
The trees can accept arbitrary records; they accept a size and a
comparator to allow them to be used for a variety of purposes.
The new trees replace the AVL trees used in the range trees today.
Currently, the range_seg_t structure contains three 8 byte integers
of payload and two 24 byte avl_tree_node_ts to handle its storage in
both an offset-sorted tree and a size-sorted tree (total size: 64
bytes). In the new model, the range seg structures are usually two 4
byte integers, but a separate one needs to exist for the size-sorted
and offset-sorted tree. Between the raw size, the 50% overhead, and
the double storage, the new btrees are expected to use 8*1.5*2 = 24
bytes per record, or 33.3% as much memory as the AVL trees (this is
for the purposes of storing metaslab range trees; for other purposes,
like scrubs, they use ~50% as much memory).
We reduced the size of the payload in the range segments by teaching
range trees about starting offsets and shifts; since metaslabs have a
fixed starting offset, and they all operate in terms of disk sectors,
we can store the ranges using 4-byte integers as long as the size of
the metaslab divided by the sector size is less than 2^32. For 512-byte
sectors, this is a 2^41 (or 2TB) metaslab, which with the default
settings corresponds to a 256PB disk. 4k sector disks can handle
metaslabs up to 2^46 bytes, or 2^63 byte disks. Since we do not
anticipate disks of this size in the near future, there should be
almost no cases where metaslabs need 64-byte integers to store their
ranges. We do still have the capability to store 64-byte integer ranges
to account for cases where we are storing per-vdev (or per-dnode) trees,
which could reasonably go above the limits discussed. We also do not
store fill information in the compact version of the node, since it
is only used for sorted scrub.
We also optimized the metaslab loading process in various other ways
to offset some inefficiencies in the btree model. While individual
operations (find, insert, remove_from) are faster for the btree than
they are for the avl tree, remove usually requires a find operation,
while in the AVL tree model the element itself suffices. Some clever
changes actually caused an overall speedup in metaslab loading; we use
approximately 40% less cpu to load metaslabs in our tests on Illumos.
Another memory and performance optimization was achieved by changing
what is stored in the size-sorted trees. When a disk is heavily
fragmented, the df algorithm used by default in ZFS will almost always
find a number of small regions in its initial cursor-based search; it
will usually only fall back to the size-sorted tree to find larger
regions. If we increase the size of the cursor-based search slightly,
and don't store segments that are smaller than a tunable size floor
in the size-sorted tree, we can further cut memory usage down to
below 20% of what the AVL trees store. This also results in further
reductions in CPU time spent loading metaslabs.
The 16KiB size floor was chosen because it results in substantial memory
usage reduction while not usually resulting in situations where we can't
find an appropriate chunk with the cursor and are forced to use an
oversized chunk from the size-sorted tree. In addition, even if we do
have to use an oversized chunk from the size-sorted tree, the chunk
would be too small to use for ZIL allocations, so it isn't as big of a
loss as it might otherwise be. And often, more small allocations will
follow the initial one, and the cursor search will now find the
remainder of the chunk we didn't use all of and use it for subsequent
allocations. Practical testing has shown little or no change in
fragmentation as a result of this change.
If the size-sorted tree becomes empty while the offset sorted one still
has entries, it will load all the entries from the offset sorted tree
and disregard the size floor until it is unloaded again. This operation
occurs rarely with the default setting, only on incredibly thoroughly
fragmented pools.
There are some other small changes to zdb to teach it to handle btrees,
but nothing major.
