Provide macros for setting and getting blkptr birth times
There exist a couple of macros that are used to update the blkptr birth
times but they can often be confusing. For example, the
BP_PHYSICAL_BIRTH() macro will provide either the physical birth time
if it is set or else return back the logical birth time. The
complement to this macro is BP_SET_BIRTH() which will set the logical
birth time and set the physical birth time if they are not the same.
Consumers may get confused when they are trying to get the physical
birth time and use the BP_PHYSICAL_BIRTH() macro only to find out that
the logical birth time is what is actually returned.

This change cleans up these macros and makes them symmetrical. The same
functionally is preserved but the name is changed. Instead of calling
BP_PHYSICAL_BIRTH(), consumer can now call BP_GET_BIRTH(). In
additional to cleaning up this naming conventions, two new sets of
macros are introduced -- BP_[SET|GET]_LOGICAL_BIRTH() and
BP_[SET|GET]_PHYSICAL_BIRTH.  These new macros allow the consumer to
get and set the specific birth time.

As part of the cleanup, the unused GRID macros have been removed and
that portion of the blkptr are currently unused.

Refactor dmu_prefetch().
- Split dmu_prefetch_dnode() from dmu_prefetch() into a separate
function.  It is quite inconvenient to read the code where len = 0
means dnode prefetch instead indirect/data prefetch.  One function
doing both has no benefits, since the code paths are independent.
 - Improve dmu_prefetch() handling of long block ranges.  Instead
of limiting L0 data length to prefetch for to dmu_prefetch_max,
make dmu_prefetch_max limit the actual amount of prefetch at the
specified level, and, if there is more, prefetch all the rest at
higher indirection level.  It should improve random access times
within the prefetched range of any length, reducing importance of
specific dmu_prefetch_max value.

Address warnings about possible division by zero from clangsa
* The complaint in ztest_replay_write() is only possible if something
   went horribly wrong. An assertion will silence this and if it goes
   off, we will know that something is wrong.
 * The complaint in spa_estimate_metaslabs_to_flush() is not impossible,
   but seems very unlikely. We resolve this by passing the value from
   the `MIN()` that does not go to infinity when the variable is zero.

There was a third report from Clang's scan-build, but that was a
definite false positive and disappeared when checked again through
Clang's static analyzer with Z3 refution via CodeChecker.

ab8d9c1783 Cleanup: 64-bit kernel module parameters should use fixed width types
Various module parameters such as `zfs_arc_max` were originally
`uint64_t` on OpenSolaris/Illumos, but were changed to `unsigned long`
for Linux compatibility because Linux's kernel default module parameter
implementation did not support 64-bit types on 32-bit platforms. This
caused problems when porting OpenZFS to Windows because its LLP64 memory
model made `unsigned long` a 32-bit type on 64-bit, which created the
undesireable situation that parameters that should accept 64-bit values
could not on 64-bit Windows.

Upon inspection, it turns out that the Linux kernel module parameter
interface is extensible, such that we are allowed to define our own
types. Rather than maintaining the original type change via hacks to to
continue shrinking module parameters on 32-bit Linux, we implement
support for 64-bit module parameters on Linux.

After doing a review of all 64-bit kernel parameters (found via the man
page and also proposed changes by Andrew Innes), the kernel module
parameters fell into a few groups:

Parameters that were originally 64-bit on Illumos:

 * dbuf_cache_max_bytes
 * dbuf_metadata_cache_max_bytes
 * l2arc_feed_min_ms
 * l2arc_feed_secs
 * l2arc_headroom
 * l2arc_headroom_boost
 * l2arc_write_boost
 * l2arc_write_max
 * metaslab_aliquot
 * metaslab_force_ganging
 * zfetch_array_rd_sz
 * zfs_arc_max
 * zfs_arc_meta_limit
 * zfs_arc_meta_min
 * zfs_arc_min
 * zfs_async_block_max_blocks
 * zfs_condense_max_obsolete_bytes
 * zfs_condense_min_mapping_bytes
 * zfs_deadman_checktime_ms
 * zfs_deadman_synctime_ms
 * zfs_initialize_chunk_size
 * zfs_initialize_value
 * zfs_lua_max_instrlimit
 * zfs_lua_max_memlimit
 * zil_slog_bulk

Parameters that were originally 32-bit on Illumos:

 * zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent

Parameters that were originally `ssize_t` on Illumos:

 * zfs_immediate_write_sz

Note that `ssize_t` is `int32_t` on 32-bit and `int64_t` on 64-bit. It
has been upgraded to 64-bit.

Parameters that were `long`/`unsigned long` because of Linux/FreeBSD
influence:

 * l2arc_rebuild_blocks_min_l2size
 * zfs_key_max_salt_uses
 * zfs_max_log_walking
 * zfs_max_logsm_summary_length
 * zfs_metaslab_max_size_cache_sec
 * zfs_min_metaslabs_to_flush
 * zfs_multihost_interval
 * zfs_unflushed_log_block_max
 * zfs_unflushed_log_block_min
 * zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
 * zfs_unflushed_max_mem_amt
 * zfs_unflushed_max_mem_ppm

New parameters that do not exist in Illumos:

 * l2arc_trim_ahead
 * vdev_file_logical_ashift
 * vdev_file_physical_ashift
 * zfs_arc_dnode_limit
 * zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
 * zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
 * zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
 * zfs_arc_sys_free
 * zfs_deadman_ziotime_ms
 * zfs_delete_blocks
 * zfs_history_output_max
 * zfs_livelist_max_entries
 * zfs_max_async_dedup_frees
 * zfs_max_nvlist_src_size
 * zfs_rebuild_max_segment
 * zfs_rebuild_vdev_limit
 * zfs_unflushed_log_txg_max
 * zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
 * zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
 * zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size
 * zvol_max_discard_blocks

Rather than clutter the lists with commentary, the module parameters
that need comments are repeated below.

A few parameters were defined in Linux/FreeBSD specific code, where the
use of ulong/long is not an issue for portability, so we leave them
alone:

 * zfs_delete_blocks
 * zfs_key_max_salt_uses
 * zvol_max_discard_blocks

The documentation for a few parameters was found to be incorrect:

 * zfs_deadman_checktime_ms - incorrectly documented as int
 * zfs_delete_blocks - not documented as Linux only
 * zfs_history_output_max - incorrectly documented as int
 * zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size - incorrectly documented as long
 * zvol_max_discard_blocks - incorrectly documented as ulong

The documentation for these has been fixed, alongside the changes to
document the switch to fixed width types.

In addition, several kernel module parameters were percentages or held
ashift values, so being 64-bit never made sense for them. They have been
downgraded to 32-bit:

 * vdev_file_logical_ashift
 * vdev_file_physical_ashift
 * zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
 * zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
 * zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
 * zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
 * zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
 * zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
 * zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift

Of special note are `zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift` and
`zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift`, which were already defined as `uint64_t`,
and passed to the kernel as `ulong`. This is inherently buggy on big
endian 32-bit Linux, since the values would not be written to the
correct locations. 32-bit FreeBSD was unaffected because its sysctl code
correctly treated this as a `uint64_t`.

Lastly, a code comment suggests that `zfs_arc_sys_free` is
Linux-specific, but there is nothing to indicate to me that it is
Linux-specific. Nothing was done about that.

Add defensive assertions
Coverity complains about possible bugs involving referencing NULL return
values and division by zero. The division by zero bugs require that a
block pointer be corrupt, either from in-memory corruption, or on-disk
corruption. The NULL return value complaints are only bugs if
assumptions that we make about the state of data structures are wrong.
Some seem impossible to be wrong and thus are false positives, while
others are hard to analyze.

Rather than dismiss these as false positives by assuming we know better,
we add defensive assertions to let us know when our assumptions are
wrong.

Cleanup: Use OpenSolaris functions to call scheduler
In our codebase, `cond_resched() and `schedule()` are Linux kernel
functions that have replaced the OpenSolaris `kpreempt()` functions in
the codebase to such an extent that `kpreempt()` in zfs_context.h was
broken. Nobody noticed because we did not actually use it. The header
had defined `kpreempt()` as `yield()`, which works on OpenSolaris and
Illumos where `sched_yield()` is a wrapper for `yield()`, but that does
not work on any other platform.

The FreeBSD platform specific code implemented shims for these, but the
shim for `schedule()` forced us to wait, which is different than merely
rescheduling to another thread as the original Linux code does, while
the shim for `cond_resched()` had the same definition as its kernel
kpreempt() shim.

After studying this, I have concluded that we should reintroduce the
kpreempt() function in platform independent code with the following
definitions:

	- In the Linux kernel:
		kpreempt(unused)	-> cond_resched()

	- In the FreeBSD kernel:
		kpreempt(unused)	-> kern_yield(PRI_USER)

	- In userspace:
		kpreempt(unused)	-> sched_yield()

In userspace, nothing changes from this cleanup. In the kernels, the
function `fm_fini()` will now call `kern_yield(PRI_USER)` on FreeBSD and
`cond_resched()` on Linux.  This is instead of `pause("schedule", 1)` on
FreeBSD and `schedule()` on Linux. This makes our behavior consistent
across platforms.

Note that Linux's SPL continues to use `cond_resched()` and
`schedule()`.  However, those functions have been removed from both the
FreeBSD code and userspace code.

This should have the benefit of making it slightly easier to port the
code to new platforms by making how things should be mapped less
confusing.

Remove wrong assertion in log spacemap
It is typical, but not generally true that if log summary has more
blocks it must also have unflushed metaslabs.  Normally with metaslabs
flushed in order it works, but there are known exceptions, such as
device removal or metaslab being loaded during its flush attempt.

Before 600a02b884 if spa_flush_metaslabs() hit loading metaslab it
usually stopped (unless memlimit is also exceeded), but now it may
flush more metaslabs, just skipping that particular one.  This
increased chances of assertion to fire when the skipped metaslab is
flushed on next iteration if all other metaslabs in that summary
entry are already flushed out of order.

Improve log spacemap load time
Previous flushing algorithm limited only total number of log blocks to
the minimum of 256K and 4x number of metaslabs in the pool.  As result,
system with 1500 disks with 1000 metaslabs each, touching several new
metaslabs each TXG could grow spacemap log to huge size without much
benefits.  We've observed one of such systems importing pool for about
45 minutes.

This patch improves the situation from five sides:
 - By limiting maximum period for each metaslab to be flushed to 1000
TXGs, that effectively limits maximum number of per-TXG spacemap logs
to load to the same number.
 - By making flushing more smooth via accounting number of metaslabs
that were touched after the last flush and actually need another flush,
not just ms_unflushed_txg bump.
 - By applying zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct to the number of metaslabs
that were touched after the last flush, not all metaslabs in the pool.
 - By aggressively prefetching per-TXG spacemap logs up to 16 TXGs in
advance, making log spacemap load process for wide HDD pool CPU-bound,
accelerating it by many times.
 - By reducing zfs_unflushed_log_block_max from 256K to 128K, reducing
single-threaded by nature log processing time from ~10 to ~5 minutes.

As further optimization we could skip bumping ms_unflushed_txg for
metaslabs not touched since the last flush, but that would be an
incompatible change, requiring new pool feature.

f09fda5071 Cap metaslab memory usage
On systems with large amounts of storage and high fragmentation, a huge 
amount of space can be used by storing metaslab range trees. Since 
metaslabs are only unloaded during a txg sync, and only if they have 
been inactive for 8 txgs, it is possible to get into a state where all 
of the system's memory is consumed by range trees and metaslabs, and 
txgs cannot sync. While ZFS knows how to evict ARC data when needed, 
it has no such mechanism for range tree data. This can result in boot 
hangs for some system configurations.

First, we add the ability to unload metaslabs outside of syncing 
context. Second, we store a multilist of all loaded metaslabs, sorted 
by their selection txg, so we can quickly identify the oldest 
metaslabs.  We use a multilist to reduce lock contention during heavy 
write workloads. Finally, we add logic that will unload a metaslab 
when we're loading a new metaslab, if we're using more than a certain 
fraction of the available memory on range trees.

93e28d661e Log Spacemap Project
= Motivation

At Delphix we've seen a lot of customer systems where fragmentation
is over 75% and random writes take a performance hit because a lot
of time is spend on I/Os that update on-disk space accounting metadata.
Specifically, we seen cases where 20% to 40% of sync time is spend
after sync pass 1 and ~30% of the I/Os on the system is spent updating
spacemaps.

The problem is that these pools have existed long enough that we've
touched almost every metaslab at least once, and random writes
scatter frees across all metaslabs every TXG, thus appending to
their spacemaps and resulting in many I/Os. To give an example,
assuming that every VDEV has 200 metaslabs and our writes fit within
a single spacemap block (generally 4K) we have 200 I/Os. Then if we
assume 2 levels of indirection, we need 400 additional I/Os and
since we are talking about metadata for which we keep 2 extra copies
for redundancy we need to triple that number, leading to a total of
1800 I/Os per VDEV every TXG.

We could try and decrease the number of metaslabs so we have less
I/Os per TXG but then each metaslab would cover a wider range on
disk and thus would take more time to be loaded in memory from disk.
In addition, after it's loaded, it's range tree would consume more
memory.

Another idea would be to just increase the spacemap block size
which would allow us to fit more entries within an I/O block
resulting in fewer I/Os per metaslab and a speedup in loading time.
The problem is still that we don't deal with the number of I/Os
going up as the number of metaslabs is increasing and the fact
is that we generally write a lot to a few metaslabs and a little
to the rest of them. Thus, just increasing the block size would
actually waste bandwidth because we won't be utilizing our bigger
block size.

= About this patch

This patch introduces the Log Spacemap project which provides the
solution to the above problem while taking into account all the
aforementioned tradeoffs. The details on how it achieves that can
be found in the references sections below and in the code (see
Big Theory Statement in spa_log_spacemap.c).

Even though the change is fairly constraint within the metaslab
and lower-level SPA codepaths, there is a side-change that is
user-facing. The change is that VDEV IDs from VDEV holes will no
longer be reused. To give some background and reasoning for this,
when a log device is removed and its VDEV structure was replaced
with a hole (or was compacted; if at the end of the vdev array),
its vdev_id could be reused by devices added after that. Now
with the pool-wide space maps recording the vdev ID, this behavior
can cause problems (e.g. is this entry referring to a segment in
the new vdev or the removed log?). Thus, to simplify things the
ID reuse behavior is gone and now vdev IDs for top-level vdevs
are truly unique within a pool.

= Testing

The illumos implementation of this feature has been used internally
for a year and has been in production for ~6 months. For this patch
specifically there don't seem to be any regressions introduced to
ZTS and I have been running zloop for a week without any related
problems.

= Performance Analysis (Linux Specific)

All performance results and analysis for illumos can be found in
the links of the references. Redoing the same experiments in Linux
gave similar results. Below are the specifics of the Linux run.

After the pool reached stable state the percentage of the time
spent in pass 1 per TXG was 64% on average for the stock bits
while the log spacemap bits stayed at 95% during the experiment
(graph: sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/PercOfSyncInPassOne.png).

Sync times per TXG were 37.6 seconds on average for the stock
bits and 22.7 seconds for the log spacemap bits (related graph:
sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/SyncTimePerTXG.png). As a result
the log spacemap bits were able to push more TXGs, which is also
the reason why all graphs quantified per TXG have more entries for
the log spacemap bits.

Another interesting aspect in terms of txg syncs is that the stock
bits had 22% of their TXGs reach sync pass 7, 55% reach sync pass 8,
and 20% reach 9. The log space map bits reached sync pass 4 in 79%
of their TXGs, sync pass 7 in 19%, and sync pass 8 at 1%. This
emphasizes the fact that not only we spend less time on metadata
but we also iterate less times to convergence in spa_sync() dirtying
objects.

Finally, the improvement in IOPs that the userland gains from the
change is approximately 40%. There is a consistent win in IOPS as
you can see from the graphs below but the absolute amount of
improvement that the log spacemap gives varies within each minute
interval.
