d801db1487 Move spl.release generation to configure step
Previously, the spl.release file was created at 'make install' time.
This is slightly problematic when the file is needed without running
'make install'. Because of this, the step creating the file was removed
from 'make install' and replaced with a more appropriate spl.release.in
file.

As a result, the spl.release file will now be created earlier as part
of the 'configure' step as opposed to the 'make install' step.

7535251dcf Add PowerPC to supported VTOCs
This code was was inherited from Solaris which was careful to define
the expected VTOC for various supported architectures.  While this
check may have made sense there it's something we should be able to
safely drop under Linux.

However, I'm not quite ready to do that yet.  So for the moment I'm
just doing the very safe thing of adding PowerPC as a supported type.

cee43a7477 Fix efi_use_whole_disk() when efi_nparts == 128.
Commit e5dc681a changed EFI_NUMPAR from 9 to 128. This means that the
on-disk EFI label has efi_nparts = 128 instead of 9. The index of the
reserved partition, however, is still 8. This breaks
efi_use_whole_disk(), which uses efi_nparts-1 as the index of the
reserved partition.

This commit fixes efi_use_whole_disk() when the index of the reserved
partition is not efi_nparts-1. It rewrites the algorithm and makes it
more robust by using the order of the partitions instead of their
numbering. It assumes that the last non-empty partition is the reserved
partition, and that the non-empty partition before that is the data
partition.

7608bd0dd0 Use the right device path when relabeling.
Currently, zpool_vdev_online() calls zpool_relabel_disk() with a short
partition device name, which is obviously wrong because (1)
zpool_relabel_disk() expects a full, absolute path to use with open()
and (2) efi_write() must be called on an opened disk device, not a
partition device.

With this patch, zpool_relabel_disk() gets called with a full disk
device path. The path is determined using the same algorithm as
zpool_find_vdev().

8adf486422 Fix error handling for "zpool online -e".
The error handling code around zpool_relabel_disk() is either inexistent
or wrong. The function call itself is not checked, and
zpool_relabel_disk() is generating error messages from an unitialized
buffer.

Before:

    # zpool online -e homez sdb; echo $?
    `: cannot relabel 'sdb1': unable to open device: 2
    0

After:

    # zpool online -e homez sdb; echo $?
    cannot expand sdb: cannot relabel 'sdb1': unable to open device: 2

36811b4430 Detect kernels that honor gfp flags passed to vmalloc()
zfsonlinux/spl@2092cf68d8 used
PF_MEMALLOC to workaround a bug in the Linux kernel where
allocations did not honor the gfp flags passed to vmalloc().
Unfortunately, PF_MEMALLOC has the side effect of permitting
allocations to allocate pages outside of ZONE_NORMAL. This
has been observed to result in the depletion of ZONE_DMA32.

A kernel patch is available in the Gentoo bug tracker for
this issue.

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685

This negates any benefit PF_MEMALLOC provides, so we introduce
an autotools check to disable the use of PF_MEMALLOC on
systems with patched kernels.

built against a regular non-debug kernel. This can be toggled by passing
the '--with kernel-debug' parameter to rpmbuild.

Examples:

    # To build packages against only the non-debug kernel
    $ rpmbuild --rebuild --with kernel --without kernel-debug $SRPM

    # To build packages against only the debug kernel
    $ rpmbuild --rebuild --without kernel --with kernel-debug $SRPM

    # To build packages against debug and non-debug kernel
    $ rpmbuild --rebuild --with kernel --with kernel-debug $SRPM

Note: Only the RHEL 5/6, CHAOS 5, and Fedora distributions are supported
      for building the debug and debug-devel packages.

b6ad9671ac Add ZIL statistics.
The performance of the ZIL is usually the main bottleneck when dealing with
synchronous, write-heavy workloads (e.g. databases). Understanding the
behavior of the ZIL is required to diagnose performance issues for these
workloads, and to tune ZIL parameters (like zil_slog_limit) accordingly.

This commit adds a new kstat page dedicated to the ZIL with some counters
which, hopefully, scheds some light into what the ZIL is doing, and how it is
doing it.

Currently, these statistics are available in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/zil.
A description of the fields can be found in zil.h.

0cee24064a Speed up 'zfs list -t snapshot -o name -s name'
FreeBSD #xxx:  Dramatically optimize listing snapshots when user
requests only snapshot names and wants to sort them by name, ie.
when executes:

  # zfs list -t snapshot -o name -s name

Because only name is needed we don't have to read all snapshot
properties.

Below you can find how long does it take to list 34509 snapshots
from a single disk pool before and after this change with cold and
warm cache:

    before:

        # time zfs list -t snapshot -o name -s name > /dev/null
        cold cache: 525s
        warm cache: 218s

    after:

        # time zfs list -t snapshot -o name -s name > /dev/null
        cold cache: 1.7s
        warm cache: 1.1s

NOTE: This patch only appears in FreeBSD.  If/when Illumos picks up
the change we may want to drop this patch and adopt their version.
However, for now this addresses a real issue.

74497b7ab6 Add zvol_inhibit_dev module option.
ZoL can create more zvols at runtime than can be configured during
system start, which hangs the init stack at reboot.

When a slow system has more than a few hundred zvols, udev will
fork bomb during system start and spend too much time in device
detection routines, so upstart kills it.

The zfs_inhibit_dev option allows an affected system to be rescued
by skipping /dev/zd* creation and thereby avoiding the udev
overload. All zvols are made inaccessible if this option is set, but
the `zfs destroy` and `zfs send` commands still work, and ZFS
filesystems can be mounted.

ee191e802c Make zil_slog_limit a tunable module parameter.
zil_slog_limit specifies the maximum commit size to be written to the separate
log device. Larger commits bypass the separate log device and go directly to
the data devices.

The optimal value for zil_slog_limit directly depends on the latency and
throughput characteristics of both the separate log device and the data disks.
Small synchronous writes are faster on low-latency separate log devices (e.g.
SSDs) whereas large synchronous writes are faster on high-latency data disks
(e.g. spindles) because of higher throughput, especially with a large array.
The point is, the line between "small" and "large" synchronous writes in this
scenario is heavily dependent on the hardware used. That's why it should be
made configurable.

821b683436 Add vdev_id for JBOD-friendly udev aliases
vdev_id parses the file /etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf to map a physical path
in a storage topology to a channel name.  The channel name is combined
with a disk enclosure slot number to create an alias that reflects the
physical location of the drive.  This is particularly helpful when it
comes to tasks like replacing failed drives.  Slot numbers may also be
re-mapped in case the default numbering is unsatisfactory.  The drive
aliases will be created as symbolic links in /dev/disk/by-vdev.

The only currently supported topologies are sas_direct and sas_switch:

o  sas_direct - a channel is uniquely identified by a PCI slot and a
   HBA port

o  sas_switch - a channel is uniquely identified by a SAS switch port

A multipath mode is supported in which dm-mpath devices are handled by
examining the first running component disk, as reported by 'multipath
-l'.  In multipath mode the configuration file should contain a
channel definition with the same name for each path to a given
enclosure.

vdev_id can replace the existing zpool_id script on systems where the
storage topology conforms to sas_direct or sas_switch.  The script
could be extended to support other topologies as well.  The advantage
of vdev_id is that it is driven by a single static input file that can
be shared across multiple nodes having a common storage toplogy.
zpool_id, on the other hand, requires a unique /etc/zfs/zdev.conf per
node and a separate slot-mapping file.  However, zpool_id provides the
flexibility of using any device names that show up in
/dev/disk/by-path, so it may still be needed on some systems.

vdev_id's functionality subsumes that of the sas_switch_id script, and
it is unlikely that anyone is using it, so sas_switch_id is removed.

Finally, /dev/disk/by-vdev is added to the list of directories that
'zpool import' will scan.

93b0dc92ea Fix ARM 64-bit division
Correctly implementating 64-bit division for ARM requires more than
just providing the __aeabi_uldivmod() and __aeabi_ldivmod() symbols.
They are need to be implemented is such a way that the quotient and
remainder and left in specific registers after the division operation
completes.  This change updates the wrapper functions to accomplish
this according to the official ARM Run-time ABI.

38d31a1e57 Remove Solaris module emulation
Originally I believed that these interfaces would be needed.
However, in practice it turned out that it was more straight
forward and maintainable to use the native Linux interfaces.
As such, this is all dead code and can be safely removed.

f90096c905 Modify KM_PUSHPAGE to use GFP_NOIO instead of GFP_NOFS
The resolution of issue #31 made KM_PUSHPAGE imply GFP_NOFS.  This
was done to prevent situations where filesystem operations which are
holding locks enter direct reclaim and attempt to reaquire those
same locks.  This clearly will result in a deadlock.

This works for datasets which are implemented in terms for filesystem
operations.  But unfortunately, swapping to a zvol will encounter
many of the same deadlocks and GFP_NOFS will not prevent this.  As
such, it is appropriate to extend KM_PUSHPAGE to use the broader
GFP_NOIO mask to handle these non-filesystem cases.

a9a7a01cf5 Add SPLAT test to exercise slab direct reclaim
This test is designed to verify that direct reclaim is functioning as
expected.  We allocate a large number of objects thus creating a large
number of slabs.  We then apply memory pressure and expect that the
direct reclaim path can easily recover those slabs.  The registered
reclaim function will free the objects and the slab shrinker will call
it repeatedly until at least a single slab can be freed.

Note it may not be possible to reclaim every last slab via direct reclaim
without a failure because the shrinker_rwsem may be contended.  For this
reason, quickly reclaiming 3/4 of the slabs is considered a success.

This should all be possible within 10 seconds.  For reference, on a
system with 2G of memory this test takes roughly 0.2 seconds to run.
It may take longer on larger memory systems but should still easily
complete in the alloted 10 seconds.

b78d4b9d98 Ensure a minimum of one slab is reclaimed
To minimize the chance of triggering an OOM during direct reclaim.
The kmem caches have been improved to make a best effort to reclaim
at least one slab when a reclaim function is registered.  This helps
avoid the case where objects are released but they are spread over
multiple slabs so no memory gets reclaimed.

Care has been taken to avoid deadlocking if the reclaim function
is unable to make forward progress.  Additionally, the reclaim
function may be skipped entirely if there are already free slabs
which can be safely reaped.

06089b9e19 Ensure direct reclaim forward progress
The Linux direct reclaim path uses this out of band value to
determine if forward progress is being made.  Normally this is
incremented by kmem_freepages() which is part of the various
Linux slab implementations.  However, since we are using none
of that infrastructure we're responsible for incrementing this
count.

If no forward progress is detected and a subsequent allocation
fails the OOM killer will be invoked.  If there was forward
progress additional reclaim will be attempted via the page
cache and registerd shrinker until the allocation succeeds.

c0e0fc14e3 Ignore slab cache age and delay in direct reclaim
When memory pressure triggers direct memory reclaim, a slabs age
and delay should not prevent it from being freed. This patch ensures
these values are ignored, allowing an empty slab to be freed in this
code path no matter the value of its age and delay.

This prevents needless scanning of the partial slabs and has been
observed to significantly reduce the total cpu usage.  In addition,
it should allow for snappier reclaim under memory pressure.

cef7605c34 Throttle number of freed slabs based on nr_to_scan
Previously, the SPL tried to maintain Solaris semantics by freeing
all available (empty) slabs from its slab caches when the shrinker
was called. This is not desirable when running on Linux. To make
the SPL shrinker more Linux friendly, the actual number of freed
slabs from each of the slab caches is now derived from nr_to_scan
and skc_slab_objs.

Additionally, an accounting bug was fixed in spl_slab_reclaim()
which could cause us to reclaim one more slab than requested.
