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.

0408008b33 Make configure builtin-aware.
This patch adds a new option to configure: --enable-linux-builtin. When
this option is used, the following happens:

 - Compilation of kernel modules is disabled.

 - A failure to find UTS_RELEASE is followed by a suggestion to run
   "make prepare" on the kernel source tree.

This patch also adds a new test which tries to compile an empty module
as a basic toolchain sanity test. If it fails and the option was
specified, the error is followed by a suggestion to run "make scripts"
on the kernel source tree.

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.

e0093fea58 Linux 3.4 compat, __clear_close_on_exec replaces FD_CLR
torvalds/linux@1dce27c5aa introduced
__clear_close_on_exec() as a replacement for FD_CLR. Further commits
appear to have removed FD_CLR from the Linux source tree.  This
causes the following failure:

  error: implicit declaration of function '__FD_CLR'
  [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

To correct this we update the code to use the current
__clear_close_on_exec() interface for readability.  Then we introduce
an autotools check to determine if __clear_close_on_exec() is available.
If it isn't then we define some compatibility logic which used the older
FD_CLR() interface.

a3a69b74cd Fix distribution detection
Improve the distribution detection by moving the tests for
distribution specific files first.  The Ubuntu and Debian
checks are left for last because they are the least likely
to be unique.  This is particularly true in the case of Debian
since so many distributions are based on Debian.

Since this is currently only used to identify the correct
packaging method for this system the result in many instances
is simply cosmetic.

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.

c2dceb5cd5 Add make rule for building Arch Linux packages
Added the necessary build infrastructure for building packages
compatible with the Arch Linux distribution. As such, one can now run:

    $ ./configure
    $ make pkg     # Alternatively, one can run 'make arch' as well

on an Arch Linux machine to create two binary packages compatible with
the pacman package manager, one for the spl userland utilties and
another for the spl kernel modules. The new packages can then be
installed by running:

    # pacman -U $package.pkg.tar.xz

In addition, source-only packages suitable for an Arch Linux chroot
environment or remote builder can also be built using the 'sarch' make
rule.

NOTE: Since the source dist tarball is created on the fly from the head
of the build tree, it's MD5 hash signature will be continually influx.
As a result, the md5sum variable was intentionally omitted from the
PKGBUILD files, and the '--skipinteg' makepkg option is used. This may
or may not have any serious security implications, as the source tarball
is not being downloaded from an outside source.

03318641af Fix gcc configure warnings
Newer versions of gcc are getting smart enough to detect the sloppy
syntax used for the autoconf tests.  It is now generating warnings
for unused/undeclared variables.  Newer version of gcc even have
the -Wunused-but-set-variable option set by default.  This isn't a
problem except when -Werror is set and they get promoted to an error.
In this case the autoconf test will return an incorrect result which
will result in a build failure latter on.

To handle this I'm tightening up many of the autoconf tests to
explicitly mark variables as unused to suppress the gcc warning.
Remember, all of the autoconf code can never actually be run we
just want to get a clean build error to detect which APIs are
available.  Never using a variable is absolutely fine for this.

914b063133 Linux compat 2.6.37, invalidate_inodes()
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.

Long term we should try to get this, or another, interface made
available to modules again.

a7958f7eef Support custom build directories
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.

wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/spl/spl-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf spl-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd spl-x-y-z

------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------
<ubuntu system>  <fedora system>  <debian system>  <rhel6 system>
mkdir ubuntu     mkdir fedora     mkdir debian     mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu        cd fedora        cd debian        cd rhel6

make check       make check       make check       make check

This is something the project has almost supported for a long time
but finishing this support should save me lots of time.

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.

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.

f0ff89fc86 Linux 2.6.35 compat: filp_fsync() dropped 'stuct dentry *'
The prototype for filp_fsync() drop the unused argument 'stuct dentry *'.
I've fixed this by adding the needed autoconf check and moving all of
those filp related functions to file_compat.h.  This will simplify
handling any further API changes in the future.

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.

dbe561d8ab Allow config/build to work with autoconf-2.65
As of autoconf-2.65 the AC_LANG_SOURCE source macro no longer
includes the confdef.h results when expanded.  To handle this
simply explicitly include confdef.h in conftest.c.  This will
cause two copies to of confdef.h to be added to the test for
earlier autoconf versions but this is not harmful.

1814251453 Require gawk the usermode helper fails with awk
For some reason when awk invoked by the usermode helper the command
always fails.  Interestingly gawk does not suffer from this problem
which is why I never observed this failure since the distro I tested
with all had gawk installed instead of awk.  Anyway, the simplest
thing to do here is to just make gawk mandatory.  I've added a
configure check for gawk specifically and have updated the command
to call gawk not awk.

7119bf7044 Add configure check for user_path_dir()
I didn't notice at the time but user_path_dir() was not introduced
at the same time as set_fs_pwd() change.  I had lumped the two
together but in fact user_path_dir() was introduced in 2.6.27 and
set_fs_pwd() taking 2 args was introduced in 2.6.25.  This means
builds against 2.6.25-2.6.26 kernels were broken.

To fix this I've added a check for user_path_dir() and no longer
assume that if set_fs_pwd() takes 2 args then user_path_dir() is
also available.

c2688979a4 Remove AC_DEFINE for DEBUG/NDEBUG
Whoops, I momentarilly forgot I had explicitly set these as CC
options so dependent packages which need to include spl_config.h
would not end up having these defined which can result in
accidentally hanging debug enabled at best, or a build failure
at worst.

c950d1480d Only make compiler warnings fatal with --enable-debug
While in theory I like the idea of compiler warnings always being
fatal.  In practice this causes problems when small harmless errors
cause build failures for end users.  To handle this I've updated
the build system such that -Werror is only used when --enable-debug
is passed to configure.  This is how I always build when developing
so I'll catch all build warnings and end users will not get stuck
by minor issues.

79a3bf130b Linux-2.6.33 compat, .ctl_name removed from struct ctl_table
As of linux-2.6.33 the ctl_name member of the ctl_table struct
has been entirely removed.  The upstream code has been updated
to depend entirely on the the procname member.  To handle this
all references to ctl_name are wrapped in a CTL_NAME macro which
simply expands to nothing for newer kernels.  Older kernels are
supported by having it expand to .ctl_name = X just as before.

all three possible locations where your kernel version may be defined.

	$kernelbuild/include/linux/utsrelease.h

b868e22f05 Add kmem_asprintf(), strfree(), strdup(), and minor cleanup.
This patch adds three missing Solaris functions: kmem_asprintf(), strfree(),
and strdup().  They are all implemented as a thin layer which just calls
their Linux counterparts.  As part of this an autoconf check for kvasprintf
was added because it does not appear in older kernels.  If the kernel does
not provide it then spl-generic implements it.

Additionally the dead DEBUG_KMEM_UNIMPLEMENTED code was removed to clean
things up and make the kmem.h a little more readable.

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.
