Fix undefined RPM macros
Always invoke the SPL_AC_DEBUG* macro's when running configure
so RPM_DEFINE_COMMON is correctly expanded.  A similar change
was already applied to ZFS.

43983eb202 Fix spl-kmod builds when using rpm >= 4.14
With rpm-software-management/rpm@5e94633 a package version containing
invalid characters (most commonly a double '-') causes the kmod package
generation to terminate with an error.  This change takes advantage of
the newly introduced rpm macro "_wrong_version_format_terminate_build"
to allow kmod packages to be built.

Linux 4.14 compat: vfs_read & vfs_write
The kernel_read & kernel_write functions have always wrapped the
vfs_read & vfs_write functions respectively.  However, they could
not be used by vn_rdwr() since the offset wasn't passed as a
pointer.  This prevented us from being able to properly update
the file offset.

Linux 4.14 unexported vfs_read & vfs_write but also changed the
signature of kernel_read & kernel_write to provide the needed
functionality.  Use these updated functions when available.

98cdcb8286 Remove misguided HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER check, take 2
It is just plain unsafe to peek inside in-kernel

does with those internal fields like owner.

Kernel is all too happy to stop doing the expected things
like tracing lock owner once you load a tainted module
like spl/zfs that is not GPL.

As such you will get instant assertion failures like this:

bf8abea4da Linux 4.11 compat: remove stub for __put_task_struct
Before kernel 2.6.29 credentials were embedded in task_structs, and zfs had
cases where one thread would need to refer to the credential of another thread,
forcing it to take a hold on the foreign thread's task_struct to ensure it was
not freed.

Since 2.6.29, the credential has been moved out of the task_struct into a
cred_t.

In addition, the mainline kernel originally did not export __put_task_struct()
but the RHEL5 kernel did, according to zfsonlinux/spl@e811949a57.  As of
2.6.39 the mainline kernel exports it.

There is no longer zfs code that takes or releases holds on a task_struct, and
so there is no longer any reference to __put_task_struct().

This affects the linux 4.11 kernel because the prototype for
__put_task_struct() is in a new include file (linux/sched/task.h) and so the
config check failed to detect the exported symbol.

Removing the unnecessary stub and corresponding config check.  This works on
kernels since the oldest one currently supported, 2.6.32 as shipped with
Centos/RHEL.

94b1ab2ae0 Linux 4.11 compat: vfs_getattr() takes 4 args
There are changes to vfs_getattr() in torvalds/linux@a528d35.  The new
interface is:

int vfs_getattr(const struct path *path, struct kstat *stat,
               u32 request_mask, unsigned int query_flags)

The request_mask argument indicates which field(s) the caller intends to
use.  Fields the caller does not specify via request_mask may be set in
the returned struct anyway, but their values may be approximate.

The query_flags argument indicates whether the filesystem must update
the attributes from the backing store.

This patch uses the query_flags which result in vfs_getattr behaving the same
as it did with the 2-argument version which the kernel provided before
Linux 4.11.

Members blksize and blocks are now always the same size regardless of
arch.  They match the size of the equivalent members in vnode_t.

The configure checks are modified to ensure that the appropriate
vfs_getattr() interface is used.

A more complete fix, removing the ZFS dependency on vfs_getattr()
entirely, is deferred as it is a much larger project.

4b9dddf430 Add handling for kernel 4.7's CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
Kernel 4.7 added the option to trim the unused exported symbols. In
my testing this showed to be problematic since the PDE_DATA function
was considered unused and as such was trimmed. This in turn caused the
respective test during spl's configure stage to falsely detect that
PDE_DATA is not defined, which in turn caused build failures later.

Handle this situation by adding detection whether CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
is enabled and refuse to build against a kernel which has it enabled

f58040c0fc Implement a proper rw_tryupgrade
Current rw_tryupgrade does rw_exit and then rw_tryenter(RW_RWITER), and then
does rw_enter(RW_READER) if it fails. This violate the assumption that
rw_tryupgrade should be atomic and could cause extra contention or even lock
inversion.

This patch we implement a proper rw_tryupgrade. For rwsem-spinlock, we take
the spinlock to check rwsem->count and rwsem->wait_list. For normal rwsem, we
use cmpxchg on rwsem->count to change the value from single reader to single
writer.

5f920fbee1 Retire MUTEX_OWNER checks
To minimize the size of a kmutex_t a MUTEX_OWNER check was added.
It allowed the kmutex_t wrapper to leverage the mutex owner which was
already stored in the mutex for certain kernel configurations.

The upside to this was that it reduced the size of the kmutex_t wrapper
structure by the size of a task_struct pointer (4/8 bytes).  The
downside was that two mutex implementations needed to be maintained.
Depending on your exact kernel configuration the correct one would
be selected.

Over the years this solution worked but it could be fragile since it
depending heavily on assumed kernel mutex implementation details.  For
example the SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER_TASK_STRUCT configure check needed to
be added when the kernel changed how the owner was stored.  It also
made the code more complicated than it needed to be.

Therefore, in the name of simplicity and portability this optimization
is being retired.  It will slightly increase the memory requirements
for a kmutex_t but only very slightly.

maintain parallel functionality it makes sense to fully adopt

The groups_search() function was never exported by a mainline kernel
therefore we drop this compatibility code and always provide our own
implementation.

Additionally, the cred_t structure has been available since 2.6.29
so there is no longer a need to maintain compatibility code.

e39174ed56 Add vfs_unlink() and vfs_rename() comments
Just for consistency with the other autoconf checks a small comment
block was added before these checks.

137af025f6 Remove set_fs_pwd() configure check
This function has never been exported by any mainline and was only
briefly available under RHEL5.  Therefore this check is being removed
and the code update to always use the wrapper function.

The next step will be to eliminate all this code.  If ZFS were updated
not to assume that it's pwd was / there would be no need for this.

44778f4110 Remove kallsyms_lookup_name() wrapper
After the removable of get_vmalloc_info(), the unused global memory
variables, and the optional dcache/icache shrinkers there is no
longer a need for the kallsyms compatibility code.  This allows
us to eliminate another brittle area of the code by removing the
kernel upcall this functionality depended on for older kernels.

89a461e70c Remove shrink_{i,d}node_cache() wrappers
This is optional functionality which may or may not be useful to
ZFS when using older kernels.  It is never a hard requirement.
Therefore this functionality is being removed from the SPL and
a simpler slimmed down version will be added to ZFS.

8bbbe46f86 Remove global memory variables
Platforms such as Illumos and FreeBSD have historically provided
global variables which summerize the memory state of a system.
Linux on the otherhand doesn't expose any of this information
to kernel modules and uses entirely different mechanisms for
memory management.

In order to simplify the original ZFS port to Linux these global
variables were emulated by the SPL for the benefit of ZFS.  As ZoL
has matured over the years it has moved steadily away from these
interfaces and now no longer depends on them at all.

Therefore, this patch completely removes the global variables
availrmem, minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree, swapfs_minfree,
and swapfs_reserve.  This greatly simplifies the memory management
code and eliminates a common area of confusion.

e1310afae3 Remove get_vmalloc_info() wrapper
The get_vmalloc_info() function was used to back the vmem_size()
function.  This was always problematic and resulted in brittle
code because the kernel never provided a clean interface for
modules.

However, it turns out that the only caller of this function in
ZFS uses it to determine the total virtual address space size.
This can be determined easily without get_vmalloc_info() so
vmem_size() has been updated to take this approach which allows
us to shed the get_vmalloc_info() dependency.

2bc5666f53 Remove i_mutex() configure check
The inode structure has used i_mutex as its internal locking
primitive since 2.6.16.  The compatibility code to check for
the previous semaphore primitive has been removed.  However,
the wrapper function itself is being kept because it's entirely
possible this primitive will change again to allow finer grained
locking.
