OpenZFS provides a library called tpool which implements thread
pools for user space applications. Porting this library means
the zpool utility no longer needs to borrow the kernel mutex and
taskq interfaces from libzpool. This code was updated to use
the tpool library which behaves in a very similar fashion.
Porting libtpool was relatively straight forward and minimal
modifications were needed. The core changes were:
* Fully convert the library to use pthreads.
* Updated signal handling.
* lmalloc/lfree converted to calloc/free
* Implemented portable pthread_attr_clone() function.
Finally, update the build system such that libzpool.so is no
longer linked in to zfs(8), zpool(8), etc. All that is required
is libzfs to which the zcommon soures were added (which is the way
it always should have been). Removing the libzpool dependency
resulted in several build issues which needed to be resolved.
* Moved zfeature support to module/zcommon/zfeature_common.c
* Moved ratelimiting to to module/zfs/zfs_ratelimit.c
* Moved get_system_hostid() to lib/libspl/gethostid.c
* Removed use of cmn_err() in zcommon source
* Removed dprintf_setup() call from zpool_main.c and zfs_main.c
* Removed highbit() and lowbit()
* Removed unnecessary library dependencies from Makefiles
* Removed fletcher-4 kstat in user space
* Added sha2 support explicitly to libzfs
* Added highbit64() and lowbit64() to zpool_util.c

I noticed during code review of zfsonlinux/zfs#4385 that the author of a
commit had peppered the various Makefile.am files with `$(TIRPC_LIBS)`
when putting it into `lib/libspl/Makefile.am` should have sufficed. Upon
further examination, it seems that he had copied what we do with
`$(ZLIB)`. We also have a bit of that with `-ldl` too. Unfortunately,
what we do is wrong, so lets fix it to set a good example for future
contributors.
In addition, we have multiple `-lz` and `-luuid` passed to the compiler
because each `AC_CHECK_LIB` adds it to `$LIBS`. That is somewhat
annoying to see, so we switch to `AC_SEARCH_LIBS` to avoid it. This is
consistent with the recommendation to use `AC_SEARCH_LIBS` over
`AC_CHECK_LIB` by autotools upstream:
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.66/html_node/Libraries.html
In an ideal world, this would translate into improvements in ELF's
`DT_NEEDED` entries, but that is not the case because of a couple of
bugs in libtool.
The first bug causes libtool to overlink by using static link
dependencies for dynamic linking:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Overlinking_issues_in_packaging#libtool_issues
The workaround for this should be to pass `-Wl,--as-needed` in
`LDFLAGS`. That leads us to the second bug, where libtool passes
`LDFLAGS` after the libraries are specified and `ld` will only honor
`--as-needed` on libraries specified before it:
https://sigquit.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/why-asneeded-doesnt-work-as-expected-for-your-libraries-on-your-autotools-project/
There are a few possible workarounds for the second bug. One is to
either patch the compiler spec file to specify `-Wl,--as-needed` or pass
`-Wl,--as-needed` via `CC` like `CC='gcc -Wl,--as-needed'` so that it is
specified early. Another is to patch ltmain.sh like Gentoo does:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass/ELT-patches/as-needed
Without one of those workarounds, this cleanup provides no benefit in
terms of `DT_NEEDED` entry generation. It should still be an improvement
because it nicely simplifies the code while encouraging good habits when
patching autotools scripts.

Closes#4426
Build products from an out of tree build should be written
relative to the build directory. Sources should be referred
to by their locations in the source directory.
This is accomplished by adding the 'src' and 'obj' variables
for the module Makefile.am, using relative paths to reference
source files, and by setting VPATH when source files are not
co-located with the Makefile. This enables the following:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure \
--with-spl=$HOME/src/git/spl/ \
--with-spl-obj=$HOME/src/git/spl/build
$ make -s
This change also has the advantage of resolving the following
warning which is generated by modern versions of automake.
Makefile.am:00: warning: source file 'xxx' is in a subdirectory,
Makefile.am:00: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled

Libraries that depend on other libraries should list them in ELF's
DT_NEEDED field so that programs linking to them do not need to specify
those libraries unless they depend on them as well. This is not the case
in the current code and the consequence is that anything that needs a
library must know its dependencies. This is fragile and caused GRUB2's
configure script to break when a dependency was added on libblkid in
libzfs.
This resolves that problem by using LIBADD/LDADD to specify libraries in
Makefile.am instead of LDFLAGS. This ensures that proper DT_NEEDED
entries are generated and prevents GRUB2's configure script from
breaking in the presence of a libblkid dependency. This also removes
unneeded dependencies from various files.

Porting notes:
WARNING: This patch changes the user/kernel ABI. That means that
the zfs/zpool utilities built from master are NOT compatible with
the 0.6.2 kernel modules. Ensure you load the matching kernel
modules from master after updating the utilities. Otherwise the
zfs/zpool commands will be unable to interact with your pool and
you will see errors similar to the following:
$ zpool list
failed to read pool configuration: bad address
no pools available
$ zfs list
no datasets available
Add zvol minor device creation to the new zfs_snapshot_nvl function.
Remove the logging of the "release" operation in
dsl_dataset_user_release_sync(). The logging caused a null dereference
because ds->ds_dir is zeroed in dsl_dataset_destroy_sync() and the
logging functions try to get the ds name via the dsl_dataset_name()
function. I've got no idea why this particular code would have worked
in Illumos. This code has subsequently been completely reworked in
Illumos commit 3b2aab1 (3464 zfs synctask code needs restructuring).
Squash some "may be used uninitialized" warning/erorrs.
Fix some printf format warnings for %lld and %llu.
Apply a few spa_writeable() changes that were made to Illumos in
illumos/illumos-gate.git@cd1c8b8 as part of the 3112, 3113, 3114 and
3115 fixes.
Add a missing call to fnvlist_free(nvl) in log_internal() that was added
in Illumos to fix issue 3085 but couldn't be ported to ZoL at the time
(zfsonlinux/zfs@9e11c73) because it depended on future work.
These libraries, which are an artifact of the ZoL development
process, conflict with packages that are already in distribution:
* libspl: SPL Programming Language
* libavl: AVL for Linux
* libefi: GRUB
And these libraries are potential conflicts:
* libshare: the Linux Mount Manager
* libunicode: Perl and Python
Recompose these five ZoL components into the four libraries that are
conventionally provided by Solaris and FreeBSD systems:
+ libnvpair
+ libuutil
+ libzpool
+ libzfs
This change resolves the name conflict, makes ZoL more compatible
with existing software that uses autotools to detect ZFS, and allows
pkg-zfs to better reflect the official Debian kFreeBSD packaging.

Closes: #430
The inclusion on dlsym(), dlopen(), and dlclose() symbols require
us to link against the dl library. Be careful to add the flag to
both the libzfs library and the commands which depend on the library.
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/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z
------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------

mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6
../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure
make make make make
make check make check make check make check
This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory. This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
Add autoconf style build infrastructure to the ZFS tree. This
includes autogen.sh, configure.ac, m4 macros, some scripts/*,
and makefiles for all the core ZFS components.
