Ricardo has pointed out that under Solaris the cwd is set to '/'
during module load, while under Linux it is set to the callers cwd.
To handle this cleanly I've reworked the module *_init()/_exit()
macros so they call a *_setup()/_cleanup() function when any SPL
dependent module is loaded or unloaded. This gives us a chance to
perform any needed modification of the process, in this case changing
the cwd. It also handily provides a way to avoid creating wrapper
init()/exit() functions because the Solaris and Linux prototypes
differ slightly. All dependent modules should now call the spl
helper macros spl_module_{init,exit}() instead of the native linux
versions.
Unfortunately, it appears that under Linux there has been no consistent
API in the kernel to set the cwd in a module. Because of this I have
had to add more autoconf magic than I'd like. However, what I have
done is correct and has been tested on RHEL5, SLES11, FC11, and CHAOS
kernels.
In addition, I have change the rootdir type from a 'void *' to the
correct 'vnode_t *' type. And I've set rootdir to a non-NULL value.
- Enable builds for powerpc ISA type.
- Add DIV_ROUND_UP and roundup macros if unavailable.
- Cast 64-bit values for %lld format string to (long long) to
quiet compile warning.
Minimal support added for the zone_get_hostid() function. Only
global zones are supported therefore this function must be called
with a NULL argumment. Additionally, I've added the HW_HOSTID_LEN
define and updated all instances where a hard coded magic value
of 11 was used; "A good riddance of bad rubbish!"
Support added to provide reasonable values for the global Solaris
VM variables: minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree. These values
are set to the sum of their per-zone linux counterparts which
should be close enough for Solaris consumers.
When a non-GPL app links against the SPL we cannot use the udev
interfaces, which means non of the device special files are created.
Because of this I had added a poor mans udev which cause the SPL
to invoke an upcall and create the basic devices when a minor
is registered. When a minor is unregistered we use the vnode
interface to unlink the special file.
- Added slab work queue task which gradually ages and free's slabs
from the cache which have not been used recently.
- Optimized slab packing algorithm to ensure each slab contains the
maximum number of objects without create to large a slab.
- Fix deadlock, we can never call kv_free() under the skc_lock. We
now unlink the objects and slabs from the cache itself and attach
them to a private work list. The contents of the list are then
subsequently freed outside the spin lock.
- Move magazine create/destroy operation on to local cpu.
- Further performace optimizations by minimize the usage of the large
per-cache skc_lock. This includes the addition of KMC_BIT_REAPING
bit mask which is used to prevent concurrent reaping, and to defer
new slab creation when reaping is occuring.
- Add KMC_BIT_DESTROYING bit mask which is set when the cache is being
destroyed, this is used to catch any task accessing the cache while
it is being destroyed.
- Add comments to all the functions and additional comments to try
and make everything as clear as possible.
- Major cleanup and additions to the SPLAT kmem tests to more
rigerously stress the cache implementation and look for any problems.
This includes correctness and performance tests.
- Updated portable work queue interfaces
working on this branch for the next few days I suggested you work
off of the 0.3.1 tag. The following changes are fairly extensive
and are designed to make the SPL compatible with all kernels in
the range of 2.6.18-2.6.25. There were 13 relevant API changes
between these releases and I have added the needed autoconf tests
to check for them. However, this has not all been tested extensively.
I'll sort of the breakage on Fedora Core 9 and RHEL5 this week.

- Replacing all BUG_ON()'s with proper ASSERT()'s
- Using ENTRY,EXIT,GOTO, and RETURN macro to instument call paths

changes bring over everything lustre had for debugging with
two exceptions. I dropped by the debug daemon and upcalls
just because it made things a little easier. They can be
readded easily enough if we feel they are needed.
Everything compiles and seems to work on first inspection
but I suspect there are a handful of issues still lingering
which I'll be sorting out right away. I just wanted to get
all these changes commited and safe. I'm getting a little
paranoid about losing them.

- Enhanse the VERIFY() support to output the values which
failed to compare as expected before crashing. This make
debugging much much much easier.

- Map the LE/BE_* byteorder macros to the linux versions
- More minor vnodes fixes

- Re-implmented kobj support based on the vnode support.
- Add TESTS option to check.sh, and removed delay after module load.

Update check.sh script to take V=1 env var so you can run it verbosely as
follows if your chasing something: sudo make check V=1
Add new kobj api and needed regression tests to allow reading of files from
within the kernel. Normally thats not something I support but the spa layer
needs the support for its config file.
Add some more missing stub headers

Add sloopy atomic declaration which will need to be fixed (eventually)
Fill out more of the Solaris VM hooks
Adjust the create_thread function
git-svn-id: https://outreach.scidac.gov/svn/spl/trunk@26 7e1ea52c-4ff2-0310-8f11-9dd32ca42a1c
added a few more stub headers,
fleshed out a few stub headers,
added a FIXME file,
added various compatibility macros
