92c2f755ee Support debug and debug-devel sub packages
This commit adds support for building debug and debug-devel sub packages
of the spl-modules main package. This is to allow building packages
which are built against a debug kernel. By default, only packages are
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.

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.

2371321e8a Fix invalid context bug
In the module unload path the vm_file_cache was being destroyed
under a spin lock.  Because this operation might sleep it was
possible, although very very unlikely, that this could result
in a deadlock.

This issue was indentified by using a Linux debug kernel and
has been fixed by moving the kmem_cache_destroy() out from under
the spin lock.  There is no need to lock this operation here.

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.

Therefore, I'm removing them from the spl to reclaim this memory
and adding an ASSERT() to ensure no new consumers are added which
make use of the name.

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.

3c6ed5410b Taskq locking optimizations
Testing has shown that tq->tq_lock can be highly contended when a
large number of small work items are dispatched.  The lock hold time
is reduced by the following changes:

1) Use exclusive threads in the work_waitq

When a single work item is dispatched we only need to wake a single
thread to service it.  The current implementation uses non-exclusive
threads so all threads are woken when the dispatcher calls wake_up().
If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become
non-negligible.

2) Conditionally add/remove threads from work waitq

Taskq threads need only add themselves to the work wait queue if
there are no pending work items.

0bb43ca282 Revert "Taskq locking optimizations"
This reverts commit ec2b41049f.

A race condition was introduced by which a wake_up() call can be lost
after the taskq thread determines there is no pending work items,
leading to deadlock:

1. taksq thread enables interrupts
2. dispatcher thread runs, queues work item, call wake_up()
3. taskq thread runs, adds self to waitq, sleeps

This could easily happen if an interrupt for an IO completion was
outstanding at the point where the taskq thread reenables interrupts,
just before the call to add_wait_queue_exclusive().  The handler would
run immediately within the race window.

ec2b41049f Taskq locking optimizations
Testing has shown that tq->tq_lock can be highly contended when a
large number of small work items are dispatched.  The lock hold time
is reduced by the following changes:

1) Use exclusive threads in the work_waitq

When a single work item is dispatched we only need to wake a single
thread to service it.  The current implementation uses non-exclusive
threads so all threads are woken when the dispatcher calls wake_up().
If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become
non-negligible.

2) Conditionally add/remove threads from work waitq outside of tq_lock

Taskq threads need only add themselves to the work wait queue if there
are no pending work items.  Furthermore, the add and remove function
calls can be made outside of the taskq lock since the wait queues are
protected from concurrent access by their own spinlocks.

3) Call wake_up() outside of tq->tq_lock

Again, the wait queues are protected by their own spinlock, so the
dispatcher functions can drop tq->tq_lock before calling wake_up().

A new splat test taskq:contention was added in a prior commit to measure
the impact of these changes.  The following table summarizes the
results using data from the kernel lock profiler.

                        tq_lock time    %diff   Wall clock (s)  %diff
original:               39117614.10     0       41.72           0
exclusive threads:      31871483.61     18.5    34.2            18.0
unlocked add/rm waitq:  13794303.90     64.7    16.17           61.2
unlocked wake_up():     1589172.08      95.9    16.61           60.2

Each row reflects the average result over 5 test runs.
/proc/lock_stats was zeroed out before and collected after each run.
Column 1 is the cumulative hold time in microseconds for tq->tq_lock.
The tests are cumulative; each row reflects the code changes of the
previous rows.  %diff is calculated with respect to "original" as
100*(orig-new)/orig.

Although calling wake_up() outside of the taskq lock dramatically
reduced the taskq lock hold time, the test actually took slightly more
wall clock time.  This is because the point of contention shifts from
the taskq lock to the wait queue lock.  But the change still seems
worthwhile since it removes our taskq implementation as a bottleneck,
assuming the small increase in wall clock time to be statistical
noise.

8f2503e0af Store copy of tqent_flags prior to servicing task
A preallocated taskq_ent_t's tqent_flags must be checked prior to
servicing the taskq_ent_t. Once a preallocated taskq entry is serviced,
the ownership of the entry is handed back to the caller of
taskq_dispatch, thus the entry's contents can potentially be mangled.

In particular, this is a problem in the case where a preallocated taskq
entry is serviced, and the caller clears it's tqent_flags field. Thus,
when the function returns and task_done is called, it looks as though
the entry is **not** a preallocated task (when in fact it **is** a
preallocated task).

In this situation, task_done will place the preallocated taskq_ent_t
structure onto the taskq_t's free list. This is a **huge** mistake. If
the taskq_ent_t is then freed by the caller of taskq_dispatch, the
taskq_t's free list will hold a pointer to garbage data. Even worse, if
nothing has over written the freed memory before the pointer is
dereferenced, it may still look as though it points to a valid list_head
belonging to a taskq_ent_t structure.

Thus, the task entry's flags are now copied prior to servicing the task.
This copy is then checked to see if it is a preallocated task, and
determine if the entry needs to be passed down to the task_done
function.

e7e5f78e7b Swap taskq_ent_t with taskqid_t in taskq_thread_t
The taskq_t's active thread list is sorted based on its
tqt_ent->tqent_id field. The list is kept sorted solely by inserting
new taskq_thread_t's in their correct sorted location; no other
means is used. This means that once inserted, if a taskq_thread_t's
tqt_ent->tqent_id field changes, the list runs the risk of no
longer being sorted.

Prior to the introduction of the taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface,
this was not a problem as a taskq_ent_t actively being serviced under
the old interface should always have a static tqent_id field. Thus,
once the taskq_thread_t is added to the taskq_t's active thread list,
the taskq_thread_t's tqt_ent->tqent_id field would remain constant.

Now, this is no longer the case. Currently, if using the
taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface, any given taskq_ent_t actively
being serviced _may_ have its tqent_id value incremented. This happens
when the preallocated taskq_ent_t structure is recursively dispatched.
Thus, a taskq_thread_t could potentially have its tqt_ent->tqent_id
field silently modified from under its feet. If this were to happen
to a taskq_thread_t on a taskq_t's active thread list, this would
compromise the integrity of the order of the list (as the list
_may_ no longer be sorted).

To get around this, the taskq_thread_t's taskq_ent_t pointer was
replaced with its own static copy of the tqent_id. So, as a taskq_ent_t
is pulled off of the taskq_t's pending list, a static copy of its
tqent_id is made and this copy is used to sort the active thread
list. Using a static copy is key in ensuring the integrity of the
order of the active thread list. Even if the underlying taskq_ent_t
is recursively dispatched (as has its tqent_id modified), this
static copy stored inside the taskq_thread_t will remain constant.

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.

44217f7aad Implement taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface
This patch implements the taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface which
was introduced by the following illumos-gate commit.  It allows for
a preallocated taskq_ent_t to be used when dispatching items to a
taskq.  This eliminates a memory allocation which helps minimize
lock contention in the taskq when dispatching functions.

ac1e5b6033 Add Test: "Single task queue, recursive dispatch"
Added another splat taskq test to ensure tasks can be recursively
submitted to a single task queue without issue. When the
taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface is introduced, this use case
can potentially cause a deadlock if a taskq_ent_t is dispatched
while its tqent_list field is not empty. This _should_ never be
a problem with the existing taskq_dispatch() interface.

2c02b71b14 Replace tq_work_list and tq_threads in taskq_t
To lay the ground work for introducing the taskq_dispatch_prealloc()
interface, the tq_work_list and tq_threads fields had to be replaced
with new alternatives in the taskq_t structure.

The tq_threads field was replaced with tq_thread_list. Rather than
storing the pointers to the taskq's kernel threads in an array, they are
now stored as a list. In addition to laying the ground work for the
taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface, this change could also enable taskq
threads to be dynamically created and destroyed as threads can now be
added and removed to this list relatively easily.

The tq_work_list field was replaced with tq_active_list. Instead of
keeping a list of taskq_ent_t's which are currently being serviced, a
list of taskq_threads currently servicing a taskq_ent_t is kept. This
frees up the taskq_ent_t's tqent_list field when it is being serviced
(i.e. now when a taskq_ent_t is being serviced, it's tqent_list field
will be empty).

the ZFS code assumes.  Previously these fields were private

ZFS and 64-bit linux are perfectly capable of dealing with 64-bit
timestamps, but ZFS deliberately prevents setting them.  Adjust
the SPL such that TIMESPEC_OVERFLOW will not always assume 32-bit
values and instead use the correct values for your kernel build.
This effectively allows 64-bit timestamps on 64-bit systems.
