Increase the minimum supported kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10.
This removes support for the following Linux enterprise distributions.
Distribution | Kernel | End of Life
---------------- | ------ | -------------
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 3.2 | Apr 28, 2017
SLES 11 | 3.0 | Mar 32, 2019
RHEL / CentOS 6 | 2.6.32 | Nov 30, 2020
The following changes were made as part of removing support.
* Updated `configure` to enforce a minimum kernel version as
specified in the META file (Linux-Minimum: 3.10).
configure: error:
*** Cannot build against kernel version 2.6.32.
*** The minimum supported kernel version is 3.10.
* Removed all `configure` kABI checks and matching C code for
interfaces which solely predate the Linux 3.10 kernel.
* Updated all `configure` kABI checks to fail when an interface is
missing which was in the 3.10 kernel up to the latest 5.1 kernel.
Removed the HAVE_* preprocessor defines for these checks and
updated the code to unconditionally use the verified interface.
* Inverted the detection logic in several kABI checks to match
the new interface as it appears in 3.10 and newer and not the
legacy interface.
* Consolidated the following checks in to individual files. Due
the large number of changes in the checks it made sense to handle
this now. It would be desirable to group other related checks in
the same fashion, but this as left as future work.
- config/kernel-blkdev.m4 - Block device kABI checks
- config/kernel-blk-queue.m4 - Block queue kABI checks
- config/kernel-bio.m4 - Bio interface kABI checks
* Removed the kABI checks for sops->nr_cached_objects() and
sops->free_cached_objects(). These interfaces are currently unused.

Closes#9566
This patch removes the need for zpl_revalidate altogether.
There were 3 main reasons why we used d_revalidate:
1. periodic automounted snapshots umount deferral
2. negative dentries created before snapshot rollback
3. stale inodes referenced by dentry cache after snapshot rollback
Periodic snapshots deferral solution introduces zfs_exit_fs function,
which is called as a part of ZFS_EXIT(zfsvfs_t) macro.
Negative dentries and stale inodes are solved by flushing the dcache
for the particular dataset on zfs_resume_fs call.
This patch also removes now unused HAVE_S_D_OP configure test.

Move platform specific Linux source under module/os/linux/
and update the build system accordingly. Additional code
restructuring will follow to make the common code fully
portable.
