There is no sense to have separate implementations for FreeBSD and
Linux. Make Linux code shared as more functional and just register
FreeBSD-specific prune callback with arc_add_prune_callback() API.
Aside of code cleanup this should fix excessive pruning on FreeBSD:

Commits 518b487 and 23bdb07 changed the default ARC size limit on
Linux systems to 1/2 of physical memory, which has become too
strict for modern systems with large amounts of RAM. This patch
changes the default limit to match that of FreeBSD, so ZFS may
have a unified value on both platforms.

Traditionally ARC adaptation was limited to MRU/MFU distribution. But
for years people with metadata-centric workload demanded mechanisms to
also manage data/metadata distribution, that in original ZFS was just
a FIFO. As result ZFS effectively got separate states for data and
metadata, minimum and maximum metadata limits etc, but it all required
manual tuning, was not adaptive and in its heart remained a bad FIFO.
This change removes most of existing eviction logic, rewriting it from
scratch. This makes MRU/MFU adaptation individual for data and meta-
data, same as the distribution between data and metadata themselves.
Since most of required states separation was already done, it only
required to make arcs_size state field specific per data/metadata.
The adaptation logic is still based on previous concept of ghost hits,
just now it balances ARC capacity between 4 states: MRU data, MRU
metadata, MFU data and MFU metadata. To simplify arc_c changes instead
of arc_p measured in bytes, this code uses 3 variable arc_meta, arc_pd
and arc_pm, representing ARC balance between metadata and data, MRU and
MFU for data, and MRU and MFU for metadata respectively as 32-bit fixed
point fractions. Since we care about the math result only when need to
evict, this moves all the logic from arc_adapt() to arc_evict(), that
reduces per-block overhead, since per-block operations are limited to
stats collection, now moved from arc_adapt() to arc_access() and using
cheaper wmsums. This also allows to remove ugly ARC_HDR_DO_ADAPT flag
from many places.
This change also removes number of metadata specific tunables, part of
which were actually not functioning correctly, since not all metadata
are equal and some (like L2ARC headers) are not really evictable.
Instead it introduced single opaque knob zfs_arc_meta_balance, tuning
ARC's reaction on ghost hits, allowing administrator give more or less
preference to metadata without setting strict limits.
Some of old code parts like arc_evict_meta() are just removed, because
since introduction of ABD ARC they really make no sense: only headers
referenced by small number of buffers are not evictable, and they are
really not evictable no matter what this code do. Instead just call
arc_prune_async() if too much metadata appear not evictable.

Closes#14359
Various module parameters such as `zfs_arc_max` were originally
`uint64_t` on OpenSolaris/Illumos, but were changed to `unsigned long`
for Linux compatibility because Linux's kernel default module parameter
implementation did not support 64-bit types on 32-bit platforms. This
caused problems when porting OpenZFS to Windows because its LLP64 memory
model made `unsigned long` a 32-bit type on 64-bit, which created the
undesireable situation that parameters that should accept 64-bit values
could not on 64-bit Windows.
Upon inspection, it turns out that the Linux kernel module parameter
interface is extensible, such that we are allowed to define our own
types. Rather than maintaining the original type change via hacks to to
continue shrinking module parameters on 32-bit Linux, we implement
support for 64-bit module parameters on Linux.
After doing a review of all 64-bit kernel parameters (found via the man
page and also proposed changes by Andrew Innes), the kernel module
parameters fell into a few groups:
Parameters that were originally 64-bit on Illumos:
* dbuf_cache_max_bytes
* dbuf_metadata_cache_max_bytes
* l2arc_feed_min_ms
* l2arc_feed_secs
* l2arc_headroom
* l2arc_headroom_boost
* l2arc_write_boost
* l2arc_write_max
* metaslab_aliquot
* metaslab_force_ganging
* zfetch_array_rd_sz
* zfs_arc_max
* zfs_arc_meta_limit
* zfs_arc_meta_min
* zfs_arc_min
* zfs_async_block_max_blocks
* zfs_condense_max_obsolete_bytes
* zfs_condense_min_mapping_bytes
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms
* zfs_deadman_synctime_ms
* zfs_initialize_chunk_size
* zfs_initialize_value
* zfs_lua_max_instrlimit
* zfs_lua_max_memlimit
* zil_slog_bulk
Parameters that were originally 32-bit on Illumos:
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
Parameters that were originally `ssize_t` on Illumos:
* zfs_immediate_write_sz
Note that `ssize_t` is `int32_t` on 32-bit and `int64_t` on 64-bit. It
has been upgraded to 64-bit.
Parameters that were `long`/`unsigned long` because of Linux/FreeBSD
influence:
* l2arc_rebuild_blocks_min_l2size
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zfs_max_log_walking
* zfs_max_logsm_summary_length
* zfs_metaslab_max_size_cache_sec
* zfs_min_metaslabs_to_flush
* zfs_multihost_interval
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_max
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_min
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_amt
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_ppm
New parameters that do not exist in Illumos:
* l2arc_trim_ahead
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_sys_free
* zfs_deadman_ziotime_ms
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_history_output_max
* zfs_livelist_max_entries
* zfs_max_async_dedup_frees
* zfs_max_nvlist_src_size
* zfs_rebuild_max_segment
* zfs_rebuild_vdev_limit
* zfs_unflushed_log_txg_max
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
Rather than clutter the lists with commentary, the module parameters
that need comments are repeated below.
A few parameters were defined in Linux/FreeBSD specific code, where the
use of ulong/long is not an issue for portability, so we leave them
alone:
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
The documentation for a few parameters was found to be incorrect:
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_delete_blocks - not documented as Linux only
* zfs_history_output_max - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size - incorrectly documented as long
* zvol_max_discard_blocks - incorrectly documented as ulong
The documentation for these has been fixed, alongside the changes to
document the switch to fixed width types.
In addition, several kernel module parameters were percentages or held
ashift values, so being 64-bit never made sense for them. They have been
downgraded to 32-bit:
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
Of special note are `zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift` and
`zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift`, which were already defined as `uint64_t`,
and passed to the kernel as `ulong`. This is inherently buggy on big
endian 32-bit Linux, since the values would not be written to the
correct locations. 32-bit FreeBSD was unaffected because its sysctl code
correctly treated this as a `uint64_t`.
Lastly, a code comment suggests that `zfs_arc_sys_free` is
Linux-specific, but there is nothing to indicate to me that it is
Linux-specific. Nothing was done about that.

Closes#13984Closes#14004
In #13871, zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit_non_rotating and
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit being signed was pointed out as a possible
reason not to eliminate an unnecessary MAX(unsigned, 0) since the
unsigned value was assigned from them.
There is no reason for these module parameters to be signed and upon
inspection, it was found that there are a number of other module
parameters that are signed, but should not be, so we make them unsigned.
Making them unsigned made it clear that some other variables in the code
should also be unsigned, so we also make those unsigned. This prevents
users from setting negative values that could potentially cause bad
behaviors. It also makes the code slightly easier to understand.
Mostly module parameters that deal with timeouts, limits, bitshifts and
percentages are made unsigned by this. Any that are boolean are left
signed, since whether booleans should be considered signed or unsigned
does not matter.
Making zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent unsigned caused a
`zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent >= 0` check to become redundant, so it was
removed. Removing the check was also necessary to prevent a compiler
error from -Werror=type-limits.
Several end of line comments had to be moved to their own lines because
replacing int with uint_t caused us to exceed the 80 character limit
enforced by cstyle.pl.
The following were kept signed because they are passed to
taskq_create(), which expects signed values and modifying the
OpenSolaris/Illumos DDI is out of scope of this patch:
* metaslab_load_pct
* zfs_sync_taskq_batch_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_nthr_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_minalloc
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_maxalloc
* zfs_arc_prune_task_threads
Also, negative values in those parameters was found to be harmless.
The following were left signed because either negative values make
sense, or more analysis was needed to determine whether negative values
should be disallowed:
* zfs_metaslab_switch_threshold
* zfs_pd_bytes_max
* zfs_livelist_min_percent_shared
zfs_multihost_history was made static to be consistent with other
parameters.
A number of module parameters were marked as signed, but in reality
referenced unsigned variables. upgrade_errlog_limit is one of the
numerous examples. In the case of zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active, it was
already uint32_t, but zdb had an extern int declaration for it.
Interestingly, the documentation in zfs.4 was right for
upgrade_errlog_limit despite the module parameter being wrongly marked,
while the documentation for zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active (and friends)
was wrong. It was also wrong for zstd_abort_size, which was unsigned,
but was documented as signed.
Also, the documentation in zfs.4 incorrectly described the following
parameters as ulong when they were int:
* zfs_arc_meta_adjust_restarts
* zfs_override_estimate_recordsize
They are now uint_t as of this patch and thus the man page has been
updated to describe them as uint.
dbuf_state_index was left alone since it does nothing and perhaps should
be removed in another patch.
If any module parameters were missed, they were not found by `grep -r
'ZFS_MODULE_PARAM' | grep ', INT'`. I did find a few that grep missed,
but only because they were in files that had hits.
This patch intentionally did not attempt to address whether some of
these module parameters should be elevated to 64-bit parameters, because
the length of a long on 32-bit is 32-bit.
Lastly, it was pointed out during review that uint_t is a better match
for these variables than uint32_t because FreeBSD kernel parameter
definitions are designed for uint_t, whose bit width can change in
future memory models. As a result, we change the existing parameters
that are uint32_t to use uint_t.

When a header is allocated for full overwrite it is a waste of time
to allocate b_pabd/b_rabd for it, since arc_write() will free them
without ever being touched. If it is a read or a partial overwrite
then arc_read() and arc_hdr_decrypt() allocate them explicitly.
Reduced memory allocation in user threads also reduces ARC eviction
throttling there, proportionally increasing it in ZIO threads, that
is not good. To minimize or even avoid it introduce ARC allocation
reserve, allowing certain arc_get_data_abd() callers to allocate a
bit longer in situations where user threads will already throttle.

The only place the reclaimable slab size is used is as a component of

amount of memory the ARC considers to be free or reclaimable at little
cost. Rather than switch to a new interface to get this value it has
been removed it from the calculation. It is normally a minor component

Closes#10834
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

`arc_free_memory()` returns the amount of memory that the ARC considers
to be free. This includes pages that are not actually free, but can be
evicted with essentially zero cost (without doing any i/o), for example
the page cache. The ARC can "squeeze out" any pages included in this
calculation, leaving only `arc_sys_free` (1/64th of RAM) for these
free/evictable pages.
Included in the count of free/evictable pages is
`nr_inactive_anon_pages()`, which is described as "Anonymous memory that
has not been used recently and can be swapped out". These pages would
have to be written out to disk (swap) in order to evict them, and they
are not included in `/proc/meminfo`'s `MemAvailable`.
Therefore it is not appropriate for `nr_inactive_anon_pages()` to be
included in the free/evictable memory returned by `arc_free_memory()`,
because the ARC shouldn't (intentionally) make the system swap.
This commit removes `nr_inactive_anon_pages()` from the memory returned
by `arc_free_memory()`. This is a step towards enabling the ARC to
manage free memory by monitoring it and reducing the ARC size as we
notice that there is insufficient free memory (in the `arc_reap_zthr`),
rather than the current method of relying on the `arc_shrinker`
callback.

Therefore, we can simplify the code in the OS-specific ARC and kmem

The SPL provides a wrapper for the kernel's shrinker callbacks, which
enables the ZFS code to interface with multiple versions of the shrinker
API's from different kernel versions. Specifically, Linux kernels 3.0 -
3.11 has a single "combined" callback, and Linux kernels 3.12 and later
have two "split" callbacks. The SPL provides a wrapper function so that
the ZFS code only needs to implement one version of the callbacks.
Currently the SPL's wrappers are designed such that the ZFS code
implements the older, "combined" callback. There are a few downsides to
this approach:
* The general design within ZFS is for the latest Linux kernel to be
considered the "first class" API.
* The newer, "split" callback API is easier to understand, because each
callback has one purpose.
* The current wrappers do not completely abstract out the differing
API's, so ZFS code needs `#ifdef` code to handle the differing return
values required for different kernel versions.
This commit addresses these drawbacks by having the ZFS code provide the
latest, "split" callbacks, and the SPL provides a wrapping function for
the older, "combined" API.

ZFS registers a memory hook, `__arc_shrinker_func`, which is supposed to
allow the ARC to shrink when the kernel experiences memory pressure.
The ARC shrinker changes `arc_c` via a call to

shrinker would also evict data from the ARC to bring `arc_size` down to
the new `arc_c`. However, that commit (seemingly inadvertently) made it
so that the ARC shrinker no longer evicts any data or waits for eviction
to complete.
Repeated calls to the ARC shrinker can reduce `arc_c` drastically, often
all the way to `arc_c_min`. Since it doesn't wait for the actual
eviction of data from the ARC, this creates a situation where `arc_size`
is more than `arc_c` for the several seconds/minutes it takes for
`arc_adjust_zthr` to evict data from the ARC. During this time,
arc_get_data_impl() will block, so ZFS can't process read/write requests
(e.g. from iSCSI, NFS, or read/write syscalls).
To ensure that `arc_c` doesn't shrink faster than the adjust thread can
keep up, this commit makes the ARC shrinker wait for the eviction to
complete, resulting in similar behavior to what we had before commit
3ec34e5527.
Note: commit 3ec34e5527 is `OpenZFS 9284 - arc_reclaim_thread
has 2 jobs` and was integrated in December 2018, and is part of ZoL
0.8.x but not 0.7.x.
Additionally, when the ARC size is reduced drastically, the
`arc_adjust_zthr` can be on-CPU for many seconds without blocking. Any
threads that are bound to the same CPU that arc_adjust_zthr is running
on will not able to run for a long time.
To ensure that CPU-bound threads can make progress, this commit changes
`arc_evict_state_impl()` make a voluntary preemption call,
`cond_resched()`.

Linux changed the default max ARC size to 1/2 of physical memory to
deal with shortcomings of the Linux SLUB allocator. Other platforms
do not require the same logic.
Implement an arc_default_max() function to determine a default max ARC
size in platform code.

Closes#10155
This change modifies some of the infrastructure for enabling the use of
the DTRACE_PROBE* macros, such that we can use tehm in the "spl" module.
Currently, when the DTRACE_PROBE* macros are used, they get expanded to
create new functions, and these dynamically generated functions become
part of the "zfs" module.
Since the "spl" module does not depend on the "zfs" module, the use of
DTRACE_PROBE* in the "spl" module would result in undefined symbols
being used in the "spl" module. Specifically, DTRACE_PROBE* would turn
into a function call, and the function being called would be a symbol
only contained in the "zfs" module; which results in a linker and/or
runtime error.
Thus, this change adds the necessary logic to the "spl" module, to
mirror the tracing functionality available to the "zfs" module. After
this change, we'll have a "trace_zfs.h" header file which defines the
probes available only to the "zfs" module, and a "trace_spl.h" header
file which defines the probes available only to the "spl" module.
