Problem Statement
=================
ZFS Channel program scripts currently require a timeout, so that hung or
long-running scripts return a timeout error instead of causing ZFS to get
wedged. This limit can currently be set up to 100 million Lua instructions.
Even with a limit in place, it would be desirable to have a sys admin
(support engineer) be able to cancel a script that is taking a long time.
Proposed Solution
=================
Make it possible to abort a channel program by sending an interrupt signal.In
the underlying txg_wait_sync function, switch the cv_wait to a cv_wait_sig to
catch the signal. Once a signal is encountered, the dsl_sync_task function can
install a Lua hook that will get called before the Lua interpreter executes a
new line of code. The dsl_sync_task can resume with a standard txg_wait_sync
call and wait for the txg to complete. Meanwhile, the hook will abort the
script and indicate that the channel program was canceled. The kernel returns
a EINTR to indicate that the channel program run was canceled.
Porting notes: Added missing return value from cv_wait_sig()

This patch adds tunables for modifying the maximum memory limit and
maximum instruction limit that can be specified when running a channel
program.

We want to be able to run channel programs outside of synching
context. This would greatly improve performance for channel programs
that just gather information, as they won't have to wait for synching
context anymore.
=== What is implemented?
This feature introduces the following:
- A new command line flag in "zfs program" to specify our intention
to run in open context. (The -n option)
- A new flag/option within the channel program ioctl which selects
the context.
- Appropriate error handling whenever we try a channel program in
open-context that contains zfs.sync* expressions.
- Documentation for the new feature in the manual pages.
=== How do we handle zfs.sync functions in open context?
When such a function is found by the interpreter and we are running
in open context we abort the script and we spit out a descriptive
runtime error. For example, given the script below ...
arg = ...
fs = arg["argv"][1]
err = zfs.sync.destroy(fs)
msg = "destroying " .. fs .. " err=" .. err
return msg
if we run it in open context, we will get back the following error:
Channel program execution failed:
[string "channel program"]:3: running functions from the zfs.sync
submodule requires passing sync=TRUE to lzc_channel_program()
(i.e. do not specify the "-n" command line argument)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'destroy'
[string "channel program"]:3: in main chunk
=== What about testing?
We've introduced new wrappers for all channel program tests that
run each channel program as both (startard & open-context) and
expect the appropriate behavior depending on the program using
the zfs.sync module.

ZFS channel programs should be able to create snapshots.
In addition to the base snapshot functionality, this entails extra
logic to handle edge cases which were formerly not possible, such as
creating then destroying a snapshot in the same transaction sync.

Porting Notes:
* The CLI long option arguments for '-t' and '-m' don't parse on linux
* Switched from kmem_alloc to vmem_alloc in zcp_lua_alloc
* Lua implementation is built as its own module (zlua.ko)
* Lua headers consumed directly by zfs code moved to 'include/sys/lua/'
* There is no native setjmp/longjump available in stock Linux kernel.
Brought over implementations from illumos and FreeBSD
* The get_temporary_prop() was adapted due to VFS platform differences
* Use of inline functions in lua parser to reduce stack usage per C call
* Skip some ZFS Test Suite ZCP tests on sparc64 to avoid stack overflow
