For each tunable declaration, we create a zfs_tunable_t with its details, and then a pointer to it in the 'zfs_tunables' ELF section, that we can access later with a little support from the linker.

|
|
* Userspace tunables.
|
|
*
|
|
* Tunables are external pointers to global variables that are wired up to the
|
|
* host environment in some way that allows the operator to directly change
|
|
* their values "under the hood".
|
|
*
|
|
* In userspace, the "host environment" is the program using libzpool.so. So
|
|
* that it can manipulate tunables if it wants, we provide an API to access
|
|
* them.
|
|
*
|
|
* Tunables are declared through the ZFS_MODULE_PARAM* macros, which associate
|
|
* a global variable with some metadata we can use to describe and access the
|
|
* tunable. This is done by creating a uniquely-named zfs_tunable_t.
|
|
*
|
|
* At runtime, we need a way to discover these zfs_tunable_t items. Since they
|
|
* are declared globally, all over the codebase, there's no central place to
|
|
* record or list them. So, we take advantage of the compiler's "linker set"
|
|
* feature.
|
|
*
|
|
* In the ZFS_MODULE_PARAM macro, after we create the zfs_tunable_t, we also
|
|
* create a zfs_tunable_t* pointing to it. That pointer is forced into the
|
|
* "zfs_tunables" ELF section in compiled object. At link time, the linker will
|
|
* collect all these pointers into one single big "zfs_tunable" section, and
|
|
* will generate two new symbols in the final object: __start_zfs_tunable and
|
|
* __stop_zfs_tunable. These point to the first and last item in that section,
|
|
* which allows us to access the pointers in that section like an array, and
|
|
* through those pointers access the tunable metadata, and from there the
|
|
* actual C variable that the tunable describes.
