For all module/library functions ensure so stack frame exceeds 1024
bytes. Ideally this should be set lower to say 512 bytes but there
are still numerous functions which exceed even this limit. For now
this is set to 1024 to ensure we catch the worst offenders.
Additionally, set the limit for ztest to 1024 bytes since the idea
here is to catch stack issues in user space before we find them by
overrunning a kernel stack. This should also be reduced to 512
bytes as soon as all the trouble makes are fixed.
Finally, add -fstack-check to gcc build options when --enable-debug
is specified at configure time. This ensures that each page on the
stack will be touched and we will generate a segfault on stack
overflow.
Over time we can gradually fix the following functions:
536 zfs:dsl_deadlist_regenerate
536 zfs:dsl_load_sets
536 zfs:zil_parse
544 zfs:zfs_ioc_recv
552 zfs:dsl_deadlist_insert_bpobj
552 zfs:vdev_dtl_sync
584 zfs:copy_create_perms
608 zfs:ddt_class_contains
608 zfs:ddt_prefetch
608 zfs:__dprintf
616 zfs:ddt_lookup
648 zfs:dsl_scan_ddt
696 zfs:dsl_deadlist_merge
736 zfs:ddt_zap_walk
744 zfs:dsl_prop_get_all_impl
872 zfs:dnode_evict_dbufs
There are 3 fixes in thie commit. First, update ztest_run() to store
the thread id and not the address of the kthread_t. This will be freed
on thread exit and is not safe to use. This is pretty close to how
things were done in the original ztest code before I got there.
Second, for extra paranoia update thread_exit() to return a special
TS_MAGIC value via pthread_exit(). This value is then verified in
pthread_join() to ensure the thread exited cleanly. This can be
done cleanly because the kthread doesn't provide a return code
mechanism we need to worry about.
Third, replace the ztest deadman thread with a signal handler. We
cannot use the previous approach because the correct behavior for
pthreads is to wait for all threads to exit before terminating the
process. Since the deadman thread won't call exit by design we
end up hanging in kernel_exit(). To avoid this we just setup a
SIGALRM signal handle and register a deadman alarm. IMHO this
is simpler and cleaner anyway.
Accidentally dropped the zeroing of this structure in the
gcc-missing-braces topic branch which was causing a fall positive
space leak in ztest. Ensure the structure is zero'ed before use.
This is a portability change which removes the dependence of the Solaris
thread library. All locations where Solaris thread API was used before
have been replaced with equivilant Solaris kernel style thread calls.
In user space the kernel style threading API is implemented in term of
the portable pthreads library. This includes all threads, mutexs,
condition variables, reader/writer locks, and taskqs.
Almost exclusively this patch handled the addition of another char
array to the zfs_cmd_t structure. Unfortunately c90 doesn't allow
zero filling the entire struct with the '= { 0 };' shorthand.
Fix new instances or changes in gcc flagged unused code. These are
mostly related to variables which are not used when debugging is
disabled and the ASSERTs are compiled out.
