This fixes an oops when unloading the modules, in the case where memory
tracking was enabled and there were memory leaks. The comment in the
code explains what was the problem.
* spl-10-fix-assert-verify-ndebug.patch
This fixes ASSERT*() and VERIFY*() macros in non-debug builds. VERIFY*()
macros are supposed to check the condition and panic even in production
builds, and ASSERT*() macros don't need to evaluate the arguments.
Also some 32-bit fixes.

That said when working with a finite resource like memory failure really
is always a possibility. It would be far better longer term if the ZFS
code could be weened off this assumption and properly handle the cases
where an allocation fails. Still I've applied the patch to spl-0.3.4
since this layer is supposed to emulate Solaris as closely as possible.

* spl-07-kmem-cleanup.patch
This moves all the debugging code from sys/kmem.h to spl-kmem.c, because
the huge macros were hard to debug and were bloating functions that
allocated memory. I also fixed some other minor problems, including
32-bit fixes and a reported memory leak which was just due to using the
wrong free function.

spl-05-div64.patch
This is a much less intrusive fix for undefined 64-bit division symbols
when compiling the DMU in 32-bit kernels.

This is a workaround for 32-bit kernels that don't have atomic64_t.

Fixes a deadlock in the BIO completion handler, due to the taskq code

them in the IDE IRQ handler.

to remove this dependency.

at a time as I audit it. This chunk finishes moving the SPL entirely
off the linux slab on to the SPL implementation. It differs slightly
from the proposed version in that the spl continues to export to
all the Solaris types and functions. These do conflict with the
Linux slab so a module usings these interfaces must not include the
SPL slab if they also intend to use the linux slab. Or they must
explcitly #undef the macros which remap the functioin to their
spl_* equivilants.
A nice side of effect of dropping the entire linux slab is we
don't need to autoconf checks anymore. They kept messing with
the slab API endlessly!

based of the spl_kmem_obj_t tacked on the end of each object.
This actually isn't so back because we are now allocing large
chunks for the slab and partitioning it ourselves. So there's
not a ton of wasted space. We may suffer a performance hit
however due to alignment issues.
- Remove remaining depenancies on the linux slab implementation.
We're standing on our own now for better or worse.
- Rework slabs to be either kmem or vmem based. If neither
KMC_VMEM of KMC_KMEM are specified we make a decent guess
about what will work best for their based on the object
size. Additionally we provide a kmem_virt() function caller
can use to see if they have a virtual or physical address.
- Minor fixups in the test suite.

cycle count which was costing me overhead. It was hurting
performance pretty badly for heavily used caches. I'm also
thinking the hash may be hurting me as well and it might
be worth sticking a pointer in to a little space after the
alloced object.

based by vmalloc()'ed memory. I now alloc a slab which is
roughly 32*spl_obj_size and in this block of memory I place
the slab descriptor, slab object descriptors, and objects
themselves. This greatly reduces vmalloc lock contention.
Still some minor cleanup remains and fine tuning but
it's working pretty well.

well for the expected workloads. Improvement in this commit include:
- Added DEBUG_KMEM_TRACKING #define which can optionally be set
when DEBUG_KMEM is defined to do per allocation tracking. This
allows us to get all the lightweight kmem debugging enabled by
default which is pretty light weight, and only when looking
for a memory leak we can briefly enable the per alloc tracking.
- Added set_normalized_timespec() in to SPL to simply using
the timespec() primatives from within a module.
- Added per-spinlock cycle counters to the slab in an attempt
to run down a lock contention issue. The contended lock
was in vmalloc() but I'm going to leave the cycle counters
in place for a little while until I'm convinced there arn't
other locking improvement possible in the slab.
- Added a proc interface to the slab to export per slab
cache statistics to /proc/spl/kmem/slab for analysis.
- Reworked spl_slab_alloc() function to allocate from kmem for
small allocation and vmem for large allocations. This improved
things considerably but futher work is needed.

that part of the code which were catching me. Finally I fixed
a small race in kmem_test8.

factor of 10x improvement on SMP system due to reduced lock contention.
This may put me in the ballpark of what is needed. We can still further
improve things on NUMA systems by creating an additional L3 cache per
memory node instead of the current global pool. With luck this won't
be needed. I should also take another look at the locking now that
everything is working. There's a good chance I can tighten it up a
little bit and improve things a little more.

to be overly clever and the context switch when the semaphore was busy
was destroying performance. Converting to a simple spin lock bough me
a factor of 50 or so. That said it's still not good enough. Tests
show bad performance and we are still CPU bound. The logical fix is
I need to implement per-cpu hot caches to minimize the SMP contention.
Linux and Solaris both have this, I was hoping to do without but it
looks like that's not to be.

a way to easily measure how much the following batch of changes

allocator is highly contended, and interestingly it seems to
get worse in a non-linear fashion... I'm not sure why yet.
I'll figure it out tomorrow.

1) Ensure mutex_init() never fails in the case of ENOMEM by retrying
forever. I don't think I've ever seen this happen but it was clear
after code inspection that if it did we would immediately crash.
2) Enable full debugging in check.sh for sanity tests. Might as well
get as much debug as we can in the case of a failure.
3) Reworked list of kmem caches tracked by SPL in to a hash with the
key based on the address of the kmem_cache_t. This should speed
up the constructor/destructor/shrinker lookup needed now for newer
kernel which removed the destructor support.
4) Updated kmem_cache_create to handle the case where CONFIG_SLUB
is defined. The slub would occasionally merge slab caches which
resulted in non-unique keys for our hash lookup in 3). To fix this
we detect if the slub is enabled and then set the needed flag
to prevent this merging from ever occuring.
5) New kernels removed the proc_dir_entry pointer from items
registered by sysctl. This means we can no long be sneaky and
manually insert things in to the sysctl tree simply by walking
the proc tree. So I'm forced to create a seperate tree for
all the things I can't easily support via sysctl interface.
I don't like it but it will do for now.
