Remove dependency on sharetab file and refactor sharing logic
== Motivation and Context

The current implementation of 'sharenfs' and 'sharesmb' relies on
the use of the sharetab file. The use of this file is os-specific
and not required by linux or freebsd. Currently the code must
maintain updates to this file which adds complexity and presents
a significant performance impact when sharing many datasets. In
addition, concurrently running 'zfs sharenfs' command results in
missing entries in the sharetab file leading to unexpected failures.

== Description

This change removes the sharetab logic from the linux and freebsd
implementation of 'sharenfs' and 'sharesmb'. It still preserves an
os-specific library which contains the logic required for sharing
NFS or SMB. The following entry points exist in the vastly simplified
libshare library:

- sa_enable_share -- shares a dataset but may not commit the change
- sa_disable_share -- unshares a dataset but may not commit the change
- sa_is_shared -- determine if a dataset is shared
- sa_commit_share -- notify NFS/SMB subsystem to commit the shares
- sa_validate_shareopts -- determine if sharing options are valid

The sa_commit_share entry point is provided as a performance enhancement
and is not required. The sa_enable_share/sa_disable_share may commit
the share as part of the implementation. Libshare provides a framework
for both NFS and SMB but some operating systems may not fully support
these protocols or all features of the protocol.

NFS Operation:
For linux, libshare updates /etc/exports.d/zfs.exports to add
and remove shares and then commits the changes by invoking
'exportfs -r'. This file, is automatically read by the kernel NFS
implementation which makes for better integration with the NFS systemd
service. For FreeBSD, libshare updates /etc/zfs/exports to add and
remove shares and then commits the changes by sending a SIGHUP to
mountd.

SMB Operation:
For linux, libshare adds and removes files in /var/lib/samba/usershares
by calling the 'net' command directly. There is no need to commit the
changes. FreeBSD does not support SMB.

== Performance Results

To test sharing performance we created a pool with an increasing number
of datasets and invoked various zfs actions that would enable and
disable sharing. The performance testing was limited to NFS sharing.
The following tests were performed on an 8 vCPU system with 128GB and
a pool comprised of 4 50GB SSDs:

Scale testing:
- Share all filesystems in parallel -- zfs sharenfs=on <dataset> &
- Unshare all filesystems in parallel -- zfs sharenfs=off <dataset> &

Functional testing:
- share each filesystem serially -- zfs share -a
- unshare each filesystem serially -- zfs unshare -a
- reset sharenfs property and unshare -- zfs inherit -r sharenfs <pool>

For 'zfs sharenfs=on' scale testing we saw an average reduction in time
of 89.43% and for 'zfs sharenfs=off' we saw an average reduction in time
of 83.36%.

Functional testing also shows a huge improvement:
- zfs share -- 97.97% reduction in time
- zfs unshare -- 96.47% reduction in time
- zfs inhert -r sharenfs -- 99.01% reduction in time

mount: use the mount syscall directly
Allow zfs datasets to be mounted on Linux without relying on the
invocation of an external processes.  This is the same behavior
which is implemented for FreeBSD.

Use of the libmount library was originally considered because it 
provides functionality to properly lock and update the /etc/mtab 
file.  However, these days /etc/mtab is typically a symlink to 
/proc/self/mounts so there's nothing to updated.  Therefore, we
call mount(2) directly and avoid any additional dependencies. 

If required the legacy behavior can be enabled by setting the 
ZFS_MOUNT_HELPER environment variable.  This may be needed in
environments where SELinux in enabled and the zfs binary does  
not have mount permission.

Jason King c14ca1456e
Support custom URI schemes for the keylocation property
Every platform has their own preferred methods for implementing URI 
schemes beyond the currently supported file scheme (e.g. 'https' on 
FreeBSD would likely use libfetch, while Linux distros and illumos
would probably use libcurl, etc). It would be helpful if libzfs can 
be extended to support additional schemes in a simple manner.

A table of (scheme, handler_function) pairs is added to libzfs_crypto.c, 
and the existing functions in libzfs_crypto.c so that when the key 
format is ZFS_KEYFORMAT_URI, the scheme from the URI string is 
extracted, and a matching handler it located in the aforementioned 
table (returning an error if no matching handler is found). The handler 
function is then invoked to retrieve the key material (in the format 
specified by the keyformat property) and the key is loaded or the 
handler can return an error to abort the key loading process.

Remove deduplicated send/receive code
Deduplicated send streams (i.e. `zfs send -D` and `zfs receive` of such
streams) are deprecated.  Deduplicated send streams can be received by
first converting them to non-deduplicated with the `zstream redup`
command.

This commit removes the code for sending and receiving deduplicated send
streams.  `zfs send -D` will now print a warning, ignore the `-D` flag,
and generate a regular (non-deduplicated) send stream.  `zfs receive` of
a deduplicated send stream will print an error message and fail.

The resulting code simplification (especially in the kernel's support
for receiving dedup streams) should help enable future performance
enhancements.

Several new tests are added which leverage `zstream redup`.

Matthew Ahrens 652bdc9b0e
Deprecate deduplicated send streams
Dedup send can only deduplicate over the set of blocks in the send
command being invoked, and it does not take advantage of the dedup table
to do so. This is a very common misconception among not only users, but
developers, and makes the feature seem more useful than it is. As a
result, many users are using the feature but not getting any benefit
from it.

Dedup send requires a nontrivial expenditure of memory and CPU to
operate, especially if the dataset(s) being sent is (are) not already
using a dedup-strength checksum.

Dedup send adds developer burden. It expands the test matrix when
developing new features, causing bugs in released code, and delaying
development efforts by forcing more testing to be done.

As a result, we are deprecating the use of `zfs send -D` and receiving
of such streams.  This change adds a warning to the man page, and also
prints the warning whenever dedup send or receive are used.

In a future release, we plan to:
1. remove the kernel code for generating deduplicated streams
2. make `zfs send -D` generate regular, non-deduplicated streams
3. remove the kernel code for receiving deduplicated streams
4. make `zfs receive` of deduplicated streams process them in userland
   to "re-duplicate" them, so that they can still be received.

Olaf Faaland 379ca9cf2b Multi-modifier protection (MMP)
Add multihost=on|off pool property to control MMP.  When enabled
a new thread writes uberblocks to the last slot in each label, at a
set frequency, to indicate to other hosts the pool is actively imported.
These uberblocks are the last synced uberblock with an updated
timestamp.  Property defaults to off.

During tryimport, find the "best" uberblock (newest txg and timestamp)
repeatedly, checking for change in the found uberblock.  Include the
results of the activity test in the config returned by tryimport.
These results are reported to user in "zpool import".

Allow the user to control the period between MMP writes, and the
duration of the activity test on import, via a new module parameter
zfs_multihost_interval.  The period is specified in milliseconds.  The
activity test duration is calculated from this value, and from the
mmp_delay in the "best" uberblock found initially.

Add a kstat interface to export statistics about Multiple Modifier
Protection (MMP) updates. Include the last synced txg number, the
timestamp, the delay since the last MMP update, the VDEV GUID, the VDEV
label that received the last MMP update, and the VDEV path.  Abbreviated
output below.

Add a new tunable zfs_multihost_history to specify the number of MMP
updates to store history for. By default it is set to zero meaning that
no MMP statistics are stored.

When using ztest to generate activity, for automated tests of the MMP
function, some test functions interfere with the test.  For example, the
pool is exported to run zdb and then imported again.  Add a new ztest
function, "-M", to alter ztest behavior to prevent this.

Add new tests to verify the new functionality.  Tests provided by
Giuseppe Di Natale.

The refresh_config() calls into the kernel with ZFS_IOC_POOL_TRYIMPORT.
This ioctl returns the config of the pool in a buffer pre-allocated in
userland. The original estimate for the size is too conservative since
it doesn't account for the large size of vdev stats that are added to
the config before returning.
This fix simply increases the size of the buffer passed. This results in
a speed up of the zpool import process, and less spam in zfs_dbgmsg.

Brian Behlendorf ba6a24026c Remove ZFC_IOC_*_MINOR ioctl()s
Early versions of ZFS coordinated the creation and destruction
of device minors from userspace.  This was inherently racy and
in late 2009 these ioctl()s were removed leaving everything up
to the kernel.  This significantly simplified the code.

However, we never picked up these changes in ZoL since we'd
already significantly adjusted this code for Linux.  This patch
aims to rectify that by finally removing ZFC_IOC_*_MINOR ioctl()s
and moving all the functionality down in to the kernel.  Since
this cleanup will change the kernel/user ABI it's being done
in the same tag as the previous libzfs_core ABI changes.  This
will minimize, but not eliminate, the disruption to end users.

Once merged ZoL, Illumos, and FreeBSD will basically be back
in sync in regards to handling ZVOLs in the common code.  While
each platform must have its own custom zvol.c implemenation the
interfaces provided are consistent.

NOTES:

1) This patch introduces one subtle change in behavior which
   could not be easily avoided.  Prior to this change callers
   of 'zfs create -V ...' were guaranteed that upon exit the
   /dev/zvol/ block device link would be created or an error
   returned.  That's no longer the case.  The utilities will no
   longer block waiting for the symlink to be created.  Callers
   are now responsible for blocking, this is why a 'udev_wait'
   call was added to the 'label' function in scripts/common.sh.

2) The read-only behavior of a ZVOL now solely depends on if
   the ZVOL_RDONLY bit is set in zv->zv_flags.  The redundant
   policy setting in the gendisk structure was removed.  This
   both simplifies the code and allows us to safely leverage
   set_disk_ro() to issue a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent.  See the
   comment in the code for futher details on this.

3) Because __zvol_create_minor() and zvol_alloc() may now be
   called in a sync task they must use KM_PUSHPAGE.

Porting notes:

WARNING: This patch changes the user/kernel ABI.  That means that
the zfs/zpool utilities built from master are NOT compatible with
the 0.6.2 kernel modules.  Ensure you load the matching kernel
modules from master after updating the utilities.  Otherwise the
zfs/zpool commands will be unable to interact with your pool and
you will see errors similar to the following:

  $ zpool list
  failed to read pool configuration: bad address
  no pools available

  $ zfs list
  no datasets available

Add zvol minor device creation to the new zfs_snapshot_nvl function.

Remove the logging of the "release" operation in
dsl_dataset_user_release_sync().  The logging caused a null dereference
because ds->ds_dir is zeroed in dsl_dataset_destroy_sync() and the
logging functions try to get the ds name via the dsl_dataset_name()
function. I've got no idea why this particular code would have worked
in Illumos.  This code has subsequently been completely reworked in

This commit modifies the user to kernel space ioctl ABI.  Extra
care should be taken when updating to ensure both the kernel
modules and utilities are updated.  This change has reordered
all of the new ioctl()s to the end of the list.  This should
help minimize this issue in the future.

Brian Behlendorf 6283f55ea1 Support custom build directories and move includes
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory.  The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.

For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently.  This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.

Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution.  When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.

wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z

------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------
<ubuntu system>  <fedora system>  <debian system>  <rhel6 system>
mkdir ubuntu     mkdir fedora     mkdir debian     mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu        cd fedora        cd debian        cd rhel6
../configure     ../configure     ../configure     ../configure
make             make             make             make
make check       make check       make check       make check

This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory.  This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
