Closes#2848
Installing outside of the prefix is not permissible under Gentoo Prefix.
The package manager will cause the installation process to fail if/when
it sees this. We could handle this by disabling systemd support on
prefix because systemd does not check these paths, but the Gentoo
Council decided that small files such as these should be installed.
That means disabling systemd support on prefix is not an acceptable
workaround. As a consequence, we need some way of control the directory
into which these files are installed.
Making this configurable increases our compliance with the
freedesktop.org specification, which allows these files to be installed
into /etc/modules-load.d:

From day one the various ZFS libraries should have been placed in their
own sub-packages. Primarily this allows for multiple major versions of
the libraries to be concurrently installed. It also facilitates a
smaller build environment by minimizing the required dependencies.
The specific changes required to split the libraries from the utilities
are as follows:
* libzpool2, libnvpair1, libuutil1, and libzfs2 packages were added
and contain the versioned shared libraries. The Fedora packaging
guidelines discourage providing static libraries so they are not
included in the packages.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries
* The zfs-devel package was renamed libzfs2-devel and the new package
obsoletes the old zfs-devel package. This package includes all
the required headers for the libzpool2, libnvpair1, libuutil1, and
libzfs2 libraries and their respective unversioned shared libraries.
This package should eventually be split in to individual lib*-devel
packages but it will still take some work to cleanly separate them.
Therefore the libzfs2-devel package provides the expected lib*-devel
packages so the all proper dependencies can still be created.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages
* Moved '/sbin/ldconfig' execution from the zfs packge to each of the
new library packages as described by the packaging guidelines.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Shared_Libraries
* The /usr/share/doc/ files were moved in to the libzfs2-devel package.
* Updated config/deb.am to be aware of the packaging changes. This
ensures that 'deb-utils' make target converts all the resulting
packages generated by the 'rpm-utils' target.

zed supports a '-M' cmdline opt to lock all pages in memory via
mlockall(). The _POSIX_MEMLOCK define is checked to determine whether
this function is supported. The current test assumes mlockall()
is supported if _POSIX_MEMLOCK is non-zero. However, this test is
insufficient according to mlock(2) and sysconf(3). If _POSIX_MEMLOCK
is -1, mlockall() is not supported; but if _POSIX_MEMLOCK is 0,
availability must be checked at runtime.
This commit adds an autoconf check for mlockall() to user.m4. The zed
code block for mlockall() is now guarded with a test for HAVE_MLOCKALL.
If defined, mlockall() will be called and its runtime availability
checked via its return value.

Add macro definitions to AM_CPPFLAGS to propagate makefile installation

A corollary is that you should not use these variables except
in makefiles. For instance, instead of trying to evaluate
datadir in configure and hard-coding it in makefiles using e.g.,
'AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([DATADIR], ["$datadir"], [Data directory.])',
you should add -DDATADIR='$(datadir)' to your makefile's definition
of CPPFLAGS (AM_CPPFLAGS if you are also using Automake).
The runstatedir directory is for "installing data files which the
programs modify while they run, that pertain to one specific machine,
and which need not persist longer than the execution of the program".

GCC >+ 4.8's aggressive loop optimization breaks some of the iterators
over the dn_blkptr[] pseudo-array in dnode_phys. Since dn_blkptr[] is
defined as a single-element array, GCC believes an iterator can only
access index 0 and will unroll the loop into a single iteration.
One way to resolve the issue would be to cast the array to a pointer
and fix all the iterators that might break. The only loop where it
is known to cause a problem is this loop in dmu_objset_write_ready():
for (i = 0; i < dnp->dn_nblkptr; i++)
bp->blk_fill += dnp->dn_blkptr[i].blk_fill;
In the common case where dn_nblkptr is 3, the loop is only executed a
single time and "i" is equal to 1 following the loop.
The specific breakage caused by this problem is that the blk_fill of
root block pointers wouldn't be set properly when more than one blkptr
is in use (when no indrect blocks are needed).
The simple reproducing sequence is:
zpool create tank /tank.img
zdb -ddddd tank 0
Notice that "fill=31", however, there are two L0 indirect blocks with
"F=31" and "F=5". The fill count should be 36 rather than 31. This
problem causes an assert to be hit in a simple "zdb tank" when built
with --enable-debug.
However, this approach was not taken because we need to be absolutely
sure we catch all instances of this unwanted optimization. Therefore,
the build system has been updated to detect if GCC supports the
aggressive loop optimization. If it does the optimization will be
explicitly disabled using the -fno-aggressive-loop-optimization option.

Four new dataset properties have been added to support SELinux. They
are 'context', 'fscontext', 'defcontext' and 'rootcontext' which map
directly to the context options described in mount(8). When one of
these properties is set to something other than 'none'. That string
will be passed verbatim as a mount option for the given context when
the filesystem is mounted.
For example, if you wanted the rootcontext for a filesystem to be set
to 'system_u:object_r:fs_t' you would set the property as follows:
$ zfs set rootcontext="system_u:object_r:fs_t" storage-pool/media
This will ensure the filesystem is automatically mounted with that
rootcontext. It is equivalent to manually specifying the rootcontext
with the -o option like this:
$ zfs mount -o rootcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t storage-pool/media
By default all four contexts are set to 'none'. Further information
on SELinux contexts is detailed in mount(8) and selinux(8) man pages.

This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr
which is common practice for many Linux file systems. Since the
Posix ACL is stored as an xattr it will not overwrite any existing
ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs which may have been set. The Posix ACL will also
be non-functional on other platforms although it may be visible
as an xattr if that platform understands SA based xattrs.
By default Posix ACLs are disabled but they may be enabled with
the new 'aclmode=noacl|posixacl' property. Set the property to
'posixacl' to enable them. If ZFS/NFSv4 ACL support is ever added
an appropriate acltype will be added.
This change passes the POSIX Test Suite cleanly with the exception
of xacl/00.t test 45 which is incorrect for Linux (Ext4 fails too).

First, we fix the libblkid autotools check to do a few things:
1. Make a 64MB file, which is the minimum size ZFS permits.
2. Make 4 fake uberblock entries to make libblkid's check succeed.
3. Return 0 upon success to make autotools use the success case.
4. Include stdlib.h to avoid implicit declration of free().
5. Check for "zfs_member", not "zfs"
6. Make --with-blkid disable autotools check (avoids Gentoo sandbox violation)
7. Pass '-lblkid' correctly using LIBS not LDFLAGS.
Second, we change the libblkid support to scan for "zfs_member", not
"zfs".

Commit torvalds/linux@2233f31aad
replaced ->readdir() with ->iterate() in struct file_operations.
All filesystems must now use the new ->iterate method.
To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate
interface. Care was taken to keep the majority of changes
confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific.
However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir()
function.
Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding
versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions. Also the
various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers
which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new
*_iterate() functions.
Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from
passing a private pointer to the filldir function. The xattr
directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir()
to generate the list of xattr names. Since we can no longer
use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function
was added to perform the same task.

Issue #1591
The iterate_supers_type() function which was introduced in the
3.0 kernel was supposed to provide a safe way to call an arbitrary
function on all super blocks of a specific type. Unfortunately,
because a list_head was used a bug was introduced which made it
possible for iterate_supers_type() to get stuck spinning on a
super block which was just deactivated.
This can occur because when the list head is removed from the
fs_supers list it is reinitialized to point to itself. If the
iterate_supers_type() function happened to be processing the
removed list_head it will get stuck spinning on that list_head.
The bug was fixed in the 3.3 kernel by converting the list_head
to an hlist_node. However, to resolve the issue for existing
3.0 - 3.2 kernels we detect when a list_head is used. Then to
prevent the spinning from occurring the .next pointer is set to
the fs_supers list_head which ensures the iterate_supers_type()
function will always terminate.

* The object directory contains the file 'spl_config.h'
* The following paths will be checked. Notice the /var/lib/

PaX/GrSecurity patched kernels implement a dialect of C that relies on a
GCC plugin for enforcement. A basic idea in this dialect is that
function pointers in structures should not change during runtime.
This causes code that modifies function pointers at runtime to fail to
compile in many instances. The autotools checks rely on whether or
not small test cases compile against a given kernel. Some
autotools checks assume some default case if other cases fail. When one
of these autotools checks tests a PaX/GrSecurity patched kernel by
modifying a function pointer at runtime, the default case will be used.
Early detection of such situations is possible by relying on compiler
warnings, which are compiler errors when --enable-debug is used.
Unfortunately, very few people build ZFS with --enable-debug. The more
common situation is that these issues manifest themselves as runtime
failures in the form of NULL pointer exceptions.
Previous patches that addressed such issues with PaX/GrSecurity
compatibility largely relied on rewriting autotools checks to avoid
runtime function pointer modification or the addition of PaX/GrSecurity
specific checks. This patch takes the previous work to its logical
conclusion by eliminating the use of runtime function pointer
modification. This permits the removal of PaX-specific autotools checks
in favor of ones that work across all supported kernels.
This should resolve issues that were reported to occur with
PaX/GrSecurity-patched Linux 3.7.5 kernels on Gentoo Linux.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457176
We should be able to prevent future regressions in PaX/GrSecurity
compatibility by ensuring that all changes to ZFSOnLinux avoid runtime
function pointer modification. At the same time, this does not solve the
issue of silent failures triggering default cases in the autotools
check, which is what permitted these regressions to become runtime
failures in the first place. This will need to be addressed in a future
patch.

Closes#1300
To determine whether the kernel is capable of handling empty barrier
BIOs, we check for the presence of the bio_empty_barrier() macro,
which was introduced in 2.6.24. If this macro is defined, then we can
flush disk vdevs; if it isn't, then flushing is disabled.
Unfortunately, the bio_empty_barrier() macro was removed in 2.6.37,
even though the kernel is still capable of handling empty barrier BIOs.
As a result, flushing is effectively disabled on kernels >= 2.6.37,
meaning that starting from this kernel version, zfs doesn't use
barriers to guarantee on-disk data consistency. This is quite bad and
can lead to potential data corruption on power failures.
This patch fixes the issue by removing the configure check for
bio_empty_barrier(), as we don't support kernels <= 2.6.24 anymore.
Thanks to Richard Kojedzinszky for catching this nasty bug.

As a matter of fact, we're already using -Werror for most tests because
of a bug in kernel-bio-empty-barrier.m4 which sets -Werror without
reverting it afterwards. This meant that all tests which ran after this
one was using -Werror.
This patch simply makes it clear that we're using -Werror and makes
the code more readable and more predictable.
