Brian Behlendorf 5c03efc379 Linux compat 2.6.39: security_inode_init_security()
The security_inode_init_security() function now takes an additional
qstr argument which must be passed in from the dentry if available.
Passing a NULL is safe when no qstr is available the relevant
security checks will just be skipped.

Brian Behlendorf bd2f5ac97f Avoid 'rpm -q' bug for 'make pkg'
RPM version 4.9.0 has been observed to generate extra debug
messages in certain cases.  These debug messages prevent us
from cleanly acquiring the architecture.  This is clearly
an upstream RPM bug which will get fixed.  But until then
a safe solution is to pipe the result through 'tail -1'
to just grab the architecture bit we care about.

Example 'rpm -qp spl-0.6.0-rc4.src.rpm --qf %{arch}' output:

Freeing read locks for locker 0x166: 28031/47480843735008

Prasad Joshi b312979252 Tear down and flush the mmap region
The inode eviction should unmap the pages associated with the inode.
These pages should also be flushed to disk to avoid the data loss.
Therefore, use truncate_setsize() in evict_inode() to release the
pagecache.

The API truncate_setsize() was added in 2.6.35 kernel. To ensure
compatibility with the old kernel, the patch defines its own
truncate_setsize function.

Brian Behlendorf 86fd39f354 Linux 2.6.39 compat, mutex owner
Prior to Linux 2.6.39 when CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES was defined
the kernel stored a thread_info pointer as the mutex owner.
From this you could get the pointer of the current task_struct
to compare with get_current().

As of Linux 2.6.39 this behavior has changed and now the mutex
stores a pointer to the task_struct.  This commit detects the
type of pointer stored in the mutex and adjusts the mutex_owner()
and mutex_owned() functions to perform the correct comparision.

Brian Behlendorf a55bcaad18 Linux 3.0: Shrinker compatibility
Update the the wrapper macros for the memory shrinker to handle
this 4th API change.  The callback function now takes a
shrink_control structure.  This is certainly a step in the
right direction but it's annoying to have to accomidate yet
another version of the API.

Brian Behlendorf 2e08aedba4 Always check -Wno-unused-but-set-variable gcc support
The previous commit 8a7e1ceefa wasn't
quite right.  This check applies to both the user and kernel space
build and as such we must make sure it runs regardless of what
the --with-config option is set too.

For example, if --with-config=kernel then the autoconf test does
not run and we generate build warnings when compiling the kernel
packages.

Brian Behlendorf 8a7e1ceefa Check for -Wno-unused-but-set-variable gcc support
Gcc versions 4.3.2 and earlier do not support the compiler flag
-Wno-unused-but-set-variable.  This can lead to build failures
on older Linux platforms such as Debian Lenny.  Since this is
an optional build argument this changes add a new autoconf check
for the option.  If it is supported by the installed version of
gcc then it is used otherwise it is omited.

See commit's 12c1acde76 and
79713039a2 for the reason the
-Wno-unused-but-set-variable options was originally added.

Brian Behlendorf df554c148e Fix 'zfs set volsize=N pool/dataset'
This change fixes a kernel panic which would occur when resizing
a dataset which was not open.  The objset_t stored in the
zvol_state_t will be set to NULL when the block device is closed.
To avoid this issue we pass the correct objset_t as the third arg.

The code has also been updated to correctly notify the kernel
when the block device capacity changes.  For 2.6.28 and newer
kernels the capacity change will be immediately detected.  For
earlier kernels the capacity change will be detected when the
device is next opened.  This is a known limitation of older
kernels.

Online ext3 resize test case passes on 2.6.28+ kernels:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zvol bs=1M count=1 seek=1023
$ zpool create tank /tmp/zvol
$ zfs create -V 500M tank/zd0
$ mkfs.ext3 /dev/zd0
$ mkdir /mnt/zd0
$ mount /dev/zd0 /mnt/zd0

Darik Horn ad35b6a6e9 Remove the gawk dependency.
This reverts commit 1814251453.

Demote the gawk call back to awk and ensure that stderr is attached.  GNU gawk
tolerates a missing stderr handle, but many utilities do not, which could be
why a regular awk call was unexplainably failing on some systems.

Use argv[0] instead of sh_path for consistency internally and with other Linux

Brian Behlendorf 3dfc591ac4 Linux 2.6.39 compat, zlib_deflate_workspacesize()
The function zlib_deflate_workspacesize() now take 2 arguments.
This was done to avoid always having to allocate the maximum size
workspace (268K).  The caller can now specific the windowBits and
memLevel compression parameters to get a smaller workspace.

For our purposes we introduce a spl_zlib_deflate_workspacesize()
wrapper which accepts both arguments.  When the two argument
version of zlib_deflate_workspacesize() is available the arguments
are passed through.  When it's not we assume the worst case and
a maximally sized workspace is used.

Brian Behlendorf 12c1acde76 Set -Wno-unused-but-set-variable globally
As of gcc-4.6 the option -Wunused-but-set-variable is enabled by
default.  While this is a useful warning there are numerous places
in the ZFS code when a variable is set and then only checked in an
ASSERT().  To avoid having to update every instance of this in the
code we now set -Wno-unused-but-set-variable to suppress the warning.

Additionally, when building with --enable-debug and -Werror set these
warning also become fatal.  We can reevaluate the suppression of these
error at a later time if it becomes an issue.  For now we are basically
just reverting to the previous gcc behavior.

Brian Behlendorf 79713039a2 Fix gcc configure warnings
Newer versions of gcc are getting smart enough to detect the sloppy
syntax used for the autoconf tests.  It is now generating warnings
for unused/undeclared variables.  Newer version of gcc even have
the -Wunused-but-set-variable option set by default.  This isn't a
problem except when -Werror is set and they get promoted to an error.
In this case the autoconf test will return an incorrect result which
will result in a build failure latter on.

To handle this I'm tightening up many of the autoconf tests to
explicitly mark variables as unused to suppress the gcc warning.
Remember, all of the autoconf code can never actually be run we
just want to get a clean build error to detect which APIs are
available.  Never using a variable is absolutely fine for this.

Provide the dnlc_reduce_cache() function which attempts to prune
cached entries from the dcache and icache.  After the entries are
pruned any slabs which they may have been using are reaped.

Note the API takes a reclaim percentage but we don't have easy
access to the total number of cache entries to calculate the
reclaim count.  However, in practice this doesn't need to be
exactly correct.  We simply need to reclaim some useful fraction
(but not all) of the cache.  The caller can determine if more
needs to be done.

Manuel Amador (Rudd-O) ae26d0465a Add dracut support
To simplify the process of using zfs as your root filesystem a
zfs-drucat sub-package has been added.  This sub-package adds a zfs
dracut module which allows your initramfs to be rebuilt with zfs
support.  The process for doing this is still complicated but there
is clearly interest from the community about getting this working
well and documented.  This should help lay some of the groundwork.

Longer term these changes should be pushed in the upstream dracut
package.  Once that occurs this subpackage will no longer be
required for new systems, however we may want to conditionally
build this package in the future for systems running older
dracut versions.

Brian Behlendorf 01c0e61da0 Add init scripts
To support automatically mounting your zfs on filesystem on boot
a basic init script is needed.  Unfortunately, every distribution
has their own idea of the _right_ way to do things.  Rather than
write one very complicated portable init script, which would be
invariably replaced by the distributions own anyway.  I have
instead added support to provide multiple distribution specific
init scripts.

The correct init script for your distribution will be selected
by ZFS_AC_DEFAULT_PACKAGE which will set DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT.
During 'make install' the correct script for your system will
be installed from zfs/etc/init.d/zfs.DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT to the
usual /etc/init.d/zfs location.

Currently, there is zfs.fedora and a more generic zfs.lsb init
script.  Hopefully, the distribution maintainers who know best
how they want their init scripts to function will feedback their
approved versions to be included in the project.

This change does not consider upstart jobs but I'm not at all
opposed to add that sort of thing.

Brian Behlendorf 914b063133 Linux compat 2.6.37, invalidate_inodes()
In the 2.6.37 kernel the function invalidate_inodes() is no longer
exported for use by modules.  This memory management functionality
is needed to invalidate the inodes attached to a super block without
unmounting the filesystem.

Because this function still exists in the kernel and the prototype
is available is a common header all we strictly need is the symbol
address.  The address is obtained using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
and assigned to the variable invalidate_inodes_fn.  Then a #define
is used to replace all instances of invalidate_inodes() with a
call to the acquired address.  All the complexity is hidden behind
HAVE_INVALIDATE_INODES and invalidate_inodes() can be used as usual.

Long term we should try to get this, or another, interface made
available to modules again.

Brian Behlendorf c5d915f423 Minimal libshare infrastructure
ZFS even under Solaris does not strictly require libshare to be
available.  The current implementation attempts to dlopen() the
library to access the needed symbols.  If this fails libshare
support is simply disabled.

This means that on Linux we only need the most minimal libshare
implementation.  In fact just enough to prevent the build from
failing.  Longer term we can decide if we want to implement a
libshare library like Solaris.  At best this would be an abstraction
layer between ZFS and NFS/SMB.  Alternately, we can drop libshare
entirely and directly integrate ZFS with Linux's NFS/SMB.

Finally the bare bones user-libshare.m4 test was dropped.  If we
do decide to implement libshare at some point it will surely be
as part of this package so the check is not needed.

Brian Behlendorf b3259b6a2b Autoconf selinux support
If libselinux is detected on your system at configure time link
against it.  This allows us to use a library call to detect if
selinux is enabled and if it is to pass the mount option:

  "context=\"system_u:object_r:file_t:s0"

For now this is required because none of the existing selinux
policies are aware of the zfs filesystem type.  Because of this
they do not properly enable xattr based labeling even though
zfs supports all of the required hooks.

Until distro's add zfs as a known xattr friendly fs type we
must use mntpoint labeling.  Alternately, end users could modify
their existing selinux policy with a little guidance.

Brian Behlendorf 675de5aa37 Linux 2.6.36 compat, synchronous bio flag
The name of the flag used to mark a bio as synchronous has changed
again in the 2.6.36 kernel due to the unification of the BIO_RW_*
and REQ_* flags.  The new flag is called REQ_SYNC.  To simplify
checking this flag I have introduced the vdev_disk_dio_is_sync()
helper function.  Based on the results of several new autoconf
tests it uses the correct mask to check for a synchronous bio.

Preferred interface for flagging a synchronous bio:
  2.6.12-2.6.29: BIO_RW_SYNC
  2.6.30-2.6.35: BIO_RW_SYNCIO
  2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_SYNC

Brian Behlendorf f4af6bb783 Linux 2.6.36 compat, use REQ_FAILFAST_MASK
As of linux-2.6.36 the BIO_RW_FAILFAST and REQ_FAILFAST flags
have been unified under the REQ_* names.  These flags always had
to be kept in-sync so this is a nice step forward, unfortunately
it means we need to be careful to only use the new unified flags
when the BIO_RW_* flags are not defined.  Additional autoconf
checks were added for this and if it is ever unclear which method
to use no flags are set.  This is safe but may result in longer
delays before a disk is failed.

Perferred interface for setting FAILFAST on a bio:
  2.6.12-2.6.27: BIO_RW_FAILFAST
  2.6.28-2.6.35: BIO_RW_FAILFAST_{DEV|TRANSPORT|DRIVER}
  2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_FAILFAST_{DEV|TRANSPORT|DRIVER}

In the linux-2.6.36 kernel the fs_struct lock was changed from a
rwlock_t to a spinlock_t.  If the kernel would export the set_fs_pwd()
symbol by default this would not have caused us any issues, but they
don't.  So we're forced to add a new autoconf check which sets the
HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK define when a spinlock_t is used.  We can
then correctly use either spin_lock or write_lock in our custom
set_fs_pwd() implementation.

Brian Behlendorf 23aa63cbf5 Fix 2.6.35 shrinker callback API change
As of linux-2.6.35 the shrinker callback API now takes an additional
argument.  The shrinker struct is passed to the callback so that users
can embed the shrinker structure in private data and use container_of()
to access it.  This removes the need to always use global state for the
shrinker.

To handle this we add the SPL_AC_3ARGS_SHRINKER_CALLBACK autoconf
check to properly detect the API.  Then we simply setup a callback
function with the correct number of arguments.  For now we do not make
use of the new 3rd argument.

Brian Behlendorf 2959d94a0a Add FAILFAST support
ZFS works best when it is notified as soon as possible when a device
failure occurs.  This allows it to immediately start any recovery
actions which may be needed.  In theory Linux supports a flag which
can be set on bio's called FAILFAST which provides this quick
notification by disabling the retry logic in the lower scsi layers.

That's the theory at least.  In practice is turns out that while the
flag exists you oddly have to set it with the BIO_RW_AHEAD flag.
And even when it's set it you may get retries in the low level
drivers decides that's the right behavior, or if you don't get the
right error codes reported to the scsi midlayer.

Unfortunately, without additional kernels patchs there's not much
which can be done to improve this.  Basically, this just means that
it may take 2-3 minutes before a ZFS is notified properly that a
device has failed.  This can be improved and I suspect I'll be
submitting patches upstream to handle this.

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

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.

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.

Brian Behlendorf a7958f7eef Support custom build directories
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.

Ned Bass 46aa7b3939 Correctly handle rwsem_is_locked() behavior
A race condition in rwsem_is_locked() was fixed in Linux 2.6.33 and the fix was
backported to RHEL5 as of kernel 2.6.18-190.el5.  Details can be found here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526092

The race condition was fixed in the kernel by acquiring the semaphore's
wait_lock inside rwsem_is_locked().  The SPL worked around the race condition
by acquiring the wait_lock before calling that function, but with the fix in
place it must not do that.

This commit implements an autoconf test to detect whether the fixed version of
rwsem_is_locked() is present.  The previous version of rwsem_is_locked() was an
inline static function while the new version is exported as a symbol which we
can check for in module.symvers.  Depending on the result we correctly
implement the needed compatibility macros for proper spinlock handling.

Finally, we do the right thing with spin locks in RW_*_HELD() by using the
new compatibility macros.  We only only acquire the semaphore's wait_lock if
it is calling a rwsem_is_locked() that does not itself try to acquire the lock.

Some new overhead and a small harmless race is introduced by this change.
This is because RW_READ_HELD() and RW_WRITE_HELD() now acquire and release
the wait_lock twice: once for the call to rwsem_is_locked() and once for
the call to rw_owner().  This can't be avoided if calling a rwsem_is_locked()
that takes the wait_lock, as it will in more recent kernels.

The other case which only occurs in legacy kernels could be optimized by
taking the lock only once, as was done prior to this commit.  However, I
decided that the performance gain probably wasn't significant enough to
justify the messy special cases required.

The function spl_rw_get_owner() was only used to enable the afore-mentioned
optimization.  Since it is no longer used, I removed it.

Ned Bass 5ec44a37c3 Correctly detect atomic64_cmpxchg support
The RHEL5 2.6.18-194.7.1.el5 kernel added atomic64_cmpxchg to
asm-x86_64/atomic.h.  That macro is defined in terms of cmpxchg which
is provided by asm/system.h. However, asm/system.h is not #included by
atomic.h in this kernel nor by the autoconf test for atomic64_cmpxchg, so
the test failed with "implicit declaration of function 'cmpxchg'". This
leads the build system to erroneously conclude that the kernel does not
define atomic64_cmpxchg and enable the built-in definition.  This in
turn produces a '"atomic64_cmpxchg" redefined' build warning which is fatal
when building with --enable-debug.  This commit fixes this by including
asm/system.h in the autoconf test.

Brian Behlendorf 287b2fb117 Add Debian and Slackware style packaging via alien
The long term fix for Debian and Slackware style packaging is
to add native support for building these packages.  Unfortunately,
that is a large chunk of work I don't have time for right now.
That said it would be nice to have at least basic packages for
these distributions.

As a quick short/medium term solution I've settled on using alien
to convert the RPM packages to DEB or TGZ style packages.  The
build system has been updated with the following build targets
which will first build RPM packages and then convert them as
needed to the target package type:

  make rpm: Create .rpm packages
  make deb: Create .deb packages
  make tgz: Create .tgz packages
  make pkg: Create the right package type for your distribution

The solution comes with lot of caveats and your mileage may vary.
But basically the big limitations are that the resulting packages:

  1) Will not have the correct dependency information.
  2) Will not not include the kernel version in the release.
  3) Will not handle all differences between distributions.

But the resulting packages should be easy to install and remove
from your system and take care of running 'depmod -a' and such.
As I said at the top this is not the right long term solution.
If any of the upstream distribution maintainers want to jump in
and help do this right for their distribution I'd love the help.

Brian Behlendorf a4bfd8ea1b Add __divdi3(), remove __udivdi3() kernel dependency
Up until now no SPL consumer attempted to perform signed 64-bit
division so there was no need to support this.  That has now
changed so I adding 64-bit division support for 32-bit platforms.
The signed implementation is based on the unsigned version.

Since the have been several bug reports in the past concerning
correct 64-bit division on 32-bit platforms I added some long
over due regression tests.  Much to my surprise the unsigned
64-bit division regression tests failed.

This was surprising because __udivdi3() was implemented by simply
calling div64_u64() which is provided by the kernel.  This meant
that the linux kernels 64-bit division algorithm on 32-bit platforms
was flawed.  After some investigation this turned out to be exactly
the case.

Because of this I was forced to abandon the kernel helper and
instead to fully implement 64-bit division in the spl.  There are
several published implementation out there on how to do this
properly and I settled on one proposed in the book Hacker's Delight.
Their proposed algoritm is freely available without restriction
and I have just modified it to be linux kernel friendly.

The update implementation now passed all the unsigned and signed
regression tests.  This should be functional, but not fast, which is
good enough for out purposes.  If you want fast too I'd strongly
suggest you upgrade to a 64-bit platform.  I have also reported the
kernel bug and we'll see if we can't get it fixed up stream.

together but in fact user_path_dir() was introduced in 2.6.27 and
set_fs_pwd() taking 2 args was introduced in 2.6.25.  This means
builds against 2.6.25-2.6.26 kernels were broken.

To fix this I've added a check for user_path_dir() and no longer
assume that if set_fs_pwd() takes 2 args then user_path_dir() is

Brian Behlendorf 16b719f006 Allow spl_config.h to be included by dependant packages (updated)
We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h to
build properly.  This was partially solved in commit 0cbaeb1 by using
AH_BOTTOM to #undef common #defines (PACKAGE, VERSION, etc) which
autoconf always adds and cannot be easily removed.  This solution
works as long as the spl_config.h is included before your projects
config.h.  That turns out to be easier said than done.  In particular,
this is a problem when your package includes its config.h using the
-include gcc option which ensures the first thing included is your
config.h.

To handle all cases cleanly I have removed the AH_BOTTOM hack and
replaced it with an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS command.  This command runs
immediately after spl_config.h is written and with a little awk-foo
it strips the offending #defines from the file.  This eliminates
the problem entirely and makes header safe for inclusion.

Also in this change I have removed the few places in the code where
spl_config.h is included.  It is now added to the gcc compile line
to ensure the config results are always available.

Finally, I have also disabled the verbose kernel builds.  If you
want them back you can always build with 'make V=1'.  Since things
are working now they don't need to be on by default.

Brian Behlendorf d04c8a563c Atomic64 compatibility for 32-bit systems without kernel support.
This patch is another step towards updating the code to handle the
32-bit kernels which I have not been regularly testing.  This changes
do not really impact the common case I'm expected which is the latest
kernel running on an x86_64 arch.

Until the linux-2.6.31 kernel the x86 arch did not have support for
64-bit atomic operations.  Additionally, the new atomic_compat.h support
for this case was wrong because it embedded a spinlock in the atomic
variable which must always and only be 64-bits total.  To handle these
32-bit issues we now simply fall back to the --enable-atomic-spinlock
implementation if the kernel does not provide the 64-bit atomic funcs.

The second issue this patch addresses is the DEBUG_KMEM assumption that
there will always be atomic64 funcs available.  On 32-bit archs this may
not be true, and actually that's just fine.  In that case the kernel will
will never be able to allocate more the 32-bits worth anyway.  So just
check if atomic64 funcs are available, if they are not it means this
is a 32-bit machine and we can safely use atomic_t's instead.

Brian Behlendorf 055ffd98cf Autoconf --enable-debug-* cleanup
Cleanup the --enable-debug-* configure options, this has been pending
for quite some time and I am glad I finally got to it.  To summerize:

1) All SPL_AC_DEBUG_* macros were updated to be a more autoconf
friendly.  This mainly involved shift to the GNU approved usage of
AC_ARG_ENABLE and ensuring AS_IF is used rather than directly using
an if [ test ] construct.

2) --enable-debug-kmem=yes by default.  This simply enabled keeping
a running tally of total memory allocated and freed and reporting a
memory leak if there was one at module unload.  Additionally, it
ensure /proc/spl/kmem/slab will exist by default which is handy.
The overhead is low for this and it should not impact performance.

3) --enable-debug-kmem-tracking=no by default.  This option was added
to provide a configure option to enable to detailed memory allocation
tracking.  This support was always there but you had to know where to
turn it on.  By default this support is disabled because it is known
to badly hurt performence, however it is invaluable when chasing a
memory leak.

4) --enable-debug-kstat removed.  After further reflection I can't see
why you would ever really want to turn this support off.  It is now
always on which had the nice side effect of simplifying the proc handling
code in spl-proc.c.  We can now always assume the top level directory
will be there.

5) --enable-debug-callb removed.  This never really did anything, it was
put in provisionally because it might have been needed.  It turns out
it was not so I am just removing it to prevent confusion.

These functions didn't exist for all archs prior to 2.6.24.  This
patch addes an autoconf test to detect this and add them when needed.
The autoconf check is needed instead of just an #ifndef because in
the most modern kernels atomic64_{cmp}xchg are implemented as in
inline function and not a #define.

Brian Behlendorf 5e9b5d832b Use Linux atomic primitives by default.
Previously Solaris style atomic primitives were implemented simply by
wrapping the desired operation in a global spinlock.  This was easy to
implement at the time when I wasn't 100% sure I could safely layer the
Solaris atomic primatives on the Linux counterparts.  It however was
likely not good for performance.

After more investigation however it does appear the Solaris primitives
can be layered on Linux's fairly safely.  The Linux atomic_t type really
just wraps a long so we can simply cast the Solaris unsigned value to
either a atomic_t or atomic64_t.  The only lingering problem for both
implementations is that Solaris provides no atomic read function.  This
means reading a 64-bit value on a 32-bit arch can (and will) result in
word breaking.  I was very concerned about this initially, but upon
further reflection it is a limitation of the Solaris API.  So really
we are just being bug-for-bug compatible here.

With this change the default implementation is layered on top of Linux
atomic types.  However, because we're assuming a lot about the internal
implementation of those types I've made it easy to fall-back to the
generic approach.  Simply build with --enable-atomic_spinlocks if
issues are encountered with the new implementation.

Brian Behlendorf 51a727e90f Set cwd to '/' for the process executing insmod.
Ricardo has pointed out that under Solaris the cwd is set to '/'
during module load, while under Linux it is set to the callers cwd.
To handle this cleanly I've reworked the module *_init()/_exit()
macros so they call a *_setup()/_cleanup() function when any SPL
dependent module is loaded or unloaded.  This gives us a chance to
perform any needed modification of the process, in this case changing
the cwd.  It also handily provides a way to avoid creating wrapper
init()/exit() functions because the Solaris and Linux prototypes
differ slightly.  All dependent modules should now call the spl
helper macros spl_module_{init,exit}() instead of the native linux
versions.

Unfortunately, it appears that under Linux there has been no consistent
API in the kernel to set the cwd in a module.  Because of this I have
had to add more autoconf magic than I'd like.  However, what I have
done is correct and has been tested on RHEL5, SLES11, FC11, and CHAOS
kernels.

In addition, I have change the rootdir type from a 'void *' to the
correct 'vnode_t *' type.  And I've set rootdir to a non-NULL value.

Brian Behlendorf 4d54fdee1d Reimplement mutexs for Linux lock profiling/analysis
For a generic explanation of why mutexs needed to be reimplemented
to work with the kernel lock profiling see commits:
  e811949a57 and
  d28db80fd0

The specific changes made to the mutex implemetation are as follows.
The Linux mutex structure is now directly embedded in the kmutex_t.
This allows a kmutex_t to be directly case to a mutex struct and
passed directly to the Linux primative.

Just like with the rwlocks it is critical that these functions be
implemented as '#defines to ensure the location information is
preserved.  The preprocessor can then do a direct replacement of
the Solaris primative with the linux primative.

Just as with the rwlocks we need to track the lock owner.  Here
things get a little more interesting because depending on your
kernel version, and how you've built your kernel Linux may already
do this for you.  If your running a 2.6.29 or newer kernel on a
SMP system the lock owner will be tracked.  This was added to Linux
to support adaptive mutexs, more on that shortly.  Alternately, your
kernel might track the lock owner if you've set CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES
in the kernel build.  If neither of the above things is true for
your kernel the kmutex_t type will include and track the lock owner
to ensure correct behavior.  This is all handled by a new autoconf
check called SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER.

Concerning adaptive mutexs these are a very recent development and
they did not make it in to either the latest FC11 of SLES11 kernels.
Ideally, I'd love to see this kernel change appear in one of these
distros because it does help performance.  From Linux kernel commit:
  0d66bf6d3514b35eb6897629059443132992dbd7
  "Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application...
  gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox"
However, if you don't want to backport this change yourself you
can still simply export the task_curr() symbol.  The kmutex_t
implementation will use this symbol when it's available to
provide it's own adaptive mutexs.

Finally, DEBUG_MUTEX support was removed including the proc handlers.
This was done because now that we are cleanly integrated with the
kernel profiling all this information and much much more is available
in debug kernel builds.  This code was now redundant.

Update mutexs validated on:
    - SLES10   (ppc64)
    - SLES11   (x86_64)
    - CHAOS4.2 (x86_64)
    - RHEL5.3  (x86_64)
    - RHEL6    (x86_64)
    - FC11     (x86_64)

Brian Behlendorf e811949a57 Reimplement rwlocks for Linux lock profiling/analysis.
It turns out that the previous rwlock implementation worked well but
did not integrate properly with the upstream kernel lock profiling/
analysis tools.  This is a major problem since it would be awfully
nice to be able to use the automatic lock checker and profiler.

The problem is that the upstream lock tools use the pre-processor
to create a lock class for each uniquely named locked.  Since the
rwsem was embedded in a wrapper structure the name was always the
same.  The effect was that we only ended up with one lock class for
the entire SPL which caused the lock dependency checker to flag
nearly everything as a possible deadlock.

The solution was to directly map a krwlock to a Linux rwsem using
a typedef there by eliminating the wrapper structure.  This was not
done initially because the rwsem implementation is specific to the arch.
To fully implement the Solaris krwlock API using only the provided rwsem
API is not possible.  It can only be done by directly accessing some of
the internal data member of the rwsem structure.

For example, the Linux API provides a different function for dropping
a reader vs writer lock.  Whereas the Solaris API uses the same function
and the caller does not pass in what type of lock it is.  This means to
properly drop the lock we need to determine if the lock is currently a
reader or writer lock.  Then we need to call the proper Linux API function.
Unfortunately, there is no provided API for this so we must extracted this
information directly from arch specific lock implementation.  This is
all do able, and what I did, but it does complicate things considerably.

The good news is that in addition to the profiling benefits of this
change.  We may see performance improvements due to slightly reduced
overhead when creating rwlocks and manipulating them.

The only function I was forced to sacrafice was rw_owner() because this
information is simply not stored anywhere in the rwsem.  Luckily this
appears not to be a commonly used function on Solaris, and it is my
understanding it is mainly used for debugging anyway.

In addition to the core rwlock changes, extensive updates were made to
the rwlock regression tests.  Each class of test was extended to provide
more API coverage and to be more rigerous in checking for misbehavior.

This is a pretty significant change and with that in mind I have been
careful to validate it on several platforms before committing.  The full
SPLAT regression test suite was run numberous times on all of the following
platforms.  This includes various kernels ranging from 2.6.16 to 2.6.29.

- SLES10   (ppc64)
- SLES11   (x86_64)
- CHAOS4.2 (x86_64)
- RHEL5.3  (x86_64)
- RHEL6    (x86_64)
- FC11     (x86_64)

Brian Behlendorf 6ae7fef5b9 Update global_page_state() support for 2.6.29 kernels.
Basically everything we need to monitor the global memory state of
the system is now cleanly available via global_page_state().  The
problem is that this interface is still fairly recent, and there
has been one change in the page state enum which we need to handle.
These changes basically boil down to the following:
- If global_page_state() is available we should use it.  Several
  autoconf checks have been added to detect the correct enum names.
- If global_page_state() is not available check to see if
  get_zone_counts() symbol is available and use that.
- If the get_zone_counts() symbol is not exported we have no choice
  be to dynamically aquire it at load time.  This is an absolute
  last resort for old kernel which we don't want to patch to
  cleanly export the symbol.

Brian Behlendorf ec7d53e99a Add basic credential support and splat tests.
The previous credential implementation simply provided the needed types and
a couple of dummy functions needed.  This update correctly ties the basic
Solaris credential API in to one of two Linux kernel APIs.

Prior to 2.6.29 the linux kernel embeded all credentials in the task
structure.  For these kernels, we pass around the entire task struct as if
it were the credential, then we use the helper functions to extract the
credential related bits.

As of 2.6.29 a new credential type was added which we can and do fairly
cleanly layer on top of.  Once again the helper functions nicely hide
the implementation details from all callers.

Three tests were added to the splat test framework to verify basic
correctness.  They should be extended as needed when need credential
functions are added.

Brian Behlendorf 3d0cb2d31d Remove LINUXINCLUDE from autoconf wrapper, breaks 2.6.28+ kernels.
Modern kernel build systems at least post 2.6.16 will set this properly
so we should not.  In fact post 2.6.28 the include headers have moved
under arch so the guess we make here is completely wrong.  Letting
the kernel build system set this ensure it will be correct.

Brian Behlendorf 749e5eb1ed Check arch/default/ path when detecting kernel objects on SLES
We still preferentially use arch/arch looking for a native version
but if that fails it is acceptable to use default.
2009-07-22 06:59:28 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf bb339d0670 Cleanly handle --with-linux=NONE option when used to generate source
rpms.  These should not be fatal because we actually don't need them
until we build the source rpm.  When doing mock builds this is
important because these dependent rpms will only be installed if
they are specificed in the source rpms spec file.
2009-07-02 10:47:28 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf 86933a6e51 Simplify rpm build rules, added config/rpm.am.
Distro friendly changes such that the kernel modules are packaged seperately.
2009-07-01 14:37:44 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf 2e0e7e6976 Packaging improvements for RHEL and SLES (part 2)
- Allow checking for exported symbols in both Module.symvers
  and Module.symvers.  My stock SLES kernel ships an objects
  directory with Module.symvers, yet produces a Module.symvers
  in the local build directory.
2009-06-16 11:34:28 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf 39a3d2a421 Packaging improvements for RHEL and SLES
- Properly honor --prefix in build system and rpm spec file.
- Add '--define require_kdir' to spec file to support building
  rpms against kernel sources installed in non-default locations.
- Add '--define require_kobj' to spec file to support building
  rpms against kernel object installed in non-default locations.
- Stop suppressing errors in autogen.sh script.
- Improved logic to detect missing kernel objects when they are
  not located with the source.  This is the common case for SLES
  as well as in-tree chaos kernel builds and is done to simply
  support for multiple arches.
- Moved spl-devel build products to /usr/src/spl-<version>, a
  spl symlink is created to reference the last installed version.
2009-06-16 10:44:59 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf 5232d256b4 SLES10 Fixes (part 6)
- Prior to 2.6.17 there were no *_pgdat helper functions in mm/mmzone.c.
  Instead for_each_zone() operated directly on pgdat_list which may or
  may not have been exported depending on how your kernel was compiled.
  Now new configure checks determine if you have the helpers or not, and
  if the needed symbols are exported.  If they are not exported then they
  are dynamically aquired at runtime by kallsyms_lookup_name().
2009-05-20 14:23:13 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf a093c6a499 SLES10 Fixes (part 4):
- Configure check for SLES specific API change to vfs_unlink()
  and vfs_rename() which added a 'struct vfsmount *' argument.
  This was for something called the linux-security-module, but
  it appears that it was never adopted upstream.
2009-05-20 11:31:55 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf 6c9433c150 SLES10 Fixes (part 3):
- Configure check for mutex_lock_nested().  This function was introduced
  as part of the mutex validator in 2.6.18, but if it's unavailable then
  it's safe to fallback to a plain mutex_lock().
2009-05-20 11:00:39 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf 96dded3844 SLES10 Fixes (part 2):
- Configure check, the div64_64() function was renamed to
  div64_u64() as of 2.6.26.
- Configure check, the global_page_state() fuction was introduced
  in 2.6.18 kernels.  The earlier 2.6.16 based SLES10 must not try
  and use it, thankfully get_zone_counts() is still available.
- To simplify debugging poison all symbols aquired dynamically
  using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name() with SYMBOL_POISON.
- Add console messages when the user mode helpers fail.
- spl_kmem_init_globals() use bit shifts instead of division.
- When the monotonic clock is unavailable __gethrtime() must perform
  the HZ division as an 'unsigned long long' because the SPL only
  implements __udivdi3(), and not __divdi3() for 'long long' division
  on 32-bit arches.
2009-05-20 10:08:37 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf bf338d8d09 SLES10 Fixes (part 1):
- Exclude -obj when detecting installed kernel source.
- Detect -obj directory for out of tree kernel builds.
- Allow kernel build system to set CC to ensure -m64 is set properly.
  This is an issue on 64-bit SLES systems which by default always
  build 32-bit binaries (unlike RHEL/Fedora which default to 64-bit)
2009-05-19 11:42:39 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf 0cbaeb117a Allow spl_config.h to be included by dependant packages
We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h so they
can leverage the configure checks the SPL has done.  This is important
because several of the spl headers need the results of these checks to
work properly.  Unfortunately, the autoheader build product is always
private to a particular build and defined certain common things.
(PACKAGE, VERSION, etc).  This prevents other packages which also use
autoheader from being include because the definitions conflict.  To
avoid this problem the SPL build system leverage AH_BOTTOM to include
a spl_unconfig.h at the botton of the autoheader build product.  This
custom include undefs all known shared symbols to prevent the confict.
This does however mean that those definition are also not availble
to the SPL package either.  The SPL package therefore uses the
equivilant SPL_META_* definitions.

Brian Behlendorf e11d6c5f50 FC10/i686 Compatibility Update (2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686)
In the interests of portability I have added a FC10/i686 box to
my list of development platforms.  The hope is this will allow me
to keep current with upstream kernel API changes, and at the same
time ensure I don't accidentally break x86 support.  This patch
resolves all remaining issues observed under that environment.

1) SPL_AC_ZONE_STAT_ITEM_FIA autoconf check added.  As of 2.6.21
the kernel added a clean API for modules to get the global count
for free, inactive, and active pages.  The SPL attempts to detect
if this API is available and directly map spl_global_page_state()
to global_page_state().  If the full API is not available then
spl_global_page_state() is implemented as a thin layer to get
these values via get_zone_counts() if that symbol is available.

2) New kmem:vmem_size regression test added to validate correct
vmem_size() functionality.  The test case acquires the current
global vmem state, allocates from the vmem region, then verifies
the allocation is correctly reflected in the vmem_size() stats.

3) Change splat_kmem_cache_thread_test() to always use KMC_KMEM
based memory.  On x86 systems with limited virtual address space
failures resulted due to exhaustig the address space.  The tests
really need to problem exhausting all memory on the system thus
we need to use the physical address space.

4) Change kmem:slab_lock to cap it's memory usage at availrmem
instead of using the native linux nr_free_pages().  This provides
additional test coverage of the SPL Linux VM integration.

5) Change kmem:slab_overcommit to perform allocation of 256K
instead of 1M.  On x86 based systems it is not possible to create
a kmem backed slab with entires of that size.  To compensate for
this the number of allocations performed in increased by 4x.

6) Additional autoconf documentation for proposed upstream API
changes to make additional symbols available to modules.

7) Console error messages added when spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
fails to locate an expected symbol.  This causes the module to fail
to load and we need to know exactly which symbol was not available.
2009-03-17 12:16:31 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf 8123ac4f0d Added SPL_AC_5ARGS_DEVICE_CREATE autoconf configure check
As of 2.6.27 kernels the device_create() API changed to include
a private data argument.  This check detects which version of
device_create() function the kernel has and properly defines
spl_device_create() to use the correct prototype.

Brian Behlendorf d4326403de Build System Default Kernel
Update the method used for determining which kernel to build against
when not specified.  Previous 'uname -r' was used but this makes the
assumption that the running kernel is the one you want to use, this is
often not the case.  It is better to examine the usual kernel-devel
install locations and select one of the installed kernels.
2009-03-09 16:57:10 -07:00
Brian Behlendorf c5f704607b Build system and packaging (RPM support)
An update to the build system to properly support all commonly
used Makefile targets these include:

  make all        # Build everything
  make install    # Install everything
  make clean	  # Clean up build products
  make distclean  # Clean up everything
  make dist       # Create package tarball
  make srpm       # Create package source RPM
  make rpm        # Create package binary RPMs
  make tags       # Create ctags and etags for everything

Extra care was taken to ensure that the source RPMs are fully
rebuildable against Fedora/RHEL/Chaos kernels.  To build binary
RPMs from the source RPM for your system simply run:

  rpmbuild --rebuild spl-x.y.z-1.src.rpm

This will produce two binary RPMs with correct 'requires'
dependencies for your kernel.  One will contain all spl modules
and support utilities, the other is a devel package for compiling
additional kernel modules which are dependant on the spl.

  spl-x.y.z-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm
  spl-devel-x.y.2-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm

Brian Behlendorf d1ff2312b0 Linux VM Integration Cleanup
Remove all instances of functions being reimplemented in the SPL.
When the prototypes are available in the linux headers but the
function address itself is not exported use kallsyms_lookup_name()
to find the address.  The function name itself can them become a
define which calls a function pointer.  This is preferable to
reimplementing the function in the SPL because it ensures we get
the correct version of the function for the running kernel.  This
is actually pretty safe because the prototype is defined in the
headers so we know we are calling the function properly.

This patch also includes a rhel5 kernel patch we exports the needed
symbols so we don't need to use kallsyms_lookup_name().  There are
autoconf checks to detect if the symbol is exported and if so to
use it directly.  We should add patches for stock upstream kernels
as needed if for no other reason than so we can easily track which
additional symbols we needed exported.  Those patches can also be
used by anyone willing to rebuild their kernel, but this should
not be a requirement.  The rhel5 version of the export-symbols
patch has been applied to the chaos kernel.

Additional fixes:
1) Implement vmem_size() function using get_vmalloc_info()
2) SPL_CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT macro updated to use $LINUX_OBJ instead
   of $LINUX because Module.symvers is a build product.  When
   $LINUX_OBJ != $LINUX we will not properly detect exported symbols.
3) SPL_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE macro updated to add include2 and
   $LINUX/include search paths to allow proper compilation when
   the kernel target build directory is not the source directory.

Brian Behlendorf 4ab13d3b5c Additional Linux VM integration
Added support for Solaris swapfs_minfree, and swapfs_reserve tunables.
In additional availrmem is now available and return a reasonable value
which is reasonably analogous to the Solaris meaning.  On linux we
return the sun of free and inactive pages since these are all easily
reclaimable.

All tunables are available in /proc/sys/kernel/spl/vm/* and they may
need a little adjusting once we observe the real behavior.  Some of
the defaults are mapped to similar linux counterparts, others are
straight from the OpenSolaris defaults.
2009-02-05 12:26:34 -08:00
Brian Behlendorf 36b313dacf Linux VM integration / device special files
Support added to provide reasonable values for the global Solaris
VM variables: minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree.  These values
are set to the sum of their per-zone linux counterparts which
should be close enough for Solaris consumers.

When a non-GPL app links against the SPL we cannot use the udev
interfaces, which means non of the device special files are created.
Because of this I had added a poor mans udev which cause the SPL
to invoke an upcall and create the basic devices when a minor
is registered.  When a minor is unregistered we use the vnode
interface to unlink the special file.

Brian Behlendorf 31a033ecd4 2.6.27+ portability changes
- Added SPL_AC_3ARGS_ON_EACH_CPU configure check to determine
  if the older 4 argument version of on_each_cpu() should be
  used or the new 3 argument version.  The retry argument was
  dropped in the new API which was never used anyway.
- Updated work queue compatibility wrappers.  The old way this
  worked was to pass a data point when initialized the workqueue.
  The new API assumed the work item is embedding in a structure
  and we us container_of() to find that data pointer.
- Updated skc->skc_flags to be an unsigned long which is now
  type checked in the bit operations.  This silences the warnings.
- Updated autogen products and splat tests accordingly
