This re-use the framework established for SSE2, SSSE3 and
AVX2. However, GCC is using FP registers on Aarch64, so
unlike SSE/AVX2 we can't rely on the registers being left alone
between ASM statements. So instead, the NEON code uses
C variables and GCC extended ASM syntax. Note that since
the kernel explicitly disable vector registers, they
have to be locally re-enabled explicitly.
As we use the variable's number to define the symbolic
name, and GCC won't allow duplicate symbolic names,
numbers have to be unique. Even when the code is not
going to be used (e.g. the case for 4 registers when
using the macro with only 2). Only the actually used
variables should be declared, otherwise the build
will fails in debug mode.
This requires the replacement of the XOR(X,X) syntax
by a new ZERO(X) macro, which does the same thing but
without repeating the argument. And perhaps someday
there will be a machine where there is a more efficient
way to zero a register than XOR with itself. This affects
scalar, SSE2, SSSE3 and AVX2 as they need the new macro.
It's possible to write faster implementations (different
scheduling, different unrolling, interleaving NEON and
scalar, ...) for various cores, but this one has the
advantage of fitting in the current state of the code,
and thus is likely easier to review/check/merge.
The only difference between aarch64-neon and aarch64-neonx2
is that aarch64-neonx2 unroll some functions some more.

This is initial support for x86 vectorized implementations of ZFS parity
and checksum algorithms.
For the compilation phase, configure step checks if toolchain supports relevant
instruction sets. Each implementation must ensure that the code is not passed
to compiler if relevant instruction set is not supported. For this purpose,
following new defines are provided if instruction set is supported:
- HAVE_SSE,
- HAVE_SSE2,
- HAVE_SSE3,
- HAVE_SSSE3,
- HAVE_SSE4_1,
- HAVE_SSE4_2,
- HAVE_AVX,
- HAVE_AVX2.
For detecting if an instruction set can be used in runtime, following functions
are provided in (include/linux/simd_x86.h):
- zfs_sse_available()
- zfs_sse2_available()
- zfs_sse3_available()
- zfs_ssse3_available()
- zfs_sse4_1_available()
- zfs_sse4_2_available()
- zfs_avx_available()
- zfs_avx2_available()
- zfs_bmi1_available()
- zfs_bmi2_available()
These function should be called once, on module load, or initialization.
They are safe to use from user and kernel space.
If an implementation is using more than single instruction set, both compiler
and runtime support for all relevant instruction sets should be checked.
Kernel fpu methods:
- kfpu_begin()
- kfpu_end()
Use __get_cpuid_max and __cpuid_count from <cpuid.h>
Both gcc and clang have support for these. They also handle ebx register
in case it is used for PIC code.

Starting from linux-2.6.37, {kmap,kunmap}_atomic takes 1 argument instead of 2.
We use zfs_{kmap,kunmap}_atomic as wrappers and always take 2 argument, but
ignore the 2nd for newer kernel.

Issue #2641
Modify the code to use the utsname() kernel function rather than
a global variable. This results is cleaner more portable code
because utsname() is already provided by the kernel and can be
easily emulated in user space via uname(2). This means that it
will behave consistently in both contexts.
This is also has the benefit that it allows the removal of a few
_KERNEL pre-processor conditions. And it also is a pre-requisite
for a proper FUSE port because we need to provide a valid utsname.
Finally, it allows us to remove this functionality from the SPL
and all the related compatibility code.

Issue #2757
Install the common zfs kernel development headers under
/usr/src/zfs-<version>/ rather than in a kernel specific
directory. The kernel specific build products such as
zfs_config.h and Modules.symvers are left installed under
/usr/src/zfs-<version>/<kernel>.
This was done to be consistent with where dkms expects
kernel module source to be packaged. It also allows for
a common zfs-kmod-devel package which includes the headers,
and per-kernel zfs-kmod-devel-<kernel> packages.

When the original build system code was added the release
component was accidentally omited from the development header
install path. This patch adds the missing path component so
it's always clear exactly what release your compiling against.

The fsync() callback in the file_operations structure used to take
3 arguments. The callback now only takes 2 arguments because the
dentry argument was determined to be unused by all consumers. To
handle this a compatibility prototype was added to ensure the right
prototype is used. Our implementation never used the dentry argument
either so it's just a matter of using the right prototype.
The const keyword was added to the 'struct xattr_handler' in the
generic Linux super_block structure. To handle this we define an
appropriate xattr_handler_t typedef which can be used. This was
the preferred solution because it keeps the code clean and readable.
Lay the initial ground work for a include/linux/ compatibility
directory. This was less critical in the past because the bulk
of the ZFS code consumes the Solaris API via the SPL. This API
was stable and the bulk Linux API differences were handled in
the SPL.
However, with the addition of a full Posix layer written directly
against the Linux APIs we are going to need more compatibility
code. It makes sense that all this code should be cleanly located
in one place. Subsequent patches should move the existing zvol
and vdev_disk compatibility code in to this directory.
