Needed for Illumos #3582. This interface is supposed to support
a variable-resolution timeout with nanosecond granularity. This
implementation rounds up to microsecond resolution, as nanosecond-
precision timing is rarely needed for real-world performance
tuning and may incur unnecessary busy-waiting. usleep_range() is
used if available, otherwise udelay() or msleep() are used
depending on the length of the delay interval.
Add flags from sys/callo.h as these are used to control the behavior of
cv_timedwait_hires(). Specifically,
CALLOUT_FLAG_ABSOLUTE
Normally, the expiration passed to the timeout API functions is
an expiration interval. If this flag is specified, then it is
interpreted as the expiration time itself.
CALLOUT_FLAG_ROUNDUP
Roundup the expiration time to the next resolution boundary. If this
flag is not specified, the expiration time is rounded down.

While porting Illumos #3537 I found that ks_lock member of kstat_t
structure is different between Illumos and SPL. It is a pointer to
the kmutex_t in Illumos, but the mutex lock itself in SPL.
Apparently Illumos kstat API allows consumer to override the lock
if required. With SPL implementation it is not possible anymore.
Things were alright until the first attempt to actually override
the lock. Porting of Illumos #3537 introduced such code for the
first time.
In order to provide the Solaris/Illumos like functionality we:
1. convert ks_lock to "kmutex_t *ks_lock"
2. create a new field "kmutex_t ks_private_lock"
3. On kstat_create() ks_lock = &ks_private_lock
Thus if consumer doesn't care we still have our internal lock in use.
If, however, consumer does care she has a chance to set ks_lock to
anything else before calling kstat_install().
The rest of the code will use ks_lock regardless of its origin.

The current implementation for displaying kstats of type KSTAT_TYPE_RAW

The callbacks allow the user to implement functions for interpreting
their data and transposing it into a character buffer. This buffer,
containing a string representation of the raw data, is then be displayed
through the current /proc textual interface.
Additionally the kstats are made writable because it's now possible

It was observed that spl_kmem_cache_alloc() uses local_irq_save()
and saves the interrupt state in a local variable. This would
normally be fine except that spl_kmem_cache_alloc() calls
spl_cache_refill() which re-enables interrupts. It is then
possible that while interrupts are enabled the process is
rescheduled to a different cpu before being disable again.
This could result in us restoring the saved interrupt state
from one cpu to another.
What the consequences of this are aren't perfectly clear, but
this is clearly a bug and it has the potential to cause issues.
The code has been updated to just use local_irq_enable() and
local_irq_disable() to avoid this.

The PaX team started constifying `struct ctl_table` as of their Linux
3.8.0 patchset. This lead to zfsonlinux/spl#225 and Gentoo bug #463012.
While investigating our options, I learned that there is a preprocessor
directive called CONSTIFY_PLUGIN that we can use to detect the presence
of the PaX changes and adjust the code accordingly.
The PaX Team had suggested adopting ctl_table_no_const, but supporting
older kernels required declaring that whenever the CONSTIFY_PLUGIN was
set. Future compiler changes could potentially cause that to break in
the presence of -Werror, so instead we define our own spl_ctl_table
typdef and use that. This should be compatible with all PaX kernels.
This introduces a Linux kernel version number check to prevent a build
failure on versions of the PaX GCC plugin that existed for kernels
before Linux 3.8.0. Affected versions of the PaX plugin will trigger a
compiler error when they see no_const cast on a non-constified
structure. Ordinarily, we would need an autotools check to catch that.
However, it is safe to do a kernel version check instead of an autotools
check in this specific instance because the affected versions of the PaX
GCC plugin only exist for Linux kernels before 3.8.0 and the
constification of `struct ctl_table` by the PaX developers only occurs
in Linux 3.8.0 and later.

Long ago infrastructure was added to the SPL to keep an internal
debug log of the last few seconds of activity. This was helpful
during the early development, but these days it is no longer
needed. I haven't had to resort to this debug buffer to resolve
an issue for several years now.
Today better more generic tools like systemtap and ftrace have
evolved to the point where they can be used for this purpose.
Along with the stack trace dumped to the system console, and in
rare cases a crash dump we almost always have the debug we need.
Therefore, I'm disabling the code which automatically dumps
this log to disk during an assertion except for the case where
spl_debug_panic_on_bug is set (disabled by default).
This should be viewed as a first step towards either.
a) Retiring this infrastructure and complexity entirely, or
b) Integrating this logging more properly with ftrace.

Cache aging was implemented because it was part of the default Solaris
kmem_cache behavior. The idea is that per-cpu objects which haven't been
accessed in several seconds should be returned to the cache. On the other
hand Linux slabs never move objects back to the slabs unless there is
memory pressure on the system.
This behavior is now configurable through the 'spl_kmem_cache_expire'
module option. The value is a bit mask with the following meaning.
0x1 - Solaris style cache aging eviction is enabled.
0x2 - Linux style low memory eviction is enabled.
Both methods may be safely enabled simultaneously, but by default
both are disabled. It has never been clear if the kmem cache aging
(which has been around from day one) actually does any good. It has
however been the source of numerous bugs so I wouldn't mind retiring
it entirely.

Commit a10287e00d slightly reworked
the slab ageing code such that it is no longer dependent on the
Linux delayed work queue interfaces.
This was good for portability and performance, but it requires us
to use the on_each_cpu() function to execute the spl_magazine_age()
function. That means that the function is now executing in interrupt
context whereas before it was scheduled in normal process context.
And that means we need to be slightly more careful about the locking
in the interrupt handler.
With the reworked code it's possible that we'll be holding the
skc->skc_lock and be interrupted to handle the spl_magazine_age()
IRQ. This will result in a deadlock and soft lockup errors unless
we're careful to detect the contention and avoid taking the lock in
the interupt handler. So that's what this patch does.
Alternately, (and slightly more conventionally) we could have used
spin_lock_irqsave() to prevent this race entirely but I'd perfer to
avoid disabling interrupts as much as possible due to performance
concerns. There is absolutely no penalty for us not aging objects
out of the magazine due to contention.

Shift the cache and magazine ageing functionality over to the new
delayed taskq interfaces. This allows us to abandon the kernels
delayed work queue interface and all the compatibility code it

However, the delayed taskq interface does not allow us to schedule
a task for a specfic cpu so the ageing code was slightly reworked.
The magazine ageing delay has been directly linked to the cache
ageing function. The spl_cache_age() function invokes on_each_cpu()
in order to run spl_magazine_age() on each cpu. It then blocks
waiting for them to complete and promptly reclaims any free slabs.
When restructing the code wasn't the primary goal I think the
new code is far more understable and maintainable. It also should
help minimize magazine thrashing because free slabs are immediately
released after the magazine is aged.

Add a test case for taskq_cancel_id() to verify it is working
properly. Just like taskq:delay we start by dispatching 100
tasks. However this time 1/3 of the tasks use taskq_dispatch()
and will be run immediately, and 2/3 use taskq_dispatch_delay().
The idea is to create a busy taskq with both active, pending,
and delayed tasks.
After all the items have been successfully dispatched the test
begins randomly canceling known task ids. It will do this for
5 seconds randomly canceling a task id and then sleeping for a
few milliseconds. The task being canceled may have already run,
still be on the pending list, or may be currently being executed
by a worker thread. The idea is to ensure we catch any subtle
race conditions.
Once all the non-canceled tasks have completed we cross check
the number of tasks which ran with the number of tasks which
were successfully canceled. Additionally, we verify that the
taskq_cancel_id() function never blocks longer than needed.
This time is bounded by the longest run time of the task which
was dispatched.

Add the ability to dispatch a delayed task to a taskq. The desired
behavior is for the task to be queued but not executed by a worker
thread until the expiration time is reached. To achieve this two
new functions were added.
* taskq_dispatch_delay() -
This function behaves exactly like taskq_dispatch() however it
takes a third 'expire_time' argument. The caller should pass the
desired time the task should be executed as an absolute value in
jiffies. The task is guarenteed not to run before this time, it
may run slightly latter if all the worker threads are busy.
* taskq_cancel_id() -
Given a task id attempt to cancel the task before it gets executed.
This is primarily useful for canceling delay tasks but can be used for
canceling any previously dispatched task. There are three possible
return values.
0 - The task was found and canceled before it was executed.
ENOENT - The task was not found, either it was already run or an
invalid task id was supplied by the caller.
EBUSY - The task is currently executing any may not be canceled.
This function will block until the task has been completed.
* taskq_wait_all() -
The taskq_wait_id() function was renamed taskq_wait_all() to more
clearly reflect its actual behavior. It is only curreny used by
the splat taskq regression tests.
* taskq_wait_id() -
Historically, the only difference between this function and
taskq_wait() was that you passed the task id. In both functions you
would block until ALL lower task ids which executed. This was
semantically correct but could be very slow particularly if there
were delay tasks submitted.
To better accomidate the delay tasks this function was reimplemnted.
It will now only block until the passed task id has been completed.
This is actually a fairly low risk change for a few reasons.
* Only new ZFS callers will make use of the new interfaces and
very little common code was changed to support the new functions.
* The existing taskq_wait() implementation was not changed just
slightly refactored.
* The newly optimized taskq_wait_id() implementation was never
used by ZFS we can't accidentally introduce a new bug there.
NOTE: This functionality does not exist in the Illumos taskqs.

When the taskq implementation was originally written I wrapped all
the API functions in #define's. This was done as a preventative
measure to ensure that a taskq symbol never conflicted with an
existing kernel symbol.
However, in practice the taskq symbols never conflicted. The only
major conflicts occured with the kmem cache API. Since this added
layer of obfuscation never bought us anything for the taskq's I'm
removing it.
