Add a new defclsyspri macro which can be used to request the default
Linux scheduler priority. Neither the minclsyspri or maxclsyspri map
to the default Linux kernel thread priority. This makes it awkward to
create taskqs which run with the same priority as the rest of the kernel
threads on the system which can lead to performance issues.
All SPL callers which previously used minclsyspri or maxclsyspri have
been changed to use defclsyspri. The vast majority of callers were
part of the test suite which won't have an external impact. The few
places where it could impact performance the change was from maxclsyspri
to defclsyspri. This makes it more likely the process will be scheduled
which may help performance.
To facilitate further performance analysis the spl_taskq_thread_priority
module option has been added. When disabled (0) all newly created kernel
threads will use the default kernel thread priority. When enabled (1)
the specified taskq priority will be used. By default this value is
enabled (1).

There are regions in the ZFS code where it is desirable to be able
to be set PF_FSTRANS while a specific mutex is held. The ZFS code
could be updated to set/clear this flag in all the correct places,
but this is undesirable for a few reasons.
1) It would require changes to a significant amount of the ZFS
code. This would complicate applying patches from upstream.
2) It would be easy to accidentally miss a critical region in
the initial patch or to have an future change introduce a
new one.
Both of these concerns can be addressed by adding a new mutex type
which is responsible for managing PF_FSTRANS, support for which was
added to the SPL in commit 9099312 - Merge branch 'kmem-rework'.

Issue #435
Don't include the compatibility code in linux/*_compat.h in the public
header sys/types.h. This causes problems when an external code base
includes the ZFS headers and has its own conflicting compatibility code.
Lustre, in particular, defined SHRINK_STOP for compatibility with
pre-3.12 kernels in a way that conflicted with the SPL's definition.
Because Lustre ZFS OSD includes ZFS headers it fails to build due to a
'"SHRINK_STOP" redefined' compiler warning. To avoid such conflicts
only include the compat headers from .c files or private headers.
Also, for consistency, include sys/*.h before linux/*.h then sort by
header name.

The Fedora 3.6 debug kernel identified the following issue where
we create a thread under a spin lock. This isn't safe because
sleeping could result in a deadlock. Therefore the lock is changed
to a mutex so it's safe to sleep.
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:930
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 10583, name: splat

To avoid symbol conflicts with dependent packages the debug
header must be split in to several parts. The <sys/debug.h>
header now only contains the Solaris macro's such as ASSERT
and VERIFY. The spl-debug.h header contain the spl specific
debugging infrastructure and should be included by any package
which needs to use the spl logging. Finally the spl-trace.h
header contains internal data structures only used for the log
facility and should not be included by anythign by spl-debug.c.
This way dependent packages can include the standard Solaris
headers without picking up any SPL debug macros. However, if
the dependant package want to integrate with the SPL debugging
subsystem they can then explicitly include spl-debug.h.
Along with this change I have dropped the CHECK_STACK macros
because the upstream Linux kernel now has much better stack
depth checking built in and we don't need this complexity.
Additionally SBUG has been replaced with PANIC and provided as
part of the Solaris macro set. While the Solaris version is
really panic() that conflicts with the Linux kernel so we'll
just have to make due to PANIC. It should rarely be called
directly, the prefered usage would be an ASSERT or VERIFY.
There's lots of change here but this cleanup was overdue.
The threads in the splat atomic:64-bit test share the data structure
atomic_priv_t ap, which lives on the kernel stack of the splat user-space
utility. If splat terminates before the threads, accesses to that memory
location by the other threads become invalid. Splat synchronizes with
the threads with the call:
wait_event_interruptible(ap.ap_waitq, splat_atomic_test1_cond(&ap, i));
Apparently, the SIGINT wakes and terminates splat prematurely, so that
GPFs or other bad things happen when the threads subsequently access ap.
This commit prevents this by using the uninterruptible form:
wait_event(ap.ap_waitq, splat_atomic_test1_cond(&ap, i));
Updated AUTHORS, COPYING, DISCLAIMER, and INSTALL files. Added
standardized headers to all source file to clearly indicate the
copyright, license, and to give credit where credit is due.
- Proper ioctl() 32/64-bit binary compatibility. We need to ensure the
ioctl data itself is always packed the same for 32/64-bit binaries.
Additionally, the correct thing to do is encode this size in bytes
as part of the command using _IOC_SIZE().
- Minor formatting changes to respect the 80 character limit.
- Move all SPLAT_SUBSYSTEM_* defines in to splat-ctl.h.
- Increase SPLAT_SUBSYSTEM_UNKNOWN because we were getting close
to accidentally using it for a real registered subsystem.
