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).

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.

Restructure the the SPLAT headers such that each test only
includes the minimal set of headers it requires.

To validate the correct behavior of the TSD interfaces it's
important that we add a regression test. This test is designed
to minimally exercise the fundamental TSD behavior, it does not
attempt to validate all potential corner cases.
The test will first create 32 keys via tsd_create() and register
a common destructor. Next 16 wait threads will be created each
of which set/verify a random value for all 32 keys, then block
waiting to be released by the control thread. Meanwhile the
control thread verifies that none of the destructors have been
run prematurely.
The next phase of the test is to create 16 exit threads which
set/verify a random value for all 32 keys. They then immediately
exit. This is is designed to verify tsd_exit() which will be
called via thread_exit(). This must result in all registered
destructors being run and the memory for the tsd being free'd.
After this tsd_destroy() is verified by destroying all 32 keys.
Once again we must see the expected number of destructors run
and the tsd memory free'd. At this point the blocked threads
are released and they exit calling tsd_exit() which should do
very little since all the tsd has already been destroyed.
If this all goes off without a hitch the test passes. To ensure
no memory has been leaked, I have manually verified that after
spl module unload no memory is reported leaked.
The call to wake_up() must be moved under the spin lock because
once we drop the lock 'tp' may no longer be valid because the
creating thread has exited. This basic thread implementation
was correct, this was simply a flaw in the test case.
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.
