In order for cppcheck to perform a proper analysis it needs to be
aware of how the sources are compiled (source files, include
paths/files, extra defines, etc). All the needed information is
available from the Makefiles and can be leveraged with a generic
cppcheck Makefile target. So let's add one.
Additional minor changes:
* Removing the cppcheck-suppressions.txt file. With cppcheck 2.3
and these changes it appears to no longer be needed. Some inline
suppressions were also removed since they appear not to be
needed. We can add them back if it turns out they're needed
for older versions of cppcheck.
* Added the ax_count_cpus m4 macro to detect at configure time how
many processors are available in order to run multiple cppcheck
jobs. This value is also now used as a replacement for nproc
when executing the kernel interface checks.
* "PHONY =" line moved in to the Rules.am file which is included
at the top of all Makefile.am's. This is just convenient becase
it allows us to use the += syntax to add phony targets.
* One upside of this integration worth mentioning is it now allows
`make cppcheck` to be run in any directory to check that subtree.
* For the moment, cppcheck is not run against the FreeBSD specific
kernel sources. The cppcheck-FreeBSD target will need to be
implemented and testing on FreeBSD to support this.

This PR adds two new compression types, based on ZStandard:
- zstd: A basic ZStandard compression algorithm Available compression.
Levels for zstd are zstd-1 through zstd-19, where the compression
increases with every level, but speed decreases.
- zstd-fast: A faster version of the ZStandard compression algorithm
zstd-fast is basically a "negative" level of zstd. The compression
decreases with every level, but speed increases.
Available compression levels for zstd-fast:
- zstd-fast-1 through zstd-fast-10
- zstd-fast-20 through zstd-fast-100 (in increments of 10)
- zstd-fast-500 and zstd-fast-1000
For more information check the man page.
Implementation details:
Rather than treat each level of zstd as a different algorithm (as was
done historically with gzip), the block pointer `enum zio_compress`
value is simply zstd for all levels, including zstd-fast, since they all
use the same decompression function.
The compress= property (a 64bit unsigned integer) uses the lower 7 bits
to store the compression algorithm (matching the number of bits used in
a block pointer, as the 8th bit was borrowed for embedded block
pointers). The upper bits are used to store the compression level.
It is necessary to be able to determine what compression level was used
when later reading a block back, so the concept used in LZ4, where the
first 32bits of the on-disk value are the size of the compressed data
(since the allocation is rounded up to the nearest ashift), was
extended, and we store the version of ZSTD and the level as well as the
compressed size. This value is returned when decompressing a block, so
that if the block needs to be recompressed (L2ARC, nop-write, etc), that
the same parameters will be used to result in the matching checksum.
All of the internal ZFS code ( `arc_buf_hdr_t`, `objset_t`,
`zio_prop_t`, etc.) uses the separated _compress and _complevel
variables. Only the properties ZAP contains the combined/bit-shifted
value. The combined value is split when the compression_changed_cb()
callback is called, and sets both objset members (os_compress and
os_complevel).
The userspace tools all use the combined/bit-shifted value.
Additional notes:
zdb can now also decode the ZSTD compression header (flag -Z) and
inspect the size, version and compression level saved in that header.
For each record, if it is ZSTD compressed, the parameters of the decoded
compression header get printed.
ZSTD is included with all current tests and new tests are added
as-needed.
Per-dataset feature flags now get activated when the property is set.
If a compression algorithm requires a feature flag, zfs activates the
feature when the property is set, rather than waiting for the first
block to be born. This is currently only used by zstd but can be
extended as needed.

The linux module can be built either as an external module, or compiled
into the kernel, using copy-builtin. The source and build directories
are slightly different between the two cases, and currently, compiling
into the kernel still refers to some files from the configured ZFS
source tree, instead of the copies inside the kernel source tree. There
is also duplication between copy-builtin, which creates a Kbuild file to
build ZFS inside the kernel tree, and the top-level module/Makefile.in.
Fix this by moving the list of modules and the CFLAGS settings into a
new module/Kbuild.in, which will be used by the kernel kbuild
infrastructure, and using KBUILD_EXTMOD to distinguish the two cases
within the Makefiles, in order to choose appropriate include
directories etc.
Module CFLAGS setting is simplified by using subdir-ccflags-y (available
since 2.6.30) to set them in the top-level Kbuild instead of each
individual module. The disabling of -Wunused-but-set-variable is removed
from the lua and zfs modules. The variable that the Makefile uses is
actually not defined, so this has no effect; and the warning has long
been disabled by the kernel Makefile itself.
The target_cpu definition in module/{zfs,zcommon} is removed as it was
replaced by use of CONFIG_SPARC64 in
commit 70835c5b75 ("Unify target_cpu handling")

A port of the Illumos Crypto Framework to a Linux kernel module (found

use the Linux kernel's built in crypto api because it is only exported to
GPL-licensed modules. Having the ICP also means the crypto code can run on
any of the other kernels under OpenZFS. I ended up porting over most of the
internals of the framework, which means that porting over other API calls (if
we need them) should be fairly easy. Specifically, I have ported over the API
functions related to encryption, digests, macs, and crypto templates. The ICP
is able to use assembly-accelerated encryption on amd64 machines and AES-NI
instructions on Intel chips that support it. There are place-holder
directories for similar assembly optimizations for other architectures
(although they have not been written).

This commit introduces a "copy-builtin" script designed to prepare a
kernel source tree for building ZFS as a builtin module. The script
makes a full copy of all needed files, thus making the kernel source
tree fully independent of the zfs source package.
To achieve that, some compilation flags (-include, -I) have been moved
to module/Makefile. This Makefile is only used when compiling external
modules; when compiling builtin modules, a Kbuild file generated by the
configure-builtin script is used instead. This makes sure Makefiles
inside the kernel source tree does not contain references to the zfs
source package.

Issue #851
When running 'make install' without DESTDIR set the module install
rules would mistakenly destroy the 'modules.*' files for ALL of
your installed kernels. This could lead to a non-functional system
for the alternate kernels because 'depmod -a' will only be run for
the kernel which was compiled against. This issue would not impact
anyone using the 'make <deb|rpm|pkg>' build targets to build and
install packages.
The fix for this issue is to only remove extraneous build products
when DESTDIR is set. This almost exclusively indicates we are
building packages and installed the build products in to a temporary
staging location. Additionally, limit the removal the unneeded
build products to the target kernel version.

Making distclean in module
make[1]: Entering directory `/zfs/module'
make -C SUBDIRS=`pwd` clean
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** SUBDIRS=/zfs/module: No such file or directory. Stop.
When using --with-config=user the 'distclean' target would fail
because it assumes the kernel configuration infrastrure is set up.
This is not the case, nor does it need to be, because the
'--with-config=user' option will prune the entire ./module subtree
from SUBDIRS. This prevents most build rules from operating in the
./module directory.
However, the 'dist*' rules will still traverse this directory
because it is listed in DIST_SUBDIRS. This is correct because we
need to ensure the dist rules package the directory contents
regardless of the configuration for the 'dist' rule. The correct
way to handle this is to only invoke the kernel build system as
part of the 'clean' rule when CONFIG_KERNEL_TRUE is set.
Initial fix provided by Darik Horn <dajhorn@vanadac.com>.
This commit is a slightly refined form of the original.
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.
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
public git repo.
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.
wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z
------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------

mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6
../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure
make make make make
make check make check make check make check
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.
Add autoconf style build infrastructure to the ZFS tree. This
includes autogen.sh, configure.ac, m4 macros, some scripts/*,
and makefiles for all the core ZFS components.
