For all module/library functions ensure so stack frame exceeds 1024
bytes. Ideally this should be set lower to say 512 bytes but there
are still numerous functions which exceed even this limit. For now
this is set to 1024 to ensure we catch the worst offenders.
Additionally, set the limit for ztest to 1024 bytes since the idea
here is to catch stack issues in user space before we find them by
overrunning a kernel stack. This should also be reduced to 512
bytes as soon as all the trouble makes are fixed.
Finally, add -fstack-check to gcc build options when --enable-debug
is specified at configure time. This ensures that each page on the
stack will be touched and we will generate a segfault on stack
overflow.
Over time we can gradually fix the following functions:
536 zfs:dsl_deadlist_regenerate
536 zfs:dsl_load_sets
536 zfs:zil_parse
544 zfs:zfs_ioc_recv
552 zfs:dsl_deadlist_insert_bpobj
552 zfs:vdev_dtl_sync
584 zfs:copy_create_perms
608 zfs:ddt_class_contains
608 zfs:ddt_prefetch
608 zfs:__dprintf
616 zfs:ddt_lookup
648 zfs:dsl_scan_ddt
696 zfs:dsl_deadlist_merge
736 zfs:ddt_zap_walk
744 zfs:dsl_prop_get_all_impl
872 zfs:dnode_evict_dbufs
There are 3 fixes in thie commit. First, update ztest_run() to store
the thread id and not the address of the kthread_t. This will be freed
on thread exit and is not safe to use. This is pretty close to how
things were done in the original ztest code before I got there.
Second, for extra paranoia update thread_exit() to return a special
TS_MAGIC value via pthread_exit(). This value is then verified in
pthread_join() to ensure the thread exited cleanly. This can be
done cleanly because the kthread doesn't provide a return code
mechanism we need to worry about.
Third, replace the ztest deadman thread with a signal handler. We
cannot use the previous approach because the correct behavior for
pthreads is to wait for all threads to exit before terminating the
process. Since the deadman thread won't call exit by design we
end up hanging in kernel_exit(). To avoid this we just setup a
SIGALRM signal handle and register a deadman alarm. IMHO this
is simpler and cleaner anyway.
There was previous discussion of a race with joinable threads but to
be honest I can neither exactly remember the race, or recrease the
issue. I believe it may have had to do with pthread_create() returning
without having set kt->tid since this was done in the created thread.
If that was the race then I've 'fixed' it by ensuring the thread id
is set in the thread AND as the first pthread_create() argument. Why
this wasn't done originally I'm not sure, with luck Ricardo remembers.
Additionally, explicitly set a PAGESIZE guard frame at the end of the
stack to aid in detecting stack overflow. And add some conditional
logic to set STACK_SIZE correctly for Solaris.
Certain function must never be automatically inlined by gcc because
they are stack heavy or called recursively. This patch flags all
such functions I have found as 'noinline' to prevent gcc from making
the optimization.
This is a portability change which removes the dependence of the Solaris
thread library. All locations where Solaris thread API was used before
have been replaced with equivilant Solaris kernel style thread calls.
In user space the kernel style threading API is implemented in term of
the portable pthreads library. This includes all threads, mutexs,
condition variables, reader/writer locks, and taskqs.
Added print_timestamp() compatibility function, this will be needed
long term but it's a simply enough addition.
Added Solaris style label functions. This was done simply to aid in
the initial update to onnv_141. I'm hopeful that after more careful
inspection all of this can be removed and we can integrate with a
more Linux friendly Solution without breaking any compatibility.
Added several missing headers which are required by the updated
version of ZFS. As usual I just add empty headers if needed because
it's easier than tracking the change against the core ZFS code.
Added SEC, MILLISEC, MICROSEC defines if unavailable.
Added missing xuio structure and typedefs. I'm hopeful these can
be removed as well once we crack the zero-copy nut under Linux.
Almost exclusively this patch handled the addition of another char
array to the zfs_cmd_t structure. Unfortunately c90 doesn't allow
zero filling the entire struct with the '= { 0 };' shorthand.
