We are finding that as customers get larger and faster machines
(hundreds of cores, large NVMe-backed pools) they keep hitting
relatively low performance ceilings. Our profiling work almost always
finds that they're running into bottlenecks on the SPA IO taskqs.
Unfortunately there's often little we can advise at that point, because
there's very few ways to change behaviour without patching.
This commit adds two load-time parameters `zio_taskq_read` and
`zio_taskq_write` that can configure the READ and WRITE IO taskqs
directly.
This achieves two goals: it gives operators (and those that support
them) a way to tune things without requiring a custom build of OpenZFS,
which is often not possible, and it lets us easily try different config
variations in a variety of environments to inform the development of
better defaults for these kind of systems.
Because tuning the IO taskqs really requires a fairly deep understanding
of how IO in ZFS works, and generally isn't needed without a pretty
serious workload and an ability to identify bottlenecks, only minimal
documentation is provided. Its expected that anyone using this is going
to have the source code there as well.

ZFS historically has had several space allocators that were
dynamically selectable. While these have been retained in
OpenZFS, only a single allocator has been statically compiled
in. This patch compiles all allocators for OpenZFS and provides
a module parameter to allow for manual selection between them.

Various module parameters such as `zfs_arc_max` were originally
`uint64_t` on OpenSolaris/Illumos, but were changed to `unsigned long`
for Linux compatibility because Linux's kernel default module parameter
implementation did not support 64-bit types on 32-bit platforms. This
caused problems when porting OpenZFS to Windows because its LLP64 memory
model made `unsigned long` a 32-bit type on 64-bit, which created the
undesireable situation that parameters that should accept 64-bit values
could not on 64-bit Windows.
Upon inspection, it turns out that the Linux kernel module parameter
interface is extensible, such that we are allowed to define our own
types. Rather than maintaining the original type change via hacks to to
continue shrinking module parameters on 32-bit Linux, we implement
support for 64-bit module parameters on Linux.
After doing a review of all 64-bit kernel parameters (found via the man
page and also proposed changes by Andrew Innes), the kernel module
parameters fell into a few groups:
Parameters that were originally 64-bit on Illumos:
* dbuf_cache_max_bytes
* dbuf_metadata_cache_max_bytes
* l2arc_feed_min_ms
* l2arc_feed_secs
* l2arc_headroom
* l2arc_headroom_boost
* l2arc_write_boost
* l2arc_write_max
* metaslab_aliquot
* metaslab_force_ganging
* zfetch_array_rd_sz
* zfs_arc_max
* zfs_arc_meta_limit
* zfs_arc_meta_min
* zfs_arc_min
* zfs_async_block_max_blocks
* zfs_condense_max_obsolete_bytes
* zfs_condense_min_mapping_bytes
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms
* zfs_deadman_synctime_ms
* zfs_initialize_chunk_size
* zfs_initialize_value
* zfs_lua_max_instrlimit
* zfs_lua_max_memlimit
* zil_slog_bulk
Parameters that were originally 32-bit on Illumos:
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
Parameters that were originally `ssize_t` on Illumos:
* zfs_immediate_write_sz
Note that `ssize_t` is `int32_t` on 32-bit and `int64_t` on 64-bit. It
has been upgraded to 64-bit.
Parameters that were `long`/`unsigned long` because of Linux/FreeBSD
influence:
* l2arc_rebuild_blocks_min_l2size
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zfs_max_log_walking
* zfs_max_logsm_summary_length
* zfs_metaslab_max_size_cache_sec
* zfs_min_metaslabs_to_flush
* zfs_multihost_interval
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_max
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_min
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_amt
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_ppm
New parameters that do not exist in Illumos:
* l2arc_trim_ahead
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_sys_free
* zfs_deadman_ziotime_ms
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_history_output_max
* zfs_livelist_max_entries
* zfs_max_async_dedup_frees
* zfs_max_nvlist_src_size
* zfs_rebuild_max_segment
* zfs_rebuild_vdev_limit
* zfs_unflushed_log_txg_max
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
Rather than clutter the lists with commentary, the module parameters
that need comments are repeated below.
A few parameters were defined in Linux/FreeBSD specific code, where the
use of ulong/long is not an issue for portability, so we leave them
alone:
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
The documentation for a few parameters was found to be incorrect:
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_delete_blocks - not documented as Linux only
* zfs_history_output_max - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size - incorrectly documented as long
* zvol_max_discard_blocks - incorrectly documented as ulong
The documentation for these has been fixed, alongside the changes to
document the switch to fixed width types.
In addition, several kernel module parameters were percentages or held
ashift values, so being 64-bit never made sense for them. They have been
downgraded to 32-bit:
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
Of special note are `zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift` and
`zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift`, which were already defined as `uint64_t`,
and passed to the kernel as `ulong`. This is inherently buggy on big
endian 32-bit Linux, since the values would not be written to the
correct locations. 32-bit FreeBSD was unaffected because its sysctl code
correctly treated this as a `uint64_t`.
Lastly, a code comment suggests that `zfs_arc_sys_free` is
Linux-specific, but there is nothing to indicate to me that it is
Linux-specific. Nothing was done about that.

Apply similar options to BLAKE3 as it is done for zfs_fletcher_4_impl.
The zfs module parameter on Linux changes from icp_blake3_impl to
zfs_blake3_impl.
You can check and set it on Linux via sysfs like this:
```
[bash]# cat /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_blake3_impl
cycle [fastest] generic sse2 sse41 avx2
[bash]# echo sse2 > /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_blake3_impl
[bash]# cat /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_blake3_impl
cycle fastest generic [sse2] sse41 avx2
```
The modprobe module parameters may also be used now:
```
[bash]# modprobe zfs zfs_blake3_impl=sse41
[bash]# cat /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_blake3_impl
cycle fastest generic sse2 [sse41] avx2
```
On FreeBSD the BLAKE3 implementation can be set via sysctl like this:
```
[bsd]# sysctl vfs.zfs.blake3_impl
vfs.zfs.blake3_impl: cycle [fastest] generic sse2 sse41 avx2
[bsd]# sysctl vfs.zfs.blake3_impl=sse2
vfs.zfs.blake3_impl: cycle [fastest] generic sse2 sse41 avx2 \
-> cycle fastest generic [sse2] sse41 avx2
```
This commit changes also some Blake3 internals like these:
- blake3_impl_ops_t was renamed to blake3_ops_t
- all functions are named blake3_impl_NAME() now

FreeBSD had a few platform-specific ARC tunables in the wrong place:
- Move FreeBSD-specifc ARC tunables into the same vfs.zfs.arc node as
the rest of the ARC tunables.
- Move the handlers from arc_os.c to sysctl_os.c and add compat sysctls
for the legacy names.
While here, some additional clean up:
- Most handlers are specific to a particular variable and don't need a
pointer passed through the args.
- Group blocks of related variables, handlers, and sysctl declarations
into logical sections.
- Match variable types for temporaries in handlers with the type of the
global variable.

Originally it was thought it would be useful to split up the kmods
by functionality. This would allow external consumers to only load
what was needed. However, in practice we've never had a case where
this functionality would be needed, and conversely managing multiple
kmods can be awkward. Therefore, this change merges all but the
spl.ko kmod in to a single zfs.ko kmod.

Before OpenZFS 2.0, trying to set the FreeBSD sysctl vfs.zfs.arc_max

Keep the ability to set the sysctl's specifically to 0, even though
that is less than the minimum, because some tests depend on this.
Also lost, was the ability to set vfs.zfs.arc_max to a value less

There has been a panic affecting some system configurations where the

leading to a panic at boot.
module_init() registers zcommon_init to run in the last subsystem
(SI_SUB_LAST). Running it as soon as interrupts have been configured
(SI_SUB_INT_CONFIG_HOOKS) makes sure we have finished the benchmarks
before we start doing other things.
While it's not clear *how* the FPU context was being disturbed, this
does seem to avoid it.

point on FreeBSD. On Linux this is defined as module_init().

Closes#11302
Many modern devices use physical allocation units that are much
larger than the minimum logical allocation size accessible by
external commands. Two prevalent examples of this are 512e disk
drives (512b logical sector, 4K physical sector) and flash devices
(512b logical sector, 4K or larger allocation block size, and 128k
or larger erase block size). Operations that modify less than the
physical sector size result in a costly read-modify-write or garbage
collection sequence on these devices.
Simply exporting the true physical sector of the device to ZFS would
yield optimal performance, but has two serious drawbacks:
1. Existing pools created with devices that have different logical
and physical block sizes, but were configured to use the logical
block size (e.g. because the OS version used for pool construction
reported the logical block size instead of the physical block
size) will suddenly find that the vdev allocation size has
increased. This can be easily tolerated for active members of
the array, but ZFS would prevent replacement of a vdev with
another identical device because it now appears that the smaller
allocation size required by the pool is not supported by the new
device.
2. The device's physical block size may be too large to be supported
by ZFS. The optimal allocation size for the vdev may be quite
large. For example, a RAID controller may export a vdev that
requires read-modify-write cycles unless accessed using 64k
aligned/sized requests. ZFS currently has an 8k minimum block
size limit.
Reporting both the logical and physical allocation sizes for vdevs
solves these problems. A device may be used so long as the logical
block size is compatible with the configuration. By comparing the
logical and physical block sizes, new configurations can be optimized
and administrators can be notified of any existing pools that are
sub-optimal.
