Brian Behlendorf 3f03fc8df3 Add zpool events tests
* events_001_pos - Verify the expected events are generated when
  invoking the various zpool sub-commands.  These events must
  appear in `zpool event` and be consumed by the ZED.

* events_002_pos - Verify the ZED consumes events which were
  generated while it wasn't running when it is started.
  Additionally, verify that events are only processed once.

As part of this change the default.cfg used by the test suite
was changed to a default.cfg.in file.  This was needed so the
install location of all zed scripts, not only the enabled ones,
could be reliably determined.

Tony Hutter d6418de057 Prebaked scripts for zpool status/iostat -c
This patch updates the "zpool status/iostat -c" commands to only run
"pre-baked" scripts from the /etc/zfs/zpool.d directory (or wherever
you install to).  The scripts can only be run from -c as an unprivileged
user (unless the ZPOOL_SCRIPTS_AS_ROOT environment var is
set by root).  This was done to encourage scripts to be written is such
a way that normal users can use them, and to be cautious.  If your
script needs to run a privileged command, consider adding the
appropriate line in /etc/sudoers.  See zpool(8) for an example of how
to do this.

The patch also allows the scripts to output custom column names.  If
the script outputs a line like:

name=value

then "name" is used for the column name, and "value" is its value.
Multiple columns can be specified by outputting multiple lines.  Column
names and values can have spaces.  If the value is empty, a dash (-) is
printed instead.

After all the "name=value" lines are read (if any), zpool will take the
next the next line of output (if any) and print it without a column
header.  After that, no more lines will be processed. This can be
useful for printing errors.

Lastly, this patch also disables the -c option with the latency and
request size histograms, since it produced awkward output and made the
code harder to maintain.

Sydney Vanda ec0e24c232 Add auto-online test for ZED/FMA as part of the ZTS
Automated auto-online test to go along with ZED FMA integration (PR 4673)
auto_online_001.pos works with real devices (sd- and mpath) and with non-real
block devices (loop) by adding a scsi_debug device to the pool

Note: In order for test group to run, ZED must not currently be running.
Kernel 3.16.37 or higher needed for scsi_debug to work properly
If timeout occurs on test using a scsi_debug device (error noticed on Ubuntu
system), a reboot might be needed in order for test to pass. (more
investigation into this)

Also suppressed output from is_real_device/is_loop_device/is_mpath_device -
was making the log file very cluttered with useless error messages
"ie /dev/mapper/sdc is not a block device" from previous patch

Tom Caputi 0b04990a5d Illumos Crypto Port module added to enable native encryption in zfs
A port of the Illumos Crypto Framework to a Linux kernel module (found
in module/icp). This is needed to do the actual encryption work. We cannot
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).

Ned Bass 50c957f702 Implement large_dnode pool feature
Justification
-------------

This feature adds support for variable length dnodes. Our motivation is
to eliminate the overhead associated with using spill blocks.  Spill
blocks are used to store system attribute data (i.e. file metadata) that
does not fit in the dnode's bonus buffer. By allowing a larger bonus
buffer area the use of a spill block can be avoided.  Spill blocks
potentially incur an additional read I/O for every dnode in a dnode
block. As a worst case example, reading 32 dnodes from a 16k dnode block
and all of the spill blocks could issue 33 separate reads. Now suppose
those dnodes have size 1024 and therefore don't need spill blocks.  Then
the worst case number of blocks read is reduced to from 33 to two--one
per dnode block. In practice spill blocks may tend to be co-located on
disk with the dnode blocks so the reduction in I/O would not be this
drastic. In a badly fragmented pool, however, the improvement could be
significant.

ZFS-on-Linux systems that make heavy use of extended attributes would
benefit from this feature. In particular, ZFS-on-Linux supports the
xattr=sa dataset property which allows file extended attribute data
to be stored in the dnode bonus buffer as an alternative to the
traditional directory-based format. Workloads such as SELinux and the
Lustre distributed filesystem often store enough xattr data to force
spill bocks when xattr=sa is in effect. Large dnodes may therefore
provide a performance benefit to such systems.

Other use cases that may benefit from this feature include files with
large ACLs and symbolic links with long target names. Furthermore,
this feature may be desirable on other platforms in case future
applications or features are developed that could make use of a
larger bonus buffer area.

Implementation
--------------

The size of a dnode may be a multiple of 512 bytes up to the size of
a dnode block (currently 16384 bytes). A dn_extra_slots field was
added to the current on-disk dnode_phys_t structure to describe the
size of the physical dnode on disk. The 8 bits for this field were
taken from the zero filled dn_pad2 field. The field represents how
many "extra" dnode_phys_t slots a dnode consumes in its dnode block.
This convention results in a value of 0 for 512 byte dnodes which
preserves on-disk format compatibility with older software.

Similarly, the in-memory dnode_t structure has a new dn_num_slots field
to represent the total number of dnode_phys_t slots consumed on disk.
Thus dn->dn_num_slots is 1 greater than the corresponding
dnp->dn_extra_slots. This difference in convention was adopted
because, unlike on-disk structures, backward compatibility is not a
concern for in-memory objects, so we used a more natural way to
represent size for a dnode_t.

The default size for newly created dnodes is determined by the value of
a new "dnodesize" dataset property. By default the property is set to
"legacy" which is compatible with older software. Setting the property
to "auto" will allow the filesystem to choose the most suitable dnode
size. Currently this just sets the default dnode size to 1k, but future
code improvements could dynamically choose a size based on observed
workload patterns. Dnodes of varying sizes can coexist within the same
dataset and even within the same dnode block. For example, to enable
automatically-sized dnodes, run

 # zfs set dnodesize=auto tank/fish

The user can also specify literal values for the dnodesize property.
These are currently limited to powers of two from 1k to 16k. The
power-of-2 limitation is only for simplicity of the user interface.
Internally the implementation can handle any multiple of 512 up to 16k,
and consumers of the DMU API can specify any legal dnode value.

The size of a new dnode is determined at object allocation time and
stored as a new field in the znode in-memory structure. New DMU
interfaces are added to allow the consumer to specify the dnode size
that a newly allocated object should use. Existing interfaces are
unchanged to avoid having to update every call site and to preserve
compatibility with external consumers such as Lustre. The new
interfaces names are given below. The versions of these functions that
don't take a dnodesize parameter now just call the _dnsize() versions
with a dnodesize of 0, which means use the legacy dnode size.

New DMU interfaces:
  dmu_object_alloc_dnsize()
  dmu_object_claim_dnsize()
  dmu_object_reclaim_dnsize()

New ZAP interfaces:
  zap_create_dnsize()
  zap_create_norm_dnsize()
  zap_create_flags_dnsize()
  zap_create_claim_norm_dnsize()
  zap_create_link_dnsize()

The constant DN_MAX_BONUSLEN is renamed to DN_OLD_MAX_BONUSLEN. The
spa_maxdnodesize() function should be used to determine the maximum
bonus length for a pool.

These are a few noteworthy changes to key functions:

* The prototype for dnode_hold_impl() now takes a "slots" parameter.
  When the DNODE_MUST_BE_FREE flag is set, this parameter is used to
  ensure the hole at the specified object offset is large enough to
  hold the dnode being created. The slots parameter is also used
  to ensure a dnode does not span multiple dnode blocks. In both of
  these cases, if a failure occurs, ENOSPC is returned. Keep in mind,
  these failure cases are only possible when using DNODE_MUST_BE_FREE.

  If the DNODE_MUST_BE_ALLOCATED flag is set, "slots" must be 0.
  dnode_hold_impl() will check if the requested dnode is already
  consumed as an extra dnode slot by an large dnode, in which case
  it returns ENOENT.

* The function dmu_object_alloc() advances to the next dnode block
  if dnode_hold_impl() returns an error for a requested object.
  This is because the beginning of the next dnode block is the only
  location it can safely assume to either be a hole or a valid
  starting point for a dnode.

* dnode_next_offset_level() and other functions that iterate
  through dnode blocks may no longer use a simple array indexing
  scheme. These now use the current dnode's dn_num_slots field to
  advance to the next dnode in the block. This is to ensure we
  properly skip the current dnode's bonus area and don't interpret it
  as a valid dnode.

zdb
---
The zdb command was updated to display a dnode's size under the
"dnsize" column when the object is dumped.

For ZIL create log records, zdb will now display the slot count for
the object.

ztest
-----
Ztest chooses a random dnodesize for every newly created object. The
random distribution is more heavily weighted toward small dnodes to
better simulate real-world datasets.

Unused bonus buffer space is filled with non-zero values computed from
the object number, dataset id, offset, and generation number.  This
helps ensure that the dnode traversal code properly skips the interior
regions of large dnodes, and that these interior regions are not
overwritten by data belonging to other dnodes. A new test visits each
object in a dataset. It verifies that the actual dnode size matches what
was stored in the ztest block tag when it was created. It also verifies
that the unused bonus buffer space is filled with the expected data
patterns.

ZFS Test Suite
--------------
Added six new large dnode-specific tests, and integrated the dnodesize
property into existing tests for zfs allow and send/recv.

Send/Receive
------------
ZFS send streams for datasets containing large dnodes cannot be received
on pools that don't support the large_dnode feature. A send stream with
large dnodes sets a DMU_BACKUP_FEATURE_LARGE_DNODE flag which will be
unrecognized by an incompatible receiving pool so that the zfs receive
will fail gracefully.

While not implemented here, it may be possible to generate a
backward-compatible send stream from a dataset containing large
dnodes. The implementation may be tricky, however, because the send
object record for a large dnode would need to be resized to a 512
byte dnode, possibly kicking in a spill block in the process. This
means we would need to construct a new SA layout and possibly
register it in the SA layout object. The SA layout is normally just
sent as an ordinary object record. But if we are constructing new
layouts while generating the send stream we'd have to build the SA
layout object dynamically and send it at the end of the stream.

For sending and receiving between pools that do support large dnodes,
the drr_object send record type is extended with a new field to store
the dnode slot count. This field was repurposed from unused padding
in the structure.

ZIL Replay
----------
The dnode slot count is stored in the uppermost 8 bits of the lr_foid
field. The bits were unused as the object id is currently capped at
48 bits.

Resizing Dnodes
---------------
It should be possible to resize a dnode when it is dirtied if the
current dnodesize dataset property differs from the dnode's size, but
this functionality is not currently implemented. Clearly a dnode can
only grow if there are sufficient contiguous unused slots in the
dnode block, but it should always be possible to shrink a dnode.
Growing dnodes may be useful to reduce fragmentation in a pool with
many spill blocks in use. Shrinking dnodes may be useful to allow
sending a dataset to a pool that doesn't support the large_dnode
feature.

Feature Reference Counting
--------------------------
The reference count for the large_dnode pool feature tracks the
number of datasets that have ever contained a dnode of size larger
than 512 bytes. The first time a large dnode is created in a dataset
the dataset is converted to an extensible dataset. This is a one-way
operation and the only way to decrement the feature count is to
destroy the dataset, even if the dataset no longer contains any large
dnodes. The complexity of reference counting on a per-dnode basis was
too high, so we chose to track it on a per-dataset basis similarly to
the large_block feature.

Gvozden Neskovic ab9f4b0b82 SIMD implementation of vdev_raidz generate and reconstruct routines
This is a new implementation of RAIDZ1/2/3 routines using x86_64
scalar, SSE, and AVX2 instruction sets. Included are 3 parity
generation routines (P, PQ, and PQR) and 7 reconstruction routines,
for all RAIDZ level. On module load, a quick benchmark of supported
routines will select the fastest for each operation and they will
be used at runtime. Original implementation is still present and
can be selected via module parameter.

Patch contains:
- specialized gen/rec routines for all RAIDZ levels,
- new scalar raidz implementation (unrolled),
- two x86_64 SIMD implementations (SSE and AVX2 instructions sets),
- fastest routines selected on module load (benchmark).
- cmd/raidz_test - verify and benchmark all implementations
- added raidz_test to the ZFS Test Suite

New zfs module parameters:
- zfs_vdev_raidz_impl (str): selects the implementation to use. On
  module load, the parameter will only accept first 3 options, and
  the other implementations can be set once module is finished
  loading. Possible values for this option are:
    "fastest" - use the fastest math available
    "original" - use the original raidz code
    "scalar" - new scalar impl
    "sse" - new SSE impl if available
    "avx2" - new AVX2 impl if available

See contents of `/sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_vdev_raidz_impl` to
get the list of supported values. If an implementation is not supported
on the system, it will not be shown. Currently selected option is
enclosed in `[]`.

Add the ZFS Test Suite and test-runner framework from illumos.
This is a continuation of the work done by Turbo Fredriksson to
port the ZFS Test Suite to Linux.  While this work was originally
conceived as a stand alone project integrating it directly with
the ZoL source tree has several advantages:

  * Allows the ZFS Test Suite to be packaged in zfs-test package.
    * Facilitates easy integration with the CI testing.
    * Users can locally run the ZFS Test Suite to validate ZFS.
      This testing should ONLY be done on a dedicated test system
      because the ZFS Test Suite in its current form is destructive.
  * Allows the ZFS Test Suite to be run directly in the ZoL source
    tree enabled developers to iterate quickly during development.
  * Developers can easily add/modify tests in the framework as
    features are added or functionality is changed.  The tests
    will then always be in sync with the implementation.

Full documentation for how to run the ZFS Test Suite is available
in the tests/README.md file.

Warning: This test suite is designed to be run on a dedicated test
system.  It will make modifications to the system including, but
not limited to, the following.

  * Adding new users
  * Adding new groups
  * Modifying the following /proc files:
    * /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
    * /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid
  * Creating directories under /

Notes:
  * Not all of the test cases are expected to pass and by default
    these test cases are disabled.  The failures are primarily due
    to assumption made for illumos which are invalid under Linux.
  * When updating these test cases it should be done in as generic
    a way as possible so the patch can be submitted back upstream.
    Most existing library functions have been updated to be Linux
    aware, and the following functions and variables have been added.
    * Functions:
      * is_linux          - Used to wrap a Linux specific section.
      * block_device_wait - Waits for block devices to be added to /dev/.
    * Variables:            Linux          Illumos
      * ZVOL_DEVDIR         "/dev/zvol"    "/dev/zvol/dsk"
      * ZVOL_RDEVDIR        "/dev/zvol"    "/dev/zvol/rdsk"
      * DEV_DSKDIR          "/dev"         "/dev/dsk"
      * DEV_RDSKDIR         "/dev"         "/dev/rdsk"
      * NEWFS_DEFAULT_FS    "ext2"         "ufs"
  * Many of the disabled test cases fail because 'zfs/zpool destroy'
    returns EBUSY.  This is largely causes by the asynchronous nature
    of device handling on Linux and is expected, the impacted test
    cases will need to be updated to handle this.
  * There are several test cases which have been disabled because
    they can trigger a deadlock.  A primary example of this is to
    recursively create zpools within zpools.  These tests have been
    disabled until the root issue can be addressed.
  * Illumos specific utilities such as (mkfile) should be added to
    the tests/zfs-tests/cmd/ directory.  Custom programs required by
    the test scripts can also be added here.
  * SELinux should be either is permissive mode or disabled when
    running the tests.  The test cases should be updated to conform
    to a standard policy.
  * Redundant test functionality has been removed (zfault.sh).
  * Existing test scripts (zconfig.sh) should be migrated to use
    the framework for consistency and ease of testing.
  * The DISKS environment variable currently only supports loopback
    devices because of how the ZFS Test Suite expects partitions to
    be named (p1, p2, etc).  Support must be added to generate the
    correct partition name based on the device location and name.
  * The ZFS Test Suite is part of the illumos code base at:
    https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/tree/master/usr/src/test

scripts that have been enabled for the corresponding zevent class.
Multiple scripts may be invoked for a given zevent.  The zevent
nvpairs are passed to the scripts as environment variables.

Events are processed synchronously by the single thread, and there is
no maximum timeout for script execution.  Consequently, a misbehaving
script can delay (or forever block) the processing of subsequent
zevents.  Plans are to address this in future commits.

Initial scripts have been developed to log events to syslog
and send email in response to checksum/data/io errors and
resilver.finish/scrub.finish events.  By default, email will only
be sent if the ZED_EMAIL variable is configured in zed.rc (which is
serving as a config file of sorts until a proper configuration file

  * First, your kernel may not need to load either zlib_inflate
    or zlib_deflate.  This functionality may be built directly in
    to your kernel.  It depends entirely on what your distribution
    decided was the right thing to do.

  * Second, even if you do manage to load the correct modules you
    may not be able to unload them.  There may other consumers
    of the modules with a reference preventing the unload.

To avoid both of these issues the test scripts have been updated to
attempt to unconditionally load all modules listed in KERNEL_MODULES.
If the module is successfully loaded you must have needed it. If
the module can't be loaded that almost certainly means either it is
built in to your kernel or is already being used by another consumer.
In both cases this is not an issue and we can move on to the spl/zfs
modules.

Finally, by removing these kernel modules from the MODULES list
we ensure they are never unloaded during 'zfs.sh -u'.  This avoids
the issue of the script failing because there is another consumer
using the module we were not aware of.  In other words the script
restricts unloading modules to only the spl/zfs modules.

Closes #78

Brian Behlendorf 6283f55ea1 Support custom build directories and move includes
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 ----------------------
<ubuntu system>  <fedora system>  <debian system>  <rhel6 system>
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.
