Restore the SIMD optimization for 4.19.38 LTS, 4.14.120 LTS,
and 5.0 and newer kernels. This is accomplished by leveraging
the fact that by definition dedicated kernel threads never need
to concern themselves with saving and restoring the user FPU state.
Therefore, they may use the FPU as long as we can guarantee user
tasks always restore their FPU state before context switching back
to user space.
For the 5.0 and 5.1 kernels disabling preemption and local
interrupts is sufficient to allow the FPU to be used. All non-kernel
threads will restore the preserved user FPU state.
For 5.2 and latter kernels the user FPU state restoration will be
skipped if the kernel determines the registers have not changed.
Therefore, for these kernels we need to perform the additional
step of saving and restoring the FPU registers. Invalidating the
per-cpu global tracking the FPU state would force a restore but
that functionality is private to the core x86 FPU implementation
and unavailable.
In practice, restricting SIMD to kernel threads is not a major
restriction for ZFS. The vast majority of SIMD operations are
already performed by the IO pipeline. The remaining cases are
relatively infrequent and can be handled by the generic code
without significant impact. The two most noteworthy cases are:
1) Decrypting the wrapping key for an encrypted dataset,
i.e. `zfs load-key`. All other encryption and decryption
operations will use the SIMD optimized implementations.
2) Generating the payload checksums for a `zfs send` stream.
In order to avoid making any changes to the higher layers of ZFS
all of the `*_get_ops()` functions were updated to take in to
consideration the calling context. This allows for the fastest
implementation to be used as appropriate (see kfpu_allowed()).
The only other notable instance of SIMD operations being used
outside a kernel thread was at module load time. This code
was moved in to a taskq in order to accommodate the new kernel
thread restriction.
Finally, a few other modifications were made in order to further
harden this code and facilitate testing. They include updating
each implementations operations structure to be declared as a
constant. And allowing "cycle" to be set when selecting the
preferred ops in the kernel as well as user space.

Minimal changes required to integrate the SPL sources in to the
ZFS repository build infrastructure and packaging.
Build system and packaging:
* Renamed SPL_* autoconf m4 macros to ZFS_*.
* Removed redundant SPL_* autoconf m4 macros.
* Updated the RPM spec files to remove SPL package dependency.
* The zfs package obsoletes the spl package, and the zfs-kmod
package obsoletes the spl-kmod package.
* The zfs-kmod-devel* packages were updated to add compatibility
symlinks under /usr/src/spl-x.y.z until all dependent packages
can be updated. They will be removed in a future release.
* Updated copy-builtin script for in-kernel builds.
* Updated DKMS package to include the spl.ko.
* Updated stale AUTHORS file to include all contributors.
* Updated stale COPYRIGHT and included the SPL as an exception.
* Renamed README.markdown to README.md
* Renamed OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE to LICENSE.
* Renamed DISCLAIMER to NOTICE.
Required code changes:
* Removed redundant HAVE_SPL macro.
* Removed _BOOT from nvpairs since it doesn't apply for Linux.
* Initial header cleanup (removal of empty headers, refactoring).
* Remove SPL repository clone/build from zimport.sh.
* Use of DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE and DEFINE_SPINLOCK removed due
to build issues when forcing C99 compilation.
* Replaced legacy ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE.
* Include needed headers for `current` and `EXPORT_SYMBOL`.

This is the Fletcher4 algorithm implemented in pure C, but using
multiple counters using algorithms identical to those used for
SSE/NEON and AVX2.
This allows for faster execution on core with strong superscalar
capabilities but weak SIMD capabilities.

Init, compute, and fini methods are changed to work on internal context object.
This is necessary because ABI does not guarantee that SIMD registers will be preserved
on function calls. This is technically the case in Linux kernel in between
`kfpu_begin()/kfpu_end()`, but it breaks user-space tests and some kernels that
don't require disabling preemption for using SIMD (osx).
Use scalar compute methods in-place for small buffers, and when the buffer size
does not meet SIMD size alignment.

- Benchmark memory block is increased to 128kiB to reflect real block sizes more
accurately. Measurements include all three stages needed for checksum generation,
i.e. `init()/compute()/fini()`. The inner loop is repeated multiple times to offset
overhead of time function.
- Fastest implementation selects native and byteswap methods independently in
benchmark. To support this new function pointers `init_byteswap()/fini_byteswap()`
are introduced.
- Implementation mutex lock is replaced by atomic variable.
- To save time, benchmark is not executed in userspace. Instead, highest supported
implementation is used for fastest. Default userspace selector is still 'cycle'.
- `fletcher_4_native/byteswap()` methods use incremental methods to finish
calculation if data size is not multiple of vector stride (currently 64B).
- Added `fletcher_4_native_varsize()` special purpose method for use when buffer size
is not known in advance. The method does not enforce 4B alignment on buffer size, and
will ignore last (size % 4) bytes of the data buffer.
- Benchmark `kstat` is changed to match the one of vdev_raidz. It now shows
throughput for all supported implementations (in B/s), native and byteswap,
as well as the code [fastest] is running.

In some cases, the compiler was not respecting the GNU aligned
attribute for stack variables in 35a76a0. This was resulting in
a segfault on CentOS 6.7 hosts using gcc 4.4.7-17. This issue
was fixed in gcc 4.6.
To prevent this from occurring, use unaligned loads and stores
for all stack and global memory references in the SSE optimized
Fletcher-4 code.

Builds off of 1eeb4562 (Implementation of AVX2 optimized Fletcher-4)
This commit adds another implementation of the Fletcher-4 algorithm.
It is automatically selected at module load if it benchmarks higher
than all other available implementations.
The module benchmark was also amended to analyze the performance of
the byteswap-ed version of Fletcher-4, as well as the non-byteswaped
version. The average performance of the two is used to select the
the fastest implementation available on the host system.
Adds a pair of fields to an existing zcommon module parameter:
- zfs_fletcher_4_impl (str)
"sse2" - new SSE2 implementation if available
"ssse3" - new SSSE3 implementation if available
