A Gentoo user reported an issue where the build system would attempt to recurse into the kernel source tree if KERNEL_DIR is set in the environment. KERNEL_DIR is an environment variable that is used when the kernel sources are in a non-standard location, so it is necessary to stop relying on it to prevent this issue. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433946 Signed-off-by: Richard Yao <ryao@cs.stonybrook.edu> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> |

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
