Add `--enable-asan` and `--enable-ubsan` switches
`configure` now accepts `--enable-asan` and `--enable-ubsan` switches
which results in passing `-fsanitize=address`
and `-fsanitize=undefined`, respectively, to the compiler. Those
flags are enabled in GitHub workflows for ZTS and zloop. Errors
reported by both instrumentations are corrected, except for:

- Memory leak reporting is (temporarily) suppressed. The cost of
  fixing them is relatively high compared to the gains.

- Checksum computing functions in `module/zcommon/zfs_fletcher*`
  have UBSan errors suppressed. It is completely impractical
  to enforce 64-byte payload alignment there due to performance
  impact.

- There's no ASan heap poisoning in `module/zstd/lib/zstd.c`. A custom
  memory allocator is used there rendering that measure
  unfeasible.

- Memory leaks detection has to be suppressed for `cmd/zvol_id`.
  `zvol_id` is run by udev with the help of `ptrace(2)`. Tracing is
  incompatible with memory leaks detection.

ZSTD-On-ZFS Library Manual

Introduction

This subtree contains the ZSTD library used in ZFS. It is heavily cut-down by dropping any unneeded files, and combined into a single file, but otherwise is intentionally unmodified. Please do not alter the file containing the zstd library, besides upgrading to a newer ZSTD release.

Tree structure:

  • zfs_zstd.c is the actual zzstd kernel module.
  • lib/ contains the unmodified, "amalgamated" version of the Zstandard library, generated from our template file
  • zstd-in.c is our template file for generating the library
  • include/: This directory contains supplemental includes for platform compatibility, which are not expected to be used by ZFS elsewhere in the future. Thus we keep them private to ZSTD.

Updating ZSTD

To update ZSTD the following steps need to be taken:

  1. Grab the latest release of ZSTD.
  2. Update module/zstd/zstd-in.c if required. (see zstd/contrib/single_file_libs/zstd-in.c in the zstd repository)
  3. Generate the "single-file-library" and put it to module/zstd/lib/.
  4. Copy the following files to module/zstd/lib/:
    • zstd/lib/zstd.h
    • zstd/lib/common/zstd_errors.h

This can be done using a few shell commands from inside the zfs repo:

cd PATH/TO/ZFS

url="https://github.com/facebook/zstd"
release="$(curl -s "${url}"/releases/latest | grep -oP '(?<=v)[\d\.]+')"
zstd="/tmp/zstd-${release}/"

wget -O /tmp/zstd.tar.gz \
    "${url}/releases/download/v${release}/zstd-${release}.tar.gz"
tar -C /tmp -xzf /tmp/zstd.tar.gz

cp ${zstd}/lib/zstd.h module/zstd/lib/
cp ${zstd}/lib/zstd_errors.h module/zstd/lib/
${zstd}/contrib/single_file_libs/combine.sh \
    -r ${zstd}/lib -o module/zstd/lib/zstd.c module/zstd/zstd-in.c

Note: if the zstd library for zfs is updated to a newer version, the macro list in include/zstd_compat_wrapper.h usually needs to be updated. this can be done with some hand crafting of the output of the following script: nm zstd.o | awk '{print "#define "$3 " zfs_" $3}' > macrotable

Altering ZSTD and breaking changes

If ZSTD made changes that break compatibility or you need to make breaking changes to the way we handle ZSTD, it is required to maintain backwards compatibility.

We already save the ZSTD version number within the block header to be used to add future compatibility checks and/or fixes. However, currently it is not actually used in such a way.
