When CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS is enabled uid_t/git_t are replaced by kuid_t/kgid_t, which are structures instead of integral types. This causes any code that uses an integral type to fail to build. The User Namespace functionality introduced in Linux 3.8 requires CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS, so we could not build against any kernel that supported it. We resolve this by converting between the new kuid_t/kgid_t structures and the original uid_t/gid_t types.

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 do not want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
If you are building directly from the git tree and not an officially released tarball you will need to generate the configure script. This can be done by executing the autogen.sh script after installing the GNU autotools for your distribution.
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
