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: - - $ sh autogen.sh - $ ./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: - - $ sh autogen.sh - $ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-... - $ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-... - -The SPL comes with an automated test suite called SPLAT. The test suite -is implemented in two parts. There is a kernel module which contains -the tests and a user space utility which controls which tests are run. -To run the full test suite: - - $ sudo insmod ./module/splat/splat.ko - $ sudo ./cmd/splat --all - -Full documentation for building, configuring, testing, and using the -SPL can be found at: <http://zfsonlinux.org> |
