The long term fix for Debian and Slackware style packaging is
to add native support for building these packages. Unfortunately,
that is a large chunk of work I don't have time for right now.
That said it would be nice to have at least basic packages for
these distributions.
As a quick short/medium term solution I've settled on using alien
to convert the RPM packages to DEB or TGZ style packages. The
build system has been updated with the following build targets
which will first build RPM packages and then convert them as
needed to the target package type:
make rpm: Create .rpm packages
make deb: Create .deb packages
make tgz: Create .tgz packages
make pkg: Create the right package type for your distribution
The solution comes with lot of caveats and your mileage may vary.
But basically the big limitations are that the resulting packages:
1) Will not have the correct dependency information.
2) Will not not include the kernel version in the release.
3) Will not handle all differences between distributions.
But the resulting packages should be easy to install and remove
from your system and take care of running 'depmod -a' and such.
As I said at the top this is not the right long term solution.
If any of the upstream distribution maintainers want to jump in
and help do this right for their distribution I'd love the help.

Updated AUTHORS, COPYING, DISCLAIMER, and INSTALL files. Added
standardized headers to all source file to clearly indicate the
copyright, license, and to give credit where credit is due.

The cleanest way to do this is to set AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS = --silent. However,
AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS is not honored by automake-1.9.6-2.1 which is what I have
been using. To cleanly handle this I am updating to automake-1.11-3 which
is why it looks like there is a lot of churn in the Makefiles.

We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h to
build properly. This was partially solved in commit 0cbaeb1 by using
AH_BOTTOM to #undef common #defines (PACKAGE, VERSION, etc) which
autoconf always adds and cannot be easily removed. This solution
works as long as the spl_config.h is included before your projects
config.h. That turns out to be easier said than done. In particular,
this is a problem when your package includes its config.h using the
-include gcc option which ensures the first thing included is your
config.h.
To handle all cases cleanly I have removed the AH_BOTTOM hack and
replaced it with an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS command. This command runs
immediately after spl_config.h is written and with a little awk-foo
it strips the offending #defines from the file. This eliminates
the problem entirely and makes header safe for inclusion.
Also in this change I have removed the few places in the code where
spl_config.h is included. It is now added to the gcc compile line
to ensure the config results are always available.
Finally, I have also disabled the verbose kernel builds. If you
want them back you can always build with 'make V=1'. Since things
are working now they don't need to be on by default.

Distro friendly changes such that the kernel modules are packaged seperately.
|

|

- Allow checking for exported symbols in both Module.symvers
and Module.symvers. My stock SLES kernel ships an objects
directory with Module.symvers, yet produces a Module.symvers
in the local build directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

- Prior to 2.6.17 there were no *_pgdat helper functions in mm/mmzone.c.
Instead for_each_zone() operated directly on pgdat_list which may or
may not have been exported depending on how your kernel was compiled.
Now new configure checks determine if you have the helpers or not, and
if the needed symbols are exported. If they are not exported then they
are dynamically aquired at runtime by kallsyms_lookup_name().
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
- Configure check for SLES specific API change to vfs_unlink()
and vfs_rename() which added a 'struct vfsmount *' argument.
This was for something called the linux-security-module, but
it appears that it was never adopted upstream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
- Configure check for mutex_lock_nested(). This function was introduced
as part of the mutex validator in 2.6.18, but if it's unavailable then
it's safe to fallback to a plain mutex_lock().
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

- Configure check, the div64_64() function was renamed to
div64_u64() as of 2.6.26.
- Configure check, the global_page_state() fuction was introduced
in 2.6.18 kernels. The earlier 2.6.16 based SLES10 must not try
and use it, thankfully get_zone_counts() is still available.
- To simplify debugging poison all symbols aquired dynamically
using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name() with SYMBOL_POISON.
- Add console messages when the user mode helpers fail.
- spl_kmem_init_globals() use bit shifts instead of division.
- When the monotonic clock is unavailable __gethrtime() must perform
the HZ division as an 'unsigned long long' because the SPL only
implements __udivdi3(), and not __divdi3() for 'long long' division
on 32-bit arches.

We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h so they
can leverage the configure checks the SPL has done. This is important
because several of the spl headers need the results of these checks to
work properly. Unfortunately, the autoheader build product is always
private to a particular build and defined certain common things.
(PACKAGE, VERSION, etc). This prevents other packages which also use
autoheader from being include because the definitions conflict. To
avoid this problem the SPL build system leverage AH_BOTTOM to include
a spl_unconfig.h at the botton of the autoheader build product. This
custom include undefs all known shared symbols to prevent the confict.
This does however mean that those definition are also not availble
to the SPL package either. The SPL package therefore uses the
equivilant SPL_META_* definitions.

In the interests of portability I have added a FC10/i686 box to
my list of development platforms. The hope is this will allow me
to keep current with upstream kernel API changes, and at the same
time ensure I don't accidentally break x86 support. This patch
resolves all remaining issues observed under that environment.
1) SPL_AC_ZONE_STAT_ITEM_FIA autoconf check added. As of 2.6.21
the kernel added a clean API for modules to get the global count
for free, inactive, and active pages. The SPL attempts to detect
if this API is available and directly map spl_global_page_state()
to global_page_state(). If the full API is not available then
spl_global_page_state() is implemented as a thin layer to get
these values via get_zone_counts() if that symbol is available.
2) New kmem:vmem_size regression test added to validate correct
vmem_size() functionality. The test case acquires the current
global vmem state, allocates from the vmem region, then verifies
the allocation is correctly reflected in the vmem_size() stats.
3) Change splat_kmem_cache_thread_test() to always use KMC_KMEM
based memory. On x86 systems with limited virtual address space
failures resulted due to exhaustig the address space. The tests
really need to problem exhausting all memory on the system thus
we need to use the physical address space.
4) Change kmem:slab_lock to cap it's memory usage at availrmem
instead of using the native linux nr_free_pages(). This provides
additional test coverage of the SPL Linux VM integration.
5) Change kmem:slab_overcommit to perform allocation of 256K
instead of 1M. On x86 based systems it is not possible to create
a kmem backed slab with entires of that size. To compensate for
this the number of allocations performed in increased by 4x.
6) Additional autoconf documentation for proposed upstream API
changes to make additional symbols available to modules.
7) Console error messages added when spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
fails to locate an expected symbol. This causes the module to fail
to load and we need to know exactly which symbol was not available.

As of 2.6.27 kernels the device_create() API changed to include
a private data argument. This check detects which version of
device_create() function the kernel has and properly defines
spl_device_create() to use the correct prototype.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
1) Undefine non-unique entries in spl_config.h
2) Minor Makefile cleanup
3) Don't use includedir for proper kernel header install

An update to the build system to properly support all commonly
used Makefile targets these include:
make all # Build everything
make install # Install everything
make clean # Clean up build products
make distclean # Clean up everything
make dist # Create package tarball
make srpm # Create package source RPM
make rpm # Create package binary RPMs
make tags # Create ctags and etags for everything
Extra care was taken to ensure that the source RPMs are fully
rebuildable against Fedora/RHEL/Chaos kernels. To build binary
RPMs from the source RPM for your system simply run:
rpmbuild --rebuild spl-x.y.z-1.src.rpm
This will produce two binary RPMs with correct 'requires'
dependencies for your kernel. One will contain all spl modules
and support utilities, the other is a devel package for compiling
additional kernel modules which are dependant on the spl.
spl-x.y.z-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm
spl-devel-x.y.2-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm

Remove all instances of functions being reimplemented in the SPL.
When the prototypes are available in the linux headers but the
function address itself is not exported use kallsyms_lookup_name()
to find the address. The function name itself can them become a
define which calls a function pointer. This is preferable to
reimplementing the function in the SPL because it ensures we get
the correct version of the function for the running kernel. This
is actually pretty safe because the prototype is defined in the
headers so we know we are calling the function properly.
This patch also includes a rhel5 kernel patch we exports the needed
symbols so we don't need to use kallsyms_lookup_name(). There are
autoconf checks to detect if the symbol is exported and if so to
use it directly. We should add patches for stock upstream kernels
as needed if for no other reason than so we can easily track which
additional symbols we needed exported. Those patches can also be
used by anyone willing to rebuild their kernel, but this should
not be a requirement. The rhel5 version of the export-symbols
patch has been applied to the chaos kernel.
Additional fixes:
1) Implement vmem_size() function using get_vmalloc_info()
2) SPL_CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT macro updated to use $LINUX_OBJ instead
of $LINUX because Module.symvers is a build product. When
$LINUX_OBJ != $LINUX we will not properly detect exported symbols.
3) SPL_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE macro updated to add include2 and
$LINUX/include search paths to allow proper compilation when
the kernel target build directory is not the source directory.

Added support for Solaris swapfs_minfree, and swapfs_reserve tunables.
In additional availrmem is now available and return a reasonable value
which is reasonably analogous to the Solaris meaning. On linux we
return the sun of free and inactive pages since these are all easily
reclaimable.
All tunables are available in /proc/sys/kernel/spl/vm/* and they may
need a little adjusting once we observe the real behavior. Some of
the defaults are mapped to similar linux counterparts, others are
straight from the OpenSolaris defaults.

Support added to provide reasonable values for the global Solaris
VM variables: minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree. These values
are set to the sum of their per-zone linux counterparts which
should be close enough for Solaris consumers.
When a non-GPL app links against the SPL we cannot use the udev
interfaces, which means non of the device special files are created.
Because of this I had added a poor mans udev which cause the SPL
to invoke an upcall and create the basic devices when a minor
is registered. When a minor is unregistered we use the vnode
interface to unlink the special file.

- Added SPL_AC_3ARGS_ON_EACH_CPU configure check to determine
if the older 4 argument version of on_each_cpu() should be
used or the new 3 argument version. The retry argument was
dropped in the new API which was never used anyway.
- Updated work queue compatibility wrappers. The old way this
worked was to pass a data point when initialized the workqueue.
The new API assumed the work item is embedding in a structure
and we us container_of() to find that data pointer.
- Updated skc->skc_flags to be an unsigned long which is now
type checked in the bit operations. This silences the warnings.
- Updated autogen products and splat tests accordingly

* spl-07-kmem-cleanup.patch
This moves all the debugging code from sys/kmem.h to spl-kmem.c, because
the huge macros were hard to debug and were bloating functions that
allocated memory. I also fixed some other minor problems, including
32-bit fixes and a reported memory leak which was just due to using the
wrong free function.

at a time as I audit it. This chunk finishes moving the SPL entirely
off the linux slab on to the SPL implementation. It differs slightly
from the proposed version in that the spl continues to export to
all the Solaris types and functions. These do conflict with the
Linux slab so a module usings these interfaces must not include the
SPL slab if they also intend to use the linux slab. Or they must
explcitly #undef the macros which remap the functioin to their
spl_* equivilants.
A nice side of effect of dropping the entire linux slab is we
don't need to autoconf checks anymore. They kept messing with
the slab API endlessly!

1) Ensure mutex_init() never fails in the case of ENOMEM by retrying
forever. I don't think I've ever seen this happen but it was clear
after code inspection that if it did we would immediately crash.
2) Enable full debugging in check.sh for sanity tests. Might as well
get as much debug as we can in the case of a failure.
3) Reworked list of kmem caches tracked by SPL in to a hash with the
key based on the address of the kmem_cache_t. This should speed
up the constructor/destructor/shrinker lookup needed now for newer
kernel which removed the destructor support.
4) Updated kmem_cache_create to handle the case where CONFIG_SLUB
is defined. The slub would occasionally merge slab caches which
resulted in non-unique keys for our hash lookup in 3). To fix this
we detect if the slub is enabled and then set the needed flag
to prevent this merging from ever occuring.
5) New kernels removed the proc_dir_entry pointer from items
registered by sysctl. This means we can no long be sneaky and
manually insert things in to the sysctl tree simply by walking
the proc tree. So I'm forced to create a seperate tree for
all the things I can't easily support via sysctl interface.
I don't like it but it will do for now.

working on this branch for the next few days I suggested you work
off of the 0.3.1 tag. The following changes are fairly extensive
and are designed to make the SPL compatible with all kernels in
the range of 2.6.18-2.6.25. There were 13 relevant API changes
between these releases and I have added the needed autoconf tests
to check for them. However, this has not all been tested extensively.
I'll sort of the breakage on Fedora Core 9 and RHEL5 this week.

- Bite the bullet and fully autoconfize the debug options in the configure

SPL build, but available to modules which enable it when building against
the SPL. To enable particular SPL debug support use the follow configure
options:
--enable-debug Internal ASSERTs
--enable-debug-kmem Detailed memory accounting
--enable-debug-mutex Detailed mutex tracking
--enable-debug_kstat Kstat info exported to /proc
--enable-debug-callb Additional callb debug
