Support in-tree builtin module building.
These commits add support for compiling the ZFS module as a built-in
kernel module by copying the module code into the kernel source tree.
Here's the procedure:
- Create your kernel configuration (`.config` file) as usual. This
has to be done first so that ZFS's configure script is able to
detect kernel features correctly.
- Run `make prepare scripts` inside the kernel source tree.
- Run `./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...`
inside the ZFS directory.
- Run `./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...` inside the ZFS directory.
- In the kernel source tree, enable the `CONFIG_ZFS` option (e.g. using
`make menuconfig`). Note that this option depends on `CONFIG_SPL`
(see zfsonlinux/spl@
744038069d3dc65e721b5b8cc5c37d8c7fcbd8c0).
- Build the kernel as usual.
ZFS module parameters can be set at boot time using the following syntax
on the kernel command line: `zfs.parameter_name=parameter_value`.
Note that you also need to rebuild the userspace tools (see
zfsonlinux/zfs@
f09398cec665259a4c2f96726680fbd3b0a3bac3).
