Module parameter to enable spl_panic() to panic the kernel
In unattended operations it's often more useful to have node
panic and reboot when it encounters problems as opposed to
sit there indefinitely waiting for somebody to discover it.
This implements an spl_panic_crash module parameter, set it
to nonzero to cause spl_panic() to call panic().

When we load a ZFS pool having spa_name equals to some existing kstat
we would have to create a duplicate entry, which procfs doesn't like.
For instance a ZFS pool named "zil" would have its kstat "txgs"
(module "zfs/zil") intalled under "/proc/spl/kstat/zfs/zil":
unfortunately we already have a kstat named "zil" (module "zfs")
installed in the same procfs location.

Linux 4.11 compat: remove stub for __put_task_struct
Before kernel 2.6.29 credentials were embedded in task_structs, and zfs had
cases where one thread would need to refer to the credential of another thread,
forcing it to take a hold on the foreign thread's task_struct to ensure it was
not freed.
Since 2.6.29, the credential has been moved out of the task_struct into a
cred_t.
In addition, the mainline kernel originally did not export __put_task_struct()
but the RHEL5 kernel did, according to zfsonlinux/spl@e811949a570. As of
2.6.39 the mainline kernel exports it.
There is no longer zfs code that takes or releases holds on a task_struct, and
so there is no longer any reference to __put_task_struct().
This affects the linux 4.11 kernel because the prototype for
__put_task_struct() is in a new include file (linux/sched/task.h) and so the
config check failed to detect the exported symbol.
Removing the unnecessary stub and corresponding config check. This works on
kernels since the oldest one currently supported, 2.6.32 as shipped with
Centos/RHEL.

Linux 4.11 compat: vfs_getattr() takes 4 args
There are changes to vfs_getattr() in torvalds/linux@a528d35. The new
interface is:
int vfs_getattr(const struct path *path, struct kstat *stat,
u32 request_mask, unsigned int query_flags)
The request_mask argument indicates which field(s) the caller intends to
use. Fields the caller does not specify via request_mask may be set in
the returned struct anyway, but their values may be approximate.
The query_flags argument indicates whether the filesystem must update
the attributes from the backing store.
This patch uses the query_flags which result in vfs_getattr behaving the same
as it did with the 2-argument version which the kernel provided before
Linux 4.11.
Members blksize and blocks are now always the same size regardless of
arch. They match the size of the equivalent members in vnode_t.

Reimplement rt_mutex_owner to fix build with DEBUG & PREEMPT_RT_FULL
rt_mutex_owner is internal to kernel/locking/rtmutex_common.h and

accessing the owner has been stable since at least 3.13 ([1], [2]),
which is masking the lowest bit in the owner pointer in rt_mutex. We
do the same.
Add support for rw semaphore under PREEMPT_RT_FULL
The main complication from the RT patch set is that the RW semaphore
locks change such that read locks on an rwsem can be taken only by
a single thread. All other threads are locked out. This single
thread can take a read lock multiple times though. The underlying
implementation changes to a mutex with an additional read_depth
count.
The implementation can be best understood by inspecting the RT
patch. rwsem_rt.h and rt.c give the best insight into how RT
rwsem works. My implementation for rwsem_tryupgrade is basically
an inversion of rt_downgrade_write found in rt.c. Please see the
comments in the code.
Unfortunately, I have to drop SPLAT rwlock test4 completely as this
test tries to take multiple locks from different threads, which RT
rwsems do not support. Otherwise SPLAT, zconfig.sh, zpios-sanity.sh

changing the implementation to utilize a fast PRNG.
The Linux kernel did not export a suitable PRNG function until it
exported get_random_int() in Linux 3.10. While we could implement an
autotools check so that we use it when it is available or even try to
access the symbol on older kernels where it is not exported using the
fact that it is exported on newer ones as justification, we can instead
implement our own pseudo-random data generator. For this purpose, I have
written one based on a 128-bit pseudo-random number generator proposed
in a paper by Sebastiano Vigna that itself was based on work by the late
George Marsaglia.
Profiling the same benchmark with an earlier variant of this patch that
used a slightly different generator (roughly same number of
instructions) by the same author showed that time spent in
random_get_pseudo_bytes() dropped to 0.06%. That is a factor of 50
improvement. This particular generator algorithm is also well known to
be fast:
http://xorshift.di.unimi.it/#speed
The benchmark numbers there state that it runs at 1.12ns/64-bits or 7.14
GBps of throughput on an Intel Core i7-4770 in what is presumably a
single-threaded context. Using it in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` in the
manner I have will probably not reach that level of performance, but it
should be fairly high and many times higher than the Linux
`get_random_bytes()` function that we use now, which runs at 16.3 MB/s
on my Intel Xeon E3-1276v3 processor when measured by using dd on
/dev/urandom.
Also, putting this generator's seed into per-CPU variables allows us to
eliminate overhead from both spin locks and CPU memory barriers, which
is NUMA friendly.
We could have alternatively modified consumers to use something like
`gethrtime() % 3` as suggested by both Matthew Ahrens and Tim Chase, but
that has a few potential problems that this approach avoids:
1. Switching to `gethrtime() % 3` in hot code paths today requires
diverging from illumos-gate and does nothing about potential future
patches from illumos-gate that call our slow `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`
in different hot code paths. Reimplementing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`
with a per-CPU PRNG avoids both of those things entirely, which means
less work for us in the future.
2. Looking at the code that implements `gethrtime()`, I think it is
unlikely to be faster than this per-CPU PRNG implementation of
`random_get_pseudo_bytes()`. It would be best to go with something fast
now so that there is no point in revisiting this from a performance
perspective.
3. `gethrtime() % 3` can vary in behavior from system to system based on
kernel version, architecture and clock source. In comparison, this
per-CPU PRNG is about ~40 lines of code in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`
that should behave consistently across all systems regardless of kernel
version, system architecture or machine clock source. It is unlikely
that we would ever need to revisit this per-CPU PRNG while the same
cannot be said for `gethrtime() % 3`.
4. `gethrtime()` uses CPU memory barriers and maybe atomic instructions
depending on the clock source, so replacing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`
with `gethrtime()` in hot code paths could still require a future person
working on NUMA scalability to reimplement it anyway while this per-CPU
PRNG would not by virtue of using neither CPU memory barriers nor atomic
instructions. Note that I did not check various clock sources for the
presence of atomic instructions. There is simply too much code to read
and given the drawbacks versus this per-cpu PRNG, there is no point in
being certain.
5. I have heard of instances where poor quality pseudo-random numbers
caused problems for HPC code in ways that took more than a year to
identify and were remedied by switching to a higher quality source of
pseudo-random numbers. While filesystems are different than HPC code, I
do not think it is impossible for us to have instances where poor
quality pseudo-random numbers can cause problems. Opting for a well
studied PRNG algorithm that passes tests for statistical randomness over
changing callers to use `gethrtime() % 3` bypasses the need to think
about both whether poor quality pseudo-random numbers can cause problems
and the statistical quality of numbers from `gethrtime() % 3`.
6. `gethrtime()` calls `getrawmonotonic()`, which uses seqlocks. This is
probably not a huge issue, but anyone using kgdb would never be able to
step through a seqlock critical section, which is not a problem either
now or with the per-CPU PRNG:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seqlock
The only downside that I can see is that this code's memory requirement
is O(N) where N is NR_CPUS, versus the current code and `gethrtime() %
3`, which are O(1), but that should not be a problem. The seeds will use
64KB of memory at the high end (i.e `NR_CPU == 4096`) and 16 bytes of
memory at the low end (i.e. `NR_CPU == 1`). In either case, we should
only use a few hundred bytes of code for text, especially since
`spl_rand_jump()` should be inlined into `spl_random_init()`, which
should be removed during early boot as part of "Freeing unused kernel
memory". In either case, the memory requirements are minuscule.

Don't hold mutex until release cv in cv_wait
If a thread is holding mutex when doing cv_destroy, it might end up waiting a
thread in cv_wait. The waiter would wake up trying to aquire the same mutex
and cause deadlock.
We solve this by move the mutex_enter to the bottom of cv_wait, so that
the waiter will release the cv first, allowing cv_destroy to succeed and have
a chance to free the mutex.
This would create race condition on the cv_mutex. We use xchg to set and check
it to ensure we won't be harmed by the race. This would result in the cv_mutex

Also, the change reveals a race, which was unlikely before, where we call

Subclass tq_lock to eliminate a lockdep warning
When taskq_dispatch() calls taskq_thread_spawn() to create a new thread
for a taskq, linux lockdep warns of possible recursive locking. This is
a false positive.
One such call chain is as follows, when a taskq needs more threads:
taskq_dispatch->taskq_thread_spawn->taskq_dispatch
The initial taskq_dispatch() holds tq_lock on the taskq that needed more
worker threads. The later call into taskq_dispatch() takes
dynamic_taskq->tq_lock. Without subclassing, lockdep believes these
could potentially be the same lock and complains. A similar case occurs
when taskq_dispatch() then calls task_alloc().
