zfsboot/zfsloader: support accessing filesystems within a pool

In zfs loader zfs device name format now is "zfs:pool/fs",
fully qualified file path is "zfs:pool/fs:/path/to/file"
loader allows accessing files from various pools and filesystems as well
as changing currdev to a different pool/filesystem.

zfsboot accepts kernel/loader name in a format pool:fs:path/to/file or,
as before, pool:path/to/file; in the latter case a default filesystem
is used (pool root or bootfs). zfsboot passes guids of the selected
pool and dataset to zfsloader to be used as its defaults.

zfs support should be architecture independent and is provided
in a separate library, but architectures wishing to use this zfs support
still have to provide some glue code and their devdesc should be
compatible with zfs_devdesc.
arch_zfs_probe method is used to discover all disk devices that may
be part of ZFS pool(s).

libi386 unconditionally includes zfs support, but some zfs-specific
functions are stubbed out as weak symbols. The strong definitions
are provided in libzfsboot.
This change mean that the size of i386_devspec becomes larger
to match zfs_devspec.

Backward-compatibility shims are provided for recently added sparc64
zfs boot support. Currently that architecture still works the old
way and does not support the new features.

TODO:
- clear up pool root filesystem vs pool bootfs filesystem distinction
- update sparc64 support
- set vfs.root.mountfrom based on currdev (for zfs)

Mid-future TODO:
- loader sub-menu for selecting alternative boot environment

Distant future TODO:
- support accessing snapshots, using a snapshot as readonly root

# 234898 01-May-2012 marius

Add initial support for booting from ZFS on sparc64. At least on Sun Fire
V100, the firmware is known to be broken and not allowing to simultaneously
open disk devices, causing attempts to boot from a mirror or RAIDZ to cause
a crash. This will be worked around later. The firmwares of newer sun4u models
don't seem to exhibit this problem though.

Steps for ZFS booting:

1. create VTOC8 label
# gpart create -s vtoc8 da0

2. add partitions, f.e.:
# gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -s 60g da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-swap da0
resulting in something like:
# gpart show
=> 0 143331930 da0 VTOC8 (68G)
0 125821080 1 freebsd-zfs (60G)
125821080 17510850 2 freebsd-swap (8.4G)

3. create zpool
# zpool create bunker da0a
or for mirror/RAIDZ (after preparing additional disks as in steps 1. + 2.):
# zpool create bunker mirror da0a da1a
# zpool create bunker raidz da0a da1a da2a ...

4. set bootfs
# zpool set bootfs=bunker bunker

5. install zfsboot
# zpool export bunker
# gpart bootcode -p /boot/zfsboot da0

6. write zfsloader to the ZFS Boot Block (so far, there's no dedicated tool
for this, so dd(1) has to be used for this purpose)
When using mirror/RAIDZ, step 4. and the dd(1) invocation should be repeated
for the additional disks in order to be able to boot from another disk in
case of failure.
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10
# dd if=/boot/zfsloader of=/dev/da0a bs=512 oseek=1024 conv=notrunc
# zpool import bunker

7. install system on ZFS filesystem
Don't forget to set 'zfs_load="YES"' and vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:bunker" in
loader.conf as well as 'zfs_enable="YES"'in rc.conf.

8. copy zpool.cache to the ZFS filesystem
cp -p /boot/zfs/zpool.cache /bunker/boot/zfs/zpool.cache

9. set mountpoint
# zfs set mountpoint=/ bunker

10. Now, given that aliases for all disks in the zpool exists (check with
the `devalias` command on the boot monitor prompt) and disk0 corresponds
to da0 (likewise for additional disks), the system can be booted from the
ZFS with:
{1} ok boot disk0

# 219089 27-Feb-2011 pjd

Finally... Import the latest open-source ZFS version - (SPA) 28.

Few new things available from now on:

- Data deduplication.
- Triple parity RAIDZ (RAIDZ3).
- zfs diff.
- zpool split.
- Snapshot holds.
- zpool import -F. Allows to rewind corrupted pool to earlier
transaction group.
- Possibility to import pool in read-only mode.

zfs boot: fix error handling in zfs_readdir

Found by: clang static analyzer
MFC after: 4 days


# 204067 18-Feb-2010 pjd

Update comment. We also look for GPT partitions.


# 198420 23-Oct-2009 rnoland

Correct some issues with zfs boot.

- Teach it to read gang blocks. (essentially untested)
If you see "ZFS: gang block detected!", please let
me know, so we can either remove the printf if it
works, or fix it if it doesn't.

- If multiple partitions exist on a disk, probe them all.
We also need to reset dsk->start to 0 to read the right
sector here.

- With GPT, we can have 128 partitions.

- If the bootfs property has ever been set on a pool
it seems that it never goes away. zpool won't allow
you to add to the pool with the bootfs property set.
However, if you clear the property back to default
we end up getting 0 for the object number and read
a bogus block pointer and fail to boot.

- Fix some error printfs. The printf in the loader is
only capable of c,s and u formats.

- Teach printf how to display %llu

# 185938 11-Dec-2008 ps

Fix a leak introduced in r185902. We should free the devspec if
we've successfully found a zfs pool.


# 185902 11-Dec-2008 ps

Avoid a double free in devopen by not freeing the device structure
in zfs_dev_open. This stops a panic in the loader when trying to
read from a zfs device and no zfs devices exist.


# 185096 19-Nov-2008 dfr

Add a GPT-aware variant of zfsboot which should be used in a similar manner
to gptboot, i.e. installed in a freebsd-boot partition using /sbin/gpart or
/sbin/gpt.

Tweak the /boot/loader ZFS support so that it can find ZFS pools that are
contained in GPT partitions.


# 185029 17-Nov-2008 pjd

Update ZFS from version 6 to 13 and bring some FreeBSD-specific changes.

This bring huge amount of changes, I'll enumerate only user-visible changes:

- Delegated Administration

Allows regular users to perform ZFS operations, like file system
creation, snapshot creation, etc.

- L2ARC

Level 2 cache for ZFS - allows to use additional disks for cache.
Huge performance improvements mostly for random read of mostly
static content.

- slog

Allow to use additional disks for ZFS Intent Log to speed up
operations like fsync(2).

- vfs.zfs.super_owner

Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored
on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.

- chflags(2)

Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.

- ZFSBoot

Support to boot off of ZFS pool. Not finished, AFAIK.

- Snapshot properties

- New failure modes

Before if write requested failed, system paniced. Now one
can select from one of three failure modes:
- panic - panic on write error
- wait - wait for disk to reappear
- continue - serve read requests if possible, block write requests

- Refquota, refreservation properties

Just quota and reservation properties, but don't count space consumed
by children file systems, clones and snapshots.

- Sparse volumes

ZVOLs that don't reserve space in the pool.

- External attributes

Compatible with extattr(2).

- NFSv4-ACLs

Not sure about the status, might not be complete yet.
