Increase the minimum supported kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10.
This removes support for the following Linux enterprise distributions.
Distribution | Kernel | End of Life
---------------- | ------ | -------------
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 3.2 | Apr 28, 2017
SLES 11 | 3.0 | Mar 32, 2019
RHEL / CentOS 6 | 2.6.32 | Nov 30, 2020
The following changes were made as part of removing support.
* Updated `configure` to enforce a minimum kernel version as
specified in the META file (Linux-Minimum: 3.10).
configure: error:
*** Cannot build against kernel version 2.6.32.
*** The minimum supported kernel version is 3.10.
* Removed all `configure` kABI checks and matching C code for
interfaces which solely predate the Linux 3.10 kernel.
* Updated all `configure` kABI checks to fail when an interface is
missing which was in the 3.10 kernel up to the latest 5.1 kernel.
Removed the HAVE_* preprocessor defines for these checks and
updated the code to unconditionally use the verified interface.
* Inverted the detection logic in several kABI checks to match
the new interface as it appears in 3.10 and newer and not the
legacy interface.
* Consolidated the following checks in to individual files. Due
the large number of changes in the checks it made sense to handle
this now. It would be desirable to group other related checks in
the same fashion, but this as left as future work.
- config/kernel-blkdev.m4 - Block device kABI checks
- config/kernel-blk-queue.m4 - Block queue kABI checks
- config/kernel-bio.m4 - Bio interface kABI checks
* Removed the kABI checks for sops->nr_cached_objects() and
sops->free_cached_objects(). These interfaces are currently unused.

Closes#9566
Reduce the time required for ./configure to perform the needed
KABI checks by allowing kbuild to compile multiple test cases in
parallel. This was accomplished by splitting each test's source
code from the logic handling whether that code could be compiled
or not.
By introducing this split it's possible to minimize the number of
times kbuild needs to be invoked. As importantly, it means all of
the tests can be built in parallel. This does require a little extra
care since we expect some tests to fail, so the --keep-going (-k)
option must be provided otherwise some tests may not get compiled.
Furthermore, since a failure during the kbuild modpost phase will
result in an early exit; the final linking phase is limited to tests
which passed the initial compilation and produced an object file.
Once everything has been built the configure script proceeds as
previously. The only significant difference is that it now merely
needs to test for the existence of a .ko file to determine the
result of a given test. This vastly speeds up the entire process.
New test cases should use ZFS_LINUX_TEST_SRC to declare their test
source code and ZFS_LINUX_TEST_RESULT to check the result. All of
the existing kernel-*.m4 files have been updated accordingly, see
config/kernel-current-time.m4 for a basic example. The legacy
ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro has been kept to handle special cases
but it's use is not encouraged.

1. With various (debug and/or tracing?) kernel options enabled it's
possible for 'struct inode' and 'struct super_block' to exceed the
default frame size, leaving errors like this in config.log:
build/conftest.c:116:1: error: the frame size of 1048 bytes is larger
than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
Fix this by removing the frame size warning for config checks
2. Without the correct headers included, it's possible for declarations
to be missed, leaving errors like this in the config.log:
build/conftest.c:131:14: error: ‘struct nameidata’ declared inside
parameter list [-Werror]
Fix this by adding appropriate headers.
Note: Both these issues can result in silent config failures because
the compile failure is taken to mean "this option is not supported by
this kernel" rather than "there's something wrong with the config
test". This can lead to something merely annoying (compile failures) to
something potentially serious (miscompiled or misused kernel primitives
or functions). E.g. the fixes included here resulted in these
additional defines in zfs_config.h with linux v4.14.19:
Also, drive-by whitespace fixes in config/* files which don't mention
"GNU" (those ones look to be imported from elsewhere so leave them
alone).

Linux 3.14 introduces inode->set_acl(). Normally, acl modification will come
from setxattr, which will handle by the acl xattr_handler, and we already
handles that well. However, nfsd will directly calls inode->set_acl or
return error if it doesn't exists.

Originally, these two function are inline, so their usability is tied to
posix_acl_release. However, since Linux 3.14, they became EXPORT_SYMBOL, so we
can always use them. In this patch, we create an independent test for these
two functions so we can use them when possible.

Starting from Linux 4.7, get_acl will set acl cache pointer to temporary
sentinel value before calling i_op->get_acl. Therefore we can't compare
against ACL_NOT_CACHED and return.
Since from Linux 3.14, get_acl already check the cache for us, so we
disable this in zpl_get_acl.
Linux 4.7 also does set_cached_acl for us so we disable it in zpl_get_acl.

The posix_acl_valid() function has been updated to require a
user namespace. Filesystem callers should normally provide the
user_ns from the super block associcated with the ACL; the
zpl_posix_acl_valid() wrapper has been added for this purpose.

Issue #2124
This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr
which is common practice for many Linux file systems. Since the
Posix ACL is stored as an xattr it will not overwrite any existing
ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs which may have been set. The Posix ACL will also
be non-functional on other platforms although it may be visible
as an xattr if that platform understands SA based xattrs.
By default Posix ACLs are disabled but they may be enabled with
the new 'aclmode=noacl|posixacl' property. Set the property to
'posixacl' to enable them. If ZFS/NFSv4 ACL support is ever added
an appropriate acltype will be added.
This change passes the POSIX Test Suite cleanly with the exception
of xacl/00.t test 45 which is incorrect for Linux (Ext4 fails too).
