WITHOUT_LIBTHR has been broken for a little over five years now, since the
xz 5.2.0 update introduced a hard liblzma dependency on libthr, and building
a useful system without threading support is becoming increasingly more
difficult.
Additionally, in the five plus years that it's been broken more reverse
dependencies have cropped up in libzstd, libsqlite3, and libcrypto (among
others) that make it more and more difficult to reconcile the effort needed
to fix these options.
Remove the broken options.

The primary benefit is maintaining a completely shared
code base with the community allowing FreeBSD to receive
new features sooner and with less effort.
I would advise against doing 'zpool upgrade'
or creating indispensable pools using new
features until this change has had a month+
to soak.
Work on merging FreeBSD support in to what was
at the time "ZFS on Linux" began in August 2018.
I first publicly proposed transitioning FreeBSD
to (new) OpenZFS on December 18th, 2018. FreeBSD
support in OpenZFS was finally completed in December
2019. A CFT for downstreaming OpenZFS support in
to FreeBSD was first issued on July 8th. All issues
that were reported have been addressed or, for
a couple of less critical matters there are
pull requests in progress with OpenZFS. iXsystems
has tested and dogfooded extensively internally.
The TrueNAS 12 release is based on OpenZFS with
some additional features that have not yet made
it upstream.
Improvements include:
project quotas, encrypted datasets,
allocation classes, vectorized raidz,
vectorized checksums, various command line
improvements, zstd compression.
Thanks to those who have helped along the way:
Ryan Moeller, Allan Jude, Zack Welch, and many
others.

directories to SUBDIR.${MK_TESTS} idiom
This is being done to pave the way for future work (and homogenity) in
^/projects/make-check-sandbox .
No functional change intended.

This change adds tests/ directories in the source tree to create various
subdirectories in /usr/tests/ and to install placeholder Kyuafiles for
them.
the relevant hierarchies are: cddl, etc, games, gnu and secure.
The reason for this is to simplify the addition of new test programs for
utilities or libraries under any of these directories. Doing so on a
case by case basis is unnecessary and is quite an obscure process.
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.
MFC after: 1 month
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.
Submitted by: trasz
- Creation-time properties
- Regression tests for zpool(8) command.
Obtained from: OpenSolaris
implementing some of them using existing ones.
- Allow to compile ZFS on all archs and use atomic operations surrounded
by global mutex on archs we don't have or can't have all atomic
operations needed by ZFS.
There are some insignificant non-style changes as well.
Not fixed: makefiles use ${LIBTHR} that doesn't exist, thus
breaking "make checkdpadd" and not tracking dependencies
properly.
Approved by: pjd
ZFS file system was ported from OpenSolaris operating system. The code in under
CDDL license.
I'd like to thank all SUN developers that created this great piece of software.
