torvalds/linux@1dce27c5aa introduced __clear_close_on_exec() as a replacement for FD_CLR. Further commits appear to have removed FD_CLR from the Linux source tree. This causes the following failure: error: implicit declaration of function '__FD_CLR' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] To correct this we update the code to use the current __clear_close_on_exec() interface for readability. Then we introduce an autotools check to determine if __clear_close_on_exec() is available. If it isn't then we define some compatibility logic which used the older FD_CLR() interface.

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
