<title>generic syscalls: kill cruft from removed pkey syscalls</title>

pkey_set() and pkey_get() were syscalls present in older versions
of the protection keys patches.  They were fully excised from the
x86 code, but some cruft was left in the generic syscall code.  The
C++ comments were intended to help to make it more glaring to me to
fix them before actually submitting them.  That technique worked,
but later than I would have liked.

I test-compiled this for arm64.

    &lt; XFS has gained super CoW powers! &gt;
     ----------------------------------

             \  (oo)\_______
                (__)\       )\/\

Pull XFS support for shared data extents from Dave Chinner:
 "This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle.  This
  pullreq contains the new shared data extents feature for XFS.

  Given the complexity and size of this change I am expecting - like the
  addition of reverse mapping last cycle - that there will be some
  follow-up bug fixes and cleanups around the -rc3 stage for issues that
  I'm sure will show up once the code hits a wider userbase.

  What it is:

  At the most basic level we are simply adding shared data extents to
  XFS - i.e. a single extent on disk can now have multiple owners. To do
  this we have to add new on-disk features to both track the shared
  extents and the number of times they've been shared. This is done by
  the new "refcount" btree that sits in every allocation group. When we
  share or unshare an extent, this tree gets updated.

  Along with this new tree, the reverse mapping tree needs to be updated
  to track each owner or a shared extent. This also needs to be updated
  ever share/unshare operation. These interactions at extent allocation
  and freeing time have complex ordering and recovery constraints, so
  there's a significant amount of new intent-based transaction code to
  ensure that operations are performed atomically from both the runtime
  and integrity/crash recovery perspectives.

  We also need to break sharing when writes hit a shared extent - this
  is where the new copy-on-write implementation comes in. We allocate
  new storage and copy the original data along with the overwrite data
  into the new location. We only do this for data as we don't share
  metadata at all - each inode has it's own metadata that tracks the
  shared data extents, the extents undergoing CoW and it's own private
  extents.

  Of course, being XFS, nothing is simple - we use delayed allocation
  for CoW similar to how we use it for normal writes. ENOSPC is a
  significant issue here - we build on the reservation code added in
  4.8-rc1 with the reverse mapping feature to ensure we don't get
  spurious ENOSPC issues part way through a CoW operation. These
  mechanisms also help minimise fragmentation due to repeated CoW
  operations. To further reduce fragmentation overhead, we've also
  introduced a CoW extent size hint, which indicates how large a region
  we should allocate when we execute a CoW operation.

  With all this functionality in place, we can hook up .copy_file_range,
  .clone_file_range and .dedupe_file_range and we gain all the
  capabilities of reflink and other vfs provided functionality that
  enable manipulation to shared extents. We also added a fallocate mode
  that explicitly unshares a range of a file, which we implemented as an
  explicit CoW of all the shared extents in a file.

  As such, it's a huge chunk of new functionality with new on-disk
  format features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as
  an experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all
  new on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
  userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
  download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
  access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
  Initial userspace support will be released at the same time the kernel
  with this code in it is released.

  The new code causes 5-6 new failures with xfstests - these aren't
  serious functional failures but things the output of tests changing
  slightly due to perturbations in layouts, space usage, etc. OTOH,
  we've added 150+ new tests to xfstests that specifically exercise this
  new functionality so it's got far better test coverage than any
  functionality we've previously added to XFS.

  Darrick has done a pretty amazing job getting us to this stage, and
  special mention also needs to go to Christoph (review, testing,
  improvements and bug fixes) and Brian (caught several intricate bugs
  during review) for the effort they've also put in.

  Summary:

   - unshare range (FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE) support for fallocate

   - copy-on-write extent size hints (FS_XFLAG_COWEXTSIZE) for fsxattr
     interface

   - shared extent support for XFS

   - copy-on-write support for shared extents

   - copy_file_range support

   - clone_file_range support (implements reflink)

   - dedupe_file_range support

   - defrag support for reverse mapping enabled filesystems"

Pull XFS support for shared data extents from Dave Chinner:
 "This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle.  This
  pullreq contains the new shared data extents feature for XFS.

  Given the complexity and size of this change I am expecting - like the
  addition of reverse mapping last cycle - that there will be some
  follow-up bug fixes and cleanups around the -rc3 stage for issues that
  I'm sure will show up once the code hits a wider userbase.

  What it is:

  At the most basic level we are simply adding shared data extents to
  XFS - i.e. a single extent on disk can now have multiple owners. To do
  this we have to add new on-disk features to both track the shared
  extents and the number of times they've been shared. This is done by
  the new "refcount" btree that sits in every allocation group. When we
  share or unshare an extent, this tree gets updated.

  Along with this new tree, the reverse mapping tree needs to be updated
  to track each owner or a shared extent. This also needs to be updated
  ever share/unshare operation. These interactions at extent allocation
  and freeing time have complex ordering and recovery constraints, so
  there's a significant amount of new intent-based transaction code to
  ensure that operations are performed atomically from both the runtime
  and integrity/crash recovery perspectives.

  We also need to break sharing when writes hit a shared extent - this
  is where the new copy-on-write implementation comes in. We allocate
  new storage and copy the original data along with the overwrite data
  into the new location. We only do this for data as we don't share
  metadata at all - each inode has it's own metadata that tracks the
  shared data extents, the extents undergoing CoW and it's own private
  extents.

  Of course, being XFS, nothing is simple - we use delayed allocation
  for CoW similar to how we use it for normal writes. ENOSPC is a
  significant issue here - we build on the reservation code added in
  4.8-rc1 with the reverse mapping feature to ensure we don't get
  spurious ENOSPC issues part way through a CoW operation. These
  mechanisms also help minimise fragmentation due to repeated CoW
  operations. To further reduce fragmentation overhead, we've also
  introduced a CoW extent size hint, which indicates how large a region
  we should allocate when we execute a CoW operation.

  With all this functionality in place, we can hook up .copy_file_range,
  .clone_file_range and .dedupe_file_range and we gain all the
  capabilities of reflink and other vfs provided functionality that
  enable manipulation to shared extents. We also added a fallocate mode
  that explicitly unshares a range of a file, which we implemented as an
  explicit CoW of all the shared extents in a file.

  As such, it's a huge chunk of new functionality with new on-disk
  format features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as
  an experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all
  new on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
  userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
  download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
  access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
  Initial userspace support will be released at the same time the kernel
  with this code in it is released.

  The new code causes 5-6 new failures with xfstests - these aren't
  serious functional failures but things the output of tests changing
  slightly due to perturbations in layouts, space usage, etc. OTOH,
  we've added 150+ new tests to xfstests that specifically exercise this
  new functionality so it's got far better test coverage than any
  functionality we've previously added to XFS.

  Darrick has done a pretty amazing job getting us to this stage, and
  special mention also needs to go to Christoph (review, testing,
  improvements and bug fixes) and Brian (caught several intricate bugs
  during review) for the effort they've also put in.

  Summary:

   - unshare range (FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE) support for fallocate

   - copy-on-write extent size hints (FS_XFLAG_COWEXTSIZE) for fsxattr
     interface

   - shared extent support for XFS

   - copy-on-write support for shared extents

   - copy_file_range support

   - clone_file_range support (implements reflink)

   - dedupe_file_range support

   - defrag support for reverse mapping enabled filesystems"
