<content type='text'>
Some interdependencies between logging and memory management functions
make it impossible to use the logging framework before initializing
memory subsystem because they both depend on Thread Local Storage
allocated through pthread_key_create() during initialization.

This causes a crash when we try to log something very early in the
initialization phase.

To prevent this, several dynamically allocated TLS structures have
been replaced by static TLS reserved at compile time using '__thread'
keyword. This also reduces the number of error sources, making
initialization simpler.

<title>core: make gf_thread_create() easier to use</title>

This patch creates a specific function to set the thread name using a
string format and a variable argument list, like printf().

This function is used to set the thread name from gf_thread_create(),
which now accepts a variable argument list to create the full name. It's
not necessary anymore to use a local array to build the name of the
thread. This is done automatically.

A call to gf_backtrace_save() was done on each context switch of a
synctask. The backtrace is generated writing to the filesystem, so it
can have an important impact on latency.

The generated backtrace was not used anywhere, so it's been removed.

    * libglusterfs changes to add new fop

    * Fuse changes:
      - Changes in fuse bridge xlator to receive and send responses

    * posix changes to perform the op on the backend filesystem

    * protocol and rpc changes for sending and receiving the fop

    * gfapi changes for performing the fop

    * tools: glfs-copy-file-range tool for testing copy_file_range fop

      - Although, copy_file_range support has been added to the upstream
	    fuse kernel module, no release has been made yet of a kernel
        which contains the support. It is expected to come in the
        upcoming release of linux-4.20

        So, as of now, executing copy_file_range fop on a fused based
        filesystem results in fuse kernel module sending read on the
	    source fd and write on the destination fd.

	    Therefore a small gfapi based tool has been written to be able
        test the copy_file_range fop. This tool is similar (in functionality)
	    to the example program given in copy_file_range man page.

	    So, running regular copy_file_range on a fuse mount point and
	    running gfapi based glfs-copy-file-range tool gives some idea about
	    how fast, the copy_file_range (or reflink) can be.

	    On the local machine this was the result obtained.

	    mount -t glusterfs workstation:new /mnt/glusterfs
	    [root@workstation ~]# cd /mnt/glusterfs/
	    [root@workstation glusterfs]# ls
	    file
	    [root@workstation glusterfs]# cd
	    [root@workstation ~]# time /tmp/a.out /mnt/glusterfs/file /mnt/glusterfs/new
	    real  0m6.495s
	    user  0m0.000s
	    sys   0m1.439s
	    [root@workstation ~]# time glfs-copy-file-range $(hostname) new /tmp/glfs.log /file /rrr
	    OPEN_SRC: opening /file is success
	    OPEN_DST: opening /rrr is success
	    FSTAT_SRC: fstat on /rrr is success
	    copy_file_range successful

        real  0m0.309s
        user  0m0.039s
        sys   0m0.017s

        This tool needs following arguments
         1) hostname
         2) volume name
         3) log file path
         4) source file path (relative to the gluster volume root)
         5) destination file path (relative to the gluster volume root)

        "glfs-copy-file-range &lt;hostname&gt; &lt;volume&gt; &lt;log file path&gt; &lt;source&gt; &lt;destination&gt;"

      - Added a testcase as well to run glfs-copy-file-range tool

    * io-stats changes to capture the fop for profiling

    * NOTE:

      - Added conditional check to see whether the copy_file_range syscall
        is available or not. If not, then return ENOSYS.

      - Added conditional check for kernel minor version in fuse_kernel.h
        and fuse-bridge while referring to copy_file_range. And the kernel
        minor version is kept as it is. i.e. 24. Increment it in future
        when there is a kernel release which contains the support for
        copy_file_range fop in fuse kernel module.

    * The document which contains a writeup on this enhancement can be found at
      https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BSILbXr_knynNwxSyyu503JoTz5QFM_4suNIh2WwrSc/edit

<title>libglusterfs: Move devel headers under glusterfs directory</title>

libglusterfs devel package headers are referenced in code using
include semantics for a program, this while it works can be better
especially when dealing with out of tree xlator builds or in
general out of tree devel package usage.

Towards this, the following changes are done,
- moved all devel headers under a glusterfs directory
- Included these headers using system header notation &lt;&gt; in all
code outside of libglusterfs
- Included these headers using own program notation "" within
libglusterfs

This change although big, is just moving around the headers and
making it correct when including these headers from other sources.

This helps us correctly include libglusterfs includes without
namespace conflicts.

Starting in Fedora 26 which has gcc-7.1.x, -Wformat-trunction is enabled
with -Wformat, resulting in a flood of new warnings. This many warnings
is a concern because it makes it hard(er) to see other warnings that
should be addressed.

An example is at
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/glusterfs/3.12.0/1.fc28/data/logs/x86_64/build.log

For more info see https://review.gluster.org/#/c/18267/

I can't find much (or good) documentation on the heuristics the
compiler uses for this warning. In the case of printing integer types
it appears it looks at the available space in the destination and the
range of values for the variable and/or its type.

To address the specific question about why 0x3ff versus 0xfff to mask
the value, either would suffice to hint to the compiler that the
printed value will fit in three characters. But the loop is from
0...1023 (or 0...0x3ff if you prefer) so I chose that as a more
"accurate" mask to use as it exactly matches the range of values of
the loop.
