2b3a4adff8 Change default alignment of pe_start to 1MB.
The new standard in the storage industry is to default alignment of data
areas to 1MB.  fdisk, parted, and mdadm have all been updated to this
default.

Update LVM to align the PV's data area start (pe_start) to 1MB.  This
provides a more useful default than the previous default of 64K (which
generally ended up being a 192K pe_start once the first metadata area
was created).

Before this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
  PV         VMdaSize  1st PE
  /dev/sdd     188.00k 192.00k

After this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
  PV         VMdaSize  1st PE
  /dev/sdd    1020.00k   1.00m

The heuristic for setting the default alignment for LVM data areas is:
- If the default value (1MB) is a multiple of the detected alignment
  then just use the default.
- Otherwise, use the detected value.

In practice this means we'll almost always use 1MB -- that is unless:
- the alignment was explicitly specified with --dataalignment
- or MD's full stripe width, or the {minimum,optimal}_io_size exceeds
  1MB
- or the specified/detected value is not a power-of-2

de49d45568 Require --restorefile when using pvcreate --uuid.
Introduce --norestorefile to allow user to override the new requirement.

This can also be overridden with "devices/require_restorefile_with_uuid"
in lvm.conf -- however the default is 1.

2db34bd266 INSTALL rules updates
Patch is inspired by Debian's extra patch.

- removes OWNER & GROUP make vars they are parts of INSTALL command.
- adds INSTALL_PROGRAM for executable, uses $(INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_DATA for non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_WDATA for writable non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds configure option --enable-write_install - to support
  installatin of writable files used by distribution
- replaces usage of ifeq @LIB_SUFFIX@ with $(LIB_SUFFIX)
- installs .a files from static builds without executable flag
- installs .a files to $(usrlibdir) instead of $(libdir)
- installs all static binaries to $(staticdir)
- create .so links for devel package in $(usrlibdir) instead of
  $(libdir)
- makes .so and .so.LIB_VERSION files within builddir
- removes VERSIONED_SHLIB and created versioned LIB_SHARED automagicaly
- install LIB_SHARED via install_lib_shared target
- install plugins via install_lib_shared_plugin target
- prints whole 'install' command during installation instead of less
  informative "Installing  $(something) $(somewhere)"
- install multiple man pages with one INSTALL command
- use DISTCLEAN_TARGETS instead of creating multiple distclean targets

f3491d93a0 Use vpath instead of VPATH.
Usage of VPATH makes troubles when used within $(builddir).
Not only source files are being found through VPATH,
but targets as well. (make --debug=v)

Thus if user builds the code in $(srcdir) and also in some $(builddir)
he gets mangled results as some generated files (i.e. .export.sym)
are 'reused' from $(srcdir) instead of $(builddir).

This patch switches to use vpath were we could explicitly name
suffixes that should be looked via vpath - we must take care,
we do not generate files with these suffixes:
.c, .in, .po, .exported_symbols

0c897ecefd mlockall() -> mlock()
This patch adds a new implementation of locking function instead
of mlockall() that may lock way too much memory (>100MB).
New function instead uses mlock() system call and selectively locks
memory areas from /proc/self/maps trying to avoid locking areas
unused during lock-ed state.

Patch also adds struct cmd_context to all memlock() calls to have
access to configuration.

For backward compatibility functionality of mlockall()
is preserved with "activation/use_mlockall" flag.

As a simple check, locking and unlocking counts the amount of memory
and compares whether values are matching.

4422423315 Add devices/data_alignment_detection to lvm.conf.
Adds 'data_alignment_detection' config option to the devices section of
lvm.conf.  If your kernel provides topology information in sysfs (linux
>= 2.6.31) for the Physical Volume, the start of data area will be
aligned on a multiple of the ’minimum_io_size’ or ’optimal_io_size’
exposed in sysfs.

minimum_io_size is used if optimal_io_size is undefined (0).  If both
md_chunk_alignment and data_alignment_detection are enabled the result
of data_alignment_detection is used.

d57543b220 Introduce lvm2_install target.
Buildsystem support device-mapper only install,
but generic install tagret includes both dm+lvm2.

For distribution which uses separate install_device-mapper,
there is no way how to install lvm2 only
(so after installing lvm2 for packaging purposes
built system must remove installed device-mapper files).

Fix it by allowing lvm2_install target, similarily like
install_cluster for clvmd.

(install = install_device-mapper + install_lvm2)

b49362420c Add --dataalignment to pvcreate to specify alignment of data area. (mbroz)
This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed.

Intended behaviour of the code now:

  pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.

  In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.

  Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0.  As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).
