9a689fb8f0 signals: fix SIGINT blocking flaw causing inconsistent metadata
SIGINT isn't blocked properly after a sigint_allow(),
sigint_restore() cycle leading to illicit interruptable
metadata updates.  These can leave corrupted metadata behind.

Issues addressed in this commit:

sigint_allow() fails to set _oldmasked[] members properly due
to an offset by one bug on indexing the members of the array.

It bails out prematurely comparing to MAX_SIGINTS causing nesting
depths to be one less than MAX_SIGINTS.  Fix the comparision.

Correct the related comparison flaw in sigint_restore().

Initialize all sig_atomic_t variables consequently.

06ce9b4e42 log: separate output and make it possible to use given FDs
Currently, the output is separated in 3 parts and each part can go into
a separate and user-defined file descriptor:

  - common output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_OUT_FD environment variable)
  - error output (stderr by default, customizable by LVM_ERR_FD environment variable)
  - report output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_REPORT_FD environment variable)

For example, each type of output goes to different output file:

  [0] fedora/~ # export LVM_REPORT_FD=3

  [0] fedora/~ # lvs fedora vg/abc 1>out 2>err 3>report

  [0] fedora/~ # cat out

  [0] fedora/~ # cat err
    Volume group "vg" not found
    Cannot process volume group vg

  [0] fedora/~ # cat report
    LV   VG     Attr       LSize   Layout     Role       CTime
    root fedora -wi-ao----  19.00g linear     public     Wed May 27 2015 08:09:21
    swap fedora -wi-ao---- 500.00m linear     public     Wed May 27 2015 08:09:21

Another example in LVM shell where the report goes to "report" file:

  [0] fedora/~ # export LVM_REPORT_FD=3
  [0] fedora/~ # lvm 3>report

  (in lvm shell)
  lvm> vgs

  (content of "report" file)
  [1] fedora/~ # cat report
    VG     #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
    fedora   1   2   0 wz--n- 19.49g    0

  (in lvm shell)
  lvm> lvs

  (content of "report" file)
  [1] fedora/~ # cat report
    VG     #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
    fedora   1   2   0 wz--n- 19.49g    0
    LV   VG     Attr       LSize   Layout     Role       CTime
    root fedora -wi-ao----  19.00g linear     public     Wed May 27 2015 08:09:21

9f28eb4c20 fix: make udev_get_library_context available also for non-udev compilations

returns NULL so we don't need to remember putting ifdef UDEV_SYNC_SUPPORT
in the code all the time we just need to check whether there's any udev

e5b686d693 tools: update for lvm2_disable_dmeventd_monitoring
Make lvm2_disable_dmeventd_monitoring() more explicit.

As memlock_inc_daemon() is also used by clvmd, which
does changes dmeventd and suspend ignore state at
some stages - make updates of these 2 variable
tied to the call of  lvm2_disable_dmeventd_monitoring().

Once this call is made dmeventd monitoring
and suspended devices are ignored.

9403edbb93 configure: relocate generated headers
Relocate generated configure.h and lvm-version.h outside
of compilable .c source tree.

The reason is behind - when compiling in builddir != srcdir
the generated file in lib/misc/configure.h was used for all compiled
source file except ones located in lib/misc dir - those would have used
configure.h file located in this dir - if there have existed one (i.e.
from some other build)

This problem was only visible, when srcdir == buildir was used before
trying to use  srcdri != builddir  (as configure.h appeared then in
srcdir).

82a27a85b5 macros: fix default symbol export control
Fix the version export macros to make it possible to export two
different DM_* versions of a symbol: currently it is only possible for a
DM_* symbol to override a symbol in Base. Attempting to export two
symbols at different DM_* version levels (e.g. DM_1_02_104 and
DM_1_02_106) leads to a linker error due to a duplicate symbol
definition.

This is because the DM_EXPORTED_SYMBOL macro makes each exported symbol
the default (@@VERSION):

       __asm__(".symver " #func "_v" #ver ", " #func "@@DM_" #ver )

Fix the macro to use a single '@' for a symbols exported in multiple
versions and rename the macros to DM_EXPORT_*:

  DM_EXPORT_SYMBOL(func,ver)
  DM_EXPORT_SYMBOL_BASE(func,ver)

For functions that have multiple implementations these macros control
symbol export and versioning.

Function definitions that exist in only one version never need to use
these macros.

Backwards compatible implementations must include a version tag of
the form "_v1_02_104" as a suffix to the function name and use the
macro DM_EXPORT_SYMBOL to export the function and bind it to the
specified version string.

Since versioning is only available when compiling with GCC the entire
compatibility version should be enclosed in '#if defined(__GNUC__)',
for example:

  int dm_foo(int bar)
  {
    return bar;
  }

  #if defined(__GNUC__)
  // Backward compatible dm_foo() version 1.02.104
  int dm_foo_v1_02_104(void);
  int dm_foo_v1_02_104(void)
  {
    return 0;
  }
  DM_EXPORT_SYMBOL(dm_foo,1_02_104)
  #endif

A prototype for the compatibility version is required as these
functions must not be declared static.

The DM_EXPORT_SYMBOL_BASE macro is only used to export the base
versions of library symbols prior to the introduction of symbol
versioning: it must never be used for new symbols.

a8b9e2eccd dmsetup: use timerfd for interval timing if available
If the Linux timerfd interface to POSIX timers is available at compile
time use it for all report interval timekeeping. This gives more
accurate interval timing when the per-interval processing time is less
than the configured interval and simplifies the timestamp bookkeeping
required to keep accurate time.

For systems without timerfd support fall back to the simple usleep based
timer.

797c18d543 libdm: new dm_task_get_info with internal_suspend
Introduce new implmentation of dm_task_get_info() function
with support for reading internal_suspend.
.
This time it is done in a 'versioned' way.

We keep the old fashion dm_task_get_info(Base) to implement
the old behavior of 1.02.95 libdm code.

libdm version 1.02.96 introduced 'macro' wrapper
dm_task_get_info_with_deferred_remove with new implementation
of dm_task_get_info() - we cannot do anything else then to
provide compatible version of this symbol.

Now in version 1.02.97 we add new versioned implementation of
dm_task_get_info(DM_1_02_97) symbol.

This has the effect that i.e. rpm build will finaly resolve proper
dependency on a new symbol - so it will be no longer possible,
to build a new binary and use old library
(rpm -q --provides will show libdevmapper.so.1.02(DM_1_02_97)(64bit))

Also the history is now tracked. If a new function is added (or
reimplemented), it needs to be placed in proper file,
so it could be exported with right versioning symbol.
File .exported_symbols.Base should and any existing older DM
should be treated as read-only after a release.

Also - only libdm has been currently enhanced with versioned .Base
file, as soon as other libs (liblvm, libdevmapper-event) needs changes
they should also get their exported symbol files - meanwhile
make.tmpl handles both cases.

1c7a509bed filters: add firmware RAID filter
Just like MD filtering that detects components of software RAID (md),
add detection for firmware RAID.

We're not adding any native code to detect this - there are lots of
firmware RAIDs out there which is just out of LVM scope. However,
with current changes with which we're able to get device info from
external sources (e.g. external_device_info_source="udev"), we can
do this easily if the external device status source has this kind
of information - which is the case of "udev" source where the results
of blkid scans are stored.

This detection should cover all firmware RAIDs that blkid can detect and
which are identified as:
  ID_FS_TYPE = {adaptec,ddf,hpt45x,hpt37x,isw,jmicron,lsi_mega,nvidia,promise_fasttrack,silicon_medley,via}_raid_member

e585a6bbcf signals: better nesting support
Support upto 3 levels os nesting signal blocking.
As of today - code blocks signals immediatelly when it opens
VG in read-write mode - this however makes current prompt usage
then partially unusable since user may not 'break' command
during prompt (something most user would expect).

Until a better fix for prompting is implemented, put in support
for signal nesting - thus when prompt enables signal acceptance,
make it possible to really break command at this point.

4cc5c689b8 thin: add pool uuid suffix for pool volume
Even though we make pool volume as a public visible LV,
we still do not want tools to look at this volume.

While we do not create /dev/vg/lv link, device is still
accessible via /dev/mapper/vg-lv and there is no easy
way to recognize it's private without lvm2 metadata.

Enhance UUID with -pool suffix and directly skip
any LV with a suffix in  device_is_usable() call.

TODO: enhance other targets with this logic.
blkid may probably use same simple logic.

90bbed3255 cache: New 'cachepool' segment type
This patch adds the new cachepool segment type - the first of two
necessary to eventually create 'cache' logical volumes.  In addition
to the new segment type, updates to makefiles, configure files, the
lv_segment struct, and some necessary libdevmapper flags.

The cachepool is the LV and corresponding segment type that will hold
all information pertinent to the cache itself - it's size, cachemode,
cache policy, core arguments (like migration_threshold), etc.

d5896f0afd Mirror: Fix hangs and lock-ups caused by attempting label reads of mirrors
There is a problem with the way mirrors have been designed to handle
failures that is resulting in stuck LVM processes and hung I/O.  When
mirrors encounter a write failure, they block I/O and notify userspace
to reconfigure the mirror to remove failed devices.  This process is
open to a couple races:
1) Any LVM process other than the one that is meant to deal with the
mirror failure can attempt to read the mirror, fail, and block other
LVM commands (including the repair command) from proceeding due to
holding a lock on the volume group.
2) If there are multiple mirrors that suffer a failure in the same
volume group, a repair can block while attempting to read the LVM
label from one mirror while trying to repair the other.

Mitigation of these races has been attempted by disallowing label reading
of mirrors that are either suspended or are indicated as blocking by
the kernel.  While this has closed the window of opportunity for hitting
the above problems considerably, it hasn't closed it completely.  This is
because it is still possible to start an LVM command, read the status of
the mirror as healthy, and then perform the read for the label at the
moment after a the failure is discovered by the kernel.

I can see two solutions to this problem:
1) Allow users to configure whether mirrors can be candidates for LVM
labels (i.e. whether PVs can be created on mirror LVs).  If the user
chooses to allow label scanning of mirror LVs, it will be at the expense
of a possible hang in I/O or LVM processes.
2) Instrument a way to allow asynchronous label reading - allowing
blocked label reads to be ignored while continuing to process the LVM
command.  This would action would allow LVM commands to continue even
though they would have otherwise blocked trying to read a mirror.  They
can then release their lock and allow a repair command to commence.  In
the event of #2 above, the repair command already in progress can continue
and repair the failed mirror.

This patch brings solution #1.  If solution #2 is developed later on, the
configuration option created in #1 can be negated - allowing mirrors to
be scanned for labels by default once again.
