Add a DEBUG mode-only sysfs knob to enable forced buffered write
failure. An additional side effect of this mode is brute force killing
of delayed allocation blocks in the range of the write. The latter is
the prime motiviation behind this patch, as userspace test
infrastructure requires a reliable mechanism to create and split
delalloc extents without causing extent conversion.
Certain fallocate operations (i.e., zero range) were used for this in
the past, but the implementations have changed such that delalloc
extents are flushed and converted to real blocks, rendering the test
useless.

XFS now uses CRC verification over a limited section of the log to
detect torn writes prior to a crash. This is difficult to test directly
due to the timing and hardware requirements to cause a short write.
Add a mechanism to inject CRC errors into log records to facilitate
testing torn write detection during log recovery. This mechanism is
dangerous and can result in filesystem corruption. Thus, it is only
available in DEBUG mode for testing/development purposes. Set a non-zero
value to the following sysfs entry to enable error injection:
/sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/log/log_badcrc_factor
Once enabled, XFS intentionally writes an invalid CRC to a log record at
some random point in the future based on the provided frequency. The
filesystem immediately shuts down once the record has been written to
the physical log to prevent metadata writeback (e.g., AIL insertion)
once the log write completes. This helps reasonably simulate a torn
write to the log as the affected record must be safe to discard. The
next mount after the intentional shutdown requires log recovery and
should detect and recover from the torn write.
Note again that this _will_ result in data loss or worse. For testing
and development purposes only!

This patch is the next step toward per-fs xfs stats. The patch makes
the show and clear routines able to handle any stats structure
associated with a kobject.
Instead of a single global xfsstats structure, add kobject and a pointer
to a per-cpu struct xfsstats. Modify the macros that manipulate the stats
accordingly: XFS_STATS_INC, XFS_STATS_DEC, and XFS_STATS_ADD now access
xfsstats->xs_stats.
The sysfs functions need to get from the kobject back to the xfsstats
structure which contains it, and pass the pointer to the ->xs_stats
percpu structure into the show & clear routines.

XFS log recovery has been discovered to have race conditions with
buffers when I/O errors occur. External tools are available to simulate
I/O errors to XFS, but this alone is not sufficient for testing log
recovery. XFS unconditionally resets the inactive region of the log
prior to log recovery to avoid confusion over processing any partially
written log records that might have been written before an unclean
shutdown. Therefore, unconditional write I/O failures at mount time are
caught by the reset sequence rather than log recovery and hinder the
ability to test the latter.
The device-mapper dm-flakey module uses an up/down timer to define a
cycle for when to fail I/Os. Create a pre log recovery delay tunable
that can be used to coordinate XFS log recovery with I/O errors
simulated by dm-flakey. This facilitates coordination in userspace that
allows the reset of stale log blocks to succeed and writes due to log
recovery to fail. For example, define a dm-flakey instance with an
uptime long enough to allow log reset to succeed and a log recovery
delay long enough to allow the dm-flakey uptime to expire.
The 'log_recovery_delay' sysfs tunable is exported under
/sys/fs/xfs/debug and is only enabled for kernels compiled in XFS debug
mode. The value is exported in units of seconds and allows for a delay
of up to 60 seconds. Note that this is for XFS debug and test
instrumentation purposes only and should not be used by applications. No
delay is enabled by default.

Create a top-level debug directory for global debug sysfs attributes.
This directory is added and removed on XFS module initialization and
removal respectively for DEBUG mode kernels only. It typically resides
at /sys/fs/xfs/debug. It is located at the top level of the xfs sysfs
hierarchy as attributes might define global behavior or behavior that
must be configured before an xfs mount is available (e.g., log recovery
behavior).
Define the global debug kobject that represents the debug sysfs
directory and add generic attribute show/store helpers to support future
attributes. No debug attributes are exported as of yet.

Create log attributes to export the current runtime state of the log to
sysfs. Note that the filesystem should be frozen for consistency across
attributes.
The following per-mount attributes are created: log_head_lsn,
log_tail_lsn, reserve_grant_head and write_grant_head. These represent
the physical log head, tail and reserve and write grant heads
respectively. Attribute values are exported in the following format:
"cycle:[block,byte]"
... where cycle represents the log cycle and [block,bytes] represents
either the basic block or byte offset of the log, depending on the
attribute. Log sequence number (LSN) values are encoded in basic blocks
and grant heads are encoded in bytes. All values are in decimal format.

Embed a base kobject into xfs_mount. This creates a kobject associated
with each XFS mount and a subdirectory in sysfs with the name of the
filesystem. The subdirectory lifecycle matches that of the mount. Also
add the new xfs_sysfs.[c,h] source files with some XFS sysfs
infrastructure to facilitate attribute creation.
Note that there are currently no attributes exported as part of the
xfs_mount kobject. It exists solely to serve as a per-mount container
for child objects.
