gdb: add osv load-elf command

Sometimes one needs to load external ELF file which loader.py cannot
find automatically. For example when running an application which is
built outside OSv.

bsd: Implement some of the kobj functions

FreeBSD implements the kobj functions through the use of vnode operations,
whereas I simplified things by making use of system calls.
Otherwise, a bunch of code would have to be ported and adapted.
I'm only implementing here those needed by the function spa_config_load.

zfs: Re-enable spa_config_load

After the patch 'bsd: Implement kobj function set', spa_config_load can now be
re-enabled. spa_config_load is called during the spa (storage pool allocator)
initialization phase, i.e. spa_init(), and it's intended to populate the SPA
namespace with information stored in the pool configuration files.

The script basically stresses the ZFS dataset with misc-fs-stress, and
lately measures ZFS mount time.

zfs: Improve mount time when previous instance has performed I/O

This patch considerably improves ZFS mount time when the previous OSv
instance has performed some I/O.
I tried the same type of benchmark on ZFS on Linux, and the results have
shown that apparently it's not affected by the same problem.

After tracing and investigation, the result showed that the slowness exists
at spa_load_impl procedure, whose purpose is to load an existent storage
pool. Back in time, it was discussed in our mailing list about things being
unfinished in the storage pool, being carried over to the next OSv instance,
and consequently slowing down the next ZFS mount.

The overall problem is quite complex, and requires further investigation to
discover everything about. I'm here coming up with a temporary solution which
consists of syncing all the pools when the last ZFS dataset is being unmounted.

Result:

Add entries to .gitignore

Pekka is suspicious:

  OK, so why are we adding the above to to global osv.git ignore list?
  Neither of them are generated by the OS build system. If they bother
  your workflow, you can hide them in your local git configuration...

Raphael explains:

  The same applies to many files there :-) And it was already discussed
  that .gitignore could afford files that would make the OSv experience
  better.

  tracefile is always generated by the trace tool, and it just doesn't
  make sense to show it, imagine every new people to OSv needlessly
  having to add tracefile to their local git configuration.

Glauber wins:

  I agree with Raphael. We have discussed it before. This criteria of
  "generated by the build" is totally arbitrary. The real thing that
  matters is how many people are likely to have to do it locally.

  Those are quite pervasive files.

shrinkers: wake_waiters should be called when target is zero

__do_reclaim calls byte_until_normal() to get the target (amount
of memory to be freed), however, when there is no pressure in the
system, zero will be returned.

Going further, either ballooning or registered shrinkers will be
used to aliviate pressure, respectively.

On the latter case, _shrinker_loop will be called to go through
all the registered shrinkers asking each of them to release memory.
The problem is that our code currently assumes target being greater
than zero to wake the waiters after memory has been released, and
that will eventually block everything.

My solution is to call _oom_blocked.wake_waiters() even when target
is zero given that __do_reclaim wakes up even when there is no
memory pressure. Change was tested on memory-hog, which is a good
project to test and play with the shrinker infrastructure.
For those interested, follow: https://github.com/dmarti/memory-hog/
