Use versioned symbols to keep libgfapi at libgfapi.so.0.0.0

Some nits uncovered:

+ there are a couple functions declared that do not have an
  associated definition, e.g. glfs_truncate(), glfs_caller_specific_init()

+ there are seven private/internal functions used by heal/src/glfsheal
  and the gfapi master xlator (glfs-master.c): glfs_loc_touchup(),
  glfs_active_subvol(), and glfs_subvol_done(), glfs_init_done(),
  glfs_resolve_at(), glfs_free_from_ctx(), and glfs_new_from_ctx();
  which are not declared in glfs.h;

+ for this initial pass at versioned symbols, we use the earliest version
  of all public symbols, i.e. those for which there are declarations in
  glfs.h or glfs-handles.h.
  Further investigation as we do backports to 3.6, 3.4, and 3.4
  will be required to determine if older implementations need to
  be preserved (forward ported) and their associated alias(es) and
  symbol version(s) defined.

FWIW, we should consider linking all of our libraries with a map, it'll
result in a cleaner ABI. Perhaps something for an intern to do or a
Google Summer of Code project.

<title>libgfapi:  Added support to fetch volume info from glusterd and store in glfs object.</title>

<id>5adb10b9ac1c634334f29732e062b12d747ae8c5</id>
<content type='text'>
Defined new APIs in the libgfapi module, given a glfs object,
 * to send handshake RPC call to glusterd process to fetch UUID of the volume
 * store it in the glusterfs_context linked to the glfs object.
 * to parse UUID from its cannonical string format into 16-byte array
   before sending it to the libgfapi users.

Defined a RPC call in glusterd which can be used to query volume related
info by other processes using 'clnt_handshake_procs'.

Note - Currently this RPC call to glusterd process is used only to fetch UUID.
But it can be extended to get other volume related structures as well.

In addition to the above, defined a new variable to keep track of such handshake
RPCs still in progress to make sure all the corresponding RPC callbacks have been
processed before libgfapi returns the glfs object initialized.

Also bumping up the GFAPI current version number since there is a new API
"glfs_get_volume_id" defined and exposed by libgfapi as part of these changes.

<id>8d55c25f158921b508bff0e7f25158991913f922</id>
<content type='text'>
Problem:
We found a day-1 bug when syncop_xxx() infra is used inside a synctask with
compilation optimization (CFLAGS -O2).

Detailed explanation of the Root cause:
We found the bug in 'gf_defrag_migrate_data' in rebalance operation:

Lets look at interesting parts of the function:

int
gf_defrag_migrate_data (xlator_t *this, gf_defrag_info_t *defrag, loc_t *loc,
                        dict_t *migrate_data)
{
.....
code section - [ Loop ]
        while ((ret = syncop_readdirp (this, fd, 131072, offset, NULL,
                                       &amp;entries)) != 0) {
.....
code section - [ ERRNO-1 ] (errno of readdirp is stored in readdir_operrno by a
thread)
                /* Need to keep track of ENOENT errno, that means, there is no
                   need to send more readdirp() */
                readdir_operrno = errno;
.....
code section - [ SYNCOP-1 ] (syncop_getxattr is called by a thread)
                        ret = syncop_getxattr (this, &amp;entry_loc, &amp;dict,
                                               GF_XATTR_LINKINFO_KEY);
code section - [ ERRNO-2]   (checking for failures of syncop_getxattr(). This
may not always be executed in same thread which executed [SYNCOP-1])
                        if (ret &lt; 0) {
                                if (errno != ENODATA) {
                                        loglevel = GF_LOG_ERROR;
                                        defrag-&gt;total_failures += 1;
.....
}

the function above could be executed by thread(t1) till [SYNCOP-1] and code
from [ERRNO-2] can be executed by a different thread(t2) because of the way
syncop-infra schedules the tasks.

when the code is compiled with -O2 optimization this is the assembly code that
is generated:
 [ERRNO-1]
1165                        readdir_operrno = errno; &lt;&lt;---- errno gets expanded
as *(__errno_location())
   0x00007fd149d48b60 &lt;+496&gt;:        callq  0x7fd149d410c0 &lt;address@hidden&gt;
   0x00007fd149d48b72 &lt;+514&gt;:        mov    %rax,0x50(%rsp) &lt;&lt;------ Address
returned by __errno_location() is stored in a special location in stack for
later use.
   0x00007fd149d48b77 &lt;+519&gt;:        mov    (%rax),%eax
   0x00007fd149d48b79 &lt;+521&gt;:        mov    %eax,0x78(%rsp)
....
 [ERRNO-2]
1281                                        if (errno != ENODATA) {
   0x00007fd149d492ae &lt;+2366&gt;:        mov    0x50(%rsp),%rax &lt;&lt;-----  Because
it already stored the address returned by __errno_location(), it just
dereferences the address to get the errno value. BUT THIS CODE NEED NOT BE
EXECUTED BY SAME THREAD!!!
   0x00007fd149d492b3 &lt;+2371&gt;:        mov    $0x9,%ebp
   0x00007fd149d492b8 &lt;+2376&gt;:        mov    (%rax),%edi
   0x00007fd149d492ba &lt;+2378&gt;:        cmp    $0x3d,%edi

The problem is that __errno_location() value of t1 and t2 are different. So
[ERRNO-2] ends up reading errno of t1 instead of errno of t2 even though t2 is
executing [ERRNO-2] code section.

When code is compiled without any optimization for [ERRNO-2]:
1281                                        if (errno != ENODATA) {
   0x00007fd58e7a326f &lt;+2237&gt;:        callq  0x7fd58e797300
&lt;address@hidden&gt;&lt;&lt;--- As it is calling __errno_location() again it gets the
location from t2 so it works as intended.
   0x00007fd58e7a3274 &lt;+2242&gt;:        mov    (%rax),%eax
   0x00007fd58e7a3276 &lt;+2244&gt;:        cmp    $0x3d,%eax
   0x00007fd58e7a3279 &lt;+2247&gt;:        je     0x7fd58e7a32a1
&lt;gf_defrag_migrate_data+2287&gt;

Fix:
Make syncop_xxx() return (-errno) value as the return value in
case of errors and all the functions which make syncop_xxx() will need to use
(-ret) to figure out the reason for failure in case of syncop_xxx() failures.

 [ERRNO-2]
1281                                        if (errno != ENODATA) {
   0x00007fd149d492ae &lt;+2366&gt;:        mov    0x50(%rsp),%rax &lt;&lt;-----  Because
it already stored the address returned by __errno_location(), it just
dereferences the address to get the errno value. BUT THIS CODE NEED NOT BE
EXECUTED BY SAME THREAD!!!
   0x00007fd149d492b3 &lt;+2371&gt;:        mov    $0x9,%ebp
   0x00007fd149d492b8 &lt;+2376&gt;:        mov    (%rax),%edi
   0x00007fd149d492ba &lt;+2378&gt;:        cmp    $0x3d,%edi

The problem is that __errno_location() value of t1 and t2 are different. So
[ERRNO-2] ends up reading errno of t1 instead of errno of t2 even though t2 is
executing [ERRNO-2] code section.

When code is compiled without any optimization for [ERRNO-2]:
1281                                        if (errno != ENODATA) {
   0x00007fd58e7a326f &lt;+2237&gt;:        callq  0x7fd58e797300
&lt;address@hidden&gt;&lt;&lt;--- As it is calling __errno_location() again it gets the
location from t2 so it works as intended.
   0x00007fd58e7a3274 &lt;+2242&gt;:        mov    (%rax),%eax
   0x00007fd58e7a3276 &lt;+2244&gt;:        cmp    $0x3d,%eax
   0x00007fd58e7a3279 &lt;+2247&gt;:        je     0x7fd58e7a32a1
&lt;gf_defrag_migrate_data+2287&gt;

Fix:
Make syncop_xxx() return (-errno) value as the return value in
case of errors and all the functions which make syncop_xxx() will need to use
(-ret) to figure out the reason for failure in case of syncop_xxx() failures.

There is an ongoing effort to integrate NFS Ganesha (
https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/wiki ) with GlusterFS as one of
the file system back ends.

Towards this we need extensions to gfapi that can handle object based
operations. Meaning, instead of using full paths or relative paths from
cwd, it is required that we can work with APIs, like the *at POSIX
variants, to be able to create, lookup, open etc. files and directories.
Hence the objects are the files or directories themselves and we give out
handles to these objects that can be used for further operations.

This code drop is an initial implementation of the proposed APIs.

The new APIs are implemented as glfs_h_XXX variants in the file
glfs-handleops.c to mirror glfs-fops.c style. The code leverages holding
onto inode references and doling these out as opaque/cookie type objects to
the callers, to enable them to be used as handles in other operations.

An fd based approach was considered, but due to the extra footprint that
the fd structure and its counterparts would incur, this was dropped to take
the approach of holding inode references themselves.

Tested by extending glfsxmp.c to invoke and exercise the added APIs, and
further tested with a reference integration of the same as an FSAL with NFS
Ganesha.

In case of nested symlink resolution, implement an upper
bound on the number of such nested levels the resolver will
descend. This limit is arbitrary, and set to 2048 nested
levels.

- Migrate open fds to new graph
- Migrate locks held in open fd to new fd
- Refresh CWD, so resolution of relative paths happens on refreshed
  inode (on new graph).
