build: Remove systemtap references from source

2015-11-10T14:09:04+00:00

We don't actually support systemtap. And so it is confusing
to have --enable-systemtap configure option in configure.ac.
This patch removes the systemtap option and corresponding
references from other files which include INSTALL, spec.in,
docs etc.

libgfapi: adding 'follow' flag to glfs_h_lookupat()

2015-08-24T16:21:51+00:00

Previously glfs_h_lookupat won't follow the symlink, this patch
introduces new flag `follow` which will resolve the same. Applications
linking against the new library will need to use the new glfs_h_lookupat
API call.

In order to stay compatible with existing binaries that use the previous
glfs_h_lookupat() function, the old symbol needs to stay available.

Verification that there are two versions of glfs_h_lookupat:

  $ objdump -T /usr/lib64/libgfapi.so.0 | grep -w glfs_h_lookupat
  0000000000015070 g    DF .text  000000000000021e  GFAPI_3.7.4 glfs_h_lookupat
  0000000000015290 g    DF .text  0000000000000008 (GFAPI_3.4.2) glfs_h_lookupat

Testing with a binary (based on anonymous_fd_read_write.c from ./tests/)
that was linked against the old library:

  $ objdump -T ./lookupat | grep -w glfs_h_lookupat
  0000000000000000      DF *UND*  0000000000000000  GFAPI_3.4.2 glfs_h_lookupat

Enable debugging for 'ld.so' so that we can check that the GFAPI_3.4.2
version of the symbol gets loaded:

  $ export LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=lookupat.ld.log LD_DEBUG=all
  $ ./lookupat
  $ grep -w glfs_h_lookupat lookupat.ld.log.2543
  2543:     symbol=glfs_h_lookupat;  lookup in file=./lookupat [0]
  2543:     symbol=glfs_h_lookupat;  lookup in file=/lib64/libgfapi.so.0 [0]
  2543:     binding file ./lookupat [0] to /lib64/libgfapi.so.0 [0]: normal symbol `glfs_h_lookupat' [GFAPI_3.4.2]

glusterd: initialize the daemon services on demand

2015-07-27T07:14:01+00:00

As of now all the daemon services are initialized at glusterD init path. Since
socket file path of per node daemon demands the uuid of the node, MY_UUID macro
is invoked as part of the initialization.

The above flow breaks the usecases where a gluster image is built following a
template could be Dockerfile, Vagrantfile or any kind of virtualization
environment. This means bringing instances of this image would have same UUIDs
for the node resulting in peer probe failure.

Solution is to lazily initialize the services on demand.
