OpenZFS on OS X

OK I have a new test build to try out, but APPLE isn't letting me notarize at the moment.

OK here is a build with corrected CPUid, which should enable AESni.

Let me know if you need a different version (catalina should install on newer too, right?)

Thank you much for tracking down the problem. I'm still on Mojave, but no need to make a special build. I can patiently wait for the next release.

I need to make sure it does fix it, and that it is faster - which is best done by whomever reported it

I'll spin up a Mojave pkg.

Hi lundman, I've installed the new package in my VM over the top of 2.1.0 but still see same version and sysctl output. Should there be a new version number with this build? Do I need to uninstall 2.1.0 first?

Code: Select all

russell@macos-catalina ~> zfs --version
zfs-macOS-2.1.0-1
zfs-kmod-2.1.0-1
russell@macos-catalina ~> sysctl kstat.zfs | grep "_impl:"
kstat.zfs.darwin.tunable.zfs_vdev_raidz_impl: cycle [fastest] original scalar sse2
kstat.zfs.darwin.tunable.icp_gcm_impl: cycle [fastest] generic
kstat.zfs.darwin.tunable.icp_aes_impl: cycle [fastest] generic x86_64
kstat.zfs.darwin.tunable.zfs_fletcher_4_impl: [fastest] scalar superscalar superscalar4 sse2


I've rolled my VM back to before zfs-2.1.0 was installed so did a fresh install of the 2.1.99 package but get the same output.

Ah hmm. Is it not updating cos the version is the same? or did I not pack it correctly?

Let me double check

OK can we check that

Code: Select all

# sysctl zfs.kext_version
zfs.kext_version: 2.1.99-102_gdbadb4efcb


then also check the logs from the kext loading message:

Code: Select all

2022-01-11 09:29:25.663 Df kernel.development[0:8cbcf] (zfs) <zfs`spl_cpuid_features (spl-processor.c:78)> spl_cpuid_features: FEATURES fffa320b1f8bfbff
2022-01-11 09:29:25.663 Df kernel.development[0:8cbcf] (zfs) <zfs`spl_cpuid_features (spl-processor.c:81)> AES is YES: testing bit 200000000000000
2022-01-11 09:29:25.663 Df kernel.development[0:8cbcf] (zfs) <zfs`spl_cpuid_features (spl-processor.c:88)> spl_cpuid_features: LEAF7    9c27ab


Which you can get by

log show --source --predicate 'sender == "zfs"' --style compact | grep spl_cpuid_features

In theory anyway, log show doesn't work for me, I use "log stream" and kextunload / kextload.

And I guess we should match that with

Code: Select all

# sysctl machdep.cpu.features machdep.cpu.leaf7_features

machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT SSE3 PCLMULQDQ MON SSSE3 FMA CX16 SSE4.1 SSE4.2 x2APIC MOVBE POPCNT AES VMM PCID XSAVE OSXSAVE TSCTMR AVX1.0 RDRAND F16C
machdep.cpu.leaf7_features: RDWRFSGS TSC_THREAD_OFFSET BMI1 AVX2 SMEP BMI2 ERMS INVPCID FPU_CSDS RDSEED ADX SMAP CLFSOPT MDCLEAR IBRS STIBP L1DF ACAPMSR SSBD


stored in EBX, EDX, ECX (in that order).

ohic - don't just assume they are sane Lundman.

Code: Select all

            _spl_cpuid(1, a, b, c, d);
            _spl_cpuid_features = d | (c << 32);


So that might be changed to a, b, d, c to follow suit.

OK, so now my machine says:

Code: Select all

(spl-processor.c:84)> spl_cpuid_features: FEATURES 1f8bfbfffffa320b
(spl-processor.c:87)> AES is YES: testing bit 200000000000000
(spl-processor.c:94)> spl_cpuid_features: LEAF7    bc000400009c27ab


Check with:

zfs.kext_version: 2.1.99-103_g6dfb6ddcc9

Hi Lundman,

I'm still only seeing 2.1.0 when doing a fresh install of the new 2.1.99 on my Catalina VM of the new package:

Code: Select all

russell@macos-catalina ~> zfs --version
zfs-macOS-2.1.0-1
zfs-kmod-2.1.0-1
russell@macos-catalina ~> sysctl zfs.kext_version
zfs.kext_version: 2.1.0-1
