Summary:
This patch addressed several issues.
Portability including db_test std::thread -> port::Thread Cc: @
and %z to ROCKSDB portable macro. Cc: maysamyabandeh
Implement Env::AreFilesSame
Make the implementation of file unique number more robust
Get rid of C-runtime and go directly to Windows API when dealing
with file primitives.
Implement GetSectorSize() and aling unbuffered read on the value if
available.
Adjust Windows Logger for the new interface, implement CloseImpl() Cc: anand1976
Fix test running script issue where $status var was of incorrect scope
so the failures were swallowed and not reported.
DestroyDB() creates a logger and opens a LOG file in the directory
being cleaned up. This holds a lock on the folder and the cleanup is
prevented. This fails one of the checkpoin tests. We observe the same in production.
We close the log file in this change.
Fix DBTest2.ReadAmpBitmapLiveInCacheAfterDBClose failure where the test
attempts to open a directory with NewRandomAccessFile which does not
work on Windows.
Fix DBTest.SoftLimit as it is dependent on thread timing. CC: yiwu-arbug

Summary:
Red diff to remove existing implementation of garbage collection. The current approach is reference counting kind of approach and require a lot of effort to get the size counter right on compaction and deletion. I'm going to go with a simple mark-sweep kind of approach and will send another PR for that.
CompactionEventListener was added solely for blob db and it adds complexity and overhead to compaction iterator. Removing it as well.

calling the CloseImpl() virtual function from the destructor, which will
not work. Refactor the implementation to have a private close helper

the destructor.

Summary:
Deadlock: a memtable flush holds DB::mutex_ and calls ThreadLocalPtr::Scrape(), which locks ThreadLocalPtr mutex; meanwhile, a thread exit handler locks ThreadLocalPtr mutex and calls SuperVersionUnrefHandle, which tries to lock DB::mutex_.
This deadlock is hit all the time on our workload. It blocks our release.
In general, the problem is that ThreadLocalPtr takes an arbitrary callback and calls it while holding a lock on a global mutex. The same global mutex is (at least in some cases) locked by almost all ThreadLocalPtr methods, on any instance of ThreadLocalPtr. So, there'll be a deadlock if the callback tries to do anything to any instance of ThreadLocalPtr, or waits for another thread to do so.
So, probably the only safe way to use ThreadLocalPtr callbacks is to do only do simple and lock-free things in them.
This PR fixes the deadlock by making sure that local_sv_ never holds the last reference to a SuperVersion, and therefore SuperVersionUnrefHandle never has to do any nontrivial cleanup.
I also searched for other uses of ThreadLocalPtr to see if they may have similar bugs. There's only one other use, in transaction_lock_mgr.cc, and it looks fine.

Summary:
Calling `std::vector::reserve()` causes memory to be reallocated and then data to be moved. It was called prior to adding every block. This reallocation could be done a huge amount of times, e.g., for users with large index blocks.
Instead, we can simply use `std::vector::emplace_back()` in such a way that preserves the no-memory-leak guarantee, while letting the vector decide when to reallocate space. Now I see reallocation/moving happen O(logN) times, rather than O(N) times, where N is the final size of vector.

Summary:
`ReadaheadRandomAccessFile` is used by iterators for file reads in several cases, like in compaction when `compaction_readahead_size > 0` or `use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction == true`, or in user iterator when `ReadOptions::readahead_size > 0`. `ReadaheadRandomAccessFile` maintains an internal buffer for readahead data. It assumes that, if the buffer's length is less than `ReadaheadRandomAccessFile::readahead_size_`, which is fixed in the constructor, then EOF has been reached so it doesn't try reading further.
Recently, d938226af4 started calling `RandomAccessFile::Prefetch` with various lengths: 8KB, 16KB, etc. When the `RandomAccessFile` is a `ReadaheadRandomAccessFile`, it triggers the above condition and incorrectly determines EOF. If a block is partially in the readahead buffer and EOF is incorrectly decided, the result is a truncated data block.
The problem is reproducible:
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/data/compaction_bench ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -write_buffer_size=1048576 -target_file_size_base=1048576 -block_size=18384 -use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction=true

Summary:
Currently, the only way to close an open DB is to destroy the DB
object. There is no way for the caller to know the status. In one
instance, the destructor encountered an error due to failure to
close a log file on HDFS. In order to prevent silent failures, we add
DB::Close() that calls CloseImpl() which must be implemented by its
descendants.
The main failure point in the destructor is closing the log file. This
patch also adds a Close() entry point to Logger in order to get status.
When DBOptions::info_log is allocated and owned by the DBImpl, it is
explicitly closed by DBImpl::CloseImpl().

Summary:
**# Summary**
RocksDB uses SSE crc32 intrinsics to calculate the crc32 values but it does it in single way fashion (not pipelined on single CPU core). Intel's whitepaper () published an algorithm that uses 3-way pipelining for the crc32 intrinsics, then use pclmulqdq intrinsic to combine the values. Because pclmulqdq has overhead on its own, this algorithm will show perf gains on buffers larger than 216 bytes, which makes RocksDB a perfect user, since most of the buffers RocksDB call crc32c on is over 4KB. Initial db_bench show tremendous CPU gain.
This change uses the 3-way SSE algorithm by default. The old SSE algorithm is now behind a compiler tag NO_THREEWAY_CRC32C. If user compiles the code with NO_THREEWAY_CRC32C=1 then the old SSE Crc32c algorithm would be used. If the server does not have SSE4.2 at the run time the slow way (Non SSE) will be used.
**# Performance Test Results**
We ran the FillRandom and ReadRandom benchmarks in db_bench. ReadRandom is the point of interest here since it calculates the CRC32 for the in-mem buffers. We did 3 runs for each algorithm.
Before this change the CRC32 value computation takes about 11.5% of total CPU cost, and with the new 3-way algorithm it reduced to around 4.5%. The overall throughput also improved from 25.53MB/s to 27.63MB/s.

Some of the ways in which the fifo compaction options can be set are:
- `SetOptions({{"compaction_options_fifo", "{max_table_files_size=1024}"}})`
- `SetOptions({{"compaction_options_fifo", "{ttl=600;}"}})`
- `SetOptions({{"compaction_options_fifo", "{max_table_files_size=1024;ttl=600;}"}})`
- `SetOptions({{"compaction_options_fifo", "{max_table_files_size=51;ttl=49;allow_compaction=true;}"}})`
Most of the code has been made generic enough so that it could be reused later to make universal options (and other such nested defined-types) dynamic with very few lines of parsing/serializing code changes.
Introduced a few new functions like `ParseStruct`, `SerializeStruct` and `GetStringFromStruct`.
The duplicate code in `GetStringFromDBOptions` and `GetStringFromColumnFamilyOptions` has been moved into `GetStringFromStruct`. So they become just simple wrappers now.

Summary:
if we enable SSE42 globally when compiling the tree for preparing a
portable binary, which could be running on CPU w/o SSE42 instructions
even the GCC on the building host is able to emit SSE42 code, this leads
to illegal instruction errors on machines not supporting SSE42. to solve
this problem, crc32 detects the supported instruction at runtime, and
selects the supported CRC32 implementation according to the result of
`cpuid`. but intrinics like "_mm_crc32_u64()" will not be available
unless the "target" machine is appropriately specified in the command
line, like "-msse42", or using the "target" attribute.
we could pass "-msse42" only when compiling crc32c.cc, and allow the
compiler to generate the SSE42 instructions, but we are still at the
risk of executing illegal instructions on machines does not support
SSE42 if the compiler emits code that is not guarded by our runtime
detection. and we need to do the change in both Makefile and CMakefile.
or, we can use GCC's "target" attribute to enable the machine specific
instructions on certain function. in this way, we have finer grained
control of the used "target". and no need to change the makefiles. so
we don't need to duplicate the changes on both makefile and cmake as
the previous approach.
this problem surfaces when preparing a package for GNU/Linux distribution,
and we only applies to optimization for SSE42, so using a feature
only available on GCC/Clang is not that formidable.
