When ecryptfs_lookup() is called against special files, eCryptfs generates
the following errors because it tries to treat them like regular eCryptfs
files.
Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xffff810233a6f150], lower_mnt [0xffff810235bb4c80], and flags
[0x8000]
Error opening lower_file to read header region
Error attempting to read the [user.ecryptfs] xattr from the lower file; return value = [-95]
Valid metadata not found in header region or xattr region; treating file as unencrypted
For instance, the problem can be reproduced by the steps below.
# mkdir /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
# mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
# mknod /mnt/crypt/c0 c 0 0
# umount /mnt/crypt
# mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
# ls -l /mnt/crypt
This patch fixes it by adding a check similar to directories and

This builds upon my previous attempts to resolve some jitter problems seen
with the Matrox G450 and G550 -based cards, including odd disparities observed
between x86 and Power -based machines in a somewhat less hackish way (removing
the hacked ifdefs).
Apparently, preference should be given to use the DVI PLL when frequencies
permit, the Standard PLL otherwise. The max pixel clock for the panellink
interface is extracted from the PInS information on the card and used as a
limit to determine which PLL to use.

Testing shows that it seems to work pretty well at 16bpp, 24bpp and 32bpp -
including proper rendering of the boot logo at all levels (previously this was
a bit broken even at 16bpp) and giving white against black text. Really
detailed testing (eg with X11) requires support for the maple bus - which
isn't (currently - next project assuming this is okay) available, but I have

Visualize-EG, Graffiti and A4450A graphics cards on PARISC can
be configured in double-buffer and standard mode, but the stifb
driver supports standard mode only.
This patch detects double-buffered cards more reliable.
It is a real bugfix for a very nasty problem for all parisc users which have
wrongly configured their graphic card. The problem: The stifb graphics driver
will not detect that the card is wrongly configured and then nevertheless just
enables the graphics mode, which it shouldn't. In the end, the user will see
no further updates / boot messages on the screen.
We had documented this problem already on our FAQ
(http://parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html#viseg "Why do I get corrupted graphics
with my Vis-EG/Graffiti/A4450A card?") but people still run into this problem.
So having this fix in as early as possible can help us.

I have had four seperate system lockups attributable to this exact problem
in two days of testing. Instead of trying to handle all the weird end
cases and wrap, how about changing it to look for exactly what we appear
to want.
The following patch removes a couple races in setup_APIC_timer. One occurs
when the HPET advances the COUNTER past the T0_CMP value between the time
the T0_CMP was originally read and when COUNTER is read. This results in
a delay waiting for the counter to wrap. The other results from the counter
wrapping.
This change takes a snapshot of T0_CMP at the beginning of the loop and
simply loops until T0_CMP has changed (a tick has happened).
<later>
I have one small concern about the patch. I am not sure it meets the intent
as well as it should. I think we are trying to match APIC timer interrupts up
with the hpet counter increment. The event which appears to be disturbing
this loop in our test environment is the NMI watchdog. What we believe has
been happening with the existing code is the setup_APIC_timer loop has read
the CMP value, and the NMI watchdog code fires for the first time. This
results in a series of icache miss slowdowns and by the time we get back to
things it has wrapped.
I think this code is trying to get the CMP as close to the counter value as
possible. If that is the intent, maybe we should really be testing against a
"window" around the CMP. Something like COUNTER = CMP+/2. It appears COUNTER
should get advanced every 89nSec (IIRC). The above seems like an unreasonably
small window, but may be necessary. Without documentation, I am not sure of
the original intent with this code.
In summary, this code fixes my boot hangs, but since I am not certain of the
intent of the existing code, I am not certain this has not introduced new bugs
or unexpected behaviors.

The dynamic dma kmalloc creation can run into trouble if a
GFP_ATOMIC allocation is the first one performed for a certain size
of dma kmalloc slab.
- Move the adding of the slab to sysfs into a workqueue
(sysfs does GFP_KERNEL allocations)
- Do not call kmem_cache_destroy() (uses slub_lock)
- Only acquire the slub_lock once and--if we cannot wait--do a trylock.
This introduces a slight risk of the first kmalloc(x, GFP_DMA|GFP_ATOMIC)
for a range of sizes failing due to another process holding the slub_lock.
However, we only need to acquire the spinlock once in order to establish
each power of two DMA kmalloc cache. The possible conflict is with the
slub_lock taken during slab management actions (create / remove slab cache).
It is rather typical that a driver will first fill its buffers using
GFP_KERNEL allocations which will wait until the slub_lock can be acquired.
Drivers will also create its slab caches first outside of an atomic
context before starting to use atomic kmalloc from an interrupt context.
If there are any failures then they will occur early after boot or when
loading of multiple drivers concurrently. Drivers can already accomodate
failures of GFP_ATOMIC for other reasons. Retries will then create the slab.

The MAX_PARTIAL checks were supposed to be an optimization. However, slab
shrinking is a manually triggered process either through running slabinfo
or by the kernel calling kmem_cache_shrink.
If one really wants to shrink a slab then all operations should be done
regardless of the size of the partial list. This also fixes an issue that
could surface if the number of partial slabs was initially above MAX_PARTIAL
in kmem_cache_shrink and later drops below MAX_PARTIAL through the
elimination of empty slabs on the partial list (rare). In that case a few
slabs may be left off the partial list (and only be put back when they
are empty).

If a Guest makes hypercall which sets a GDT entry to not present, we
currently set any segment registers using that GDT entry to 0.
Unfortunately, this is not sufficient: there are other ways of
altering GDT entries which will cause a fault.
The correct solution to do what Linux does: let them set any GDT value
they want and handle the #GP when popping causes a fault. This has
the added benefit of making our Switcher slightly more robust in the
case of any other bugs which cause it to fault.
We kill the Guest if it causes a fault in the Switcher: it's the
Guest's responsibility to make sure it's not using segments when it
changes them.

lguest uses a host-supplied wallclock-based clocksource when the TSC
is not reliable. As this is already in nanoseconds, I naively used a
multiplier of 1 and a shift of 0.
But update_wall_time() in its infinite wisdom decides to adjust the
clock a little (where does it think it's getting a more accurate time
from?)
It will happily tweak the multiplier... to 0, then -1.
So the "fix" is to use a shift of 22 like everyone else, and a
multiplier of 1 << 22.
