      perf stat: Fix compatibility behavior · ede70290
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Instead of failing on an unknown event, when new perf stat is run on
older kernels:

  $ ./perf stat true
  Error: open_counter returned with 22 (Invalid argument). /bin/dmesg
  may provide additional information.

  Fatal: Not all events could be opened.

Just ignore EINVAL and ENOSYS, we'll print the results as not counted:

      perf stat: Add --sync/-S option · f9cef0a9
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      --sync will tell perf stat to run sync() before starting a command.

This allows IO-heavy tests to be used with --repeat, without one
iteration impacting the other.

Elapsed time will stabilize for example:

  before:        3.971525714  seconds time elapsed  ( +-  8.56% )
  after:         3.211098537  seconds time elapsed  ( +-  1.52% )

So measurements will be more accurate.

      perf event, x86: Use better stalled cycles metric · 8a850cad
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Use the UOPS_EXECUTED.*,c=1,i=1 event on Intel CPUs - it is a rather
good indicator of CPU execution stalls, more sensitive and more inclusive
than the 0xa2 resource stalls event (which does not count nearly as many
stall types).

      eCryptfs: Flush dirty pages in setattr · 5be79de2
      Tyler Hicks authored 
      After 57db4e8d changed eCryptfs to
write-back caching, eCryptfs page writeback updates the lower inode
times due to the use of vfs_write() on the lower file.

To preserve inode metadata changes, such as 'cp -p' does with
utimensat(), we need to flush all dirty pages early in
ecryptfs_setattr() so that the user-updated lower inode metadata isn't
clobbered later in writeback.

      eCryptfs: Handle failed metadata read in lookup · 3aeb86ea
      Tyler Hicks authored 
      When failing to read the lower file's crypto metadata during a lookup,
eCryptfs must continue on without throwing an error. For example, there
may be a plaintext file in the lower mount point that the user wants to
delete through the eCryptfs mount.

If an error is encountered while reading the metadata in lookup(), the
eCryptfs inode's size could be incorrect. We must be sure to reread the
plaintext inode size from the metadata when performing an open() or
setattr(). The metadata is already being read in those paths, so this
adds minimal performance overhead.

This patch introduces a flag which will track whether or not the
plaintext inode size has been read so that an incorrect i_size can be
fixed in the open() or setattr() paths.

      eCryptfs: Add reference counting to lower files · 332ab16f
      Tyler Hicks authored 
      For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and
multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The
lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first
lookup through the lifetime of the inode.

This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds
reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not
currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such
as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is
opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the
term persistent file are changed to lower file.

Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file
and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs
the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it.

This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3
client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs
inode is destroyed.

      Tyler Hicks authored 
      Call dput on the dentries previously returned by dget_parent() in
ecryptfs_rename(). This is needed for supported eCryptfs mounts on top
of the NFSv3 client.

      eCryptfs: Remove extra d_delete in ecryptfs_rmdir · 35ffa948
      Tyler Hicks authored 
      vfs_rmdir() already calls d_delete() on the lower dentry. That was being
duplicated in ecryptfs_rmdir() and caused a NULL pointer dereference
when NFSv3 was the lower filesystem.
