      eCryptfs: Prevent file create race condition · b59db43a
      Tyler Hicks authored
      The file creation path prematurely called d_instantiate() and
      unlock_new_inode() before the eCryptfs inode info was fully
      allocated and initialized and before the eCryptfs metadata was written
      to the lower file.
      
      This could result in race conditions in subsequent file and inode
      operations leading to unexpected error conditions or a null pointer
      dereference while attempting to use the unallocated memory.

      KVM guest: prevent tracing recursion with kvmclock · 95ef1e52
      Avi Kivity authored
      Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in
      kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled,
      preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph
      tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the
      preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace
      version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and
      prevents the recursion.
      
      Based on a similar patch for Xen from Jeremy Fitzhardinge.
