Why overlayfs increases boot time?

Recently, I started using overlay filesystem. I'm using initram script (init=/sbin/myint) as described in Raspberry blog - raspberry overlay, yet, I noticed that it increases boot time significantly (about 10 seconds).



Is this increase in time happening because of mounting overlay filesystem?



EDIT:



I see that if I do the mount in init script instead of fstab file, then the additional time is reduced. Yet, I am not sure what's the difference.
in fstab:



/dev/mmcblock5 /app ext4 defaults 0 0
overlay /app overlay defaults,lowerdir=/app,upperdir=/mnt/temp/upper2,workdir=/mnt/temp/work2


(/temp is mounted in initram script (init=/sbin/myint), see the link above)
in /etc/local.d/01.start
:



mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=/app,upperdir=/mnt/temp/upper2,workdir=/mnt/temp/work2 none /app

    you could try comparing the output of systemd-analyze blame and/or systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg. It might show which parts of the boot process happen more slowly / later on.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
