Is AMD's CCP encryption processor working in your system ?
It's actually line 800 in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-dev-v5.c but close enough. Same cause.
See line 72 of https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/crypto/ccp/psp-dev.c

Actually Portable Executable – Lua
> What I wouldn't give for a liblinux, similar to NTDLL.
Hey I actually tried to make such a thing.
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/liblinux
It provides access to Linux system calls and process start up code that gets all the arguments, environment and auxiliary values. I have several examples of applications written in 100% freestanding C with no dependencies except this library.
It's a bit too low level compared to the dynamic loading library but I actually planned to make my own ld-liblinux eventually. I stopped working on it because I found better solution for system calls on the Linux kernel repository:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/tools/include/...
You think liblinux could have a future?

Bad performance when copying a large file
Doesn't the memory management subsystem take into account trashing scenarios like this? Link. At least, that's my naive understanding on the matter.

Tascam US 16x08 USB Audio Interface
Okay. I did some searching and found two things: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/sound/usb/mixer_us16x08.c one, which looks like a driver of some sort for the interface and two, https://github.com/onkelDead/tascam-gtk a GUI mixer for the interface. IDK if this is anything useful, as I am completely lost when it comes to this.

Booting the IBM 1401: How a 1959 punch-card computer loads a program
I don't know the answer to your exact question.
But z/Linux does actually support card readers and card punches – https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/s390/c... – of course nowadays nobody is using physical ones, z/VM emulates virtual card readers / punches and lets you redirect them to disk files and in that context they are still used.
(It would be an interesting if pointless exercise to see if z/Linux could actually talk to a real physical card reader / card punch. z/Linux uses a paravirtualisation approach to talk to card readers/punches – z/VM DIAG 14 call – so z/Linux couldn't directly interface with a physical device. I don't know whether z/VM still has the code in it to talk to physical readers/punches, probably it has been removed or been bitrotted away.)

IMX290 driver for jetson nx
It is difficult to write your own driver without the sensor datasheet. Those datasheets are under a Sony NDA though and you will not get one as a private person. You could adapt the driver from the standard kernel though: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/media/i2c/imx290.c
