Looking at the dircache debug output, we see
that a "git status" workload has a very bad
cache hit rate because the entries expire or
get evicted before they can be reused.
Increase both cache size and lifetime for
a 4x speedup:
Before: 75s
After: 17s

We need
fd7328faf9
to fix a crash reported in https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/430 :
2019/10/30 17:14:16 Unknown opcode 2016
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x20 pc=0x508d38]
This patch is only in the v2.x.x branch. Upgrade to v2, as the
old API is also supported there.
Running
git grep hanwen/go-fuse | grep -v hanwen/go-fuse/v2
to check for forgotten references comes back clean.
Implementation seems to work ok, but is missing tests and
documentation for now.
I will only delete ctlsock-encrypt.bash when both are
done.

Bisecting shows that the performance drop is caused by
this commit:

fusefrontend: drop xattr user namespace restriction
Adding flags allows to use inomap in reverse mode,
replacing the clunky inoBaseDirIV/inoBaseNameFile
logic that causes problems with high underlying
inode numbers ( https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/457 )
Microbenchmarks (values below) show that the "SingleDev"
case is now much slower due to an extra map lookup,
but this has no visible effects in ./test.bash results,
so there was no time spent optimizing the case further.
$ go test -bench=.

The case of a git repo without any tags used to fail
with:
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
Now we continue, using "[no_tags_found]" as the
version string.
The comment still mentioned CBC, which has been removed
a long time ago.
The test definition can be rewritten using slice literals,
saving sume stuttering.
We used to prefer openssl in this situation, which
used to make sense, but now Go gained an optimized
assembly implementation for aes-gcm on arm64 with
aes instructions:

and has go version and arch information, which is important
when comparing results.
From https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GoArm :
In cross compilation situations, it is recommended
that you always set an appropriate GOARM value
along with GOARCH.
The value seems to default to GOARM=5 if not set
during cross-compilation.
