      [PATCH] fix free swap cache latency · 6f5e6b9e
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Lee Revell reported 28ms latency when process with lots of swapped memory
      exits.
      
      2.6.15 introduced a latency regression when unmapping: in accounting the
      zap_work latency breaker, pte_none counted 1, pte_present PAGE_SIZE, but a
      swap entry counted nothing at all.  We think of pages present as the slow
      case, but Lee's trace shows that free_swap_and_cache's radix tree lookup
      can make a lot of work - and we could have been doing it many thousands of
      times without a latency break.
      
      Move the zap_work update up to account swap entries like pages present.
      This does account non-linear pte_file entries, and unmap_mapping_range
      skipping over swap entries, by the same amount even though they're quick:
      but neither of those cases deserves complicating the code (and they're
      treated no worse than they were in 2.6.14).

      [PATCH] kbuild: fix buffer overflow in modpost · 7670f023
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> reported that modpost would stop with SIGABRT if
      used with long filepaths.
      The error looked like:
      >   Building modules, stage 2.
      >   MODPOST
      > *** glibc detected *** scripts/mod/modpost: realloc(): invalid next size:
      +0x0809f588 ***
      > [...]
      
      Fix this by allocating at least the required memory + SZ bytes each time.
      Before we sometimes ended up allocating too little memory resuting in the
      glibc detected bug above.  Based on patch originally submitted by: Jiri
