KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN fixes
Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked
to my 966c8c12dc9e77f931e2281ba25d2f0244b06949 sprint_symbol(): use
less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() -
kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was
beyond the end of page provided.
The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly
enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before
it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.
Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they
need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer
where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies
them.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: ftrace.h needs module.h]
