[PATCH] Uninline sys_mmap common code (reduce binary size)

Remove the inlining of the new vs old mmap system call common code.  This
reduces the size of the resulting vmlinux for defconfig as follows:

mb@pc1:~/develop/git/linux-2.6$ size vmlinux.mmap*
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

3303557  521524  186564 4011645  3d367d vmlinux.mmapnoinline

The new sys_mmap2() has also one function call overhead removed, now.

slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()

Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.

There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a

[PATCH] kcalloc(): INT_MAX -> ULONG_MAX

Since size_t has the same size as a long on all architectures, it's enough
for overflow checks to check against ULONG_MAX.

This change could allow a compiler better optimization (especially in the
n=1 case).

The practical effect seems to be positive, but quite small:

18 years agoV4L/DVB (3545): Fixed no_overlay option and quirks on saa7134 driver
Mauro Carvalho Chehab [Fri, 17 Mar 2006 23:54:32 +0000 (20:54 -0300)]
V4L/DVB (3545): Fixed no_overlay option and quirks on saa7134 driver

Some chipsets have several problems when pci to pci transfers are activated
on overlay mode. the option no_overlay allows disabling such feature of
the driver, in favor of keeping the system stable.
The default is to use pcipci_fail flag defined on drivers/pci/quirks.c.
It also allows the user to override it by forcing disable overlay or forcing
enable. Forcing enable may generate PCI transfer corruption, including disk
mass corruption, so should be used with care.
Added a text description to this option and make messages looks the same at
both bttv and saa7134 drivers.
