[PATCH] kbuild: fix buffer overflow in modpost
Jiri Benc <[email protected]> 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
