In perf_mmap__push(), the 'size' need to be recalculated, otherwise the
invalid data might be pushed to the record in overwrite mode.
The issue is introduced by commit 7fb4b407a124 ("perf mmap: Don't
discard prev in backward mode").
When the ring buffer is full in overwrite mode, backward_rb_find_range()
will be called to recalculate the 'start' and 'end'. The 'size' needs to
be recalculated accordingly.
Unconditionally recalculate the 'size', not just for full ring buffer in
overwrite mode. Because:
- There is no harmful to recalculate the 'size' for other cases.
- The code of calculating 'start' and 'end' will be factored out later.
The new function does not need to return 'size'.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
