An issue from:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-12/msg00483.html
is exactly reproduced on this header from LLVM project, most probably
due to huge
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
/* a lot of things */
#ifdef __cplusplus
} // extern "C"
#endif
block - a lot of things between top-level { and } hangs everything,
without a chance to quit with C-g.
To reproduce, just do 'emacs -Q linux_syscall_hooks.h' and scroll ~1/2 of buffer.

Hi, Dmitry.

I'm not convinced about that "most probably". ;-)

First investigative results: the problem occurs only with the CC Mode
embedded in Emacs. With the standalone CC Mode (available at
<http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/release.php>) the file works without
problems.
I've run ELP on the scrolling, and there seems to be a well defined call
stack causing the problem, with c-syntactic-skip-backwards being where
it's hanging.
I'll see if I can debug this over the weekend.

Hello again, Dmitry.

This isn't quite the cause. What is actually happening is that CC Mode
is repeatedly searching backwards from the first "#ifdef" line for almost
any punctuation character which isn't in "syntactic whitespace" (i.e. in
a comment or macro). Those 845 #defines take a lot of searching over.
This is a tricky one to fix, since I don't quite understand why the
critical bit of code is there. It was inserted into the source in 2006,
but isn't itself buggy. It is `c-at-toplevel-p' which is buggy.
But in the meantime, the following temporary patch should get your C Mode
scrolling again:

Thanks for the bug report.

Hello, Dmitry.
I've installed this patch in the trunk, revision #117676.
