The mm_struct always contains a cpumask bitmap, regardless of CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK. That means the first step can be to simplify things, and simply have one bitmask at the end of the mm_struct for the mm_cpumask. This does necessitate moving everything else in mm_struct into an anonymous sub-structure, which can be randomized when struct randomization is enabled. The second step is to determine the correct size for the mm_struct slab object from the size of the mm_struct (excluding the CPU bitmap) and the size the cpumask. For init_mm we can simply allocate the maximum size this kernel is compiled for, since we only have one init_mm in the system, anyway. Pointer magic by Mike Galbraith, to evade -Wstringop-overflow getting confused by the dynamically sized array.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
