On s390 cpumask_set_cpu(0, mm_cpumask(&init_mm)); in arch_mm_preinit() writes
out-of-bounds into swap_attrs[] overwriting the terminating NULL.
This seems to happen because the return value of get_rss_stat_items_size() is
larger than PERCPU_COUNTER_TREE_ITEMS_STATIC_SIZE:
PERCPU_COUNTER_TREE_ITEMS_STATIC_SIZE: 18688
get_rss_stat_items_size(): 21504
Here I stopped looking further into this. I guess you will figure out
immediately what's wrong :)
