commit 1b73e588f47397dee6e4bdfd953e0306c60b5fe5 upstream.
Casting a small array of u8 to an unsigned long is *never* OK:
- it does funny thing when the array size is less than that of a long,
as it accesses random places in the stack
- it makes everything even more fun with a BE kernel
Fix this by building the unsigned long used as a bitmap byte by byte,
in a way that works across endianess and has no undefined behaviours.
An extra BUILD_BUG_ON() catches the unlikely case where the array
would be larger than a single unsigned long.
Fixes:

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.
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.
