I re-read your comments, and I think I have misunderstood your request.

The regressions are found when all places of STRUCT_SIZE("cpumask_t")
in crash were replaced by DIV_ROUND_UP(...). You see there are plenty
of places in crash which used STRUCT_SIZE("cpumask_t"), including the

Not needed.

Maybe they can be replaced with the SIZE(cpumask_t) in your unwind stack patchset. Anyway, that is another issue.
 
2(the one which this patch is dealing with, and the one in tools.c)

However if only the 2 places (the one which this patch is dealing
with, and the one in tools.c) are replaced, there is no regression
being noticed.


Totally correct. That is my concern.
 
So I'm going to deal with the only 2 places in v2.

 
Sounds good. Thank you, Tao.
