Building arm:allmodconfig may fail with the following error.
In function 'fortify_memcpy_chk',
inlined from 'bitmap_copy' at include/linux/bitmap.h:261:2,
inlined from 'bitmap_copy_clear_tail' at include/linux/bitmap.h:270:2,

drivers/hwmon/peci/dimmtemp.c:284:2:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:344:25: error:
call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning:
detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter)
The problematic code is
bitmap_from_u64(priv->dimm_mask, dimm_mask);
dimm_mask is declared as u64, but the bitmap in priv->dimm_mask is only
24 bit wide. On 32-bit systems, this results in writes over the end of
the bitmap.
Fix the problem by using u32 instead of u64 for dimm_mask. This is
currently sufficient, and a compile time check to ensure that the number
of dimms does not exceed the bit map size is already in place.

README
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.
