Arnd Bergmann reported that turning on -Wvla found a new (unintended) VLA usage:
arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c: In function 'pgd_alloc':
include/linux/build_bug.h:29:45: error: ISO C90 forbids variable length array 'u_pmds' [-Werror=vla]
arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c:190:34: note: in expansion of macro 'static_cpu_has'
#define PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PTI) ? \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c:431:16: note: in expansion of macro 'PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS'
pmd_t *u_pmds[PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS];
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use the actual size of the array that is used for X86_FEATURE_PTI,
which is known at build time, instead of the variable size.
[ mingo: Squashed original fix with followup fix to avoid bisection breakage, wrote new changelog. ]

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.
