This patch introduces two new fields to /proc/[pid]/status to display the set of CPUs, representing the CPU affinity of the process's active memory context, in both mask and list format: "Cpus_active_mm" and "Cpus_active_mm_list". The mm_cpumask is primarily used for TLB and cache synchronisation. Exposing this information allows userspace to easily identify memory-task affinity, insight to NUMA alignment, CPU isolation and real-time workload placement. Frequent mm_cpumask changes may indicate instability in placement policies or excessive task migration overhead.
