This uses ERR_CAST() instead of an open-coded cast, as it is casting
across structure pointers, which upsets __randomize_layout:

ipc/shm.c: In function `shm_lock':
ipc/shm.c:209:9: note: randstruct: casting between randomized structure pointer types (ssa): `struct shmid_kernel' and `struct kern_ipc_perm'

  return (void *)ipcp;
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~

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.
