+Open-coded kmalloc assignments for struct objects
+-------------------------------------------------
+Performing open-coded kmalloc()-family allocation assignments prevents
+the kernel (and compiler) from being able to examine the type of the
+variable being assigned, which limits any related introspection that
+may help with alignment, wrap-around, or additional hardening. The
+kmalloc_obj()-family of macros provide this introspection, which can be
+used for the common code patterns for single, array, and flexible object
+allocations. For example, these open coded assignments::
+
+	ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(*ptr), gfp);
+	ptr = kzalloc(sizeof(*ptr), gfp);
+	ptr = kmalloc_array(count, sizeof(*ptr), gfp);
+	ptr = kcalloc(count, sizeof(*ptr), gfp);
+	ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo, gfp);
+
+become, respectively::
+
+	ptr = kmalloc_obj(*ptr, gfp);
+	ptr = kzalloc_obj(*ptr, gfp);
+	ptr = kmalloc_objs(*ptr, count, gfp);
+	ptr = kzalloc_objs(*ptr, count, gfp);
+	__auto_type ptr = kmalloc_obj(struct foo, gfp);
