The initialization of "security_hook_heads" is done by casting it to another structure pointer type, and treating it as an array of "struct hlist_head" objects. This requires an exception be made in "randstruct", because otherwise it will emit an error, reducing the effectiveness of the hardening technique. Instead of using a cast, initialize the individual struct hlist_head elements in security_hook_heads explicitly. This removes the need for the cast and randstruct exception.

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.
