When building with clang and CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL=y, there is an error
due to a cast in eventfs_create_events_dir():
fs/tracefs/event_inode.c:734:10: error: casting from randomized structure pointer type 'struct dentry *' to 'struct eventfs_inode *'
734 | return (struct eventfs_inode *)dentry;
| ^
1 error generated.
Use the ERR_CAST() function to resolve the error, as it was designed for
this exact situation (casting an error pointer to another type).

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.
