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;
