From: Kees Cook <kees+treewide@kernel.org>
In preparation for converting the kmalloc family of allocators to the
type-aware kmalloc_obj family, we need to make sure that the returned
type from the allocation matches the type of the variable being
assigned. (The kmalloc family returns "void *", which can be implicitly
cast to any pointer type.)
These allocate as many pointers as ebc_key_maps and ebc_func_table hold,
but the sizes were taken from the whole arrays, which would make the
allocation types pointers to those arrays rather than the "u_short **"
and "char **" being assigned. Allocate ARRAY_SIZE-many entries instead.
The resulting allocation sizes are the same.
Build tested ARCH=s390 allmodconfig with GCC s390x-linux-gnu 16.1.0:
