Under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, memcpy() will check the size of destination
and source buffers. Defining kernel_headers_data as "char" would trip
this check. Since these addresses are treated as byte arrays, define
them as arrays (as done everywhere else).
This was seen with:
$ cat /sys/kernel/kheaders.tar.xz >> /dev/null
detected buffer overflow in memcpy
kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:1027!

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.
