Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.8 55/68] overflow: Allow non-type arg to type_max() and type_min()

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

[ Upstream commit bd1ebf2467f9c5d157bec7b025e83f8ffdae1318 ]

A common use of type_max() is to find the max for the type of a
variable. Using the pattern type_max(typeof(var)) is needlessly
verbose. Instead, since typeof(type) == type we can just explicitly
call typeof() on the argument to type_max() and type_min(). Add
wrappers for readability.

We can do some replacements right away:

$ git grep '\btype_\(min\|max\)(typeof' | wc -l
11
