I wrote this GCC plugin for this exact reason. Let's see whether the kernel team is interested in adopting it.

I searched lore.kernel.org and couldn't find any postings that propose using this in the kernel. I'd encourage you to share a proposal, otherwise the "kernel team" will never be interested, because they'll never hear of it.
