It must not be very common.  I wrote a Smatch script which finds both
the lustre and the ima bugs but it doesn't find anything else major.

Apparently parsing vmcores is buggy, for example and I reported a couple
other small bugs to other lists.

fs/proc/vmcore.c:547 update_note_header_size_elf64() warn: is 'notes_section' large enough for 'struct elf64_note'?
fs/proc/vmcore.c:733 update_note_header_size_elf32() warn: is 'notes_section' large enough for 'struct elf32_note'?

regards,
dan carpenter
