Short answer: compile testing and static analysis.

Long answer: this is not just me, and an overall picture is far more
interesting. ISPRAS (https://www.ispras.ru/en) manages a sophisticated
static analysis tool. Running over Linux kernel sources, this tool
produces a lot (I don't know exactly, but probably tens of thousands)
warnings about possibly unsafe and/or incorrect code. These warnings
should be investigated and, after filtering out irrelevant, false
positive etc. cases, some of them may (and should) be fixed. This work
is distributed among more than 30 companies, has its own (not too tight
but still) schedule, and it's not always easy to incorporate it into
the regular workflows of a kernel communities.

As for the the rest of your comments, I'll try to address them in an
incoming v3. And of course great thanks for your reviews.

Dmitry
