I think this is a good idea. I was looking at how lockdep prints
warnings (see print_circular_bug_header()). It doesn't use WARN() it
prints a bunch of pr_warn() statements and then a stack trace. We would
have to have a increment the counter manually in that situation.
I'm writing a script to parse a dmesg and collect Oopses. So now I know
to look for WARN(), lockdep, and KASAN. What other bugs formats do we
have? Probably someone like the syzbot devs have already has written a
script like this?
