 Some strange reasons may cause kcore to collect some strange
 entries of ikconfig, such as CONFIG_SECU+[some hex data] causes
 the 'val' to be NULL, and then crashes when strdup.

This looks harmless, but kt->ikconfig_ents is incremented unconditionally
in setup_ikconfig() and inconsistent with the following debug message
                        if (setup_ikconfig(pos)) {
                                kt->ikconfig_flags |= IKCONFIG_LOADED;
                                if (CRASHDEBUG(1))
                                        fprintf(fp,
                                        "ikconfig: %d valid configs.\n",
                                                kt->ikconfig_ents);
and it consumes an element of the ikconfig_all array needlessly, so
how about something like this?:
  if (!val) {
    if (CRASHDEBUG(2))
       error(WARNING, "invalid ikconfig entry: %s\n", line);
    return FALSE;
  }
  ...
  return TRUE;
and in setup_ikconfig():
  if (add_ikconfig_entry(ent, &ikconfig_all[kt->ikconfig_ents])
      kt->ikconfig_ents++;
Thanks,
