Linux kernel doesn't use libc. Libc provides the interface for userspace to call the kernel.

It does includes its headers (stdlib.h, at least), in various subsystems.

In user space tools and tests only. The kernel part does not include stdlib.h anywhere. Nowhere where it matters in the context of "And if my kernel crashes?"
