Hi Kazu, Here is a patch adding full support for the new lockless printk ringbuffer as it is currently being proposed. Note that the latest version has not yet been submitted to LKML. I was waiting until I finished tests with crash(8) and makedumpfile(8). The new ringbuffer will export all the necessary symbols, sizes, and offsets in VMCOREINFO. Note that I created a separate printk.c for the iteration logic. Also note that I modified dwarf_info.c to support resolving typedefs of typedefs. This was necessary in order to support atomic_long_t and its "counter" member. I don't expect you to take the patch as-is, but I hope it can provide some positive ground work for moving forward.
