Submission to Project: makedumpfile
Component: dmesg
Files: printk.c makedumpfile.c makedumpfile.h
Code level patch applied against: 1.7.4++ - latest code pulled from

makedumpfile Issue #13
    https://github.com/makedumpfile/makedumpfile/issues/13
Project Owner: Kazuhito Hagio <k-hagio-ab@xxxxxxx>
Revision: #1 on 2023/12/15 per Kazu ensure spacing of dmesg output
                           matches dmesg -S and new dmesg caller_id
                           output format (space after timestamp)
Revision: #2 on 2023/12/21 per Kazu use NOT_FOUND_STRUCTURE for caller_id
Revision: #3 on 2023/12/21 streamline code for printing caller_id
Revision: #4 on 2023/12/24 per Kazu make code consistent, drop the
                           CALLER_ID_SIZE not needed.

Add support so that dmesg entries include the optional Linux Kernel
debug CONFIG option PRINTK_CALLER which adds an optional dmesg field
that contains the Thread Id or CPU Id that is issuing the printk to
add the message to the kernel ring buffer. If enabled, this CONFIG
option makes debugging simpler as dmesg entries for a specific
thread or CPU can be recognized.

The dmesg command supports printing the PRINTK_CALLER field. The
old syslog format (dmesg -S) and recently support was added for dmesg
using /dev/kmsg interface.

The additional field provided by PRINTK_CALLER is only present
if it was configured for the Linux kernel on the running system. The
PRINTK_CALLER is a debug option and not configured by default so the
dmesg output will only change for those kernels where the option was
configured when the kernel was built. For users who went to the
trouble to configure PRINTK_CALLER and have the extra field available
for debugging, having dmesg print the field is very helpful and so
it would be very useful to add makedumpfile support for it.

Size of the PRINTK_CALLER field is determined by the maximum number
tasks that can be run on the system which is limited by the value of
/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max as pid values are from 0 to value - 1.
This value determines the number of id digits needed by the caller id.
The PRINTK_CALLER field is printed as T<id> for a Task Id or C<id>
for a CPU Id for a printk in CPU context. The values are left space
padded and enclosed in parentheses such as:
         [    T123]   or   [     C16]
For dmesg command the PRINTK_CALLER field when present is the last
field before the dmesg text so it makes sense to use the same format.
