I think this would look a lot nicer column aligned along the | boundaries

	len += scnprintf(buf + len, size - len, "--------------------------------------------------------\n");
	len += scnprintf(buf + len, size - len, "|  idx |    hp    |    tp    |  timestamp  |   event   |\n");
	len += scnprintf(buf + len, size - len, "--------------------------------------------------------\n");

	spin_lock_bh(&db_ring_debug->lock);

	for (i = 0; i < db_ring_debug->num_ring_debug_entries; i++) {
		len += scnprintf(buf + len, size - len,
				 "| %4u | %8u | %8u | %11llu | %-9s |\n", i,
				 db_ring_debug->entries[i].hp,
				 db_ring_debug->entries[i].tp,
				 db_ring_debug->entries[i].timestamp,
				 event_id_to_string[db_ring_debug->entries[i].event]);
