Here is an updated patch (which uses appropriate PREFIX_MAX definition
after "[PATCH v2] printk: fix printk_time race." is applied).

Subject: [PATCH v2] printk: Add caller information to printk() output.
Sometimes we want to print a series of printk() messages to consoles
without being disturbed by concurrent printk() from interrupts and/or
other threads. But we can't enforce printk() callers to use their local
buffers because we need to ask them to make too much changes. Also, even
buffering up to one line inside printk() might cause failing to emit
an important clue under critical situation.
Therefore, instead of trying to help buffering, let's try to help
reconstructing messages by saving caller information as of calling
log_store() and adding it as "@T$thread_id" or "@C$processor_id" upon
printing to consoles.
Some examples for console output:
[ 0.919699]@T1 x86: Booting SMP configuration:
[ 4.152681]@T271 Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.20
[ 5.070470]@C0 random: fast init done
[ 6.587900]@C3 random: crng init done
# Not yet signed-off in order to silence build-bot error reports.
