We already store some metadata about the caller:
* All fields are set by the printk code except for @seq, which is
* set by the ringbuffer code.
*/
struct printk_info {
u64 seq; /* sequence number */
u64 ts_nsec; /* timestamp in nanoseconds */
u16 text_len; /* length of text message */
u8 facility; /* syslog facility */
u8 flags:5; /* internal record flags */
u8 level:3; /* syslog level */
u32 caller_id; /* thread id or processor id */
struct dev_printk_info dev_info;
};
The 32-bit caller ID is generated using:
static inline u32 printk_caller_id(void)
{
return in_task() ? task_pid_nr(current) :
0x80000000 + smp_processor_id();
}
We could add more metadata and always store the CPU ID and something
like:
[CTXT][ Tpid][ Ccpu]
for example
[TASK][ T234][ C4]
[ IRQ][ T4567][ C17]
[SIRQ][ T5][ C0]
[ NMI][ T356][ C128]
The biggest problem is that it would change the format of the
ringbuffer so that it would require updating external tools,
working with crashdump, especially crash but there are also
alternative python extensions for gdb.
See below POC of the kernel part. It is not even compile tested. The size
of the buffers is updated by a guess. Comments are not updated, ...
