OK, He Zhe, you are almost there.
Let's do the series the following way:

- four patches
- each change goes into a separate patch
- the first two patches Cc stable


patch #0   Cc stable

---
	unsigned int size;

	if (!str)
		return -EINVAL;
	size = memparse(str, &str);

---


patch #1   Cc stable

---

        len = sprintf(text,
                      "** %llu printk messages dropped **\n",
                      log_first_seq - console_seq);

---


=====================================================================

patch #2

---

#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

---


patch #3

---

      if (size > UINT_MAX) {
              size = UINT_MAX;
              pr_err("log_buf over 4G is not supported.\n");
      }

      ...
