I've pushed support for CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER to syzkaller/syzbot:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/commit/7da2392541a49c3f17b2e7d24e04b84d72b965fb

to make sense out of kernel output.

Tetsuo, thanks for your great persistence with this change!
Sergey, Petr, thanks for reviews!

+Fengguang, Kevin, maybe you will find this useful for 0-day/kernel-ci.
