v1->v2:
modify commit info add how to find the problem in the log
v2->v3:
Seems this can use macro WTERMSIG like those above usage, rather than
changing the print format.
v3->v4:
Now the commit summary doesn't match the change you are making.
Also WTERMSIG() is incorrect for this conditional code path.
See comments below in the code path.

I would leave the v2 code intact. How are you testing this change?
Please include the details in the change log.

I am asking you to send the v2 change with updated change log
to show how this change is tested.

v4->v5:
Compile the kernel for testing using make

Running make isn't sufficient - please verify running the tests
making sure there are no regressions. Since you are changing the
harness, you want to make sure this change You are changing the
harness.

%d makes sense here in this message.
