Example:

 WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 3255 at drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:83 lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm] (ed5019fdf5e53be37cb1ba7899292d7e143b259e)

Would the first 12 characters instead of all 40 make it more palatable
without reducing its utility?

I can't seem to request debuginfo from debuginfod without the full 40
characters. It's not a git sha1 hash.

And I feel it should be within the [], so maybe this:

WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 3255 at drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:83 lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm ed5019fdf5e5]

Sure I could put the hex numbers inside the brackets. I suspect changing
%pS or updating the "Modules linked in:" line isn't going to be
palatable. I've decided to introduce another printk format %pT to print
the stacktrace 

Can you avoid claiming a new "top-level" %p modifier? Isn't it better to
add a new flag to '%pS', say '%pSb' to include build-id?
