[RFC patch 5/7] crash: Add VMCOREINFO_FIELD_AND_OFFSET()

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: crash--Add-VMCOREINFO_FIELD_ANDOFFSET--.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1353 bytes --]

Changing the time stamp storage in the printk ringbuffer entries would
break existing tools which rely on the availability of the 'ts_nsec' field
in vmcore info.

Provide a new macro which allows to store the offset of a member of struct
printk_log with a different name. This allows to change the underlying
storage and without breaking tools.
