+prb
+---
+
+A pointer to the printk ringbuffer (struct printk_ringbuffer). This
+may be pointing to the static boot ringbuffer or the dynamically
+allocated ringbuffer, depending on when the the core dump occurred.
+Used by user-space tools to read the active kernel log buffer.
+
+printk_rb_static
+----------------
+
+A pointer to the static boot printk ringbuffer. If @prb has a
+different value, this is useful for viewing the initial boot messages,
+which may have been overwritten in the dynamically allocated
+ringbuffer.
+
+clear_seq
+---------
+
+The sequence number of the printk() record after the last clear
+command. It indicates the first record after the last
+SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR, like issued by 'dmesg -c'. Used by user-space
+tools to dump a subset of the dmesg log.
+
+printk_ringbuffer
+-----------------
+
+The size of a printk_ringbuffer structure. This structure contains all
+information required for accessing the various components of the
+kernel log buffer.
+
+(printk_ringbuffer, desc_ring|text_data_ring|dict_data_ring|fail)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Offsets for the various components of the printk ringbuffer. Used by
+user-space tools to view the kernel log buffer without requiring the
+declaration of the structure.
+
+prb_desc_ring
-------------
-Index of the first record stored in the buffer log_buf. Used by
-user-space tools to read the strings in the log_buf.
+The size of the prb_desc_ring structure. This structure contains
+information about the set of record descriptors.
-log_buf
--------
+(prb_desc_ring, count_bits|descs|head_id|tail_id)
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Offsets for the fields describing the set of record descriptors. Used
+by user-space tools to be able to traverse the descriptors without
+requiring the declaration of the structure.
+
+prb_desc
+--------
+
+The size of the prb_desc structure. This structure contains
+information about a single record descriptor.
+
+(prb_desc, info|state_var|text_blk_lpos|dict_blk_lpos)
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+Offsets for the fields describing a record descriptors. Used by
+user-space tools to be able to read descriptors without requiring
+the declaration of the structure.
+
+prb_data_blk_lpos
+-----------------
+
+The size of the prb_data_blk_lpos structure. This structure contains
+information about where the text or dictionary data (data block) is
+located within the respective data ring.
+
+(prb_data_blk_lpos, begin|next)
+-------------------------------
-Console output is written to the ring buffer log_buf at index
-log_first_idx. Used to get the kernel log.
+Offsets for the fields describing the location of a data block. Used
+by user-space tools to be able to locate data blocks without
+requiring the declaration of the structure.
-log_buf_len

-The index that the next printk() record to read after the last clear
-command. It indicates the first record after the last SYSLOG_ACTION
-_CLEAR, like issued by 'dmesg -c'. Used by user-space tools to dump
-the dmesg log.
+Offsets for the fields providing the meta-data for a record. Used by
+user-space tools to be able to read the information without requiring
