Colin Ian King has written kernelscan, a tool to help parse Linux kernel messages.
[…] The Linux kernel contains lots of error/warning/information messages; over 130,000 in the current 4.7 kernel. One of the tests in the Firmware Test Suite (FWTS) is to find BIOS/ACPI/UEFI related kernel error messages in the kernel log and try to provide some helpful advice on each error message since some can be very cryptic to the untrained eye. The FWTS kernel error log database is currently approaching 800 entries and I have been slowly working through another 800 or so more relevant and recently added messages. Needless to say, this is taking a while to complete. The hardest part was finding relevant error messages in the kernel as they appear in different forms (e.g. printk(), dev_err(), ACPI_ERROR() etc). In order to scrape the Linux kernel source for relevant error messages I hacked up the kernelscan parser to find error messages and dump these to stdout. kernelscan can scan 43,000 source files (17,900,000 lines of source) in under 10 seconds on my Lenovo X230 laptop, so it is relatively fast.
