Linus Torvalds 614cb2751d tracing: Limit the shooting in the foot of tp_printk 
The "tp_printk" option redirects the trace event output to printk at boot
 up. This is useful when a machine crashes before boot where the trace events
 can not be retrieved by the in kernel ring buffer. But it can be "dangerous"
 because trace events can be located in high frequency locations such as
 interrupts and the scheduler, where a printk can slow it down that it live
 locks the machine (because by the time the printk finishes, the next event
 is triggered). Thus tp_printk must be used with care.
 
 It was discovered that the filter logic to trace events does not apply to
 the tp_printk events. This can cause a surprise and live lock when the user
 expects it to be filtered to limit the amount of events printed to the
 console when in fact it still prints everything.
