without all the funny numbers this is what remains on screen:

  sys_reboot
  __hrtimer_start_range_ns
  default_spin_lock_flags
  __spin_lock_irqsave
  __spin_lock_irqrestore
  hrtimer_try_to_cancel
  hrtimer_cancel
  do_nanosleep
  hrtimer_nanosleep
  hrtimer_wakeup
  path_put
  audit_syscall_entry
  audit_syscall_exit
