Pick a smaller box? I seem to be able to reproduce on my wsm-ep, which
boots inside a minute :-)

Run: perf top --stdio -e 'cycles:pp' in another window and when the
console output shows:

[  610.319486] perf samples too long (19310 > 19230), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 7000

quickly press enter here:

Now obviously the whole printk stuff below is insane, but it does show
its one that triggered the check. And the trace does give a fair idea of
what its doing:
