It will just overwrite itself a few times, as b->head keeps wrapping back to 0.

Not as easy as typing " (first line may be sliced)" ;-)
Still not sure it is worth having the extra complication, but here
is the change as a separate patch:
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>
Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2022 19:01:33 +0300
Subject: [PATCH] perf intel-pt: Remove first line of log dumped on error
Instead of printing "(first line may be sliced)", always remove the
first line of the debug log when dumping on error.
