The time depends on the serial speed and the trace buffer size and the number
of cpus. Don't worry about the uptime. The buffer is a ringbuffer with limited
capacity, so the dump time is constant.
If you want that /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops spills out on warnings
as well, you need to enable
/proc/sys/kernel/traceoff_on_warning
/proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops
and
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn
because we do not dump on warnings.
