Can you log rcu_barrier() as well? It could be that the print is just a side
effect of something else that is not being printed.

If you follow the steps I shared, we should be able to get a full log of RCU
traces.

True, there are things other than call_rcu() like rcu_barrier() that can
slow down the boot path. We fixed that and it is not an issue over here, but
I am not sure if you are triggering it some how.
