Reporting errors on -EINTR and -ERESTARTSYS are usually considered a bug since 
that are perfectly normal conditions to occur.

Well I agree that debug or info level is probably more suitable, but error 
messages like this here are just a symptom that people doesn't know how to 
properly use ftrace.

In other words when you have a message in syslog that userspace did something 
wrong, even if it's just a debug message, than that is in like 99% of all cases 
not appropriate.

What drivers should log is things like HW conditions changes, global SW 
condition changes because somebody requested feature X, performance changes 
because of I have to enable workaround Y...... but not system call is 
interrupted by signal, application is using to much memory or giving invalid 
values etc....
