Under OOM situation, writing to a file on disk unlikely works. Maybe
logging via network ( "cat /debug/trace/trace_pipe > /dev/udp/$ip/$port"
if your are using bash) works better. (I wish we can do it from kernel
so that /bin/cat is not disturbed by delays due to page fault.)

If you can configure netconsole for logging OOM killer messages and
UDP socket for logging trace_pipe messages, udplogger at
https://osdn.net/projects/akari/scm/svn/tree/head/branches/udplogger/
might fit for logging both output with timestamp into a single file.
