WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer has bad value

Josh,

I'm starting to get a bunch of these warnings, and I'm thinking they
are false positives. The stack frame error is recorded at a call from
entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath, where I would expect the bp to not be valid.

To trigger this, I only need to go into /sys/kernel/debug/tracing and
echo function > current_tracer then cat trace. Maybe function tracer
stack frames is messing it up some how, but it always fails at the
entry call.

Here's the dump;

I trigger this on 4.11-rc3 and I attached the config.
