CR2: fffffe0000001fa8, RSP: 0018:fffffe0000001fb8; this is a pagefault
on the stack. fffffe0000000000 is CPU_ENTRY_AREA_RO_IDT;
fffffe0000001000 is CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PER_CPU; so fffffe0000002000 is the
page with the entry stack for cpu 0, and you overflowed from that into
the readonly gdt at fffffe0000001000, which doubles as a guard page
for the entry stack:

struct cpu_entry_area {
        char gdt[PAGE_SIZE];

        /*
         * The GDT is just below entry_stack and thus serves (on x86_64) as
         * a a read-only guard page.
         */
        struct entry_stack_page entry_stack_page;
[...]
};

In other words: You're calling C code on the entry trampoline stack;
this C code can call into ftrace; and the entry trampoline stack isn't
big enough for ftrace shenanigans. I think you probably shouldn't be
calling C code on the entry stack, but maybe one of the X86 folks has
a different opinion?
