Yes, it run ftrace at first before running LTP to trigger it,

https://github.com/cailca/linux-mm/blob/master/test.sh

echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer

There is another crash with even non-NULL NIP, but then symbol behaves weird.

The bisect so far indicated the bad ones always have this,

Iâll go to bisect some more but it is going to take a while.
