FYI,

I have a patch that removes the calltime and rettime fields from the
generic structure as they should not be used in the generic code. That is
how I found this bug. I noticed that the irqsoff and wakeup tracers used
that field as well, and when I tested those tracers with the display-graph
option enabled, that's when I noticed the regression.

But that change is a cleanup and not appropriate for an rc release. This
was more of a work around to fix the regression. The proper fix will come
in 6.14.
