Thank you for the report! This is an unpatched address for the runtime
constant which suggests we are using the address before it is patched.
Following seems to solve it for me on your config:

  (Prepared on top of queue:locking/core)

diff --git a/kernel/futex/core.c b/kernel/futex/core.c

Could you please check if this is the same issue you are hitting too?

My default config seems to have been much less aggressive at
optimization to have exposed this problem.
