4ed308c445a1e3ab ("ftrace: Have architectures opt-in for mcount build time sorting") Is it possible to try with the final v5.17? Or at least try with that patch cherry-picked? I didn't think that led to this problem specifically, but in my testing the problem was detected earlier, so maybe this is a secondary problem. > > I have added the configuration as attachment. > > > > Here is what I try to do: > > ``` > > # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ > > # ls > > available_events per_cpu stack_trace > > available_filter_functions printk_formats stack_trace_filter > > available_tracers README timestamp_mode > > buffer_percent recursed_functions trace > > buffer_size_kb saved_cmdlines trace_clock > > buffer_total_size_kb saved_cmdlines_size trace_marker > > current_tracer saved_tgids trace_marker_raw > > dyn_ftrace_total_info set_event trace_options > > dynamic_events set_event_notrace_pid trace_pipe > > enabled_functions set_event_pid trace_stat > > error_log set_ftrace_filter tracing_cpumask > > events set_ftrace_notrace tracing_on > > free_buffer set_ftrace_notrace_pid tracing_thresh > > function_profile_enabled set_ftrace_pid uprobe_events > > instances set_graph_function uprobe_profile > > max_graph_depth set_graph_notrace > > options stack_max_size > > # echo function > current_tracer > > So you enabled function tracing first before setting the filter.

Could that be caused by what I suggested above, with the ftrace locations not being sorted? > > ``` > > > > In the kernel log I can see that a ftrace bug is reported: > > ``` > > [ 173.064893] ------------[ ftrace bug ]------------ > > [ 173.064918] ftrace faulted on modifying > > The above shows that ftrace faulted when it tried to modify a function. > > > [ 173.064923] [<ffff8000096003dc>] set_reset_devices+0x4/0x20 > > The above is what it tried to update.
