I wonder if we need the following patch:

diff --git a/kernel/trace/fgraph.c b/kernel/trace/fgraph.c
index 8317d1a7f43a..fc205ad167a9 100644
--- a/kernel/trace/fgraph.c
+++ b/kernel/trace/fgraph.c
@@ -641,7 +641,7 @@ int function_graph_enter(unsigned long ret, unsigned long func,
 	{
 		for_each_set_bit(i, &fgraph_array_bitmask,
 					 sizeof(fgraph_array_bitmask) * BITS_PER_BYTE) {
-			struct fgraph_ops *gops = fgraph_array[i];
+			struct fgraph_ops *gops = READ_ONCE(fgraph_array[i]);
 			int save_curr_ret_stack;
 
 			if (gops == &fgraph_stub)


Because if the compiler decides to re-read gops from fgraph_array[i] after the
above check for the following line that does:

			save_curr_ret_stack = current->curr_ret_stack;
			if (ftrace_ops_test(&gops->ops, func, NULL) &&
			    gops->entryfunc(&trace, gops))
				bitmap |= BIT(i);


and gops now points to fgraph_stub, it will trigger this bug.

Can you apply the above change and see if the bug goes away?

Thanks,
