This is with riscv64 defconfig, tracing shenanigans and the following
bootconfig and the bug was realized in QEMU:

ftrace {
	tracing_on = 0
	tracer = "function_graph"
	event {
		kprobes.pci_proc_init_begin {
			probes = "pci_proc_init"
			actions = "traceon"
		}
		kprobes.pci_proc_init_end {
			probes = "pci_proc_init%return"
			actions = "traceoff"
		}
	}
}

kernel {
	console = hvc0
	dyndbg = "file arch/riscv/kernel/* +p"
	earlycon = sbi
	memblock = debug
	memtest = 1
	tp_printk
	frace_dump_on_oops
}
