sure I'll test it.. can't see the original email,
perhaps I wasn't cc-ed.. but I'll find it

is this also related to tracing 'idle' functions,
as discussed in here?
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220515203653.4039075-1-jolsa@kernel.org/

because that's the one I can reproduce.. but I can
certainly try that with your change as well
