I don't think the commit is to be blamed. The availability of the driver option 
-fpatchable-function-entry= enables `CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS` and 
`CONFIG_LIVEPATCH`, which were not tested before. There could be other issues 
in the code path.

  % rg fpatchable-function-entry
  arch/arm64/Kconfig
  147:            if $(cc-option,-fpatchable-function-entry=2)
  
  arch/arm64/Makefile
  100:  CC_FLAGS_FTRACE := -fpatchable-function-entry=2

If we can explicitly disable the options in the CI, that will be very nice.
