I looks like another problem. I would expect that it is in
the ftrace code, either in the generic or arch-specific part.

Yeah. This is part of arch-specific code that does init of ftrace
out line stubs. The problem seems to be since commit 1ba9f8979426
("vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and related macros").
Before this commit, .text.startup section was featured in INIT_TEXT
but now it seems to feature in TEXT. Is this change right/intentional?
If yes, I can post a fix patch in ftrace arch-specific code accordingly.

Ah, I wasn't aware of .text.startup.  Apparently it's used by KASAN,
KCSCAN and GCOV for a significant amount of constructor code, which is
only called during boot.  So we should try to keep it in .init.text.

Venkat, does this fix it?

I tried the patch along with

It fixes the problems reported. Thanks!
