Ok, so I can reproduce on a few 32 bits configs with ftrace enabled.
Looks like some non volatile GPRs get corrupted. I don't know yet if
ftrace is the culprit though, I couldn't find anything obviously wrong
with the mcount implementation we have.
It looks like the corrupted GPR has been saved/restored on the stack
and that the corruption is due to the stack itself being written
to. It's not clear by whome though and in what circumstances.
We'll have to dig more.
Cheers,
Ben.
