One detail. If you get a trace through the "trace" file, you will have
no problem.
But if you cat trace_pipe, leaf functions are considered as nested.

This is because iter->buffer_iter[iter->cpu]; is very often (always?)
false by using this file.
I don't know why yet....
But it makes the tracer unable to check the next entry to verify if it
matches its own return.
