I have tried the calls to instrumentation_{begin,end}() in
enter_from_kernel_mode(), see [1]. But this problem can still be
reproduced, maybe more complete calltrace info [2] is needed for
analyzing.

Did I add the instrumentation_{begin,end}() in wrong place or is there 
other caller need noinstr?
