I didn't realize that the issue was a buffer overrun. I tested the
kernel built with this simple fix and it works ok now. i.e. this patch
is is all that's needed:

The change is so small it shouldn't require any rebasing. Just send the
patch to these emails (from MAINTAINERS):

No problem. It actually made sleepgraph better because it exposed a bug
in the ftrace processing code. I wasn't properly handling the corner
case where ftrace had binary data in it.
