Applied this patch on top of linux-trace.git trace/core and test passed.
All the reported issues have been resolved.

I use following build artifacts and running selftests: ftrace: ftracetest-ktap

   kernel:
      url:
        https://storage.tuxsuite.com/public/linaro/naresh/builds/2XT84xYJIMmKApmqOOtKhnLdCyz/bzImage
    modules:
      url:
        https://storage.tuxsuite.com/public/linaro/naresh/builds/2XT84xYJIMmKApmqOOtKhnLdCyz/modules.tar.xz
      compression: xz
    nfsrootfs:
      url: https://storage.tuxboot.com/debian/bookworm/amd64/rootfs.tar.xz
 kselftest:
          url:
            https://storage.tuxsuite.com/public/linaro/naresh/builds/2XT84xYJIMmKApmqOOtKhnLdCyz/kselftest.tar.xz


Steps to test:
==========

1) Boot x86 machine with above bzImage, modules, rootfs and
copy kselftest.tar.xz from above url and unzip.
2) cd /opt/kselftests/default-in-kernel/ftrace
3) ./run_kselftest.sh  -c ftrace


# selftests: ftrace: ftracetest-ktap
# unlink: cannot unlink
'/opt/kselftests/default-in-kernel/ftrace/logs/latest': No such file
or directory
# TAP version 13
# 1..129
# ok 1 Basic trace file check
...
# # Totals: pass:126 faii:0 xfail:1 xpass:0 skip:1 error:1
