Not sure if this is helpful, but the following also caused a crash for
me:

echo "p:trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo "p:memcpy memcpy" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable

[immediate crash]

The crash point for me is in the arm64 ASID allocator, it again looks
like the interrupts are in an unexpected state.
(check_and_switch_context goes down the irqs disabled code path, I
think incorrectly).

This occurred for me both with and without the proposed irq saving fix.

I will do some more digging.

Cheers,
