> - Launch an AWS c4.large instance running Noble.
> - Install the generic 6.8 kernel and boot into it.
> - Clone the noble:linux tree and cd to it.
> - Go to tools/testing/selftests/ftrace
> - Run `sudo ./ftracetest test.d/event/subsystem-enable.tc` a couple of times.
> The test is expected to fail.
> - Apply this patch and run `sudo ./ftracetest test.d/event/subsystem-enable.tc`
> a couple of times again. The test should now always pass.
