This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-mtk/5.15.0-1030.34 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-mtk' to 'verification-done-jammy- linux-mtk'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification- needed-jammy-linux-mtk' to 'verification-failed-jammy-linux-mtk'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

The culprit is the `cat` command on the changing trace file. [Fix] * 25b9513872 selftests/ftrace: Stop tracing while reading the trace file by default This patch can be cherry-picked into Jammy. I didn't see this issue in our 5.4 kernels. And it's already landed in newer kernels. [Test] On an ARM64 testing node, apply this patch to the kernel tree and run event-pid.tc test in linux/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace with: sudo ./ftracetest -vvv test.d/event/event-pid.tc The test should finish within a few minutes. [Regression Potential] Change limited to testing tools, it should not have any actual impact to kernel functions. == Original Bug Report == First time seen this since ftrace refactor out from ubuntu_kernel_selftests to ubuntu-kselftests-ftrace Issue found on ARM64 nodes with both generic / generic-64k kernel.
