Deja vu. Most of these are related to perf PEBS, similar to the
following issue:
b8000586c90b ("perf/x86/intel: Cure bogus unwind from PEBS entries")
This is basically the ORC version of that. setup_pebs_sample_data() is
assembling a franken-pt_regs which ORC isn't happy about. RIP is
inconsistent with some of the other registers (like RSP and RBP).
Peter, any ideas?
