It's more of a question if something should be backported because it happens to fix a long standing issue. It appears that the ftrace mcount sorttable code was broken if you built a 64 bit kernel on a 32 bit machine. I'm guessing it was broken since 5.17? A recent update to this code coincidentally fixes that issue. That update landed in 6.14. The question is, is it fine to backport the changes that fix this? It may not be totally trivial to do so, but I could likely just backport the changes that address this issue. -- Steve
