Looking at generated code for handle_signal32() shows calls to a function called __unsafe_save_user_regs.constprop.0 while user access is open.
And that __unsafe_save_user_regs.constprop.0 function has two nops at the begining, allowing it to be traced, which is unexpected during user access open window. The solution could be to mark __unsafe_save_user_regs() no trace, but to be on the safe side the most efficient is to flag it __always_inline as already done for function __unsafe_restore_general_regs(). The function is relatively small and only called twice, so the size increase will remain in the noise. Do the same with save_tm_user_regs_unsafe() as it may suffer the same issue.
