OTOH, what does 'truning on dftrace' exactly mean? Just enabling it in the .config, or also activating it via /debug/tracing/current_tracer?

Just enabling it in the .config is enough to trigger the behaviour change. I'm not explicitly activating any traces.

ok, that would be a clear ftrace bug i guess?

It's either an ftrace bug or a fragile load balancer bug. I wonder if it's related somehow to the stop_machine() call in ftrace_dynamic_init()?
