What does

./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o exc_nmi+0x2b3

say?

I guess it should point to io_check_error()'s udelay().

If so, it is noinline:

81423c37415f ("x86/timer: Don't inline __const_udelay()")

I can't trigger it here with

gcc-11 (Debian 11.2.0-19) 11.2.0

Which is weird because the asm looks like it should warn.

Does it go away if you remove the noinline before __const_udelay()?
