James Wang has reproduced it stably on the latest 4.19 LTS.
After some debugging, we finally proved that it's due to ftrace
buffer out-of-bound access using a debug tool as follows:

commit 1183ece32af9 ("tracing: Check length before giving out
the filter buffer") adds length check to protect trace data
overflow introduced in 17619fe65e50, seems that this fix can't prevent
overflow entirely, the length check should also take the sizeof
entry->array[0] into account, since this array[0] is filled the
length of trace data and occupy addtional space and risk overflow.
