Thank you for trying, but I just realized that it tells us only when it
underflows, but we don't see where the actual extra decrement happens
before that.

Can you please enable CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER and add

'trace_event=preemptirq:preempt_disable,preemptirq:preempt_enable ftrace_dump_on_oops'

to the kernel command line. The latter will dump the recorded
preempt_enable/disable events and we can pinpoint the function which is
responsible for that.

Thanks,
