The build test robot pointer out that there's a build failure when: CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=y CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n ... due to some mismatched ifdeffery, some of which checks CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and some of which checks CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, leading to some missing definitions expected by the core code when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n and consequently CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n. There's really not much point in supporting CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n (AKA static ftrace). All supported toolchains allow us to implement DYNAMIC_FTRACE, distributions all prefer DYNAMIC_FTRACE, and both powerpc and s390 removed support for static ftrace in commits:0c0c52306f("powerpc: Only support DYNAMIC_FTRACE not static")5d6a016349("s390/ftrace: enforce DYNAMIC_FTRACE if FUNCTION_TRACER is selected") ... and according to Steven, static ftrace is only supported on x86 to allow testing that the core code still functions in this configuration. Given that, let's simplify matters by removing arm64's support for static ftrace. This avoids the problem originally reported, and leaves us with less code to maintain.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
