Hello everyone,

I want to use a ftrace tool. In the hikey970_defconfig kernel configuration from https://github.com/96boards-hikey/linux/tree/hikey970-v4.9 CONFIG_FTRACE is not set.
When i set it manually CONFIG_FTRACE using menuconfig the kernel fails to compile.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Here is the menuconfig window with minimum selection in the kernel hacking → tracing window

Here are errors that I get:
# make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_COMPILE -j5
