Hi Steven,

Commit 2860cd8a2353 ("livepatch: Use the default ftrace_ops instead of
REGS when ARGS is available") adds a dependency on a non-existing
config DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, see diff:

diff --git a/kernel/livepatch/Kconfig b/kernel/livepatch/Kconfig

Did you intend to depend on the existing "HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS" here?

Or did you intend to add a new config DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS
analogously to DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS as defined in
./kernel/trace/Kconfig (see below)?

config DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS
def_bool y
depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE
depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS

I am happy to provide a patch, once I understand what was intended here.
