Interesting ...

Yes, exactly, that's what's happening.

Here's the output kunit.py is giving me. I replaced CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL with 
CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS in my .kunitconfig. Otherwise, it's identical with the one I 
posted above.

	➜   ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=mm/kasan/.kunitconfig --arch=arm64
	Configuring KUnit Kernel ...
	Regenerating .config ...
	Populating config with:
	$ make ARCH=arm64 O=.kunit olddefconfig
	ERROR:root:Not all Kconfig options selected in kunitconfig were in the generated .config.
	This is probably due to unsatisfied dependencies.
	Missing: CONFIG_KASAN_KUNIT_TEST=y, CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y

Does CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS have some dependency I'm not seeing? I couldn't find a 
reason why it would get disabled, but I could definitely be wrong.

Many thanks,
