In linus' tree we have:
76fe0337c219 ftrace: Add arguments to function tracer
c7a60a733c37 ftrace: Have funcgraph-args take affect during tracing
ff5c9c576e75 ftrace: Add support for function argument to graph tracer
533c20b062d7 ftrace: Add print_function_args()
3d44e1d1575a md: switch personalities to use md_submodule_head

3d44e1d1575a md: switch personalities to use md_submodule_head
builds fine.

533c20b062d7 ftrace: Add print_function_args()
is the first one to fail but with:
kernel/trace/trace_output.c: In function ‘print_function_args’:
kernel/trace/trace_output.c:724:26: error: ‘FTRACE_REGS_MAX_ARGS’ undeclared (first use in this function)
  724 |                 if (a == FTRACE_REGS_MAX_ARGS) {
      |                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/trace/trace_output.c:724:26: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

then 
ff5c9c576e75 ftrace: Add support for function argument to graph tracer
shows

aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: Unexpected GOT/PLT entries detected!
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: Unexpected run-time procedure linkages detected!

fails just like reported linus' tree.
