This is what happens on the following build error: kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range': (.text+0x52f64): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_register_noupdate' kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range': (.text+0x52f74): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate' kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range': (.text+0x52fb9): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate' kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probes': marker.c:(.text+0x530ba): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_update_all' CONFIG_KVM_TRACE will select CONFIG_MARKER, but the latter depends on CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS which will not be selected.
