When I add CONFIG_FTRACE and enter-key my way through the FTRACE prompts - I 
believe because CONFIG_FTRACE is a menuconfig? - at the beginning of a build, 
CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS does get set on arm64, yes.

On X86, the defconfig already includes CONIFG_TRACEPOINTS.

I also had a closer look at how kunit.py builds its configs.
I believe it does something along the following lines:

	cp <path_to_kunitconfig> .kunit/.config
	make ARCH=arm64 O=.kunit olddefconfig

On arm64, that isn't enough to set CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS; same behaviour when run 
outside of kunit.py.

For CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS, `make ARCH=arm64 menuconfig` shows:

	Symbol: TRACEPOINTS [=n]
	Type  : bool
	Defined at init/Kconfig:1920
	Selected by [n]:
		- TRACING [=n]
		- BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE [=n] && FTRACE [=y] && SYSFS [=y] && BLOCK [=y]

So, CONFIG_TRACING or CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE are the two options that prevent 
CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS from being set on arm64.

For CONFIG_TRACING we have:

	Symbol: TRACING [=n]
	Type  : bool
	Defined at kernel/trace/Kconfig:157
	Selects: RING_BUFFER [=n] && STACKTRACE [=y] && TRACEPOINTS [=n] && NOP_TRACER [=n] && BINARY_PRINTF [=n] && EVENT_TRACING [=n] && TRACE_CLOCK [=y] && TASKS_RCU [=n]
	Selected by [n]:
		- DRM_I915_TRACE_GEM [=n] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM_I915 [=n] && EXPERT [=n] && DRM_I915_DEBUG_GEM [=n]
		- DRM_I915_TRACE_GTT [=n] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM_I915 [=n] && EXPERT [=n] && DRM_I915_DEBUG_GEM [=n]
		- PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS [=n] && (TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE [=n] || TRACE_IRQFLAGS [=n])
		- GENERIC_TRACER [=n]
		- ENABLE_DEFAULT_TRACERS [=n] && FTRACE [=y] && !GENERIC_TRACER [=n]
		- FPROBE_EVENTS [=n] && FTRACE [=y] && FPROBE [=n] && HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API [=y]
		- KPROBE_EVENTS [=n] && FTRACE [=y] && KPROBES [=n] && HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API [=y]
		- UPROBE_EVENTS [=n] && FTRACE [=y] && ARCH_SUPPORTS_UPROBES [=y] && MMU [=y] && PERF_EVENTS [=n]
		- SYNTH_EVENTS [=n] && FTRACE [=y]
		- USER_EVENTS [=n] && FTRACE [=y]
		- HIST_TRIGGERS [=n] && FTRACE [=y] && ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG [=y]

If we want a minimal config, setting CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE, 
CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENTS or CONFIG_USER_EVENTS seem like viable options, for 
instance. But AFAICT, setting them in the context of KASan doesn't really make 
sense, and I might be missing an obvious choice here too.

What do you think?
