Commit 2860cd8a2353 ("livepatch: Use the default ftrace_ops instead of
REGS when ARGS is available") intends to enable config LIVEPATCH when
ftrace with ARGS is available. However, the chain of configs to enable
LIVEPATCH is incomplete, as HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is available,
but the definition of DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, combining DYNAMIC_FTRACE
and HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, needed to enable LIVEPATCH, is missing
in the commit.

Fortunately, ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py detects this and warns:

DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS
Referencing files: kernel/livepatch/Kconfig

So, define the config DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS analogously to the already
existing similar configs, DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS and
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS, in ./kernel/trace/Kconfig to connect the
chain of configs.

Steven, thanks for the quick response; please pick this quick config fix.

FYI, we don't add # 5.10.x anymore. The Fixes tag above is what
determines where it gets backported to.

I placed it in my queue to go into the 5.14-rc cycle.

Since this affects live kernel patching, can I get a Tested-by from one
of the live kernel patching  folks?

Thanks!

I see it got merged, but anyway it looks good to me. Thanks for fixing it.

Ah, I was going to wait for an ack, but it slipped into my push (I was
going to take it out, but forgot to).

Anyway, thanks for looking at it.
