In my ARM randconfig tests, I'm getting a build error for

whenever CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is disabled:

This can happen when UPROBE_EVENT is enabled but KPROBE_EVENT
is disabled. I'm not sure if that is a configuration we care
about, otherwise we could prevent this case from occuring by
adding Kconfig dependencies.

I think that seems better than spreading #if IS_ENABLEDs into the code.
Probably enough to add a 'depends on PERF_EVENTS' to config BPF_EVENTS,
so it's also explicitly documented.


So just do the following then?

-- Steve

diff --git a/kernel/trace/Kconfig b/kernel/trace/Kconfig
index 8d6363f42169..f5aecff2d243 100644
--- a/kernel/trace/Kconfig
+++ b/kernel/trace/Kconfig
@@ -434,7 +434,7 @@ config UPROBE_EVENT

config BPF_EVENTS
depends on BPF_SYSCALL
- depends on KPROBE_EVENT || UPROBE_EVENT
+ depends on KPROBE_EVENT && UPROBE_EVENT

yeah that's definitely cleaner and avoids ifdef creep in the future.

Agreed, that's better.
