The !CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON stubs use ktime_add(), ktime_get() and TICK_NSEC,
but tick.h includes neither <linux/ktime.h> nor <linux/jiffies.h>. Most
configurations build only because those declarations arrive transitively.
Commit
6440966067dc ("cpuset: Remove cpuset_cpu_is_isolated()") removed
<linux/cpuset.h> from <linux/sched/isolation.h>. The <linux/cpuset.h>
include chain had been satisfying these declarations before <linux/tick.h>
was parsed. Commit
8aa76aa41589 ("ring-buffer: Use a housekeeping CPU to
wake up waiters") then added <linux/sched/isolation.h> to ring_buffer.c
ahead of any header which provides them. Neither change is wrong on its
own: the failure requires both and appeared in v7.0.
ARM rpc_defconfig + CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER fails to build:
$ make ARCH=arm rpc_defconfig
$ ./scripts/config -e FTRACE -e FUNCTION_TRACER
$ make ARCH=arm olddefconfig
$ make ARCH=arm kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o
