+# Prerequisites for building lttng-modules.
+#
+# These machines have no BSP description in yocto-kernel-cache and build
+# from an upstream defconfig via KBUILD_DEFCONFIG, so the standard kernel
+# type's configuration is never applied and neither the arm nor the arm64
+# defconfig enables what lttng-modules needs.
+#
+# kprobes is required outright: src/wrapper/kallsyms.c fails to compile
+# without it on kernels >= 5.7.
+#
+# Tracepoints are what lttng-modules actually traces with, but that
+# symbol has no prompt and can only be selected, so enabling the function
+# tracer is what pulls it in. Without tracepoints lttng-modules builds no
+# modules at all rather than failing, leaving an empty package behind.
