sys-kernel/coreos-modules: arm64: Enable CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS

[arilou]

This config enables the syscall tracepoints which are mainly used by different security and observability tools.

Related to: flatcar/Flatcar#1617

[tormath1]

Thanks! As this configuration has moved into the commonconfig file, we can remove it from the the amd64 config file as well:

scripts/sdk_container/src/third_party/coreos-overlay/sys-kernel/coreos-modules/files/amd64_defconfig-6.6

Line 44 in 8d41832

CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS=y

A changelog entry will be needed similar to this PR: #2484

[arilou]

Done

[tormath1]

Thanks, I kicked-off a CI build. Changelog entry is still missing but it does not impact the CI run.

[arilou]

Thanks! Done

Failures in the CI are not related to this change (it happens when the test run from a fork).

LGTM but I will let you confirm:

Looks good! Thanks you

(FYI, I'm holding this PR until the current release is done to avoid any confusion)

Hello @arilou,

I am sorry it's on me, I totally dropped the ball on this. Any chance to rebase this PR on current main branch? This will have a small conflict because Kernel has been upgraded from 6.6 to 6.12, as it is a two line changes, I would suggested to simply restart from scratch instead of rebasing with git.

I am so sorry again. 🙏

Thanks, it looks like the 6.12 changes have not been pushed? I only see the changelog entry: https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/pull/2600/files

[arilou]

My bad sorry, fixed

[tormath1]

Thanks a lot @arilou this will be available in next Alpha and Beta releases.
