When CONFIG_MODULES is disabled, we cannot dereference a module pointer:

arch/arm64/kernel/ftrace.c: In function 'ftrace_make_call':
arch/arm64/kernel/ftrace.c:107:36: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'struct module'
   trampoline = (unsigned long *)mod->arch.ftrace_trampoline;

Also, the within_module() function is not defined:

arch/arm64/kernel/ftrace.c: In function 'ftrace_make_nop':
arch/arm64/kernel/ftrace.c:171:8: error: implicit declaration of function 'within_module'; did you mean 'init_module'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

This addresses both by adding the appropriate stubs.

I can't seem to reproduce this simply by disabling MODULES in defconfig.
Could you share your .config, please?
This is the randconfig I used: https://pastebin.com/SfKBY7f8
