So, it looks like bpf_tracing_func_proto is only defined when
CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS is set:

        obj-$(CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS) += bpf_trace.o

We have a few options:

* Add a __weak symbol for bpf_tracing_func_proto which we have done in
  the past for similar issues. This however, does not make much sense,
  as CONFIG_BPF_LSM cannot really do much without its helpers.
* Make CONFIG_BPF_LSM depend on CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS, this should solve
  it, but not for this particular Kconfig that was generated. Randy,
  I am assuming if we add the dependency, this particular Kconfig
  won't be generated.

I am assuming this patch now needs to be sent for "bpf" and not
"bpf-next" as the merge window has opened?

Thanks for adding me Daniel, taking a look.
