This is because ktest does a make mrproper for the first patch, but just uses the dependencies for the patches after that. But one of the patches modified both the way recordmcount worked, and what ftrace expected in the kernel. Since modification of recordmcount does not force updates to all object files, the expectation that ftrace had on the object files was incorrect and caused ftrace to fail. This is an RFC to modify fixdep to allow addition of files that would be added as dependencies to all objects in the kernel. Thoughts?
