The CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS option can be set when compiling the kernel. If your
kernel is not compiled with this option, then it must be recompiled.

With make menuconfig, enable the option by selecting this item:

Kernel hacking ---> Tracers

Then, after compilation and installation of the new kernel and a reboot,
lttng-modules should build.

If you want to specify the source directory of the kernel for
lttng-modules, use the env var like this:

KERNELDIR=../dir-to-linux make modules
