android kernel compiling error for arm64 (msm8996)

Question

I'm trying to compile my custom kernel for an arm64 android device having an msm8996 SOC. I cloned my Kernel on GitHub just to make sure I have a fully clean code. Then I exported these:

export PATH=/home/nico/Downloads/kernel/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin:$PATH
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android-
export ARCH=arm64
export SUBARCH=arm64

Keep in mind that the msm8996 has two dual-core clusters which are both arm64. I tried compiling using the stock gcc 4.9 toolchain which is shiped with the Cyanogenmod sources and then I tried it using two of the UberTC 4.9 toolchains which can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/UBERTC/ aarch64-linux-android-4.9-kernel and aarch64-linux-android-4.9 (I dunno exactly what's the difference between those two). Every time I retried building my kernel I performed a

make mrproper

and also deleted the ccache folder. Then I performed a

make cm_pme_defconfig

and finally a

make -j2

I also tried the same procedure with

make -j1

I couldn't find anyone else who got the same error so I decided to post it here. Here's the error message in my terminal:

In file included from drivers/net/ethernet/msm/rndis_ipa_trace.h:81:0,

#include TRACE_INCLUDE(TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE)
                                           ^
compilation terminated.

Furthermore here's my kernel on my GitHub https://github.com/nico151999/android_kernel_htc_msm8996

I really need your help though the solution to the problem may be quite obvious. Thanks a lot in advance ;)

actually based on this commit i found global answer take look :

diff --git a/drivers/platform/msm/ipa/ipa_v2/ipa_trace.h b/drivers/platform/msm/ipa/ipa_v2/ipa_trace.h
