Thanks for checking, I also took a look at the attached kernel_selftests.xz,
here is what it has:
2019-06-21 11:58:35 ln -sf /usr/bin/clang-6.0 /usr/bin/clang
2019-06-21 11:58:35 ln -sf /usr/bin/llc-6.0 /usr/bin/llc
...
# BTF libbpf test[1] (test_btf_haskv.o): SKIP. No ELF .BTF found
# BTF libbpf test[2] (test_btf_nokv.o): SKIP. No ELF .BTF found
...
# Test case #0 (btf_dump_test_case_syntax): test_btf_dump_case:71:FAIL
# failed to load test BTF: -2
# Test case #1 (btf_dump_test_case_ordering): test_btf_dump_case:71:FAIL
# failed to load test BTF: -2
...

And so on. So there is clearly an old clang that doesn't emit any
BTF. And I also don't see your recent abd29c931459 before 69d96519dbf0 in
linux-next, that's why it doesn't complain about missing/corrupt BTF.

We need to convince lkp people to upgrade clang, otherwise, I suppose,
we'll get more of these reportings after your recent df0b77925982 :-(
