Kernel 5.5.4 build fail for BPF-selftests with latest LLVM
From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer

Hi Andrii,
Downloaded tarball for kernel release 5.5.4, and I cannot compile
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ with latest LLVM release version 9.
Looking closer at the build error messages, I can see that this is
caused by using LLVM features that (I assume) will be avail in release
10. I find it very strange that we can release a kernel that have build
dependencies on a unreleased version of LLVM.
I'm willing to help out, such that we can do either version or feature
detection, to either skip compiling specific test programs or at least
give users a proper warning of they are using a too "old" LLVM version.
I love the new LLVM BTF features, but we cannot break users/CI-systems
that wants to run the BPF-selftests.
