I hit a similar issue to [0] on master
943b043aeecc ("selftests/bpf: Fix bench runner SIGSEGV")
when cross-compiling on x86_64 (LE) to s390x (BE).
I do have CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enable and the issue would not trigger if
I disabled CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF (and with the fix mentioned in [0]).

What seems to happen is that `tools/resolve_btfids` is ran in the context of the
host endianess and if I printk before the WARN_ON:
diff --git a/kernel/bpf/btf.c b/kernel/bpf/btf.c

+ printk("Flag 0x%08X, expected 0x%08X\n", kset->set->flags, BTF_SET8_KFUNCS);
WARN_ON(!kset->owner);
return -EINVAL;
}

the boot logs would show:
Flag 0x01000000, expected 0x00000001

The issue did not happen prior to
6f3189f38a3e ("bpf: treewide: Annotate BPF kfuncs in BTF")
has only 0 was written before.

It seems [1] will be addressing cross-compilation, but it did not fix it as is
by just applying on top of master, so probably some of the changes will also need
to be ported to `tools/include/linux/btf_ids.h`?

A hacky workaround to cross-compilation I have is to apply:

This causes `resolve_btfids` to be compiled in the target endianess and gets
magically run provided that the hosts has `qemu-s390x-static` and a functional
binfmt_misc [2] on the host, but having this using host architecture per [1]
is likely better.

Here are steps to reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 23.10 and assuming
danobi/vmtest [3] is installed:

XPLATFORM="s390x"
XARCH="s390"
# Set up repo for s390x
cat <<EOF >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/s390x.list
deb [arch=s390x] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports mantic main restricted
deb [arch=s390x] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports mantic-updates main restricted
EOF
sudo dpkg --add-architecture s390x

apt install qemu-system-s390x qemu-user-static g{cc,++}-"${XARCH}-linux-gnu" {libelf-dev,libssl-dev,pkgconf}:s390x

KBUILD_OUTPUT_DIR="/tmp/kbuild-${XPLATFORM}"
mkdir "${KBUILD_OUTPUT_DIR}"
cat tools/testing/selftests/bpf/config{,.vm,.${XPLATFORM}} > ${KBUILD_OUTPUT_DIR}/.config

make ARCH="${XARCH}" CROSS_COMPILE="${XPLATFORM}-linux-gnu-" O="${KBUILD_OUTPUT_DIR}" -j$((4 * $(nproc))) olddefconfig
make ARCH="${XARCH}" CROSS_COMPILE="${XPLATFORM}-linux-gnu-" O="${KBUILD_OUTPUT_DIR}" -j$((4 * $(nproc))) all

# No need for a s390x ubuntu 23.10 rootfs, we only care about booting the kernel
vmtest -k "${KBUILD_OUTPUT_DIR}/arch/s390/boot/bzImage" -a s390x "uname -m" | cat
