When DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5 is selected, pahole 1.21+ is required to enable
DEBUG_INFO_BTF.
When DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 or DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT is selected,
DEBUG_INFO_BTF can be enabled without pahole installed, but a build error
will occur in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh:
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
BTF: .tmp_vmlinux1: pahole (pahole) is not available
Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
We did not guard DEBUG_INFO_BTF by PAHOLE_VERSION when previously
discussed [1].
However, commit 613fe16923 ("kbuild: Add CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION")
added CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION after all. Now several CONFIG options, as
well as the combination of DEBUG_INFO_BTF and DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5, are
guarded by PAHOLE_VERSION.
The remaining compile-time check in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh now appears
to be an awkward inconsistency.
This commit adopts Nathan's original work.
