When building the latest kernel/selftest with clang17 compiler:
make LLVM=1 -j <== for kernel
make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf LLVM=1 -j <== for selftest
I hit the following compilation error:
[...]

Basically, with header files in my local host which is based on 5.12 kernel,
__always_inline is not defined and this caused compilation failure.
Since __always_inline is defined in bpf_helpers.h, let us move bpf_helpers.h
to an early position which fixed the problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
