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.

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 reStructuredText 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.
