When building objtool with HOSTCC=clang, there are several errors along the lines of orc_dump.c:201:28: error: unknown attribute 'error' ignored [-Werror,-Wunknown-attributes] This occurs after commit4e59869aa6("compiler-gcc.h: drop checks for older GCC versions"), which removed the GCC_VERSION gating. The removed version check just so happened to prevent __compiletime_error() from being defined with clang because it pretends to be GCC 4.2.1 for compatibility but the error attribute was not added to clang until 14.0.0. Commit815f0ddb34("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually exclusive") and commita3f8a30f3f("Compiler Attributes: use feature checks instead of version checks") refactored the handling of attributes in the main kernel to avoid situations like this but that refactoring has never been done for the tools directory. Refactoring is a rather large undertaking and this has never been an issue before so instead, just guard the definition of __compiletime_error() with __has_attribute() so that there are no more errors.

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.
