With latest clang18 (main branch of llvm-project repo), when building bpf selftests,
[~/work/bpf-next (master)]$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf LLVM=1 -j
The following compilation error happens:
fatal error: error in backend: Branch target out of insn range
...

The compilation failure only happens to cpu=v2 and cpu=v3. cpu=v4 is okay
since cpu=v4 supports 32-bit branch target offset.
The above failure is due to upstream llvm patch [1] where some inlining behavior
are changed in clang18.
To workaround the issue, previously all 180 loop iterations are fully unrolled.
The bpf macro __BPF_CPU_VERSION__ (implemented in clang18 recently) is used to avoid
unrolling changes if cpu=v4. If __BPF_CPU_VERSION__ is not available and the
compiler is clang18, the unrollng amount is unconditionally reduced.

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.
