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 commit 4e59869aa655 ("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.

Commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive") and commit a3f8a30f3f00 ("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.

Fixes: 4e59869aa655 ("compiler-gcc.h: drop checks for older GCC versions")

Once upgrading the minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1, we can drop
the fallback code for !COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW.

This is effectively a revert of commit f0907827a8a9 ("compiler.h: enable
builtin overflow checkers and add fallback code")

<title>tools headers: Remove broken definition of __LITTLE_ENDIAN</title>

<id>fa2c02e5798c17c89cbb3135940086ebe07e5c9f</id>
<content type='text'>
The linux/kconfig.h file was copied from the kernel but the line where
with the generated/autoconf.h include from where the CONFIG_ entries
would come from was deleted, as tools/ build system don't create that
file, so we ended up always defining just __LITTLE_ENDIAN as
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN was nowhere to be found.

This in turn ended up breaking the build in some systems where
__LITTLE_ENDIAN was already defined, such as the androind NDK.

So just ditch that block that depends on the CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
define.

The kconfig.h file was copied just to get IS_ENABLED() and a
'make -C tools/all' doesn't breaks with this removal.

GENMASK() has an input check which uses __builtin_choose_expr() to
enable a compile time sanity check of its inputs if they are known at
compile time.

However, it turns out that __builtin_constant_p() does not always return
a compile time constant [0].  It was thought this problem was fixed with
gcc 4.9 [1], but apparently this is not the case [2].

Switch to use __is_constexpr() instead which always returns a compile time
constant, regardless of its inputs.
