In 4.17 kernel, x86 build requires compiler asm-goto support. clang
does not support asm-goto and bpf program compilation started to break.

      x86/cpufeature: Guard asm_volatile_goto usage for BPF compilation

      Workaround for the sake of BPF compilation which utilizes kernel
      headers, but clang does not support ASM GOTO and fails the build.

workarounded the issue by permitting native clang compilation.
A warning message, however, is issued:

  ./arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h:150:2: warning: "Compiler lacks ASM_GOTO support.
        Add -D __BPF_TRACING__ to your compiler arguments" [-W#warnings]
  #warning "Compiler lacks ASM_GOTO support. Add -D __BPF_TRACING__ to your compil...
   ^
  1 warning generated.

This patch added "-D __BPF_TRACING__" to clang frontend compilation to
suppress the warning.
