DWARF v5 is the latest standard of the DWARF debug info format.

Feature detection of DWARF5 is onerous, especially given that we've
removed $(AS), so we must query $(CC) for DWARF5 assembler directive
support.

The DWARF version of a binary can be validated with:
$ llvm-dwarfdump vmlinux | head -n 4 | grep version
or
$ readelf --debug-dump=info vmlinux 2>/dev/null | grep Version

DWARF5 wins significantly in terms of size when mixed with compression
(CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED).

363M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf5.compressed
434M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf4.compressed
439M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf2.compressed
457M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf5
536M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf4
548M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf2

515M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf5.compressed
599M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf4.compressed
624M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf2.compressed
630M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf5
765M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf4
809M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf2

Though the quality of debug info is harder to quantify; size is not a
proxy for quality.

Jakub notes:
  All [GCC] 5.1 - 6.x did was start accepting -gdwarf-5 as experimental
  option that enabled some small DWARF subset (initially only a few
  DW_LANG_* codes newly added to DWARF5 drafts).  Only GCC 7 (released
  after DWARF 5 has been finalized) started emitting DWARF5 section
  headers and got most of the DWARF5 changes in...

Version check GCC so that we don't need to worry about the difference in
command line args between GNU readelf and llvm-readelf/llvm-dwarfdump to
validate the DWARF Version in the assembler feature detection script.

GNU `as` only recently gained support for specifying -gdwarf-5, so when
compiling with Clang but without Clang's integrated assembler
(LLVM_IAS=1 is not set), explicitly add -Wa,-gdwarf-5 to DEBUG_CFLAGS.

Disabled for now if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is set; pahole doesn't yet
recognize the new additions to the DWARF debug info. Thanks to Sedat for
the report.
