Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada: - allow users to invoke 'make' out of the source tree - refactor scripts/mkmakefile - deprecate KBUILD_SRC, which was used to track the source tree location for O= build. - fix recordmcount.pl in case objdump output is localized - turn unresolved symbols in external modules to errors from warnings by default; pass KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1 to get them back to warnings - generate modules.builtin.modinfo to collect .modinfo data from built-in modules - misc Makefile cleanups * tag 'kbuild-v5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (21 commits) .gitignore: add more all*.config patterns moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file Remove MODULE_ALIAS() calls that take undefined macro .gitignore: add leading and trailing slashes to generated directories scripts/tags.sh: fix direct execution of scripts/tags.sh scripts: override locale from environment when running recordmcount.pl samples: kobject: allow CONFIG_SAMPLE_KOBJECT to become y samples: seccomp: turn CONFIG_SAMPLE_SECCOMP into a bool option kbuild: move Documentation to vmlinux-alldirs kbuild: move samples/ to KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS modpost: make KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN also configurable for external modules kbuild: check arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated before out-of-tree build kbuild: remove unneeded dependency for include/config/kernel.release memory: squash drivers/memory/Makefile.asm-offsets kbuild: use $(srctree) instead of KBUILD_SRC to check out-of-tree build kbuild: mkmakefile: generate a simple wrapper of top Makefile kbuild: mkmakefile: do not check the generated Makefile marker kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory kbuild: pass $(MAKECMDGOALS) to sub-make as is kbuild: fix warning "overriding recipe for target 'Makefile'" ...
