Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
- remove unneeded asm headers from hexagon, ia64
- add 'dir-pkg' target, which works like 'tar-pkg' but skips archiving
- add 'helpnewconfig' target, which shows help for new CONFIG options
- support 'make nsdeps' for external modules
- make rebuilds faster by deleting $(wildcard $^) checks
- remove compile tests for kernel-space headers
- refactor modpost to simplify modversion handling
- make single target builds faster
- optimize and clean up scripts/kallsyms.c
- refactor various Makefiles and scripts
