Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada: - Evaluate $(call cc-option,...) etc. only for build targets - Add CONFIG_VMLINUX_MAP to generate .map file when linking vmlinux - Remove unnecessary --gcc-toolchains Clang flag because the --prefix flag finds the toolchains - Do not pass Clang's --prefix flag when using the integrated as - Check the assembler version in Kconfig time - Add new CONFIG options, AS_VERSION, AS_IS_GNU, AS_IS_LLVM to clean up some dependencies in Kconfig - Fix invalid Module.symvers creation when building only modules without vmlinux - Fix false-positive modpost warnings when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is set, but there is no module to build - Refactor module installation Makefile - Support zstd for module compression - Convert alpha and ia64 to use generic shell scripts to generate the syscall headers - Add a new elfnote to indicate if the kernel was built with LTO, which will be used by pahole - Flatten the directory structure under include/config/ so CONFIG options and filenames match - Change the deb source package name from linux-$(KERNELRELEASE) to linux-upstream * tag 'kbuild-v5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (42 commits) kbuild: Add $(KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS) to 'has_libelf' test kbuild: deb-pkg: change the source package name to linux-upstream tools: do not include scripts/Kbuild.include kbuild: redo fake deps at include/config/*.h kbuild: remove TMPO from try-run MAINTAINERS: add pattern for dummy-tools kbuild: add an elfnote for whether vmlinux is built with lto ia64: syscalls: switch to generic syscallhdr.sh ia64: syscalls: switch to generic syscalltbl.sh alpha: syscalls: switch to generic syscallhdr.sh alpha: syscalls: switch to generic syscalltbl.sh sysctl: use min() helper for namecmp() kbuild: add support for zstd compressed modules kbuild: remove CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS kbuild: merge scripts/Makefile.modsign to scripts/Makefile.modinst kbuild: move module strip/compression code into scripts/Makefile.modinst kbuild: refactor scripts/Makefile.modinst kbuild: rename extmod-prefix to extmod_prefix kbuild: check module name conflict for external modules as well kbuild: show the target directory for depmod log ...

+ This option allows you to choose the algorithm which will be used to
+ compress modules when 'make modules_install' is run. (or, you can
+ choose to not compress modules at all.)
- Compresses kernel modules when 'make modules_install' is run; gzip or
- xz depending on "Compression algorithm" below.
+ External modules will also be compressed in the same way during the
+ installation.
- module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod MAY support gzip and xz.
+ For modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient to
+ compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.
- Out-of-tree kernel modules installed using Kbuild will also be
- compressed upon installation.
+ This is fully compatible with signed modules.
- Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient
- to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.
+ Please note that the tool used to load modules needs to support the
+ corresponding algorithm. module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod
+ MAY support gzip, xz and zstd.
- Note: This is fully compatible with signed modules.
+ Your build system needs to provide the appropriate compression tool
+ to compress the modules.
- If in doubt, say N.
+ If in doubt, select 'None'.
