Merge tag 'kbuild-v4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
- improve fixdep to coalesce consecutive slashes in dep-files
- fix some issues of the maintainer string generation in deb-pkg script
- remove unused CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX and clean-up
several tools and linker scripts
- clean-up modpost
- allow to enable the dead code/data elimination for PowerPC in EXPERT
mode
- improve two coccinelle scripts for better performance
- pass endianness and machine size flags to sparse for all architecture
- misc fixes
