Linus Torvalds 41f1a08645 Merge tag 'kbuild-7.0-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux
Pull Kbuild/Kconfig updates from Nathan Chancellor:
 "Kbuild:

   - Drop '*_probe' pattern from modpost section check allowlist, which
     hid legitimate warnings (Johan Hovold)

   - Disable -Wtype-limits altogether, instead of enabling at W=2
     (Vincent Mailhol)

   - Improve UAPI testing to skip testing headers that require a libc
     when CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK is not set, opening up testing of headers
     with no libc dependencies to more environments (Thomas Weißschuh)

   - Update gendwarfksyms documentation with required dependencies
     (Jihan LIN)

   - Reject invalid LLVM= values to avoid unintentionally falling back
     to system toolchain (Thomas Weißschuh)

   - Add a script to help run the kernel build process in a container
     for consistent environments and testing (Guillaume Tucker)

   - Simplify kallsyms by getting rid of the relative base (Ard
     Biesheuvel)

   - Performance and usability improvements to scripts/make_fit.py
     (Simon Glass)

   - Minor various clean ups and fixes

  Kconfig:

   - Move XPM icons to individual files, clearing up GTK deprecation
     warnings (Rostislav Krasny)

   - Support

        depends on FOO if BAR

     as syntactic sugar for

        depends on FOO || !BAR

     (Nicolas Pitre, Graham Roff)

   - Refactor merge_config.sh to use awk over shell/sed/grep,
     dramatically speeding up processing large number of config
     fragments (Anders Roxell, Mikko Rapeli)"

Development tools for the kernel
================================
This document is a collection of documents about development tools that can
be used to work on the kernel. For now, the documents have been pulled
together without any significant effort to integrate them into a coherent
whole; patches welcome!
A brief overview of testing-specific tools can be found in
Documentation/dev-tools/testing-overview.rst
Tools that are specific to debugging can be found in
Documentation/process/debugging/index.rst
