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 * tag 'kbuild-v5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (59 commits) MAINTAINERS: update Kbuild/Kconfig maintainer's email address scripts/kallsyms: remove redundant initializers scripts/kallsyms: put check_symbol_range() calls close together scripts/kallsyms: make check_symbol_range() void function scripts/kallsyms: move ignored symbol types to is_ignored_symbol() scripts/kallsyms: move more patterns to the ignored_prefixes array scripts/kallsyms: skip ignored symbols very early scripts/kallsyms: add const qualifiers where possible scripts/kallsyms: make find_token() return (unsigned char *) scripts/kallsyms: replace prefix_underscores_count() with strspn() scripts/kallsyms: add sym_name() to mitigate cast ugliness scripts/kallsyms: remove unneeded length check for prefix matching scripts/kallsyms: remove redundant is_arm_mapping_symbol() scripts/kallsyms: set relative_base more effectively scripts/kallsyms: shrink table before sorting it scripts/kallsyms: fix definitely-lost memory leak scripts/kallsyms: remove unneeded #ifndef ARRAY_SIZE kbuild: make single target builds even faster modpost: respect the previous export when 'exported twice' is warned modpost: do not set ->preloaded for symbols from Module.symvers ...
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
