Merge tag 'kbuild-v6.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada: - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped to another program. - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly. - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1. - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild. - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in kallsyms. - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular back-and-forth. - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process. - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing particular sections in the head of vmlinux. - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82. - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts. * tag 'kbuild-v6.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (41 commits) docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.82 ia64: simplify esi object addition in Makefile Revert "kbuild: Check if linker supports the -X option" kbuild: rebuild .vmlinux.export.o when its prerequisite is updated kbuild: move modules.builtin(.modinfo) rules to Makefile.vmlinux_o zstd: Fixing mixed module-builtin objects kallsyms: ignore __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols kallsyms: take the input file instead of reading stdin kallsyms: drop duplicated ignore patterns from kallsyms.c kbuild: reuse mksysmap output for kallsyms mksysmap: update comment about __crc_* kbuild: remove head-y syntax kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head kbuild: hide error checker logs for V=1 builds kbuild: re-run modpost when it is updated kbuild: unify two modpost invocations kbuild: move vmlinux.o rule to the top Makefile kbuild: move .vmlinux.objs rule to Makefile.modpost kbuild: list sub-directories in ./Kbuild Makefile.compiler: replace cc-ifversion with compiler-specific macros ...
