Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "Build system:

   - add CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST, which will be useful to define a
     fixed set of export symbols for Generic Kernel Image (GKI)

   - allow to run 'make dt_binding_check' without .config

   - use full schema for checking DT examples in *.yaml files

   - make modpost fail for missing MODULE_IMPORT_NS(), which makes more
     sense because we know the produced modules are never loadable

   - Remove unused 'AS' variable

  Kconfig:

   - sanitize DEFCONFIG_LIST, and remove ARCH_DEFCONFIG from Kconfig
     files

   - relax the 'imply' behavior so that symbols implied by 'y' can
     become 'm'

   - make 'imply' obey 'depends on' in order to make 'imply' really weak

  Misc:

   - add documentation on building the kernel with Clang/LLVM

   - revive __HAVE_ARCH_STRLEN for 32bit sparc to use optimized strlen()

   - fix warning from deb-pkg builds when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n

   - various script and Makefile cleanups"

+==============================
+Building Linux with Clang/LLVM
+==============================
+
+This document covers how to build the Linux kernel with Clang and LLVM
+utilities.
+
+About
+-----
+
+The Linux kernel has always traditionally been compiled with GNU toolchains
+such as GCC and binutils. Ongoing work has allowed for `Clang
+<https://clang.llvm.org/>`_ and `LLVM <https://llvm.org/>`_ utilities to be
+used as viable substitutes. Distributions such as `Android
+<https://www.android.com/>`_, `ChromeOS
+<https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os>`_, and `OpenMandriva
+<https://www.openmandriva.org/>`_ use Clang built kernels.  `LLVM is a
+collection of toolchain components implemented in terms of C++ objects
+<https://www.aosabook.org/en/llvm.html>`_. Clang is a front-end to LLVM that
+supports C and the GNU C extensions required by the kernel, and is pronounced
+"klang," not "see-lang."
+
+Clang
+-----
+
+The compiler used can be swapped out via `CC=` command line argument to `make`.
+`CC=` should be set when selecting a config and during a build.
+
+	make CC=clang defconfig
+
+	make CC=clang
+
+Cross Compiling
+---------------
+
+A single Clang compiler binary will typically contain all supported backends,
+which can help simplify cross compiling.
+
+	ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make CC=clang
+
+`CROSS_COMPILE` is not used to prefix the Clang compiler binary, instead
+`CROSS_COMPILE` is used to set a command line flag: `--target <triple>`. For
+example:
+
+	clang --target aarch64-linux-gnu foo.c
+
+LLVM Utilities
+--------------
+
+LLVM has substitutes for GNU binutils utilities. These can be invoked as
+additional parameters to `make`.
+
+	make CC=clang AS=clang LD=ld.lld AR=llvm-ar NM=llvm-nm STRIP=llvm-strip \\
+	  OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy OBJDUMP=llvm-objdump OBJSIZE=llvm-objsize \\
+	  READELF=llvm-readelf HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++ HOSTAR=llvm-ar \\
+	  HOSTLD=ld.lld
