Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

+	  Select this if the architecture wants to do dead code and
+	  data elimination with the linker by compiling with
+	  -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections and linking with
+	  --gc-sections.
+
+	  This requires that the arch annotates or otherwise protects
+	  its external entry points from being discarded. Linker scripts
+	  must also merge .text.*, .data.*, and .bss.* correctly into
+	  output sections. Care must be taken not to pull in unrelated
+	  sections (e.g., '.text.init'). Typically '.' in section names
+	  is used to distinguish them from label names / C identifiers.
