Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - allow users to invoke 'make' out of the source tree

 - refactor scripts/mkmakefile

 - deprecate KBUILD_SRC, which was used to track the source tree
   location for O= build.

 - fix recordmcount.pl in case objdump output is localized

 - turn unresolved symbols in external modules to errors from warnings
   by default; pass KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1 to get them back to warnings

 - generate modules.builtin.modinfo to collect .modinfo data from
   built-in modules

 - misc Makefile cleanups

* tag 'kbuild-v5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (21 commits)
  .gitignore: add more all*.config patterns
  moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file
  Remove MODULE_ALIAS() calls that take undefined macro
  .gitignore: add leading and trailing slashes to generated directories
  scripts/tags.sh: fix direct execution of scripts/tags.sh
  scripts: override locale from environment when running recordmcount.pl
  samples: kobject: allow CONFIG_SAMPLE_KOBJECT to become y
  samples: seccomp: turn CONFIG_SAMPLE_SECCOMP into a bool option
  kbuild: move Documentation to vmlinux-alldirs
  kbuild: move samples/ to KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS
  modpost: make KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN also configurable for external modules
  kbuild: check arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated before out-of-tree build
  kbuild: remove unneeded dependency for include/config/kernel.release
  memory: squash drivers/memory/Makefile.asm-offsets
  kbuild: use $(srctree) instead of KBUILD_SRC to check out-of-tree build
  kbuild: mkmakefile: generate a simple wrapper of top Makefile
  kbuild: mkmakefile: do not check the generated Makefile marker
  kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory
  kbuild: pass $(MAKECMDGOALS) to sub-make as is
  kbuild: fix warning "overriding recipe for target 'Makefile'"
