Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild
Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek: - make clean also considers $(extra-m) and $(extra-) to be consistent - cleanup and fixes in scripts/Makefile.host - allow to override the name of the Python 2 executable with make PYTHON=... (only needed for ia64 in practice) - option to split debugingo into *.dwo files to save disk space if the compiler supports it (CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT) - option to use dwarf4 debuginfo if the compiler supports it (CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4) - fix for disabling certain warnings with clang - fix for unneeded rebuild with dash when a command contains backslashes * 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: kbuild: Fix handling of backslashes in *.cmd files kbuild, LLVMLinux: Supress warnings unless W=1-3 Kbuild: Add a option to enable dwarf4 v2 kbuild: Support split debug info v4 kbuild: allow to override Python command name kbuild: clean-up and bug fix of scripts/Makefile.host kbuild: clean up scripts/Makefile.host kbuild: drop shared library support from Makefile.host kbuild: fix a bug of C++ host program handling kbuild: fix a typo in scripts/Makefile.host scripts/Makefile.clean: clean also $(extra-m) and $(extra-)

+ bool "Produce split debuginfo in .dwo files"
+ depends on DEBUG_INFO
+ help
+ Generate debug info into separate .dwo files. This significantly
+ reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,
+ because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo
+ files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
+ In addition the debug information is also compressed.
+
+ Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.
+ Any tool that packages or reads debug information would need
+ to know about the .dwo files and include them.
+ Incompatible with older versions of ccache.
