Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull more Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada: - match the directory structure of the linux-libc-dev package to that of Debian-based distributions - fix incorrect include/config/auto.conf generation when Kconfig creates it along with the .config file - remove misleading $(AS) from documents - clean up precious tag files by distclean instead of mrproper - add a new coccinelle patch for devm_platform_ioremap_resource migration - refactor module-related scripts to read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod files to get the list of created modules - remove MODVERDIR - update list of header compile-test - add -fcf-protection=none flag to avoid conflict with the retpoline flags when CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y - misc cleanups * tag 'kbuild-v5.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (25 commits) kbuild: add -fcf-protection=none when using retpoline flags kbuild: update compile-test header list for v5.3-rc1 kbuild: split out *.mod out of {single,multi}-used-m rules kbuild: remove 'prepare1' target kbuild: remove the first line of *.mod files kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and remove MODVERDIR kbuild: export_report: read modules.order instead of .tmp_versions/*.mod kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod kbuild: modsign: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod kbuild: modinst: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod scsi: remove pointless $(MODVERDIR)/$(obj)/53c700.ver kbuild: remove duplication from modules.order in sub-directories kbuild: get rid of kernel/ prefix from in-tree modules.{order,builtin} kbuild: do not create empty modules.order in the prepare stage coccinelle: api: add devm_platform_ioremap_resource script kbuild: compile-test headers listed in header-test-m as well kbuild: remove unused hostcc-option kbuild: remove tag files by distclean instead of mrproper kbuild: add --hash-style= and --build-id unconditionally kbuild: get rid of misleading $(AS) from documents ...

The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following

+ additional step to occur:
- Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
function, we would lose the section information and thus
the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
a larger kernel).
- - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.a file.
- When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
- lose valuable information about where the mismatch was
- introduced.
- Running the analysis for each module/built-in.a file
- tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the

- - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
- the section mismatches that are reported.
