Merge tag 'kbuild-v6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada: - Support cross-compiling linux-headers Debian package and kernel-devel RPM package - Add support for the linux-debug Pacman package - Improve module rebuilding speed by factoring out the common code to scripts/module-common.c - Separate device tree build rules into scripts/Makefile.dtbs - Add a new script to generate modules.builtin.ranges, which is useful for tracing tools to find symbols in built-in modules - Refactor Kconfig and misc tools - Update Kbuild and Kconfig documentation * tag 'kbuild-v6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (51 commits) kbuild: doc: replace "gcc" in external module description kbuild: doc: describe the -C option precisely for external module builds kbuild: doc: remove the description about shipped files kbuild: doc: drop section numbering, use references in modules.rst kbuild: doc: throw out the local table of contents in modules.rst kbuild: doc: remove outdated description of the limitation on -I usage kbuild: doc: remove description about grepping CONFIG options kbuild: doc: update the description about Kbuild/Makefile split kbuild: remove unnecessary export of RUST_LIB_SRC kbuild: remove append operation on cmd_ld_ko_o kconfig: cache expression values kconfig: use hash table to reuse expressions kconfig: refactor expr_eliminate_dups() kconfig: add comments to expression transformations kconfig: change some expr_*() functions to bool scripts: move hash function from scripts/kconfig/ to scripts/include/ kallsyms: change overflow variable to bool type kallsyms: squash output_address() kbuild: add install target for modules.builtin.ranges scripts: add verifier script for builtin module range data ...

+ When modules are built into the kernel, there will be no module name
+ associated with its symbols in /proc/kallsyms. Tracers may want to
+ identify symbols by module name and symbol name regardless of whether
+ the module is configured as loadable or not.

+ This option generates modules.builtin.ranges in the build tree with
+ offset ranges (per ELF section) for the module(s) they belong to.
+ It also records an anchor symbol to determine the load address of the
+ section.
