Merge tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull gcc plugins updates from Kees Cook:
 "Minor changes to the gcc plugins:

   - add the gcc plugins Makefile to MAINTAINERS to route things
     correctly

   - hide cyc_complexity behind !CONFIG_TEST for the future unhiding of
     plugins generally"

* tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
  gcc-plugins: Adjust Kconfig to avoid cyc_complexity
  MAINTAINERS: add GCC plugins Makefile
