Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - fix warnings in 'make clean' for ARCH=um, hexagon, h8300, unicore32

 - ensure to rebuild all objects when the compiler is upgraded

 - exclude system headers from dependency tracking and fixdep processing

 - fix potential bit-size mismatch between the kernel and BPF user-mode
   helper

 - add the new syntax 'userprogs' to build user-space programs for the
   target architecture (the same arch as the kernel)

 - compile user-space sample code under samples/ for the target arch
   instead of the host arch

 - make headers_install fail if a CONFIG option is leaked to user-space

 - sanitize the output format of scripts/checkstack.pl

 - handle ARM 'push' instruction in scripts/checkstack.pl

 - error out before modpost if a module name conflict is found

 - error out when multiple directories are passed to M= because this
   feature is broken for a long time

 - add CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED to support compressed debug info

 - a lot of cleanups of modpost

 - dump vmlinux symbols out into vmlinux.symvers, and reuse it in the
   second pass of modpost

 - do not run the second pass of modpost if nothing in modules is
   updated

 - install modules.builtin(.modinfo) by 'make install' as well as by
   'make modules_install' because it is useful even when
   CONFIG_MODULES=n

 - add new command line variables, GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP, LZMA, LZ4, and XZ
   to allow users to use alternatives such as pigz, pbzip2, etc.
