Linus Torvalds 5b67fbfc32 Kbuild updates for v5.7
[Build system]
 
  - add CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST, which will be useful to define
    a fixed set of export symbols for Generic Kernel Image (GKI)
 
  - allow to run 'make dt_binding_check' without .config
 
  - use full schema for checking DT examples in *.yaml files
 
  - make modpost fail for missing MODULE_IMPORT_NS(), which makes more
    sense because we know the produced modules are never loadable
 
  - Remove unused 'AS' variable
 
 [Kconfig]
 
  - sanitize DEFCONFIG_LIST, and remove ARCH_DEFCONFIG from Kconfig files
 
  - relax the 'imply' behavior so that symbols implied by y can become m
 
  - make 'imply' obey 'depends on' in order to make 'imply' really weak
 
 [Misc]
 
  - add documentation on building the kernel with Clang/LLVM
 
  - revive __HAVE_ARCH_STRLEN for 32bit sparc to use optimized strlen()
 
  - fix warning from deb-pkg builds when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n
 
  - various script and Makefile cleanups

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
