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
