Linus Torvalds 41f1a08645 Kbuild/Kconfig updates for 7.0
Kbuild changes
 ==============
 
 * Drop '*_probe' pattern from modpost section check allowlist, which hid
   legitimate warnings (Johan Hovold)
 
 * Disable -Wtype-limits altogether, instead of enabling at W=2 (Vincent
   Mailhol)
 
 * Improve UAPI testing to skip testing headers that require a libc when
   CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK is not set, opening up testing of headers with no
   libc dependencies to more environments (Thomas Weißschuh)
 
 * Update gendwarfksyms documentation with required dependencies (Jihan
   LIN)
 
 * Reject invalid LLVM= values to avoid unintentionally falling back to
   system toolchain (Thomas Weißschuh)
 
 * Add a script to help run the kernel build process in a container for
   consistent environments and testing (Guillaume Tucker)
 
 * Simplify kallsyms by getting rid of the relative base (Ard Biesheuvel)
 
 * Performance and usability improvements to scripts/make_fit.py (Simon
   Glass)
 
 * Minor various clean ups and fixes
 
 Kconfig changes
 ===============
 
 * Move XPM icons to individual files, clearing up GTK deprecation
   warnings (Rostislav Krasny)
 
 * Support
 
     depends on FOO if BAR
 
   as syntactic sugar for
 
     depends on FOO || !BAR' (Nicolas Pitre, Graham Roff)
 
 * Refactor merge_config.sh to use awk over shell/sed/grep, dramatically
   speeding up processing large number of config fragments (Anders
   Roxell, Mikko Rapeli)
