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

Ben Hutchings fe013f8bc1 Documentation: kbuild: Add document about reproducible builds
In the Distribution Kernels track at Linux Plumbers Conference there
was some discussion around the difficulty of making kernel builds
reproducible.

This is a solved problem, but the solutions don't appear to be
documented in one place.  This document lists the issues I know about
and the settings needed to ensure reproducibility.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 113094f743 docs: add some directories to the main documentation index
The contents of those directories were orphaned at the documentation
body.

While those directories could likely be moved to be inside some guide,
I'm opting to just adding their indexes to the main one, removing the
:orphan: and adding the SPDX header.

For the drivers, the rationale is that the documentation contains
a mix of Kernelspace, uAPI and admin-guide. So, better to keep them on
separate directories, as we've be doing with similar subsystem-specific
docs that were not split yet.

For the others, well... I'm too lazy to do the move. Also, it
seems to make sense to keep at least some of those at the main
dir (like kbuild, for example). In any case, a latter patch
could do the move.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab cd238effef docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.

Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
