Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild
Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:
- make clean also considers $(extra-m) and $(extra-) to be consistent
- cleanup and fixes in scripts/Makefile.host
- allow to override the name of the Python 2 executable with make
PYTHON=... (only needed for ia64 in practice)
- option to split debugingo into *.dwo files to save disk space if the
compiler supports it (CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT)
- option to use dwarf4 debuginfo if the compiler supports it
(CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4)
- fix for disabling certain warnings with clang
- fix for unneeded rebuild with dash when a command contains
backslashes
* 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kbuild: Fix handling of backslashes in *.cmd files
kbuild, LLVMLinux: Supress warnings unless W=1-3
Kbuild: Add a option to enable dwarf4 v2
kbuild: Support split debug info v4
kbuild: allow to override Python command name
kbuild: clean-up and bug fix of scripts/Makefile.host
kbuild: clean up scripts/Makefile.host
kbuild: drop shared library support from Makefile.host
kbuild: fix a bug of C++ host program handling
kbuild: fix a typo in scripts/Makefile.host
scripts/Makefile.clean: clean also $(extra-m) and $(extra-)
