Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - allow users to invoke 'make' out of the source tree

 - refactor scripts/mkmakefile

 - deprecate KBUILD_SRC, which was used to track the source tree
   location for O= build.

 - fix recordmcount.pl in case objdump output is localized

 - turn unresolved symbols in external modules to errors from warnings
   by default; pass KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1 to get them back to warnings

 - generate modules.builtin.modinfo to collect .modinfo data from
   built-in modules

 - misc Makefile cleanups
