Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Fix false-positive build warnings for ARCH=ia64 builds

 - Optimize dictionary size for module compression with xz

 - Check the compiler and linker versions in Kconfig

 - Fix misuse of extra-y

 - Support DWARF v5 debug info

 - Clamp SUBLEVEL to 255 because stable releases 4.4.x and 4.9.x
   exceeded the limit

 - Add generic syscall{tbl,hdr}.sh for cleanups across arches

 - Minor cleanups of genksyms

 - Minor cleanups of Kconfig
