Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - remove unneeded asm headers from hexagon, ia64

 - add 'dir-pkg' target, which works like 'tar-pkg' but skips archiving

 - add 'helpnewconfig' target, which shows help for new CONFIG options

 - support 'make nsdeps' for external modules

 - make rebuilds faster by deleting $(wildcard $^) checks

 - remove compile tests for kernel-space headers

 - refactor modpost to simplify modversion handling

 - make single target builds faster

 - optimize and clean up scripts/kallsyms.c

 - refactor various Makefiles and scripts
