Merge tag 'kbuild-v4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
- verify depmod is installed before modules_install
- support build salt in case build ids must be unique between builds
- allow users to specify additional host compiler flags via HOST*FLAGS,
and rename internal variables to KBUILD_HOST*FLAGS
- update buildtar script to drop vax support, add arm64 support
- update builddeb script for better debarch support
- document the pit-fall of if_changed usage
- fix parallel build of UML with O= option
- make 'samples' target depend on headers_install to fix build errors
- remove deprecated host-progs variable
- add a new coccinelle script for refcount_t vs atomic_t check
- improve double-test coccinelle script
- misc cleanups and fixes
