Merge tag 'kbuild-v4.18-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull more Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - fix some bugs introduced by the recent Kconfig syntax extension

 - add some symbols about compiler information in Kconfig, such as
   CC_IS_GCC, CC_IS_CLANG, GCC_VERSION, etc.

 - test compiler capability for the stack protector in Kconfig, and
   clean-up Makefile

 - test compiler capability for GCC-plugins in Kconfig, and clean-up
   Makefile

 - allow to enable GCC-plugins for COMPILE_TEST

 - test compiler capability for KCOV in Kconfig and correct dependency

 - remove auto-detect mode of the GCOV format, which is now more nicely
   handled in Kconfig

 - test compiler capability for mprofile-kernel on PowerPC, and clean-up
   Makefile

 - misc cleanups
