Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - fix warnings in 'make clean' for ARCH=um, hexagon, h8300, unicore32

 - ensure to rebuild all objects when the compiler is upgraded

 - exclude system headers from dependency tracking and fixdep processing

 - fix potential bit-size mismatch between the kernel and BPF user-mode
   helper

 - add the new syntax 'userprogs' to build user-space programs for the
   target architecture (the same arch as the kernel)

 - compile user-space sample code under samples/ for the target arch
   instead of the host arch

 - make headers_install fail if a CONFIG option is leaked to user-space

 - sanitize the output format of scripts/checkstack.pl

 - handle ARM 'push' instruction in scripts/checkstack.pl

 - error out before modpost if a module name conflict is found

 - error out when multiple directories are passed to M= because this
   feature is broken for a long time

 - add CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED to support compressed debug info

 - a lot of cleanups of modpost

 - dump vmlinux symbols out into vmlinux.symvers, and reuse it in the
   second pass of modpost

 - do not run the second pass of modpost if nothing in modules is
   updated

 - install modules.builtin(.modinfo) by 'make install' as well as by
   'make modules_install' because it is useful even when
   CONFIG_MODULES=n

 - add new command line variables, GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP, LZMA, LZ4, and XZ
   to allow users to use alternatives such as pigz, pbzip2, etc.

$(AS) is not used anywhere in the kernel build, hence commit
aa824e0c962b ("kbuild: remove AS variable") killed it.

Remove the left-over code in arch/{arm,arm64}/Makefile.

Introduce ARCH_REALTEK Kconfig option also for 32-bit Arm.

Override the text offset to cope with boot ROM occupying first 0xa800
bytes and further reservations up to 0xf4000 (compare Device Tree).

Add a custom machine_desc to enforce memory carveout for I/O registers.

  PPC:
   - secure (encrypted) using under the Protected Execution Framework

  s390:
   - allow disabling GISA (hardware interrupt injection) and protected
     VMs/ultravisor support.

  x86:
   - New dirty bitmap flag that sets all bits in the bitmap when dirty
     page logging is enabled; this is faster because it doesn't require
     bulk modification of the page tables.

   - Initial work on making nested SVM event injection more similar to
     VMX, and less buggy.

   - Various cleanups to MMU code (though the big ones and related
     optimizations were delayed to 5.8). Instead of using cr3 in
     function names which occasionally means eptp, KVM too has
     standardized on "pgd".

   - A large refactoring of CPUID features, which now use an array that
     parallels the core x86_features.

   - Some removal of pointer chasing from kvm_x86_ops, which will also
     be switched to static calls as soon as they are available.

   - New Tigerlake CPUID features.

   - More bugfixes, optimizations and cleanups.

When using plugins, GCC requires that the -fplugin= options precedes
any of its plugin arguments appearing on the command line as well.
This is usually not a concern, but as it turns out, this requirement
is causing some issues with ARM's per-task stack protector plugin
and Kbuild's implementation of $(cc-option).

When the per-task stack protector plugin is enabled, and we tweak
the implementation of cc-option not to pipe the stderr output of
GCC to /dev/null, the following output is generated when GCC is
executed in the context of cc-option:

  cc1: error: plugin arm_ssp_per_task_plugin should be specified before \
         -fplugin-arg-arm_ssp_per_task_plugin-tso=1 in the command line
  cc1: error: plugin arm_ssp_per_task_plugin should be specified before \
         -fplugin-arg-arm_ssp_per_task_plugin-offset=24 in the command line

These errors will cause any option passed to cc-option to be treated
as unsupported, which is obviously incorrect.

The cause of this issue is the fact that the -fplugin= argument is
added to GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS, whereas the arguments above are added
to KBUILD_CFLAGS, and the contents of the former get filtered out of
the latter before being passed to the GCC running the cc-option test,
and so the -fplugin= option does not appear at all on the GCC command
line.

Adding the arguments to GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS
would be the correct approach here, if it weren't for the fact that we
are using $(eval) to defer the moment that they are added until after
asm-offsets.h is generated, which is after the point where the contents
of GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS are added to KBUILD_CFLAGS. So instead, we have
to add our plugin arguments to both.

For similar reasons, we cannot append DISABLE_ARM_SSP_PER_TASK_PLUGIN
to KBUILD_CFLAGS, as it will be passed to GCC when executing in the
context of cc-option, whereas the other plugin arguments will have
been filtered out, resulting in a similar error and false negative
result as above. So add it to ccflags-y instead.
