Hi Linus.
kbuild stuff where the majority of the patch is Documentation updates.
The most controversial part is the addition of a flag to discard
local symbols from vmlinux.
The patch has been in my inbox for a while but I had just not
got around to it until now. It came in via Andrew so I expect it has
been in -nect for a while.
This pull also add support for destination-y in header export files.
This is not a fix but a few people has asked for this feature
and they cannot use it until it is present.
The rest is assorted set of fixes as the shortlog below tells.
Please pull.
Sam

The kbuild infrastructure for *lds file are used in several
architecture-specific files.
+=== 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers
+
+The kernel include a set of headers that is exported to userspace.
+Many headers can be exported as-is but other headers requires a
+minimal pre-processing before they are ready for user-space.
+The pre-processing does:
+- drop kernel specific annotations
+- drop include of compiler.h
+- drop all sections that is kernel internat (guarded by ifdef __KERNEL__)
+
+Each relevant directory contain a file name "Kbuild" which specify the
+headers to be exported.
+See subsequent chapter for the syntax of the Kbuild file.
+
+ --- 7.1 header-y
+
+ header-y specify header files to be exported.
+
+ Example:
+ #include/linux/Kbuild
+ header-y += usb/
+ header-y += aio_abi.h
+
+ The convention is to list one file per line and
+ preferably in alphabetic order.
+
+ header-y also specify which subdirectories to visit.
+ A subdirectory is identified by a trailing '/' which
+ can be seen in the example above for the usb subdirectory.
+
+ Subdirectories are visited before their parent directories.
+
+ --- 7.2 objhdr-y
+
+ objhdr-y specifies generated files to be exported.
+ Generated files are special as they need to be looked
+ up in another directory when doing 'make O=...' builds.
+
+ Example:
+ #include/linux/Kbuild
+ objhdr-y += version.h
+
+ --- 7.3 destination-y
+
+ When an architecture have a set of exported headers that needs to be
+ exported to a different directory destination-y is used.
+ destination-y specify the destination directory for all exported
+ headers in the file where it is present.
+
+ Example:
+ #arch/xtensa/platforms/s6105/include/platform/Kbuild
+ destination-y := include/linux
+
+ In the example above all exported headers in the Kbuild file
+ will be located in the directory "include/linux" when exported.
+
+
+ --- 7.4 unifdef-y (deprecated)
+
+ unifdef-y is deprecated. A direct replacement is header-y.
