Commit a0f97e06a43c ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS.

Commit 222d394d30e7 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS.

Commit 06c5040cdb13 ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS.

For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.

Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.

Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.

I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system
is a different world.

Move the source of lib/Kconfig.debug and arch/$(ARCH)/Kconfig.debug to
the top-level Kconfig.  For two architectures that means moving their
arch-specific symbols in that menu into a new arch Kconfig.debug file,
and for a few more creating a dummy file so that we can include it
unconditionally.

Also move the actual 'Kernel hacking' menu to lib/Kconfig.debug, where
it belongs.

Instead of duplicating the source statements in every architecture just
do it once in the toplevel Kconfig file.

Note that with this the inclusion of arch/$(SRCARCH/Kconfig moves out of
the top-level Kconfig into arch/Kconfig so that don't violate ordering
constraits while keeping a sensible menu structure.

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Core infrastucture work for Y2038 to address the COMPAT interfaces:

     + Add a new Y2038 safe __kernel_timespec and use it in the core
       code

     + Introduce config switches which allow to control the various
       compat mechanisms

     + Use the new config switch in the posix timer code to control the
       32bit compat syscall implementation.

 - Prevent bogus selection of CPU local clocksources which causes an
   endless reselection loop

 - Remove the extra kthread in the clocksource code which has no value
   and just adds another level of indirection

 - The usual bunch of trivial updates, cleanups and fixlets all over the
   place

 - More SPDX conversions

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an
  invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There
  remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64
  and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more
  maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
  handling code and thus careful code review.

  Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
  struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
  directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
  introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.

  Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and
  with a little luck I will be wrapping up the siginfo work next
  development cycle"

Most mainstream architectures are using 65536 entries, so lets stick to
that.  If someone is really desperate to override it that can still be
done through &lt;asm/dma-mapping.h&gt;, but I'd rather see a really good
rationale for that.

dma_debug_init is now called as a core_initcall, which for many
architectures means much earlier, and provides dma-debug functionality
earlier in the boot process.  This should be safe as it only relies
on the memory allocator already being available.

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.

Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault.  Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.

In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.
