Merge tag 'kbuild-7.4-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux

Pull Kbuild / Kconfig updates from Nathan Chancellor:
 "Kbuild:

   - Suppress compiler flags in debug info for external module builds

   - Use '-fmacro-prefix-map' in more places in the build

   - Merge initial set of changes from Lorenzo's speed up series, along
     with some fixes found through testing:

     - Avoid allocating .modinfo in vmlinux

     - Speed up kallsyms by indexing symbols by token and outputting
       binary data to disk directly then including in assembly via
       .incbin

     - Don't sort $(NM) output when unnecessary

     - Only emit relocations on the final vmlinx link

     - Reimplement mksysmap in C

     - Move many cc-option and ld-option calls into the Kconfig stage to
       cache their results

     - Use pigz for gzip compression when available

   - Move gen_init_cpio and gen_initramfs.sh from usr/ to scripts/

   - Add a TOML configuration to scripts/container and update
     documentation accordingly

   - Add a generic, opt-in mechanism for checking that headers can
     compile standalone

   - Update machine function splitting argument for LLVM 24 rename in
     AutoFDO build

   - Miscellaneous minor clean ups, fixes, and hardening, mostly
     found/fixed via LLMs

  Kconfig:

   - Turn recursive ranges into an error

   - Fix savedefconfig for defaults that were adjusted for being out of
     range and revert a previously applied workaround

   - Improvements and hardening around integer and hexadecimal values

   - Emit a warning when selecting or implying a choice symbol, which
     has no effect

   - Emit a warning when KCONFIG_PROBABILITY is malformed

   - Introduce def_string / def_int / def_hex to mirror the existing
     def_bool / def_tristate to succinctly set a value and type at the
     same time.

   - Add cc-option-str and ld-option-str macros to act like Kbuild's
     cc-option and ld-option, returning the string when the option is
     supported, allowing many checks to be moved into Kconfig

   - Minor usability improvements to Kconfig tests"
