Hi all,

This series contains two routine updates of 5.4. The -stable update and
a backport to fix a perf build issue with the new binutils (as reported
and debugged by Khem).

The other two are features that I've been working on for the fall release.
One is minor (the dangling kernel_features warning) and one is a
significant re-write of the kernel configuration auditing tools and has
been taking place over the past three weeks.

The dangling features change is just to allow more flexibility with
layers and the types of features they may be requesting. The details
are in the commit log. By default the behaviour is the same, so there
shouldn't be any issues (since if a feature is missing, someone's
build was already stopping).

The configuration queue one is an update of the symbol analysis to
include looking at the fragments to provide details when the common
question is asked "why didn't my config value make it into the .config".
We now get detailed forensics from within the kernel configuration
system (to deal with issues when something is selected, or not visible)
and also insight into what fragment(s) set values. The tweaks are run
both as part of the standard kernel-yocto build and through a dedicated
task for deugging.

I expect that the configuration update may trigger some warnings, since
it finds things that the old tools couldn't. As such, if it causes
any issues, just drop it from the queue and take the other patches. I
wasn't able to run all the builds for it, but did get through multiple
green builds on the AB and locally .. so this needs to get some wider
testing now.

Cheers,

Bruce
