Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt lists variables used in Makefile
whereas Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt describes user assignable
parameters given via environments or the command line.
LDFLAGS_MODULE is a command line interface, so it should be dropped
from makefiles.txt.
Some lines below in this file, it is clearly explained that
KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE is the right one for the internal use:
KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE Options for $(LD) when linking modules
$(KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE) is used to add arch-specific options
used when linking modules. This is often a linker script.
From commandline LDFLAGS_MODULE shall be used (see kbuild.txt).
Then, kbuild.txt explains LDFLAGS_MODULE, like follows:

Currently, linker options are tested by the coordination of $(CC) and
$(LD) because $(LD) needs some object to link.
As commit 86a9df597cdd ("kbuild: fix linker feature test macros when
cross compiling with Clang") addressed, we need to make sure $(CC)
and $(LD) agree the underlying architecture of the passed object.
This could be a bit complex when we combine tools from different groups.
For example, we can use clang for $(CC), but we still need to rely on
GCC toolchain for $(LD).
So, I was searching for a way of standalone testing of linker options.
A trick I found is to use '-v'; this not only prints the version string,
but also tests if the given option is recognized.
If a given option is supported,
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419
GNU ld (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11) 2.28.2.20170706
$ echo $?
0
If unsupported,
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419
GNU ld (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.7-2013.04-20130415 - Linaro GCC 2013.04) 2.23.1
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: unrecognized option '--fix-cortex-a53-843419'
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: use the --help option for usage information
$ echo $?

Gold works likewise.
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419
GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14
masahiro@pug:~/ref/linux$ echo $?
0
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-999999
GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold: --fix-cortex-a53-999999: unknown option

LLD too.

Support parallel building of clean, config, and build targets in a
single command.
For example,
make -j<N> clean all
or
make -j<N> mrproper defconfig all
They should be handled one by one.

Incremental linking is gone, so rename built-in.o to built-in.a, which
is the usual extension for archive files.
This patch does two things, first is a simple search/replace:
git grep -l 'built-in\.o' | xargs sed -i 's/built-in\.o/built-in\.a/g'
The second is to invert nesting of nested text manipulations to avoid
filtering built-in.a out from libs-y2:
-libs-y2 := $(filter-out %.a, $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(libs-y)))
+libs-y2 := $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(filter-out %.a, $(libs-y)))

This removes the old `ld -r` incremental link option, which has not
been selected by any architecture since June 2017.

* Use BREs where EREs aren't necessary.
* Pass -E instead of -r to use EREs. This will be standardized in the
next POSIX revision[0]. GNU sed supports this since 4.2 (May 2009),
and busybox since 1.22.0 (Jan 2014).
* Use the [:space:] character class instead of ` \t` in bracket
expressions. In bracket expressions, POSIX says that <backslash> loses
its special meaning, so a conforming implementation cannot expand \t
to <tab>[1].
* In BREs, use interval expressions (\{n,m\}) instead of non-standard
features like \+ and \?.
* Use a loop instead of -s flag.
There are still plenty of other cases of non-standard sed invocations
(use of ERE features in BREs, in-place editing), but this fixes some
core ones.
