Subject[PATCH v2] kbuild: add configurable debug info level
Date
Provides a way to configure debug info level (-glevel).
Debug level 3 includes extra information such as macro definitions. With
level 3 enabled it's possible to expand macros right from the debugging
session in gdb simplifying debugging when complicated macros involved.
The default level is set to 2 to not change the default build behavior.
