Pull x86 build updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Misc updates:
- Add link flag quirk to solve LLVM linker bug that removes local
relocations, causing KASLR boot failures.
- Update the defconfigs to remove archaic partition table support
- Fix kernel growing pains: we had a bug in relocs.c handling section
header table entries count larger than 0xff00 (~65k), which can
happen with the -ffunction-sections flag, causing a build failure
with a cryptic error message. Add support for detecting the limit
and using the ELF protocol that extends the sections table via
->sh_size. The new limit is now much larger - over a billion
entries?"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
