      x86, UV: Fix information in __uv_hub_info structure · 036ed8ba
      Robin Holt authored
      A few parts of the uv_hub_info structure are initialized
      incorrectly.
      
       - n_val is being loaded with m_val.
       - gpa_mask is initialized with a bytes instead of an unsigned long.
       - Handle the case where none of the alias registers are used.
      
      Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val
      which is the correct value.
      
      Without this patch, booting a large configuration hits a
      problem where the upper bits of the gnode affect the pnode
      and the bau will not operate.

      x86: Document linker script ASSERT() quirk · a5912f6b
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Older binutils breaks if ASSERT() is used without a sink
      for the output.
      
      For example 2.14.90.0.6 is known to be broken, the link
      fails with:
      
        LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
        ld:arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:678: parse error
      
      Document this quirk in all three files that use it.
