Pull x86 boot updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Boot code updates for x86:
- Allow to skip a given amount of huge pages for address layout
randomization on the kernel command line to prevent regressions in
the huge page allocation with small memory sizes
- Various cleanups"
* 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/boot: Use CC_SET()/CC_OUT() instead of open coding it
x86/boot/KASLR: Make local variable mem_limit static
x86/boot/KASLR: Skip specified number of 1GB huge pages when doing physical randomization (KASLR)
x86/boot/KASLR: Add two new functions for 1GB huge pages handling

============
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
