Kernel build issues after yesterdays merge by Linus

[Christoph Lameter]

This is under Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn on a Power 8 system while simply
trying to build with the Ubuntu standard kernel config. It could be that
these issues come about because we do not have an rc1 yet but I wanted to
give some early notice. Also this is a new arch to me so I may not be
aware of how things work.


1. Bad relocation while building:

root at rd-power8:/rdhome/clameter/linux# make
  CHK     include/config/kernel.release
  CHK     include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  SKIPPED include/generated/compile.h
  CALL    arch/powerpc/kernel/systbl_chk.sh
  CALL    arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check.sh
  CHK     kernel/config_data.h
  CALL    arch/powerpc/relocs_check.pl
WARNING: 1 bad relocations

2. "make install" fails

root at rd-power8:/rdhome/clameter/linux# make install
sh -x /rdhome/clameter/linux/arch/powerpc/boot/install.sh "3.15.0+"
vmlinux System.map "/boot" arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries
arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.epapr
+ set -e
+ [ -x /home/clameter/bin/installkernel ]
+ [ -x /sbin/installkernel ]
+ exec /sbin/installkernel 3.15.0+ vmlinux System.map /boot
arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.epapr
Usage: installkernel <version> <image> <System.map> <directory>

3. Ubuntu "make-kpkg" fails

4. Errors during build:

Lots of integer to differnt pointer size conversions?
