Yes, it will load the kernel successfully, but when you use kexec -e to run into the loaded kernel, in the new kernel context, you will get garbage output when execute `cat /proc/cmdline`, and you also can see the garbage in "Kernel command line" from dmesg. I am sure you will see this issue, because when user pass no cmdline, and cmdline_len will because zero, so the line below in setup_linux_bootloader_parameters_high will not work: cmdline_ptr[cmdline_len - 1] = '\0'; Thanks
