Device tree blob must be passed to a second kernel on DTB-capable
archs, like powerpc and arm64, but the current kernel interface
lacks this support.
This patch extends kexec_file_load system call by adding an extra
argument to this syscall so that an arbitrary number of file descriptors
can be handed out from user space to the kernel.
long sys_kexec_file_load(int kernel_fd, int initrd_fd,
unsigned long cmdline_len,
const char __user *cmdline_ptr,
unsigned long flags,
const struct kexec_fdset __user *ufdset);
If KEXEC_FILE_EXTRA_FDS is set to the "flags" argument, the "ufdset"
argument points to the following struct buffer:
struct kexec_fdset {
int nr_fds;
struct kexec_file_fd fds[0];
}

Notes:
This is a new version of the last patch in this series which adds
a function where each architecture can verify if the DTB is safe
to load:
int __weak arch_kexec_verify_buffer(enum kexec_file_type type,
const void *buf,
unsigned long size)
{
return -EINVAL;
}
I will then provide an implementation in my powerpc patch series
which checks that the DTB only contains nodes and properties from a
whitelist. arch_kexec_kernel_image_load will copy these properties
to the device tree blob the kernel was booted with (and perform
other changes such as setting /chosen/bootargs, of course).
I made the following additional changes:
- renamed KEXEC_FILE_TYPE_DTB to KEXEC_FILE_TYPE_PARTIAL_DTB,
- limited max number of fds to KEXEC_SEGMENT_MAX,
- changed to use fixed size buffer for fdset instead of allocating it,
- changed to return -EINVAL if an unknown file type is found in fdset.
