[PATCH 4/6] kexec_file: Add mechanism to update kexec segments.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



kexec_update_segment allows a given segment in kexec_image to have
its contents updated. This is useful if the current kernel wants to
send information to the next kernel that is up-to-date at the time of
reboot.
