As I had mentioned in another thread, I think -O2 optimization is sufficient considering the complexity of the code needed to enable the dcache. Integrity checking is only needed for crash dump support. If the crash reboot takes an extra 20 seconds does it matter? For the re-boot of a stable system where the new kernel is loaded then immediately kexec'ed into integrity checking is not needed. For that arm64 support needs to be added to kexec-lite. -Geoff
