[PATCH] kexec: do KEXEC_FILE_LOAD and fallback to KEXEC_LOAD if not supported.

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

 



The new KEXEC_FILE_LOAD is preferred in the case the platform supports
it because it allows kexec in locked down secure boot mode.

However, some platforms do not support it so fall back to the old
syscall there.

Also provide an option to call the old syscall in case the new syscall
fails with other reason than ENOSYS.

Also document the options.
