AFAICT, there's no downside to this, and running into this each time I want to kexec (and, presumably, a significant chunk of the population, since lockdown is quite popular) on some machines, then going to the manual, then finding out I want the /auto/ flag(!) is quite annoying: # kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-3-amd64 --initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-3-amd64 --reuse-cmdline kexec_load failed: Operation not permitted entry = 0x46eff7760 flags = 0x3e0000 nr_segments = 7 segment[0].buf = 0x557cd303efa0 segment[0].bufsz = 0x70 segment[0].mem = 0x100000 segment[0].memsz = 0x1000 segment[1].buf = 0x557cd3046fe0 segment[1].bufsz = 0x190 segment[1].mem = 0x101000 segment[1].memsz = 0x1000 segment[2].buf = 0x557cd303f6e0 segment[2].bufsz = 0x30 segment[2].mem = 0x102000 segment[2].memsz = 0x1000 segment[3].buf = 0x7f658fa37010 segment[3].bufsz = 0x12a51b5 segment[3].mem = 0x46a55a000 segment[3].memsz = 0x12a6000 segment[4].buf = 0x7f6590ce1210 segment[4].bufsz = 0x7e99e0 segment[4].mem = 0x46b800000 segment[4].memsz = 0x377c000 segment[5].buf = 0x557cd3039350 segment[5].bufsz = 0x42fa segment[5].mem = 0x46eff2000 segment[5].memsz = 0x5000 segment[6].buf = 0x557cd3032000 segment[6].bufsz = 0x70e0 segment[6].mem = 0x46eff7000 segment[6].memsz = 0x9000 Closes: https://bugs.debian.org/1030248 Signed-off-by: Ahelenia Ziemiańska <nabijaczleweli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kexec/kexec.8 | 4 ++-- kexec/kexec.c | 8 ++++---- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/kexec/kexec.8 b/kexec/kexec.8 index 3ebede6..66453b8 100644 --- a/kexec/kexec.8 +++ b/kexec/kexec.8 @@ -151,14 +151,14 @@ Specify that the new kernel is of this Specify that the new KEXEC_FILE_LOAD syscall should be used exclusively. .TP .BI \-c\ (\-\-kexec-syscall) -Specify that the old KEXEC_LOAD syscall should be used exclusively (the default). +Specify that the old KEXEC_LOAD syscall should be used exclusively. .TP .BI \-a\ (\-\-kexec-syscall-auto) Try the new KEXEC_FILE_LOAD syscall first and when it is not supported or the kernel does not understand the supplied image fall back to the old KEXEC_LOAD interface. -There is no one single interface that always works. +There is no one single interface that always works, so this is the default.
