[PATCH 0/4] Support kexec'ing PEs containing compressed kernels

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

 



The linux ZBOOT option creates PEs that contain compressed kernel images
which are self decompressed on execution by UEFI.

This set adds support for this image format to kexec by decompressing the
contained kernel image to a temp file, then handing the resulting image
off to the existing "Image" load routine to pass to the kexec syscall.

There is also an additional patch which cleans up some errors noticed
in the existing zImage support as well.

Jeremy Linton (4):
  arm64: Cleanup _probe() return values
  arm64: Add ZBOOT PE containing compressed image support
  arm64: Hook up the ZBOOT support as vmlinuz
  arm64: Fix some issues with zImage _probe()
