From: Petr Tesarik <petr.tesarik.ext@xxxxxxxxxx> The kexec_file_load(2) syscall does not work at least in some kernel builds. For details see the relevant section in this blog post: https://sigillatum.tesarici.cz/2023-07-21-state-of-riscv64-kdump.html This patch series handles an additional relocation types, removes the need to implement a Global Offset Table (GOT) for the purgatory and fixes the placement of initrd. Changelog ========= Changes from v1: - Replace memcmp() with a for loop. - Drop handling of 16-bit add/subtract relocations. They were used only by alternatives in strcmp(), which was referenced only by string.o. - Add the initrd placement fix. Petr Tesarik (1): riscv/purgatory: do not link with string.o and its dependencies Torsten Duwe (2): riscv/kexec: handle R_RISCV_CALL_PLT relocation type riscv/kexec: load initrd high in available memory arch/riscv/kernel/elf_kexec.c | 3 ++- arch/riscv/purgatory/Makefile | 26 +------------------------- arch/riscv/purgatory/purgatory.c | 6 ++++-- 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1 _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
