Hi List,

i recently started working on kexec for PA-RISC. While doing so, i figured
that powerpc already has support for reading ELF images inside of the Kernel.
My first attempt was to steal the source code and modify it for PA-RISC, but
it turned out that i didn't had to change much. Only ARM specific stuff like
fdt blob fetching had to be removed.

So instead of duplicating the code, i thought about moving the ELF stuff to
the core kexec code, and exposing several function to use that code from the
arch specific code.

I'm attaching the patch to this Mail. What do you think about that change?
s390 also uses ELF files, and (maybe?) could also switch to this implementation.
But i don't know anything about S/390 and don't have one in my basement. So
i'll leave s390 to the IBM folks.

I haven't really tested PowerPC yet. Can anyone give me a helping hand what
would be a good target to test this code in QEMU? Or even better, test this
code on real Hardware?

Where did you start from ? Your patch doesn't apply on latest powerpc/merge branch (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git):

Neither does it apply on 5.2-rc6

Looks like it cleanly applies on 5.1

Could you generate your patch using 'git format-patch -M -C ' ? It would be a lot easier to see the real changes:

Thanks

If that change is acceptable i would finish the patch and submit it. I think
best would be to push this change through Helge's parisc tree, so we don't
have any dependencies to sort out.

Sven
