Subject: Documentation: sysctl: correct kexec_load_disabled
Date: Wed, 04 Jan 2023 15:38:46 +0100
Patch series "kexec: Add new parameter to limit the access to kexec", v6.
Add two parameter to specify how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded.
These parameter allow hardening the system.
While we are at it, fix a documentation issue and refactor some code.
This patch (of 3):
kexec_load_disabled affects both ``kexec_load`` and ``kexec_file_load``
syscalls. Make it explicit.

+A toggle indicating if the syscalls ``kexec_load`` and

+This value defaults to 0 (false: ``kexec_*load`` enabled), but can be
+set to 1 (true: ``kexec_*load`` disabled).
Once true, kexec can no longer be used, and the toggle cannot be set
back to false.
This allows a kexec image to be loaded before disabling the syscall,
