[PATCH v2 3/3] ppc64: Add a flag to tell the kernel it's booting from kexec

Scott Wood scottwood at freescale.com
Wed Oct 7 09:55:50 AEDT 2015


It needs to know this because the SMP release mechanism for Freescale
book3e is different from when booting with normal hardware.  In theory
we could simulate the normal spin table mechanism, but not (easily) at
the addresses U-Boot put in the device tree -- so there'd need to be
even more communication between the kernel and kexec to set that up.

Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood at freescale.com>
---
v2: Use a device tree property rather than setting a flag in the kernel
image, as requested by Michael Ellerman.
