[PATCH 3/6] kexec_file: Allow skipping checksum calculation for some segments.

Thiago Jung Bauermann bauerman at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Tue Jun 21 11:44:33 AEST 2016


Adds checksum argument to kexec_add_buffer specifying whether the given
segment should be part of the checksum calculation.

The next patch will add a way to update segments after a kimage is loaded.
Segments that will be updated in this way should not be checksummed,
otherwise they will cause the purgatory checksum verification to fail
when the machine is rebooted.

As a bonus, we don't need to special-case the purgatory segment anymore
to avoid checksumming it.

Adjust call sites for the new argument.
