[PATCH v2 2/3] boot/pb-discover: Use kexec_file config option to determine kexec syscall

Eric Richter erichte at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Fri Mar 31 05:56:23 AEDT 2017


Adds a kexec_file boolean to the boot_task struct to control which
syscall is used for kexec loading. If set to true, the parameter for
kexec_file_load (-s) is passed to kexec-{tools,lite} instead of the default
parameter for kexec_load (-l).
