[PATCH 1/2] discover/boot: add support for `kexec -s` for kexec_file_load

Jeremy Kerr jk at ozlabs.org
Tue Oct 29 20:15:39 AEDT 2019


kexec supports a -s option to perform a kexec_file_load syscall (in
place of a kexec_load). This is triggered through the -s argument to
kexec.

This change adds support for calling kexec with -s. If that fails, we
fall back to -l.
