2015-02-17kexec: Fix make headers_checkGeoff Levand1-6/+0
Remove the unneded declaration for a kexec_load() routine. Fixes errors like these when running 'make headers_check': include/uapi/linux/kexec.h: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel Paul said: : The kexec_load declaration isn't very useful for userspace, see the patch : I submitted in http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1389791824.17407.9.camel@x220 . : And After my attempt the export of that declaration has also been : discussed in : http://lkml.kernel.org/r/115373b6ac68ee7a305975896e1c4971e8e51d4c.1408731991.git.geoff@infradead.org : : In that last discussion no one has been able to point to an actual user of : it. So, as far as I can tell, no one actually uses it. Which makes : sense, because including this header by itself doesn't give one access to : a useful definition of kexec_load. So why bother with the declaration? Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <[email protected]> Acked-by: Paul Bolle <[email protected]> Cc: H.

2014-08-08kexec: implementation of new syscall kexec_file_loadVivek Goyal1-0/+11
Previous patch provided the interface definition and this patch prvides implementation of new syscall. Previously segment list was prepared in user space. Now user space just passes kernel fd, initrd fd and command line and kernel will create a segment list internally. This patch contains generic part of the code. Actual segment preparation and loading is done by arch and image specific loader. Which comes in next patch.
