2018-04-13kernel/kexec_file.c: allow archs to set purgatory load addressPhilipp Rudo1-4/+5
For s390 new kernels are loaded to fixed addresses in memory before they are booted. With the current code this is a problem as it assumes the kernel will be loaded to an 'arbitrary' address. In particular, kexec_locate_mem_hole searches for a large enough memory region and sets the load address (kexec_bufer->mem) to it. Luckily there is a simple workaround for this problem. By returning 1 in arch_kexec_walk_mem, kexec_locate_mem_hole is turned off. This allows the architecture to set kbuf->mem by hand. While the trick works fine for the kernel it does not for the purgatory as here the architectures don't have access to its kexec_buffer. Give architectures access to the purgatories kexec_buffer by changing kexec_load_purgatory to take a pointer to it. With this change architectures have access to the buffer and can edit it as they need. A nice side effect of this change is that we can get rid of the purgatory_info->purgatory_load_address field. As now the information stored there can directly be accessed from kbuf->mem.

2018-04-13kexec_file,x86,powerpc: factor out kexec_file_ops functionsAKASHI Takahiro1-1/+1
As arch_kexec_kernel_image_{probe,load}(), arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() and arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() are almost duplicated among architectures, they can be commonalized with an architecture-defined kexec_file_ops array. So let's factor them out.

2016-12-20powerpc: ima: send the kexec buffer to the next kernelThiago Jung Bauermann1-1/+1
The IMA kexec buffer allows the currently running kernel to pass the measurement list via a kexec segment to the kernel that will be kexec'd. This is the architecture-specific part of setting up the IMA kexec buffer for the next kernel. It will be used in the next patch.

2016-11-30powerpc: Add support code for kexec_file_load()Thiago Jung Bauermann1-0/+663
This patch adds the support code needed for implementing kexec_file_load() on powerpc. This consists of functions to load the ELF kernel, either big or little endian, and setup the purgatory enviroment which switches from the first kernel to the second kernel. None of this code is built yet, as it depends on CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE which we have not yet defined. Although we could define CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE in this patch, we'd then have a window in history where the kconfig symbol is present but the syscall is not, which would be awkward.
