'Bye!' doesn't mean much, other than the first kernel has
almost shutdown. I recommend for debugging you either define
ARM64_DEBUG_PORT for the kexec-tools build, or have a suitable
earlyprintk= on the kernel command line. See the read_sink()
routine in kexec-arm64.c.
Either of these will output something like this from the
purgatory code:
I'm in purgatory
purgatory: kernel_entry: 0000000080080000
purgatory: dtb: 0000000080760000
Another option is to add my 'debugging: early putc' patch,
build the kernel with ARM64_DEBUG_PORT defined for your
board. This will output 'stext' when the second
stage kernel is entered
The kexec --lite option will bypass purgatory and should just
show 'stext'.
