On their way as a 32-patch series. I've found the userspace tools to be
in particularly poor shape, so some of the patches are fixing that up.
I can't believe that anyone uses these userspace tools, because there
are some fundamental bugs present in this code which go back years.
However, the repository does seem to be maintained, with the latest
commit within the last two months (or day when I started working on
this.)
They're based upon 2.0.12-rc1 (93d3a617) of the
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git
repository, which was the latest commit when I started working on this
back in March. Things may have moved forwards since then - I've not
been able to check yet. However, this set of changes should be
sufficient to get an idea of what's required on the userspace side.
Thanks.
