[PATCHv6 2/5] kexec: Introduce a member kernel_fd in kexec_info

Sun Jul 23 19:21:39 PDT 2023


Utilize the image load interface to export the kernel fd, which points
to the uncompressed kernel and will be passed to kexec_file_load.

The credit goes to the Dave Young, who contributes the original code.
