[PATCH v3 04/17] kexec: Add KHO parsing support

Alexander Graf graf at amazon.com
Wed Jan 17 06:46:51 PST 2024


When we have a KHO kexec, we get a device tree, mem cache and scratch
region to populate the state of the system. Provide helper functions
that allow architecture code to easily handle memory reservations based
on them and give device drivers visibility into the KHO DT and memory
reservations so they can recover their own state.

---

v1 -> v2:

  - s/kho_reserve_mem/kho_reserve_previous_mem/g
  - make kho_get_fdt() const
  - Add stubs for return_mem and claim_mem

v2 -> v3:

  - Remove kho reference on read error
  - Move handover_dt unmap up

+Description:
+		When the kernel was booted with Kexec HandOver (KHO),
+		the device tree that carries metadata about the previous
+		kernel's state is in this file. This file may disappear
+		when all consumers of it finished to interpret their
+		metadata.
