    Subject[PATCH v2 0/7] kexec_file, x86, powerpc: refactoring for other architecutres
    Date
    This is a preparatory patch set for adding kexec_file support on arm64.

    It was originally included in a arm64 patch set[1], but Philipp is also
    working on their kexec_file support on s390[2] and some changes are now
    conflicting.

    So these common parts were extracted and put into a separate patch set for
    better integration. What's more, my original patch#4 was split into a few
    small chunks for easier review after Dave's comment.

    As such, the resulting code is basically identical with my original, and
    the only *visible* differences are:
    * renamings of _kexec_kernel_image_probe() and
    _kimage_file_post_load_cleanup()
    * change one of types of arguments at prepare_elf64_headers()
    Those, unfortunately, require a couple of trivial changes on the rest
    (#1, #6 to #13) of my arm64 kexec_file patch set[1].

    Patch#1 allows making a use of purgatory optional, particularly useful
    for arm64.
    Patch#2 commonalizes arch_kexec_kernel_{image_probe, image_load,
    verify_sig}() and arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() across architectures.
    Patch#3-#7 is also intended to generalize parse_elf64_headers(), along with
    exclude_mem_range(), to be made best re-use of.

    Changes in v2 (Mar 6, 2018)
    * use IS_ENABLED() instead of #ifdef's in kexec_calculate_store_digests()
    * rename _kexec_kernel_*() and make them static for now except for
    kexec_image_probe_default() which is actually used by arch(powerpc) code
    (Note: kexec_image_post_load_cleanup_default() will also be exported by
    arm64 patches.)
    * change a type of kernel_map in prepare_elf64_headers() to "int"
    * check for a total number of system ram regions in full_up_crash_elf_data()
    and use vzalloc() instead of vmalloc()

    AKASHI Takahiro (7):
    kexec_file: make an use of purgatory optional
    kexec_file,x86,powerpc: factor out kexec_file_ops functions
    x86: kexec_file: purge system-ram walking from prepare_elf64_headers()
    x86: kexec_file: remove X86_64 dependency from prepare_elf64_headers()
    x86: kexec_file: lift CRASH_MAX_RANGES limit on crash_mem buffer
    x86: kexec_file: clean up prepare_elf64_headers()
    kexec_file, x86: move re-factored code to generic side
