KHO is the remaining architecture gate needed by Live Update (LUO) on LoongArch. The transport is the central problem. Arm64 and riscv can pass the KHO state FDT and scratch area through properties under /chosen in a boot FDT. LoongArch boots through EFI without a boot FDT, so that path is not available. EFI KHO channel: v5 reworks the EFI transport following Pratyush's and Huacai's reviews [1, 2]. Instead of rebuilding the EFI configuration table in LoongArch code and switching st->tables before kexec, the common EFI stub allocates and installs a persistent table under LINUX_EFI_KEXEC_HANDOVER_GUID. This follows the model used by LINUX_EFI_MEMRESERVE_TABLE_GUID. The common EFI table parser reserves the stub-allocated table, reads it during early boot, and calls kho_populate(). An early initcall keeps the table persistently mapped so it can also be updated on the crash kexec path. The implementation is architecture-independent; LoongArch only selects EFI_KHO when KEXEC_HANDOVER is enabled. The EFI table is global, but kexec can keep separate normal and crash images and can replace a loaded candidate. Updating the table while a candidate image is being loaded could therefore leave it pointing at a failed candidate while the previously installed image remains the one that will be executed. v5 records the KHO data in struct kimage and synchronizes the channel from the image selected for execution. Images without KHO data, including legacy and crash images, clear the channel so the next kernel boots cold rather than reviving stale state. The GUID name is changed to LINUX_EFI_KEXEC_HANDOVER_GUID as suggested by Huacai and Pratyush [3]. Existing x86 KHO support continues to use its setup_data transport. Besides supporting non-UEFI boot, that entry is consumed by the x86 decompressor before normal EFI table parsing, so KASLR only uses KHO scratch areas and does not overwrite preserved memory. The new channel is installed by the generic EFI-stub entry path and relies on EFI_GENERIC_STUB, which x86 does not select. Moving x86 would therefore require installing the table from the x86-specific EFI stub and scanning it in the decompressor, not just selecting EFI_KHO. LoongArch enablement and build fix: The architecture patch now only enables ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_HANDOVER and selects the generic EFI channel. No LoongArch setup reader, kexec writer, or EFI system-table replacement remains. The linux/mm.h build fix is moved from luo_session.c to kho_block.c, where the virt_to_phys() and phys_to_virt() calls reside after the liveupdate refactoring. This addresses Pratyush's review [4]. Adding linux/mm.h to asm/io.h was previously attempted, but creates an include cycle under CONFIG_KFENCE [5]. The fix precedes LoongArch enablement so every intermediate commit builds with CONFIG_KFENCE=y. Selftest: The LoongArch vmtest boots vmlinux.efi through EDK2 because the initial EFI stub invocation installs the channel being tested. QEMU_EFI can override the firmware filename for distributions that install it under a different name or path. CONFIG_ACPI_SPCR_TABLE lets the bare earlycon parameter obtain the UART description from EDK2's SPCR table. CONFIG_PCI_HOST_GENERIC keeps i8042 enabled while ensuring that the QEMU virt machine's PCI I/O space is mapped before the legacy fallback probe, addressing Huacai's concern that the same kernel configuration should remain usable for hosts and guests. With EFI runtime reset services available, panic=-1 and QEMU's existing -no-reboot option terminate the test normally. The generic QEMU runner therefore remains unchanged and does not mask failures by forcibly terminating QEMU after a timeout. The LoongArch vmtest uses the default KHO scratch-sizing path. This series is based on the generic fix that calculates per-node scratch sizes before scratch allocation [6]. The KHO vmtest passes on: * LoongArch with KVM using QEMU_EFI.fd from edk2-loongarch64. * x86_64 with KVM, as regression coverage for the generic kexec/KHO changes. Patch layout: 1. Add the generic EFI KHO channel and its ABI. 2. Synchronize the channel from the selected image at execution. 3. Fix the kho_block.c header dependency exposed by LoongArch/KFENCE. 4. Enable KHO on 64-bit LoongArch through the generic EFI channel. 5. Add LoongArch to the KHO QEMU selftest. Changes since v4: * Allocate and install the KHO table from the common EFI stub, following the EFI memreserve-table model (Pratyush). * Parse, reserve, map, and update the channel in generic EFI code; remove the LoongArch-specific reader, writer, and st->tables replacement (Pratyush, Huacai). * Synchronize the global channel at execution rather than image load; clear it for cold and crash images and use the scratch payload size. * Rename the GUID to LINUX_EFI_KEXEC_HANDOVER_GUID (Huacai, Pratyush). * Move the linux/mm.h include from luo_session.c to the actual caller, kho_block.c, and place the fix before architecture enablement (Pratyush, Huacai). * Boot the vmtest through EDK2, allow QEMU_EFI to override the firmware, and use vmlinux.efi to exercise the EFI stub and channel. * Keep i8042 enabled and select PCI_HOST_GENERIC instead of disabling the host configuration in the selftest (Huacai). * Enable ACPI_SPCR_TABLE and use the SPCR-provided early console. * Exercise the default KHO scratch-sizing path in the LoongArch vmtest; depend on the separately posted generic sizing fix [6]. * Drop the generic QEMU timeout now that EFI runtime reset services make the LoongArch guest terminate normally. * Rebase onto Linux 7.3-rc1.
