Subject: [PATCH v4 3/7] LoongArch/kexec_file: Support loading EFI binary file
Date: Wed,  3 Sep 2025 11:00:56 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250903030100.196744-4-youling.tang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250903030100.196744-1-youling.tang@linux.dev>

From: Youling Tang <tangyouling@kylinos.cn>

This patch creates kexec_efi_ops to load EFI binary file for
kexec_file_load() syscall.

The efi_kexec_load() as two parts:
- the first part loads the kernel image (vmlinuz.efi or vmlinux.efi)
- the second part loads other segments (eg: initrd, cmdline)

Currently, pez(vmlinuz.efi) and pei(vmlinux.efi) format images are
supported.

The basic usage (vmlinuz.efi or vmlinux.efi):
1) Load second kernel image:
 # kexec -s -l vmlinuz.efi --initrd=initrd.img --reuse-cmdline

2) Startup second kernel:
 # kexec -e
