25 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
26 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
27 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
28 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
29
30 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
31
32 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
33 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
34 initially work for you. As of this writing the exact hardware
35 interface is strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be
36 made.

45 This is new version of kexec system call. This system call is
46 file based and takes file descriptors as system call argument
47 for kernel and initramfs as opposed to list of segments as
48 accepted by kexec system call.

54 help
55 This option makes the kexec_file_load() syscall check for a valid
56 signature of the kernel image. The image can still be loaded without
57 a valid signature unless you also enable KEXEC_SIG_FORCE, though if
58 there's a signature that we can check, then it must be valid.
59
60 In addition to this option, you need to enable signature
61 verification for the corresponding kernel image type being
62 loaded in order for this to work.

106 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
107 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
108 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
109 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
110 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
111 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
112 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
113 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
114 For more details see Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst
115
116 For s390, this option also enables zfcpdump.

137 help
138 For the kexec_file_load() syscall path, specify the maximum number of
139 memory regions that the elfcorehdr buffer/segment can accommodate.
140 These regions are obtained via walk_system_ram_res(); eg. the
141 'System RAM' entries in /proc/iomem.
142 This value is combined with NR_CPUS_DEFAULT and multiplied by
143 sizeof(Elf64_Phdr) to determine the final elfcorehdr memory buffer/
144 segment size.
145 The value 8192, for example, covers a (sparsely populated) 1TiB system
146 consisting of 128MiB memblocks, while resulting in an elfcorehdr
147 memory buffer/segment size under 1MiB. This represents a sane choice
148 to accommodate both baremetal and virtual machine configurations.

150 For the kexec_load() syscall path, CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES is part of
151 the computation behind the value provided through the
152 /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size attribute.
