Subject: [PATCH v5 0/3] kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 10:17:05 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117044708.1337558-1-sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

All existing kexec and kdump sysfs entries are moved to a new location,
/sys/kernel/kexec, to keep /sys/kernel/ clean and better organized.
Symlinks are created at the old locations for backward compatibility and
can be removed in the future [01/03].

While doing this cleanup, the old kexec and kdump sysfs entries are
marked as deprecated in the existing ABI documentation [02/03]. This
makes it clear that these older interfaces should no longer be used.
New ABI documentation is added to describe the reorganized interfaces
[03/03], so users and tools can rely on the updated layout going
forward.
