Subject: [PATCH 2/4] riscv: Add support for kexec handover (KHO)
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 19:16:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023111612.2134-3-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023111612.2134-1-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com>
KHO is architecture independent: the outgoing kernel publishes the
handover FDT and the scratch descriptor array in the /chosen node of
the DTB it builds for the incoming kernel (kho_add_chosen(), reached
from of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt()), and the incoming kernel picks
both up while scanning that node (early_init_dt_check_kho() ->
kho_populate()).
RISC-V already builds that DTB in load_extra_segments() and passes it
to the incoming kernel in a1, so only the architecture symbol is
missing. Depend on 64BIT to match ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE, and on
MMU because KEXEC_HANDOVER selects CMA, which depends on MMU.
