[PATCH v2 1/2] kexec: add dtb info to struct kimage

Show all headers | View raw

From: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@linaro.org>

Device tree blob must be passed to a second kernel on DTB-capable
archs, like powerpc and arm64, but the current kernel interface
lacks this support.

This patch adds dtb buffer information to struct kimage.
When users don't specify dtb explicitly and the one used for the current
kernel can be re-used, this change will be good enough for implementing
kexec_file_load feature.
