[PATCH v5 11/16] kexec: add config option for KHO

From: Changyuan Lyu
Date: Wed Mar 19 2025 - 21:58:28 EST


From: Alexander Graf <graf@xxxxxxxxxx>

We have all generic code in place now to support Kexec with KHO. This
patch adds a config option that depends on architecture support to
enable KHO support.

+ Allow kexec to hand over state across kernels by generating and

+ to keep data or state alive across the kexec. For this to work,
