Hi Akashi,

This patch provides kexec_file_ops for "Image"-format kernel. In this
implementation, a binary is always loaded with a fixed offset identified
in text_offset field of its header.

Page size? What about 'phys_base'?, (whatever that is...)
Probably best to refer to Documentation/arm64/booting.txt here, its the
authoritative source of what these fields mean.

__le64 as appropriate here would let tools like sparse catch any missing endian

I'm surprised we don't have a definition for this already, I guess its always
done in asm. We have kernel/image.h that holds some of this stuff, if we are
going to validate the flags, is it worth adding the code there, (and moving it
to include/asm)?

+static const u8 arm64_image_magic[4] = {'A', 'R', 'M', 0x64U};
Any chance this magic could be a pre-processor symbol shared with head.S?

memcmp()? Or just define it as a 32bit value?
I guess you skip the MZ prefix as its not present for !EFI?

Could we check branch_code is non-zero, and text-offset points within image-size?


We could check that this platform supports the page-size/endian config that this
Image was built with... We get a message from the EFI stub if the page-size
can't be supported, it would be nice to do the same here (as we can).

(no idea if kexec-tool checks this stuff, it probably can't get at the id
registers to know)

You only seem to use kern_segment here, and in load_other_segments() called
below. Could it not be a local variable passed in? Instead of arch-specific data
we keep forever?

Looks good,
