Hello Lakshmi,

delete_fdt_mem_rsv() retrieves the memory reserve map entry, for
the given starting address and size, from the device tree blob, and
removes the entry from the device tree blob. This function is called
to free the resources reserved for the buffer used for carrying forward
the IMA measurement logs on kexec. This function does not have
architecture specific code, but is currently limited to powerpc.

Move delete_fdt_mem_rsv() to "drivers/of/kexec_fdt.c" so that it is

s/kexec_fdt.c/kexec.c/

Missed that in the patch description. Will fix it. Thanks.

Isn't this too broad? kexec.o will only be useful to kernel configs
which enable CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, so perhaps do:

ifdef CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE
ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE
obj-y += kexec.o
endif
endif

What do you think?

Per Rob's feedback on v9 patch set, I have moved all the architecture
independent ima kexec functions to a single file "drivers/of/kexec.c"
Since these functions are enabled on different kernel CONFIGs, I have
used IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_XYZ) macro instead of "#ifdef" in the C file to
conditionally compile.

Per Rob's feedback on the v9 patch, I'll keep the ima kexec functions in a
single file (in "drivers/of/kexec.c") and use IS_ENABLED() macro to handle the
function calls.

I'll make the other changes you'd suggested on v10 patches and will post v11
patch set shortly.

From a cursory look at the use of functions in this file, I got the

impression that there wouldn't be any reference to them in kernel
configs that didn't have CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE enabled, which is why I
suggested the change above. I think you can make it without any other
changes to the code.
I could be wrong though, and there could be some config which tried to
use some of these functions even when CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is disabled. In
that case, the customary way to resolve it is to provide static inline
stub versions in a header file (not in a .c file) of just those
functions that are needed.
The reason why placing stub functions in header files is better is that
then the compiler has visibility of the dummy function when compiling
the source file which uses the function, and is able to eliminate the
dead code that arises from the function always returning one value.

I agree with you Thiago.

Is there a way to keep all the relevant functions in a single C file, not use
"#ifdef" in C file, and follow the coding pattern you've described above (i
mean, "defining a stub function in a header file when the config conditions are
not met")?

Like I said above, my impression is that you don't need any ifdefs since
my understanding is that all funcitons in the C file are only used when
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is set. Do you anticipate (or have found) problems
with that?
