    kexec: load and relocate purgatory at kernel load time · 12db5562
    Vivek Goyal authored
    Load purgatory code in RAM and relocate it based on the location.
    Relocation code has been inspired by module relocation code and purgatory
    relocation code in kexec-tools.
    
    Also compute the checksums of loaded kexec segments and store them in
    purgatory.
    
    Arch independent code provides this functionality so that arch dependent
    bootloaders can make use of it.
    
    Helper functions are provided to get/set symbol values in purgatory which
    are used by bootloaders later to set things like stack and entry point of
    second kernel etc.
