The commit message is not too helpful either about why this was not mainlined. ---- Subject: kexec: Move asm segment handling code to the assembly file (x86_64) From: http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg (tip 13816) Patch-mainline: obsolete This patch moves the idt, gdt, and segment handling code from machine_kexec.c to relocate_kernel.S. The main reason behind this move is to avoid code duplication in the Xen hypervisor. With this patch all code required to kexec is put on the control page. On top of that this patch also counts as a cleanup - I think it is much nicer to write assembly directly in assembly files than wrap inline assembly in C functions for no apparent reason.

Tried explicitly with kexec instead of the installer. kexec -l --append & kexec -e Didn't hit a triple fault with this new kernel. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
