[ kexec ]
for Nokia Internet Tablets (NITs)
kexec
is a bright mechanism to load a new Linux kernel into memory and then execute it,
taking the machine control, performing device initialization and finally
init(8) invocation (depends on
the init= kernel parameter) as if you were booting the machine, it is commonly
used to perform very fast reboots with minimal service disruption.
Requirements:
Linux kernel >= 2.6.25 for ARM.
CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_ATAGS_PROC in the kernel configuration.
Userspace
kexec-tools.
For the NITs:
Source
patch against
kexec-tools.
Static pre-compiled
binary (ARM-EABI).
Testing
kernel that kexecs the original.
