Subject: [PATCH 2/6] kexec: make -a the default
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
AFAICT, there's no downside to this, and running into this each time
I want to kexec (and, presumably, a significant chunk of the population,
since lockdown is quite popular) on some machines,
then going to the manual, then finding out I want the /auto/ flag(!)
is quite annoying:
# kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-3-amd64 --initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-3-amd64 --reuse-cmdline
kexec_load failed: Operation not permitted
entry = 0x46eff7760 flags = 0x3e0000
nr_segments = 7

Try the new KEXEC_FILE_LOAD syscall first and when it is not supported or the
