Patch series "kexec: Remove unnecessary arch hook", v2. There are no arch-specific things in arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(), so remove it and just use the generic version. This patch (of 2): The x86 implementation of arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() is functionally identical to the generic arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(): arch_kexec_kernel_image_load # x86 if (!image->fops || !image->fops->load) return ERR_PTR(-ENOEXEC); return image->fops->load(image, image->kernel_buf, ...) arch_kexec_kernel_image_load # generic kexec_image_load_default if (!image->fops || !image->fops->load) return ERR_PTR(-ENOEXEC); return image->fops->load(image, image->kernel_buf, ...) Remove the x86-specific version and use the generic arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(). No functional change intended.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
