In arm64_relocate_new_kernel() we load some fields out of the kimage
structure after relocation has occurred. As the kimage structure isn't
allocated to be relocation-safe, it may be clobbered during relocation,
and we may load junk values out of the structure.
Due to this, kexec may fail when the kimage allocation happens to fall
within a PA range that an object will be relocated to. This has been
observed to occur for regular kexec on a QEMU TCG 'virt' machine with
2GiB of RAM, where the PA range of the new kernel image overlaps the
kimage structure.
Avoid this by ensuring we load all values from the kimage structure
prior to relocation.
I've tested this atop v5.16 and v5.18-rc6.

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.
