kexec: Support purgatories with .text.hot sections
Clang16 links the purgatory text in two sections: [ 1] .text PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00000040 00000000000011a1 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 16 [ 2] .rela.text RELA 0000000000000000 00003498 0000000000000648 0000000000000018 I 24 1 8 ... [17] .text.hot. PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00003220 000000000000020b 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 1 [18] .rela.text.hot. RELA 0000000000000000 00004428 0000000000000078 0000000000000018 I 24 17 8 And both of them have their range [sh_addr ... sh_addr+sh_size] on the area pointed by `e_entry`. This causes that image->start is calculated twice, once for .text and another time for .text.hot. The second calculation leaves image->start in a random location. Because of this, the system crashes inmediatly after: kexec_core: Starting new kernel Signed-off-by: Ricardo Ribalda <ribalda@chromium.org> --- kexec: Fix kexec_file_load for llvm16 When upreving llvm I realised that kexec stopped working on my test platform.
