Merge tag 'liveupdate-v7.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/liveupdate/linux

Pull liveupdate updates from Mike Rapoport:
"Kexec Handover:

- Fix size calculation in kho_preserved_memory_reserve() for
preservations larger than 2 GiB

Live Update Orchestrator:

- move liveupdate selftest utilities into a library so that selftests
of subsystems participating in liveupdate, e.g. PCI and VFIO, can
use them and drop direct ioctl calls from the tests

- add end to end liveupdate test infrastructure that allows running
the tests across a kexec in QEMU

- remove redundant INIT_LIST_HEAD in luo_session_alloc()

- remember the error status of an FLB retrieve() and return it on
subsequent attempts rather than retrying retrieve() with an FLB in
an unexpected state

- reference count the outgoing FLB so that it cannot be freed while a
caller is using it, the same way it's done for the incoming FLB

- reject nonzero reserved field in LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_FINISH so that
it can be reused by a future extension"

selftests/liveupdate: add end to end test infrastructure and scripts

Add the end to end testing infrastructure required to verify the
liveupdate feature. This includes a custom init process, a test
orchestration script, and a batch runner.

The framework consists of:

init.c:
A lightweight init process that manages the kexec lifecycle.
It mounts necessary filesystems, determines the current execution
stage (1 or 2) via the kernel command line, and handles the
kexec_file_load() sequence to transition between kernels.

vmtest.sh:
The primary KTAP-compliant test driver. It handles:
- Kernel configuration merging and building.
- Cross-compilation detection for x86_64 and arm64.
- Generation of the initrd containing the test binary and init.
- QEMU execution with automatic accelerator detection (KVM, HVF,
or TCG).

run-vmtests.sh:
A wrapper that runs vmtest.sh for each LUO test across supported
architectures, providing a summary of pass/fail/skip results.
