1348a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  Allow kexec to hand over state across kernels by generating and
1448a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  passing additional metadata to the target kernel. This is useful
1548a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  to keep data or state alive across the kexec. For this to work,
1648a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  both source and target kernels need to have this option enabled.

2148a1b232SPasha Tatashin	help
2248a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  This option enables extra sanity checks for the Kexec Handover
2348a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  subsystem. Since, KHO performance is crucial in live update
2448a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  scenarios and the extra code might be adding overhead it is
2548a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  only optionally enabled.

3448a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  interface, i.e. finalize the state or aborting the finalization.
3548a1b232SPasha Tatashin	  Also, enables inspecting the KHO fdt trees with the debugfs binary

417bd3643fSPasha Tatashin	help
427bd3643fSPasha Tatashin	  Enable Kexec Handover by default. This avoids the need to
437bd3643fSPasha Tatashin	  explicitly pass 'kho=on' on the kernel command line.
447bd3643fSPasha Tatashin
457bd3643fSPasha Tatashin	  This is useful for systems where KHO is a prerequisite for other
467bd3643fSPasha Tatashin	  features, such as Live Update, ensuring the mechanism is always
477bd3643fSPasha Tatashin	  active.
487bd3643fSPasha Tatashin
497bd3643fSPasha Tatashin	  The default behavior can still be overridden at boot time by
507bd3643fSPasha Tatashin	  passing 'kho=off'.

559e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	help
569e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  Enable the Live Update Orchestrator. Live Update is a mechanism,
579e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  typically based on kexec, that allows the kernel to be updated
589e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  while keeping selected devices operational across the transition.
599e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  These devices are intended to be reclaimed by the new kernel and
609e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  re-attached to their original workload without requiring a device
619e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  reset.
629e2fd062SPasha Tatashin
639e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  Ability to handover a device from current to the next kernel depends
649e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  on specific support within device drivers and related kernel
659e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  subsystems.
669e2fd062SPasha Tatashin
679e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  This feature primarily targets virtual machine hosts to quickly update
689e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  the kernel hypervisor with minimal disruption to the running virtual
699e2fd062SPasha Tatashin	  machines.

82*998be0a4SPasha Tatashin
83*998be0a4SPasha Tatashin	  This can be used to back VM memory with memfds, allowing the guest
