The restore_processor_state() function explicitly states that "the asm code
that gets us here will have restored a usable GDT". That wasn't true in the
case of returning from a ::preserve_context kexec. Make it so.
Without this, the kernel was depending on the called function to reload a
GDT which is appropriate for the kernel before returning.
Test program:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <linux/kexec.h>
#include <linux/reboot.h>
#include <sys/reboot.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
int main (void)
{
struct kexec_segment segment = {};
unsigned char purgatory[] = {
0x66, 0xba, 0xf8, 0x03, // mov $0x3f8, %dx
0xb0, 0x42, // mov $0x42, %al
0xee, // outb %al, (%dx)
0xc3, // ret
};
int ret;
segment.buf = &purgatory;
segment.bufsz = sizeof(purgatory);
segment.mem = (void *)0x400000;
segment.memsz = 0x1000;
ret = syscall(__NR_kexec_load, 0x400000, 1, &segment, KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT);
if (ret) {
perror("kexec_load");
exit(1);
}
ret = syscall(__NR_reboot, LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC1, LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC2, LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_KEXEC);
if (ret) {
perror("kexec reboot");
exit(1);
}
printf("Success\n");
return 0;
}

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 reStructuredText 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.
