Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] kexec_file: allow to place kexec_buf randomly
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2024 18:04:25 +0800
Message-ID: <20240425100434.198925-2-coxu@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20240425100434.198925-1-coxu@redhat.com>

Currently, kexec_buf is placed in order which means for the same
machine, the info in the kexec_buf is always located at the same
position each time the machine is booted. This may cause a risk for
sensitive information like LUKS volume key. Now struct kexec_buf has a
new field random which indicates it's supposed to be placed in a random
position.
