kexec: implemented XEN KEXEC STATUS to determine if an image is loaded

Instead of the scripts having to poke at various fields we can provide that functionality via the -S parameter.

Returns 0 if the payload is loaded. Can be used in combination with -l or -p to get the state of the proper kexec image.

Hi,

I don't strongly oppose against this, but could you tell what you have met makes the kexec_loaded/kexec_crash_loaded checking not convenient to you?

Quoted 38 lines

Instead of the scripts having to poke at various fields we can provide that functionality via the -S parameter.

Returns 0 if the payload is loaded. Can be used in combination with -l or -p to get the state of the proper kexec image.

Hi,

I don't strongly oppose against this, but could you tell what you have met makes the kexec_loaded/kexec_crash_loaded checking not convenient to you?

kexec_loaded/kexec_crash_loaded exposes Linux kernel kexec/crash state. It does not say anything about Xen kexec/crash state. So, we need a special approach to get the latter. Though for compatibility we provide similar functionality in kexec-tools for the former.

I hope that helps.

Instead of the scripts having to poke at various fields we can provide that functionality via the -S parameter.

Returns 0 if the payload is loaded. Can be used in combination with -l or -p to get the state of the proper kexec image.

Eric, I have a feeling that you should add en extra indentation for lines starting from "+if test "$have_xenctrl_h"..." and ending at "+fi".

Hi,

this change seems worthwhile to me but am I correct in thinking that it adds a new -S option that works both with and without Xen?

If so I'd like that reflected in the changelog.
