	commit 95c54cd9c769a198118772e196adfaa1f002e365 upstream. The kexec_buf structure was previously declared without initialization. commit bf454ec31add ("kexec_file: allow to place kexec_buf randomly") added a field that is always read but not consistently populated by all architectures. This un-initialized field will contain garbage. This is also triggering a UBSAN warning when the uninitialized data was accessed: ------------[ cut here ]------------ UBSAN: invalid-load in ./include/linux/kexec.h:210:10 load of value 252 is not a valid value for type '_Bool' Zero-initializing kexec_buf at declaration ensures all fields are cleanly set, preventing future instances of uninitialized memory being used.

2025-06-05	riscv: kexec_file: Split the loading of kernel and others	Song Shuai
	This is the preparative patch for kexec_file_load Image support. It separates the elf_kexec_load() as two parts: - the first part loads the vmlinux (or Image) - the second part loads other segments (e.g. initrd,fdt,purgatory) And the second part is exported as the load_extra_segments() function which would be used in both kexec-elf.c and kexec-image.c. No functional change intended.
