Expand description

Loads a kernel from a 32-bit or 64-bit ELF image into memory.

The ELF file will be loaded at the physical address specified by the p_paddr fields of its program headers.

ยงArguments

  • guest_mem - The guest memory region the kernel is written to.
  • kernel_start - The minimum guest address to allow when loading program headers.
  • kernel_image - Input vmlinux image.
  • phys_offset - An offset in bytes to add to each physical address (p_paddr).
