The quilt patch titled Subject: kexec/arm64: initialize the random field of kbuf to zero in the image loader has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kexec-arm64-initialize-the-random-field-of-kbuf-to-zero-in-the-image-loader.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

------------------------------------------------------ From: Breno Leitao leitao@debian.org Subject: kexec/arm64: initialize the random field of kbuf to zero in the image loader Date: Thu Aug 21 04:11:21 2025 -0700

Add an explicit initialization for the random member of the kbuf structure within the image_load function in arch/arm64/kernel/kexec_image.c. Setting kbuf.random to zero ensures a deterministic and clean starting state for the buffer used during kernel image loading, avoiding this UBSAN issue later, when kbuf.random is read.

[ 32.362488] UBSAN: invalid-load in ./include/linux/kexec.h:210:10 [ 32.362649] load of value 252 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'
