Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Kexec is a user space utility for loading another kernel and asking the currently running kernel to do something with it. A currently running kernel may be asked to start the loaded kernel on reboot, or to start the loaded kernel after it panics.
