      Restart of the kdump service does not trigger any SELinux denials in default configuration. SELinux policy defines new type and rules for memfd objects created by the kdump service under the /dev/shm directory.

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      kexec-tools is upgraded to acquire the ability to load zboot format kernel.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      How reproducible:

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Get the kexec-tools-2.0.27-1.el9 from https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=2730318
        And install it.

      Running "kexec restart", it will fail to start.
      And the selinux related audit log looks like:
      ausearch -m AVC,USER_AVC,SELINUX_ERR,USER_SELINUX_ERR
