[ol8_baseos_latest] kexec-tools-2.0.20-34.0.3.el8_3.1.x86_64

kexec-tools provides /usr/sbin/kexec binary that facilitates a new
kernel to boot using the kernel's kexec feature either on a
normal or a panic reboot. This package contains the /usr/sbin/kexec
binary and ancillary utilities that together form the userspace
component of the kernel's kexec feature.
