Subject: [PATCH v5 01/13] kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec

The config options for kexec and crash features are consolidated
into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Under the "General Setup" submenu
is a new submenu "Kexec and crash handling". All the kexec and
crash options that were once in the arch-dependent submenu "Processor
type and features" are now consolidated in the new submenu.

The following options are impacted:

 - KEXEC
 - KEXEC_FILE
 - KEXEC_SIG
 - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
 - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
 - KEXEC_JUMP
 - CRASH_DUMP

The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP.

Architectures specify support of certain KEXEC and CRASH features with
similarly named new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> config options.

Architectures can utilize the new ARCH_SELECTS_<option> config
options to specify additional components when <option> is enabled.

To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

+	help
+	  kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
+	  current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
+	  but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
+	  you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
+
+	  The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
+
+	  It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
+	  is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
+	  initially work for you. As of this writing the exact hardware
+	  interface is strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be
+	  made.

+	  signature of the kernel image. The image can still be loaded without
+	  a valid signature unless you also enable KEXEC_SIG_FORCE, though if
+	  there's a signature that we can check, then it must be valid.
+
+	  In addition to this option, you need to enable signature
+	  verification for the corresponding kernel image type being
+	  loaded in order for this to work.

+	  Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
+	  This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
+	  which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
+	  a specially reserved region and then later executed after
+	  a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
+	  to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
+	  PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
+	  (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
+	  For more details see Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst
+
+	  For s390, this option also enables zfcpdump.
+	  See also <file:Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.rst>
