Subject: [PATCH v6 01/14] 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.
