[PATCH v4 10/13] powerpc/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

Eric DeVolder eric.devolder at oracle.com
Thu Jul 6 00:20:01 AEST 2023


The kexec and crash kernel options are provided in the common
kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Utilize the common options and provide
the ARCH_SUPPORTS_ and ARCH_SELECTS_ entries to recreate the
equivalent set of KEXEC and CRASH options.

-	  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
