[PATCH v1 05/21] arm64/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

Eric DeVolder eric.devolder at oracle.com
Tue Jun 13 03:27:57 AEST 2023


The kexec and crash kernel options are provided in the common
kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Utilize the common options and provide
the ARCH_HAS_ and ARCH_SUPPORTS_ 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.

-	  This is new version of kexec system call. This system call is
-	  file based and takes file descriptors as system call argument

-	  Select this option to verify a signature with loaded kernel

-
-	  In addition to that option, you need to enable signature
-	  verification for the corresponding kernel image type being
-	  loaded in order for this to work.
