[PATCH v1 11/21] riscv/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

Eric DeVolder eric.devolder at oracle.com
Tue Jun 13 03:28:03 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

-	  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.
