[PATCH v2 06/13] loongarch/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

From: Eric DeVolder <hidden>
Date: 2023-06-19 15:00:52
Also in: linux-m68k, linux-mips, linux-riscv, linux-s390, linux-sh, lkml, loongarch
Subsystem: loongarch, the rest · Maintainers: Huacai Chen, Linus Torvalds

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

-	  but it is independent of the system firmware.   And like a reboot
-	  you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.

-	  Generate crash dump after being started by kexec. This should

-	  kdump/kexec.
