x86/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

Browse Source 
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.

bool "kexec system call"

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.
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool y
The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE
def_bool X86_64 && CRYPTO && CRYPTO_SHA256
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.

help
This is new version of kexec system call. This system call is
file based and takes file descriptors as system call argument
for kernel and initramfs as opposed to list of segments as
accepted by previous system call.

help
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_SIG
def_bool y
This option makes the kexec_file_load() syscall check for a valid
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.
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
def_bool y
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.

This option makes kernel signature verification mandatory for
the kexec_file_load() syscall.

config CRASH_DUMP
bool "kernel crash dumps"
depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
help
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).
