[PATCH v2 12/13] s390/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

From: Eric DeVolder
Date: Mon Jun 19 2023 - 11:00:28 EST


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.

NOTE: The original Kconfig has a KEXEC_SIG which depends on
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT. However, attempts to keep the MODULE_SIG_FORMAT
dependency (using the strategy outlined in this series, and other
techniques) results in 'error: recursive dependency detected'
on CRYPTO. This occurs due to any path through KEXEC_SIG
attempting to select CRYPTO is ultimately dependent upon CRYPTO:

CRYPTO
<- ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE
<- KEXEC_FILE
<- KEXEC_SIG

Therefore, the solution is to drop the MODULE_SIG_FORMAT dependency
for KEXEC_SIG. In practice, however, MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is still
configured-in as the use of KEXEC_SIG is in step with the use of
SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION, which does select MODULE_SIG_FORMAT.
Not ideal, but results in equivalent .config files for s390.
