[PATCH 1/2] kexec: Create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for new syscall

Wed Aug 13 07:42:59 PDT 2014
Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code
compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory code
which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems to be
available only gcc 4.4 onwards.
Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break
existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality
will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how
can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while.
I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config
option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches
don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used.
This new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other
arches had to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction
of new config option, we can remove crypto dependency from other
arches.
Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I
had CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that.
For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed
it to "depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is
not recursive.
