[PATCH v1 06/21] loongarch/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

Eric DeVolder eric.devolder at oracle.com
Mon Jun 12 10:27:58 PDT 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.
