+ 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.
+
+ The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
+
+ 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.

+ select CRYPTO_SHA256
+ select KEXEC_CORE

+ 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 kexec system call.
+
+config KEXEC_SIG
+ bool "Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall"
+ depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_SIG
+ depends on KEXEC_FILE
+ help
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+config KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
+ bool "Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall"

+ bool "kernel crash dumps"
+ depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
+ select CRASH_CORE
+ select KEXEC_CORE
+ 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).
+ For more details see Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst
+
+ For s390, this option also enables zfcpdump.

+ bool "Update the crash elfcorehdr on system configuration changes"

+ depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_HOTPLUG
+ help
+ Enable direct update to the crash elfcorehdr (which contains
+ the list of CPUs and memory regions to be dumped upon a crash)
+ in response to hot plug/unplug or online/offline of CPUs or
+ memory. This is a much more advanced approach than userspace
+ attempting that.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+config CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES
+ int "Specify the maximum number of memory regions for the elfcorehdr"
+ default 8192
+ depends on CRASH_HOTPLUG
+ help
+ For the kexec_file_load() syscall path, specify the maximum number of
+ memory regions that the elfcorehdr buffer/segment can accommodate.
+ These regions are obtained via walk_system_ram_res(); eg. the
+ 'System RAM' entries in /proc/iomem.
+ This value is combined with NR_CPUS_DEFAULT and multiplied by
+ sizeof(Elf64_Phdr) to determine the final elfcorehdr memory buffer/
+ segment size.
+ The value 8192, for example, covers a (sparsely populated) 1TiB system
+ consisting of 128MiB memblocks, while resulting in an elfcorehdr
+ memory buffer/segment size under 1MiB. This represents a sane choice
+ to accommodate both baremetal and virtual machine configurations.
+
+ For the kexec_load() syscall path, CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES is part of
+ the computation behind the value provided through the
+ /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size attribute.
