kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec

Patch series "refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options", v6.

The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options from
various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec.

The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
located under "General Setup".

The following options are impacted:

 - KEXEC
 - KEXEC_FILE
 - KEXEC_SIG
 - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
 - KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
 - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
 - KEXEC_JUMP
 - CRASH_DUMP

Over time, these options have been copied between Kconfig files and
are very similar to one another, but with slight differences.

The following architectures are impacted by the refactor (because of
use of one or more KEXEC/CRASH options):

 - arm
 - arm64
 - ia64
 - loongarch
 - m68k
 - mips
 - parisc
 - powerpc
 - riscv
 - s390
 - sh
 - x86

In the patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot
un/plug"

 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503224145.7405-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/

the new kernel feature introduces the config option CRASH_HOTPLUG.

In reviewing, Thomas Gleixner requested that the new config option
not be placed in x86 Kconfig. Rather the option needs a generic/common
home. To Thomas' point, the KEXEC and CRASH options have largely been
duplicated in the various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files, with minor
differences. This kind of proliferation is to be avoid/stopped.

 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/875y91yv63.ffs@tglx/

To that end, I have refactored the arch Kconfigs so as to consolidate
the various KEXEC and CRASH options. Generally speaking, this work has
the following themes:

- KEXEC and CRASH options are moved into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec
  - These items from arch/Kconfig:
      CRASH_CORE KEXEC_CORE KEXEC_ELF HAVE_IMA_KEXEC
  - These items from arch/x86/Kconfig form the common options:
      KEXEC KEXEC_FILE KEXEC_SIG KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
      KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG KEXEC_JUMP CRASH_DUMP
  - These items from arch/arm64/Kconfig form the common options:
      KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
  - The crash hotplug series appends CRASH_HOTPLUG to Kconfig.kexec
- The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
  and is now listed in "General Setup" submenu from init/Kconfig.
- To control the common options, each has a new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>
  option. These gateway options determine whether the common options
  options are valid for the architecture.
- To account for the slight differences in the original architecture
  coding of the common options, each now has a corresponding
  ARCH_SELECTS_<option> which are used to elicit the same side effects
  as the original arch/<arch>/Kconfig files for KEXEC and CRASH options.

An example, 'make menuconfig' illustrating the submenu:

  > General setup > Kexec and crash features
  [*] Enable kexec system call
  [*] Enable kexec file based system call
  [*]   Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall
  [ ]     Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall
  [ ]     Enable bzImage signature verification support
  [*] kexec jump
  [*] kernel crash dumps
  [*]   Update the crash elfcorehdr on system configuration changes

In the process of consolidating the common options, I encountered
slight differences in the coding of these options in several of the
architectures. As a result, I settled on the following solution:

- Each of the common options has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>'
  statement. For example, the KEXEC_FILE option has a 'depends on
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE' statement.

  This approach is needed on all common options so as to prevent
  options from appearing for architectures which previously did
  not allow/enable them. For example, arm supports KEXEC but not
  KEXEC_FILE. The arch/arm/Kconfig does not provide
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE and so KEXEC_FILE and related options
  are not available to arm.

- The boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> in effect allows the arch to
  determine when the feature is allowed.  Archs which don't have the
  feature simply do not provide the corresponding ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>.
  For each arch, where there previously were KEXEC and/or CRASH
  options, these have been replaced with the corresponding boolean
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>, and an appropriate def_bool statement.

  For example, if the arch supports KEXEC_FILE, then the
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE simply has a 'def_bool y'. This permits
  the KEXEC_FILE option to be available.

  If the arch has a 'depends on' statement in its original coding
  of the option, then that expression becomes part of the def_bool
  expression. For example, arm64 had:

  config KEXEC
    depends on PM_SLEEP_SMP

  and in this solution, this converts to:

  config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
    def_bool PM_SLEEP_SMP


- In order to account for the architecture differences in the
  coding for the common options, the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> in the
  arch/<arch>/Kconfig is used. This option has a 'depends on
  <option>' statement to couple it to the main option, and from
  there can insert the differences from the common option and the
  arch original coding of that option.

  For example, a few archs enable CRYPTO and CRYTPO_SHA256 for
  KEXEC_FILE. These require a ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE and
  'select CRYPTO' and 'select CRYPTO_SHA256' statements.

Illustrating the option relationships:

For each of the common KEXEC and CRASH options:
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> <- <option> <- ARCH_SELECTS_<option>

 <option>                   # in Kconfig.kexec
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>     # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
 ARCH_SELECTS_<option>      # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed


For example, KEXEC:
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC <- KEXEC <- ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC

 KEXEC                      # in Kconfig.kexec
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC        # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
 ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC         # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed


To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

Testing Approach and Results

There are 388 config files in the arch/<arch>/configs directories.
For each of these config files, a .config is generated both before and
after this Kconfig series, and checked for equivalence. This approach
allows for a rather rapid check of all architectures and a wide
variety of configs wrt/ KEXEC and CRASH, and avoids requiring
compiling for all architectures and running kernels and run-time
testing.

For each config file, the olddefconfig, allnoconfig and allyesconfig
targets are utilized. In testing the randconfig has revealed problems
as well, but is not used in the before and after equivalence check
since one can not generate the "same" .config for before and after,
even if using the same KCONFIG_SEED since the option list is
different.

As such, the following script steps compare the before and after
of 'make olddefconfig'. The new symbols introduced by this series
are filtered out, but otherwise the config files are PASS only if
they were equivalent, and FAIL otherwise.

The script performs the test by doing the following:

 # Obtain the "golden" .config output for given config file
 # Reset test sandbox
 git checkout master
 git branch -D test_Kconfig
 git checkout -B test_Kconfig master
 make distclean
 # Write out updated config
 cp -f <config file> .config
 make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
 # Track each item in .config, LHSB is "golden"
 scoreboard .config 

 # Obtain the "changed" .config output for given config file
 # Reset test sandbox
 make distclean
 # Apply this Kconfig series
 git am <this Kconfig series>
 # Write out updated config
 cp -f <config file> .config
 make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
 # Track each item in .config, RHSB is "changed"
 scoreboard .config 

 # Determine test result
 # Filter-out new symbols introduced by this series
 # Filter-out symbol=n which not in either scoreboard
 # Compare LHSB "golden" and RHSB "changed" scoreboards and issue PASS/FAIL

The script was instrumental during the refactoring of Kconfig as it
continually revealed problems. The end result being that the solution
presented in this series passes all configs as checked by the script,
with the following exceptions:

- arch/ia64/configs/zx1_config with olddefconfig
  This config file has:
  # CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
  CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
  and this refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not
  possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC.

- arch/sh/configs/* with allyesconfig
  The arch/sh/Kconfig codes CRASH_DUMP as dependent upon BROKEN_ON_MMU
  (which clearly is not meant to be set). This symbol is not provided
  but with the allyesconfig it is set to yes which enables CRASH_DUMP.
  But KEXEC is coded as dependent upon MMU, and is set to no in
  arch/sh/mm/Kconfig, so KEXEC is not enabled.
  This refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not
  possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC.

While the above exceptions are not equivalent to their original,
the config file produced is valid (and in fact better wrt/ CRASH_DUMP
handling).


This patch (of 14)

The config options for kexec and crash features are consolidated
into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Under the "General Setup" submenu
is a new submenu "Kexec and crash handling". All the kexec and
crash options that were once in the arch-dependent submenu "Processor
type and features" are now consolidated in the new submenu.

The following options are impacted:

 - KEXEC
 - KEXEC_FILE
 - KEXEC_SIG
 - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
 - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
 - KEXEC_JUMP
 - CRASH_DUMP

The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP.

Architectures specify support of certain KEXEC and CRASH features with
similarly named new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> config options.

Architectures can utilize the new ARCH_SELECTS_<option> config
options to specify additional components when <option> is enabled.

To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).
