So it will be like below? problem is KEXEC_FILE is x86 only now, how to handle it then? arch/Kconfig: config ARCH_HAS_KEXEC ... config KEXEC_CORE ... config KEXEC ... config KEXEC_FILE ... arch/arm/Kconfig: select ARCH_HAS_KEXEC > > > How about simply move below chunk to arch/Kconfig instead of introducing > > another ARCH_HAS_KEXEC: > > config KEXEC_CORE > > bool > > Not all architectures support kexec, hence my proposed dependency on > ARCH_HAS_KEXEC. KEXEC_CORE is not visible in menuconfig, it is selected by KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE so move it in arch/Kconfig is ok? > > Gr{oetje,eeting}s, > > Geert > > -- > Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@linux-m68k.org > > In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
