[PATCH v2] efi/x86: Ensure that EFI_RUNTIME_MAP is enabled for kexec
From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Wed Aug 02 2023 - 11:24:08 EST
CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_MAP needs to be enabled in order for kexec to be able
to provide the required information about the EFI runtime mappings to
the incoming kernel, regardless of whether kexec_load() or
kexec_file_load() is being used. Without this information, kexec boot in
EFI mode is not possible.
The CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_MAP option is currently directly configurable if
CONFIG_EXPERT is enabled, so that it can be turned on for debugging
purposes even if KEXEC is. However, the upshot of this is that it can
also be disabled even when it shouldn't.
So tweak the Kconfig declarations to avoid this situation.
