Subject: [PATCH 5/5] crash: clean up CRASH_DUMP

From: Baoquan He <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2024 18:33:05 +0800

By splitting CRASH_CORE into CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO, and cleaning
up the dependency of FA_DMUMP on CRASH_DUMP, now we can rearrange CRASH_DUMP
to depend on KEXEC_CORE, and select CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO.

KEXEC_CORE won't select CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO any more because
KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are shared
by both kexec_load and kexec_file_load, and by both kexec reboot and
kdump.

Doing this to make codes and the corresponding config items more
logical.

PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO

           |----------> VMCORE_INFO
FA_DUMP----|
           |----------> CRASH_RESERVE

                                                ---->VMCORE_INFO
                                               /
                                               |---->CRASH_RESERVE
KEXEC      --|                                /|
             |--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE
KEXEC_FILE --|                               \ |
                                               \---->CRASH_HOTPLUG

KEXEC      --|
             |--> KEXEC_CORE--> kexec reboot
KEXEC_FILE --|

Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't
be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items. With
the prepartory patches and chaneg at above, the LKP reported issue can
be solved now.
