The kexec and crash kernel options are provided in the common
kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Utilize the common options and provide
the ARCH_SUPPORTS_ and ARCH_SELECTS_ entries to recreate the
equivalent set of KEXEC and CRASH options.

Why do you need to duplicate the ARCH_SELECTS_ entries in each 
architecture ?

Why not define them in arch/Kconfig then select if from each architecture ?

For instance here for x86 for ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE all you'll have to 
do is:
	select ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE if KEXEC_FILE
	select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA && KEXEC_FILE

Hi Christophe, thanks for looking at this!
The ARCH_SELECTS_ is where the "customization" is performed for that option. The customization is 
putting in place the differences that the arch had from the common option.

For example, with ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE, here are all the uses:

x86:
     select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA

arm64:
     select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA

powerpc:
     select KEXEC_ELF
     select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA

riscv:
     select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA
     select KEXEC_ELF

And there are archs (parisc, riscv, s390) that support KEXEC_FILE that do not need 
ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE.

So there isn't a clear path for optimizing the IMA statement, in this example, that I'm aware of.

But perhaps I don't quite understand the technique you are suggesting, either...
