Decouple memfd preservation support from the core Live Update Orchestrator configuration. Previously, enabling CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE forced a dependency on CONFIG_SHMEM and unconditionally compiled memfd_luo.o. However, Live Update may be used for purposes that do not require memfd-backed memory preservation. Introduce CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE_MEMFD to gate memfd_luo.o. This moves the SHMEM and MEMFD_CREATE dependencies to the specific feature that needs them, allowing the base LIVEUPDATE option to be selected independently of shared memory support.

Allow kexec to hand over state across kernels by generating and
|
|
passing additional metadata to the target kernel. This is useful
|
|
to keep data or state alive across the kexec. For this to work,
|

both source and target kernels need to have this option enabled.

This option enables extra sanity checks for the Kexec Handover
|
|
subsystem. Since, KHO performance is crucial in live update
|
|
scenarios and the extra code might be adding overhead it is

only optionally enabled.

help
|
|
Enable Kexec Handover by default. This avoids the need to
|
|
explicitly pass 'kho=on' on the kernel command line.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for systems where KHO is a prerequisite for other
|
|
features, such as Live Update, ensuring the mechanism is always
|
|
active.
|
|
|
|
The default behavior can still be overridden at boot time by
|
|
passing 'kho=off'.

help
|
|
Enable the Live Update Orchestrator. Live Update is a mechanism,
|
|
typically based on kexec, that allows the kernel to be updated
|
|
while keeping selected devices operational across the transition.
|
|
These devices are intended to be reclaimed by the new kernel and
|
|
re-attached to their original workload without requiring a device
|
|
reset.
|
|
|
|
Ability to handover a device from current to the next kernel depends
|
|
on specific support within device drivers and related kernel
|
|
subsystems.
|
|
|
|
This feature primarily targets virtual machine hosts to quickly update
|
|
the kernel hypervisor with minimal disruption to the running virtual
|
|
machines.

If unsure, say N.

Enable live update support for memfd regions. This allows preserving
|
|
memfd-backed memory across kernel live updates.
|
|
|
|
This can be used to back VM memory with memfds, allowing the guest
|
|
memory to persist, or for other user workloads needing to preserve
|
|
pages.

If unsure, say N.
