I don't think we should disable CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE. I would be fine with disabling CONFIG_KEXEC, however, since it cannot and will not ever support signature verification.

@allenpais ping on this. CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE still needs to be enabled for kexec support. We only want to disable CONFIG_KEXEC.

@allenpais I was hoping we could disable all but perhaps one of the |
As suggested by Tyler: Keep CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE enabled. Remove unused CONFIG_RD_* configs. Signed-off-by: Allen Pais <apais@linux.microsoft.com>

@tyhicks Thanks for taking the time out to review. I have addressed your feedback. There will probably be one or two more commits that will go in. I should have it pushed soon. |

I was able to cherry-pick a majority of these changes onto a test branch and build a test azl3 RPM!
- created new branch off of 6.6.29.1 upgrade PR
- cherry-picked the 2 commits from this PR (required a small git merge to match 6.6.29.1)
- updated the spec and configs to match Azure Linux toolchain for 3.0
- Built the rpm :) (pipeline run)
It will not properly make an initramfs at the moment because dracut explicitly expects xen modules. We can/should change dracut from relying on xen but this along with the kernel config xen changes should be its own PR

this is a detail of the toolchain you ran make on; we can safely revert this section to its original 3.0-dev values.

We are simultaneously trying to figure out the set of kernel modules to include in our initramfs. Dracut is rather pedantic about this; I'm pretty sure it'll complain if a module stops existing (even if it is built-in).
Right, we are currently in the middle of a rework to the set of kernel modules needed by dracut which we will have to sync with this change: #9144 |

Build in configs that are called and used during the WSL2 boot. NF/NFT/NETLINK configs are required for when mirrored networking is enabled. DXGKRNL creates /dev/dxg device, when vGPU is available. Driver is not called by applications unless the /dev/dxg already exists. Signed-off-by: Kelsey Steele <kelseysteele@microsoft.com>
