[PATCH 10/10] Kconfig: regularize selection of CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF

From: Al Viro
Date: Thu Dec 03 2020 - 16:48:23 EST


From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

with mips converted to use of fs/config_binfmt_elf.c, there's no
need to keep selects of that thing all over arch/* - we can simply
turn into def_bool y if COMPAT && BINFMT_ELF (in fs/Kconfig.binfmt)
and get rid of all selects.

Several architectures got those selects wrong (e.g. you could
end up with sparc64 sans BINFMT_ELF, with select violating
dependencies, or with amd64 with X32 and BINFMT_ELF enabled,
but unable to exec any X32 binaries), etc.

Randy Dunlap has spotted some of those; IMO this is simpler than
his fix, but it depends upon the stuff that would need to be
backported, so we might end up using his variant for -stable.
