This partially reverts commit 6dee286467.
There are reports that NFSv3 is failing after this commit, and after
more debug, I found NFSv4 may not work properly if
"nfs4_disable_idmapping" is set to 0.
The cause of the failure is that kdump.sh runs after dracut's pre-pivot
and clean up hook, many dracut module will install hooks to kill some
running services, so if the dump target requires a service to be running
but it's killed, mount will fail.
Dracut ensures the configured mount points are ready before pre-pivot.
After pre-pivot, any further mounting operation may not work as expected.
Although there is no report of other type of dump target failure except
NFSv3, it's better to revert this, to avoid other potential risk, and wait
for a proper fix for that systemd/kernel issue.
Else, this may bring more trouble for further development.
But still keep the change in kdump-lib-initramfs.sh for better
robustness.

In most cases, it always provides a persistent MAC address. But for
the s390 Arch, sometimes, kernel could run in the LPAR mode and it
doesn't provide a persistent MAC address, which caused the kdump
failure.
Currently, some rules rely on the persistent MAC address, for the
above case, which won't work in kdump kernel because non-persistent
MAC could not match with udev rules.
To fix this issue, need to add a new option 'rd.znet_ifname' in order
to provide extra parameters such as 'ifname' and 'subchannels' for
some rules, which ensures kdump can also work appropriately without
the persistent MAC. Please refer to the following commit in dracut:

Since commit 6dee286467 ("Don't mount the dump target unless needed"),
dump_fs function unmounts the dump target just after saving vmcore.
This broke the condition that it's mounted when executing "kdump_post",
which had been stable since RHEL5, and a certain tool which uses the
kdump_post hook to save information of 2nd kernel to the dump target
started to fail.
As unmounting it is done by systemd-shutdown before reboot without
the umount command as below, so let's don't unmount it in dump_fs.

If user configured target is used, path should be used as the absolute
path within the dump target direct, and user should be fully aware of
the path structure within the target device. The adjust_bind_mount_path
call here make it very hard to control the behavior.
Especially, if it's a cross device bind mount, this will likely create a
invalid path in the target. And for atomic case, adjust_bind_mount_path call
here assumes user will always pass root device as the explicitly configured
dump target, which is not true.
If user configured target device is used, the path is always be the
absolute path inside of given target. If user don't know about the path
structure in the target device, then user should either use the path
based config, or carefully exam the target device before using it as a

For user specified target, the config value is used as the dump target,
and SAVE_PATH (path in kdump.conf) value is used as the dump path within
the dump target, no need to do anything extra with the path value.
Current code logic is not only complicated, it also wrongly generate
an redundantly long path in atomic/silverblue environment.
The right way is only check two things, and do nothing else:
1. The path exists within the target;
2. The target is large enough to hold to contain the vmcore.
Currently checking the target still requires it to be mounted so it will
error out if it's not mounted. Will implement some auto mount as next

[PATCH] Introduce --check-params option
Currently it's difficult to check whether a makedumpfile command-line
is valid or not without an actual panic. This is inefficient and if
a wrong configuration is not tested, you will miss the vmcore when an
actual panic occurs.
In order for kdump facilities like kexec-tools to be able to check
the specified command-line parameters in advance, introduce the
--check-params option that only checks them and exits immediately.

UEFI Secure boot is a signature verification mechanism, designed to
prevent malicious code being loaded and executed at the early boot
stage. This makes sure that code executed is trusted by firmware.
Previously, with kexec_file_load() interface, kernel prevents unsigned
kernel image from being loaded if secure boot is enabled. So kdump will
detect whether secure boot is enabled firstly, then decide which interface
is chosen to execute, kexec_load() or kexec_file_load(). Otherwise unsigned
kernel loading will fail if secure boot enabled, and kexec_file_load() is
entered.
Now, the implementation of kexec_file_load() is adjusted in below commit.
With this change, if CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG_FORCE is not set, unsigned kernel
still has a chance to be allowed to load under some conditions.
commit 99d5cadfde2b ("kexec_file: split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG
and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE")
And in the current Fedora, the CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG_FORCE is not set, only the
CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG and CONFIG_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG are set on x86_64 by default.
It's time to spread kexec_file_load() onto all systems of x86_64, including
Secure-boot platforms and legacy platforms. Please refer to the following
form.

Note:
[1] The 'X' indicates that the 1st kernel(unsigned) can not boot when the

Currently, reboot/shutdown/halt is called by either by executing

Previously dracut_args is stored as an array in the shell code,
so we can just pass this array as argument to dracut.
But when trying to append new dracut argument, we have to manually
handle the quotes and spaces to ensure the appended argument is
splitted into array elements in the right way.
This is complex and hard to read or maintain. Instead, just store the
dracut_args as a plain string, and let xargs help parse it and call
dracut.
Simply passing $dracut_args or "$dracut_args" will either let dracut
consider the whole string as a single argument, or loss all the
quotes. xargs can handle it well and cover more corner cases.
Eg. one corner case before, if we have:
dracut_args --mount "/dev/sda1 /mnt/test xfs rw"
Kdump will fail, because the function add_dracut_arg() will wrongly
change the arguments into: (Notice the extra space.)
dracut_args --mount " /dev/sda1 /mnt/test xfs rw"
Instead of fixing it just use xargs instead. Tested with above config
and multiple other dracut_args values.

By default kernel have vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 0 and large page
allocation might fail as kernel is very conservative on memory
reclaiming. If the page allocation failure is not handled carefully
it could lead to more serious problems.
This issue can be reproduced by change with following steps:
- Fill up page cache use:
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/test bs=1M count=1300
- Now the memory is filled with write cache:
# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 1790 184 132 2 1473 1348
Swap: 2119 7 2112
- Insert a module which simply calls "kmalloc(SZ_1M, GFP_KERNEL)" for
512 times: (Notice: vmalloc don't have such problem)
# insmod debug_module.ko
- Got following allocation failure:
insmod: page allocation failure: order:8, mode:0x40cc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
- Clean up and repeat again with vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 3, OOM is not
observed.
In kdump kernel there is usually only one online CPU and limited memory,
so we set vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 3 to let kernel reclaim memory more
aggresively to avoid such issue.
