e9e6a2c745 kdumpctl: Add kdumpctl estimate
Add a rough esitimation support, currently, following memory usage are
checked by this sub command:

- System RAM
- Kdump Initramfs size
- Kdump Kernel image size
- Kdump Kernel module size
- Kdump userspace user and other runtime allocated memory (currently
  simply using a fixed value: 64M)
- LUKS encryption memory usage

The output of kdumpctl estimate looks like this:
  # kdumpctl estimate
  Reserved crashkernel:    256M
  Recommanded crashkernel: 160M

  Kernel image size:   47M
  Kernel modules size: 12M
  Initramfs size:      19M
  Runtime reservation: 64M
  Large modules:
      xfs: 1892352
      nouveau: 2318336

And if the kdump target is encrypted:
  # kdumpctl estimate
  Encrypted kdump target requires extra memory, assuming using the keyslot with minimun memory requirement

  Reserved crashkernel:    256M
  Recommanded crashkernel: 655M

  Kernel image size:   47M
  Kernel modules size: 12M
  Initramfs size:      19M
  Runtime reservation: 64M
  LUKS required size:  512M
  Large modules:
      xfs: 1892352
      nouveau: 2318336
  WARNING: Current crashkernel size is lower than recommanded size 655M.

The "Recommanded" value is calculated based on memory usages mentioned
above, and will be adjusted accodingly to be no less than the value provided
by kdump_get_arch_recommend_size.

02202aa70f logger: source the logger file individually
Sourcing logger file in kdump-lib.sh will leak kdump helper to dracut,
because module-setup.sh will source kdump-lib.sh. This will make kdump's
function override dracut's ones, and lead to unexpected behaviours.

So include kdump-logger.sh individually and only source it where it really
needed. for module-setup.sh, simply use dracut's logger helper is good
enough so just source kdump-logger.sh in kdump only scripts.

08276e9f7a Rework check_config and warn on any duplicated option
Instead of read and parse the kdump.conf multiple times, only read once
and use a single loop to handle the error check, which is faster.

Also check for any duplicated config otion, and error out if there are
duplicated ones.

Now it checks for following errors, most are unchanged from before:
 - Any duplicated config options. (New added)
 - Deprecated/Invalid kdump config option.
 - Duplicated kdump target, will have a different error message of
   other duplicated config options.
 - Duplicated --mount options in dracut_args.
 - Empty config values. All kdump configs should be in
   "<config_opt> <config_value>" format.
 - Check If raw target is used in fadump mode.

And removed detect of lines start with space, it will not break kdump
anyway.

The performance is measurable better than before for the check_config
function.

a37f36ad4d Refactor kernel image and initrd detection code
kernel installation is not always in a fixed location /boot, there are
multiple different style of kernel installation, and initramfs location
changes with kernel. The two files should be detected together and adapt
to different style.

To do so we use a list of known installation destinations, and a list
of possible kernel image and initrd names. Iterate the two list to
detect the installation location of the two files. If GRUB is in use,
the BOOT_IMAGE= cmdline from GRUB will also be considered. And also
prefers user specified config if given.

Previous atomic workaround is no longer needed as the new detection
method can cover that case.

6a20bd5447 kdump-lib: switch to the kexec_file_load() syscall on x86_64 by default
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.

0a9aabaadd kdumpctl: make reload fail proof
When large amount of memory, about 1TB, is removed with DLPAR memory
remove operation, kdump reload could fail due to race condition with
device tree property update. In such scenario, the subsequent kdump
reload requests would also fail as reload() only proceeds if current
load status is active. Since the possibility of this race condition
couldn't be wished away due to the nature of the scenario, workaround
it by proceeding to load even if current load status is not active as
long as kdump service is active, which kdump udev rules already check
for.

680c0d3414 kdumpctl: distinguish the failed reason of ssh
On a host with ipaddr not ready before kdump service, ssh return errno 255.
While if no ssh-key, ssh also return errno 255. For both of cases, the
current kdump code promote user to run 'kdumpctl propagate'. This confuses
user who already installs ssh-key.

In order to tell these two cases from each other, the ssh warning message
should be involved, and parsed.

For the no ssh-key case , warning message is "Permission denied" or "No
such file or directory". For the other, warning message is "Network
Unreachable"

c1a06343df kdumpctl: wait a while for network ready if dump target is ssh
If dump target is ipv6 address, a host should have ipv6 address ready
before starting kdump service. Otherwise, kdump service fails to start due
to the failure "ssh dump_server_ip mkdir -p $SAVE_PATH".
And user can see message like:
 "Could not create root@2620:52:0:10da:46a8:42ff:fe23:3272/var/crash"

I observe a long period (about 30s) on some machine before they got ipv6
address dynamiclly, which is never seen on ipv4 host.

Hence kdump service has a dependency on ipv6 address. But there is no good
way to resolve it. One way is asking user to run the cmd "nmcli connection
modify eth0 ipv6.may-fail false". But this will block systemd until ipv6
address is ready. Despite doing so, kdump can try its best (wait 1 minutes
after it starts up) before failure.

How to implement the wait is arguable. It will involve too many technique
details if explicitly waiting on ipv6 address, instead, just lean on 'ssh'
return value to see the availability of network.

43c26b7312 kdumpctl: Check kdump.conf for error when rebuild is called
Although "kdumpctl rebuild" is introduced to help user rebuild the
initramfs without modifying the kdump.conf, if the kdump.conf is
modified and "kdumpctl rebuild" is called, a initramfs with a faulty
kdump.conf will be built.

Kdump will refuse to load the initramfs when restarted, but kdumpctl
reload may load the faulty initramfs. So need to make sure the faulty
build won't be generate in the first place.

Check for kdump.conf error before building the initramfs to ensure such
failure won't happen.

2efc0f1854 kdumpctl: don't always rebuild when extra_modules is set
We don't necessarily have to always rebuild the initramfs when
extra_modules is set. Instead, just detect if any module is updated,
and only rebuild initramfs if found any updated kernel module.

Tested with in-tree kernel modules, out-of-tree kernel modules, weak
modules, all worked as expected.

30913fd667 kdumpctl: follow symlink when checking for modified files
Previously only the symlink's timestamp is used for checking if file are
modified, this will not trigger a rebuild if the symlink target it
modified.

So check both symlink timestamp and symlink target timestamp, rebuild
the initramfs on both symlink changed and target changed.

Also give a proper error message if the file doesn't exist.

75d9132417 Get rid of duplicated strip_comments when reading config
When reading kdump configs, a single parsing should be enough and this
saves a lot of duplicated striping call which speed up the total load
speed.

Speed up about 2 second when building and 0.1 second for reload in my
tests.

9529191d95 earlykdump: provide a prompt message after the rebuilding of kdump initramfs.
Early kdump inherits the settings of normal kdump, so any changes that
caused normal kdump rebuilding also require rebuilding the system initramfs
to make sure that the changes take effect for early kdump.

Therefore, when the early kdump is enabled, provide a prompt message after
the rebuilding of kdump initramfs is completed.

1c1159a586 kdumpctl: Detect block device driver change for initramfs rebuild
Previous we rebuild the initramfs when kenrel load module list changed,
but this is not very stable as some async services may load/unload
kernel modules, and cause unnecessary initramfs rebuild.

Instead, it's better to just check if the module required to dump to
the dump target is loaded or not, and rebuild if not loaded. This
avoids most false-positives, and ensure local target change is always
covered.

Currently only local fs dump target is covered, because this check
requires the dump target to be mounted when building the initramfs,
this guarantee that the module is in the loaded kernel module list,
else we may still get some false positive.

dracut-install could be leveraged to combine the modalias list with
kernel loaded module list as a more stable module list in the initramfs,
but upstream dracut change need to be done first.

Passed test on a KVM VM, changing the storage between SATA/USB/VirtIO
will trigger initramfs rebuild and didn't notice any false-positive.
Also passed test on my laptop with no false-positive.

09f50350d9 Revert "kdumpctl: Rebuild initramfs if loaded kernel modules changed"
This reverts commit 6b479b6572.

Check initramfs rebuild by looking at if there is any change of load
kernel modules list is not very stable after all. Previously we are
counting on udev to settle before kdump is started to ensure all modules
is ready, but actually any service may cause a kernel module load, even
after udev is settled.

The previous commit is trying to workaround an issue that VM created
with disk snapshot may fail in the kdump initramfs. The better fix is to
not include the kdump initramfs in the disk snapshot at all, as the
kdump initramfs is not generated for a generic use. And With new added
"kdumpctl reload" command, admins could rebuild the image easily, and
should rebuild the initramfs on hardware change manually.

da6b75f59b fadump: use the original initrd to rebuild fadump initrdfrom
The idea behind adding support for dracut '--rebuild' option was to
ensure the initrd built for fadump takes into consideration all the
build parameters passed to original initrd. Pass original initrd
instead of current default initrd for rebuild as current initrd
might already have build parameters from original initrd along
with parameters from previous fadump intird build making the
build parameters look like this after a few iterations:

-H --persistent-policy 'by-uuid' -f --quiet --hostonly --hostonly-
cmdline --hostonly-i18n --hostonly-mode 'strict' -o 'plymouth dash
resume ifcfg' --mount '/dev/mapper/rhel_zzfp219--lp3-home /kdumproot
//home xfs defaults' -f --kver '4.18.0-60.el8.ppc64le' --quiet
--hostonly --hostonly-cmdline --hostonly-i18n --hostonly-mode 'strict'
-o 'plymouth dash resume ifcfg' --mount '/dev/mapper/rhel_zzfp219--lp3-home
/kdumproot//home xfs defaults' -f --kver '4.18.0-60.el8.ppc64le' --quiet
--hostonly --hostonly-cmdline --hostonly-i18n --hostonly-mode 'strict'
-o 'plymouth dash resume ifcfg' --mount '/dev/mapper/rhel_zzfp219--lp3-home
/kdumproot//home xfs defaults' -f --kver '4.18.0-60.el8.ppc64le' --include
'/tmp/fadump.initramfs' '/etc/fadump.initramfs' --include
'/tmp/fadump.initramfs' '/etc/fadump.initramfs' --include
'/tmp/fadump.initramfs' '/etc/fadump.initramfs'
--

Since it is not desirable to build initrd with stale and/or  duplicate
build parameters, use original initrd (backed up) to rebuild fadump
initrd, instead of current default initrd.

242da37c58 Add final_action option to kdump.conf
If a crash occurs repeatedly after enabling kdump, the system goes
into a crash loop and the dump target may get filled up by vmcores.
This is likely especially with early kdump.

This patch introduces 'final_action' option to kdump.conf, in order
for users to be able to power off the system even after capturing
a vmcore successfully.

In preparation for adding 'final_action' option, since it's confusing
to have the 'final_action' and 'default' options at the same time,
this patch introduces 'failure_action' as an alias of the 'default'
option to /etc/kdump.conf, and makes 'default' obsolete to be removed
in the future.

Also, the "default action" term is renamed to "failure action".

b34ce3a7b4 kdumpctl: Add reload support
Add reload support to kdumpctl, reload will simply unload current
loaded kexec crash kernel and initramfs, and load it again.

Changes in /etc/sysconfig/kdump will take effect with kdumpctl
reload, but reloading will not check the content of
/etc/kdump.conf and won't rebuild anything. reload is fast, the only
time-consuming part of kdumpctl reload is loading kernel and initramfs
with kexec which is always necessary.
