ppc64: purgatory: Handle local symbols in ELF ABIv2
The PowerPC64 ELF ABIv2 has the concept of global and local symbols
and information on this is encoded in sym->st_other. When doing a
R_PPC64_REL24 branch we want to hit the local entry point, so adjust
it as necessary.

Pass struct mem_sym into machine_apply_elf_rel()
On PowerPC64 ABIv2 we need to look at the symbol to determine
if it has a local entry point. Pass struct mem_sym into
machine_apply_elf_rel() so we can.

In latest rawhide kdump kernel reboot hangs because systemd reports a
conflict when kdump calls reboot during booting. Need further investigation
about the new systemd behavior.
Here is the error message copied from kdump session:
[snip]
kdump: saving vmcore complete
Failed to start reboot.target: Transaction contains conflicting jobs 'stop' and 'start' for shutdown.target. Probably contradicting requirement dependencies configured.
Failed to talk to init daemon.
[FAILED] Failed to start Kdump Vmcore Save Service.
[snip]
We previouly use "reboot -f" but later we changed to reboot because we want
systemd to take care of the shutdown path, mainly for umount filesystems.
Change back to "reboot -f" works but we still need umount by ourselves.
During my tests with "reboot -f" I get below dirty ext2 filesystem:
[root@localhost ~]# fsck /dev/vdb
fsck from util-linux 2.27
e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
/dev/vdb was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
Actually "reboot -f" equals to "systemctl reboot -f -f"
systemctl manpage says "-f" and "-f -f" means different behavior:
When use -f with reboot, will execute reboot without shutting down all units.
However all processes will be killed forcibly and all file systems are
unmounted or remounted read-only. If -f is specified twice, will reboot
immediately without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems.
Thus change to use "systemctl reboot -f" for our reboot actions. It can fix
the problem and at the same time it can ensure filesystems are umounted before
rebooting.
OTOH, a systemd changes cause the breakage, it may be a system service new
design, Later I can dig into systemd changes see which commit cause the
breakage.

Use KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_REMOVE config instead of hardcode them in
kdumpctl, which makes it possible system admins decide what params to
remove such as "quiet" or other debug flags.
This patch also adds backward compatibility even if an old config is
used. It will behave the same as the old version.

For arches we do not exlictly support, kdumpctl will fail with errors because
kernel can not be found. It is caused by there's no proper KDUMP_IMG prefix
so kernel image can not be found.
Kexec/kdump functionality may simply work, so let's add those prefix in
default sysconfig file thus one can test and use kexec/kdump in Fedora.

Don't put options after the %end of the %addon section
Otherwise the installation describing kickstart will not be valid.
This can resulting in various issues such, as Initial Setup refusing
to run due to invalid kickstart file.
slub_debug parameter enables debug for slub, making each object take
more memory than normal. During a typical kdump, "slub_debug=FZPU" will
cost about 33MB additional memory. If users really want to enable this
parameter, they should specify it in KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND.

Ifcfg depends on network module, which is quite large and useless
when using a local dump target. Also we don't really need ifcfg to
setup network interfaces. So just remove it.
On fedora22, the uncompressed dumprd would decrease about 20MB when
using a local dump target. A regression testing is also conducted with
targets of nfs and ssh.

Dracut will die in the situation that dracut detects to use dhcp to
setup ip address, but kdump passes the ip address to it.
In commit 7ea50dc7a3, we start to use
option permanent to get the ip address in kdump_static_ip. If the
network is setuped by static, we will get the ip address, otherwise
getting none.
In commit c994a80698 which it used to
support ipv6 protocol, I miss the option permanent.
This patch is not a fixing patch, just pulls back something to make
kdump work as original.

Moving isys.total_memory() call to class method to avoid installation hangs.
It is possible because totoal_memory will call log.info which need log lock.
but some loging function need import gettext module which need import lock.
Thus deadlock could happen.
Moved isys.total_memory callback to class method instead.
Due to the different format between ipv4 and ipv6 protocol, quote the
ipv6 address with bracket "[]" to make dracut notify.

Kdump will parse the hostname to get the ip address, if hostname is
specfied in /etc/kdump.conf. We will get the ip address(ipv4 or ipv6,
according to the DNS server) by using "getent hosts".
For now, it is more reasonable that we shall get all of the ip
address(including ipv4 and ipv6 address) which point to the hostname by
using "getent ahosts". And we will prefer to use the ipv4 address, if
both ipv4 and ipv6 address work.
The reason why we choose the ipv4 as preferred address is to solve the
issue kdump will fail to connect the hostname machine(parsed as ipv6
address), due to the DNS server is ipv4 address in 2nd kernel.

Previously, Kdump will save route to setup the network route in the 2nd
kernel for ipv4 protocol. To support ipv6 protocol, make Kdump fetch
correct nexthop, since the ruturning format is different.
In order to enhance kdump to support ipv6, support the static ip for
ipv6 protocol, which ipv4 has supported already.
Introduce a new lib function get_remote_host which is used to factor out
the ip address(ipv4 or ipv6) and hostname in /etc/kdump.conf.
Introduce a new lib function is_ipv6_address which is used to make sure
whether the passed ip address is ipv4 or ipv6.
Introduce a new lib function is_hostname which is used to confirm
whether the passed parameter is hostname, not the ip address.
Introduce a new function get_ip_route_field which is used to factor out
the specified string in ip route info.
Due to the different format between ipv4 and ipv6 protocol, quote the
ipv6 address with bracket "[]" to make dracut notify.

For now, Kdump will use ipv4 address as dump directory, and it works, if
ipv4 is enabled.
Once Kdump start to support ipv6 protocol, we may only setup the ipv6
address exclusively. Modify the code to make Kdump work in either ipv4
and ipv6 protocol.

Now Kdump will ingore the DNS config in /etc/resolv.conf, when it
generates the initram. And most users do not concern about this issue,
because they never use deployment tools to configure machines
environment, like puppet.
It is more convenient to add the DNS config to /etc/resolv.conf for
people who use deployment tools to configure machines concurrently.

We have added *wdt in kdump initramfs, but to improve it more we can do below
(1) load wdt drivers as early as possible so that we can save time before wdt timeout
some drivers like iTCO_wdt can stop the watchdog while driver initialization, so
it can give more chance for kdump.
It can save time especially in case some drivers take long time to init, like
some storage and networking cards.
(2) add only used wdt drivers in kdump initrd instead of add *wdt
wdt driver layer need a change so that we can get the proper driver name from
/dev/watchdog. Question to this is are we sure 1st kernel use /dev/watchdog
instead of /dev/watchdog1? It need more investigation.
(3) in case a driver can not stop (nowayout?) during module_init, we need load it
as early as possible and kick the watchdog. Likely we can use systemd default
watchdog functionality.
This patch is about to address (1), and specially for iTCO_wdt, we only tested
iTCO_wdt, thus in this patch only add this driver, need investigate on other drivers
later to see if other drivers works in this way.

According to man page, default option can only use reboot, halt, poweroff,
shell and dump_to_rootfs as parameter.
Currently, if configuration kdump.conf is:
------
path /var/crash
core_collector makedumpfile -nosuchfile
default no_such_option
------
kdump service still can be started.
Adding function "check_default_config" to kdumpctl file can solve
this problem.
I have tested this patch in my test machine(Fedora-21).
v1 --> v2
Baoquan He point "check_default_config" function should be call in
"check_config" function.
