Packaging guidelines have been amended to not require systemd for scriptlets,
see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/#_scriptlets.
The comment duplicates what the macro contains.
systemd-sysv-convert binary was removed in 2013, trying to call it is
unlikely to succeed.
chkconfig binary is provided by the chkconfig package, which is not in
Requires. (And makes little sense to call nowadays anyway.)
To track and manage kernel's crashkernel usage by kernel version,
each kernel package will include a crashkernel.default containing the
default `crashkernel=` value of that kernel. So we can use a hook to
update the kernel cmdline of new installed kernel accordingly.
Put it after all other grub boot loader setup hooks, so it can simply
call grubby to modify the kernel cmdline.

In case of fadump, the initramfs image has to be built to boot into
the production environment as well as to offload the active crash dump
to the specified dump target (for boot after crash). As the same image
would be used for both boot scenarios, it could not be built optimally
while accommodating both cases.
Use --include to include the initramfs image built for offloading
active crash dump to the specified dump target. Also, introduce a new
out-of-tree dracut module (99zz-fadumpinit) that installs a customized
init program while moving the default /init to /init.dracut. This
customized init program is leveraged to isolate fadump image within
the default initramfs image by kicking off default boot process
(exec /init.dracut) for regular boot scenario and activating fadump
initramfs image, if the system is booting after a crash.
If squash is available, ensure default initramfs image is also built
with squash module to reduce memory consumption in capture kernel.

[PATCH] check for invalid physical address of /proc/kcore when making ELF dumpfile
Previously when executing makedumpfile with -E option against
/proc/kcore, makedumpfile will fail:
# makedumpfile -E -d 31 /proc/kcore kcore.dump
...
write_elf_load_segment: Can't convert physaddr(ffffffffffffffff) to an offset.
makedumpfile Failed.
It's because /proc/kcore contains PT_LOAD program headers which have
physaddr (0xffffffffffffffff). With -E option, makedumpfile will
try to convert the physaddr to an offset and fails.
Skip the PT_LOAD program headers which have such physaddr.

makedumpfile uses max_paddr to calculate the number of sections for
sparse memory model thus wrong number is obtained based on max_paddr
(-1). This error could lead to the failure of copying /proc/kcore
for RHEL-8.5 on ppc64le machine [1]:
$ makedumpfile /proc/kcore vmcore1
get_mem_section: Could not validate mem_section.
get_mm_sparsemem: Can't get the address of mem_section.
makedumpfile Failed.
Let's check if the phys_start of the segment is a valid physical
address to fix this problem.

[PATCH] Increase SECTION_MAP_LAST_BIT to 5
* Required for kernel 5.12
Kernel commit 1f90a3477df3 ("mm: teach pfn_to_online_page() about
ZONE_DEVICE section collisions") added a section flag
(SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE) and causes makedumpfile an error on
some machines like this:
__vtop4_x86_64: Can't get a valid pmd_pte.
readmem: Can't convert a virtual address(ffffe2bdc2000000) to physical address.

been used until the change, so we can just increase the value.

The wrapper is introduced in commit 002337c, according to the commit
message, the only usage of the wrapper is when dracut-initqueue calls
"systemctl start emergency" directly. In that case, emergency
is started, but not in a isolation mode, which means dracut-initqueue
is still running. On the other hand, emergency will call
"systemctl start dracut-initqueue" again when default action is dump_to_rootfs.
systemd would block on the last dracut-initqueue, waiting for the first
instance to exit, which leaves us hang.
In previous commit we added initqueue status detect in dump_to_rootfs,
so now even without the wrapper, it will not hang.
And actually, previously, with the wrapper, emergency might still hang
for like 30s. When dracut called emergency service because initqueue
timed out, dump_to_rootfs will try start initqueue again and timeout
again. Now with the wrapper removed, we can avoid these two kinds of
hangs, bacause without the isolation we can detect initqueue service
status correctly in such case.
Also remove the invalid header comments in service file, the service
is not part of systemd code. And sync the service spec with dracut.

Note that this value should not be used with /proc/kcore to determine
how much disk space is needed for crash dump, because the real memory
usage when a crash occurs can vary widely.
