Supported targets: Import from CentOS Stream 9
In CentOS Stream a list of supported targets is maintained. Where
"supported" means that these targets are tested regularly. Even though
there are some small differences between CentOS Stream and Fedora when
it comes to provided/supported packages and kernel configs, having this
list in Fedora as well makes sense. As it provides a entry point for
users to find out if a given setup is meant to work or not. Thus include
the supported-kdump-targets.txt from CentOS Stream 9 [1] into Fedora.

Majority of current kexec-tools users have installed kexec-tools out of

The two systems are IA64 based which is no longer supported by Fedora
and was only supported in RHEL up to RHEL5. So it is safe to simply drop
the special handling. In case it is still wanted nevertheless the
special handling should be added to kdump-lib.sh:prepare_cmdline rather
than editing the sysconfig in the spec file.

Currently, kexec-tools only updates the crashkernel to a new default
value only when both two conditions are met,
- auto_reset_crashkernel=yes in kdump.conf
- existing kernels or current running kernel should use the old default
value.
To address seen corner cases, the logic to tell if the second condition
is met becomes quite complex. Instead of making the logic more complex
to support aarch64-64k, this patch drops the second condition to
simplify the management of the crashkernel kernel parameter.
Another change brought by this simplification is kexec-tools will also
set up the kernel crashkernel parameter for a fresh install (previously
it's limited to osbuild).
Note
1. This patch also stop trying to update /etc/default/grub because
a) it only affects the static file /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
b) grubby is recommended to change the kernel command-line parameters
for both Fedora [1] and RHEL9 [2][3]
c) For the cases of aarch64 and POWER, different kernels could have
different default crashkernel value.
2. Starting with Fedora 37, posttrans rpm scriplet distinguish between
package install and upgrade.

The new aggressive strip option was added in dracut 058, which tell
dracut to build the initramfs stripping more sections of the ELF
binaries (basically strip .symtab, .strtab).
These section are only useful for debugging runtime failures, but in
kdump kernel, neccessary tools for debug any runtime failure are
absent, there is no point keeping these sections.
Stripping these section can help save some memory with almost no side
effect. So let enable --aggressive-strip by default.
Comparison of unpacked initramfs before / after enabling aggressive strip:
du -hs image image.aggressive-strip
31M image
29M image.aggressive-strip

A Unified Kernel Image (UKI) is a single EFI PE executable combining an
EFI stub, a kernel image, an initrd image, and the kernel command line.
They are defined in the Boot Loader Specification [1] as type #2
entries. UKIs have the advantage that all code as well as meta data that
is required to boot the system, not only the kernel image, is combined
in a single PE file and can be signed for EFI SecureBoot. This extends
the coverage of SecureBoot extensively.
For RHEL support for UKI were included into kernel-ark with 16c7e3ee836e
("redhat: Add sub-RPM with a EFI unified kernel image for virtual
machines").
There are two problems with UKIs from the kdump point of view at the
moment. First, they cannot be directly loaded via kexec_file_load and
second, the initrd included isn't suitable for kdump. In order to enable
kdump on systems with UKIs build the kdump initrd as usual and extract
the kernel image before loading the crash kernel.

The function is pretty broken right now. To start with the -o/--omit
option allows a quoted, space separated list of modules. But using 'set'
breaks quotation and thus only considers the first element in the list.
Furthermore dracut uses getopt internally. This means that it is also
possible to pass the list via --omit=.
Fix the function by making use of getopt for parsing the dracut_args.
While at it also add a test cases to cover the functions.

[PATCH] Fix wrong exclusion of slab pages on Linux 6.2-rc1
* Required for kernel 6.2
Kernel commit 130d4df57390 ("mm/sl[au]b: rearrange struct slab fields to
allow larger rcu_head"), which is contained in Linux 6.2-rc1 and later,
made the offset of slab.slabs equal to page.mapping's one. As a result,
"makedumpfile -d 8", which should exclude user data, excludes some slab
pages wrongly because isAnon() returns true when slab.slabs is an odd
number. With such dumpfiles, crash can fail to start session with an
error like this:
# crash vmlinux dumpfile
...
crash: page excluded: kernel virtual address: ffff8fa047ac2fe8 type: "xa_node shift"
Make isAnon() check that the page is not slab to fix this.

This is because when anaconda installs the packages, bootloader hasn't
been installed and /boot/grub2/grubenv or /etc/zipl.conf doesn't exist.
So don't try to update crashkernel when bootloader isn't ready to avoid
the above errors.
Note this is the second attempt to fix this issue. Previously a file
/tmp/kexec_tools_package_install was created to avoid running the
related code thus to avoid the above errors but unfortunately that
approach has two issues a) somehow osbuild doesn't delete it for RHEL b)
this file could still exist if users manually remove kexec-tools.
