kexec_test seems to be no longer used upstream, so we had introduced
the 'kexec-tools-2.0.3-disable-kexec-test.patch' earlier to disable the
same from fedora kexec-tools as well.
However an earlier patch "Remove obsolete kdump tool" now explicitly
installs needed files via appropriate logic in .spec file, so we can
drop this patch now to reduce the maintenance burden.

No manual entry for kdump
Update the fedora 'kexec-tools.spec' to not install the obsolete
kdump tool.
I have submitted an upstream patch to obsolete the kdump tool from
upstream kexec-tools (which has been accepted), but after an internal
discussion we decided not to backport the upstream 'kexec-tools' patch
(which does the same) for fedora, as we would prefer to manage the
changes directly in the .spec file itself.

Merge 90-multipath-hostonly and 90-multipath
commit a695250ec7db21359689e50733c6581a8d211215
Author: Kairui Song <kasong@redhat.com>
Date: Wed Jul 4 17:21:37 2018 +0800
Introduce tri-state hostonly mode
multipath-hostonly module was introduced only for kdump, because kdump
need a more strict hostonly policy for multipath device to save memory.
Now multipath module will provide the behave we wanted by setting
hostonly mode to strict.
Currently, we only rebuilt kdump initramfs on config file change,
fs change, or watchdog related change. This will not cover the case
that hardware changed but fs layout and other configurations still
stays the same, and kdump may fail.
To cover such case, we can detect and compare loaded kernel modules,
if a hardware change requires the image to be rebuilt, loaded kernel
modules must have changed.
Starting from commit 7047294 dracut will record loaded kernel modules
when the image is built if hostonly mode is enabled. With this patch,
kdumpctl will compare the recorded value with currently loaded kernel
modules, and rebuild the image on change.
"kdumpctl start" will be a bit slower, as we have to call lsinitrd one
more time to get the loaded kernel modules list. I measure the time
consumption and we have an overall 0.2s increased loading time.
Time consumption of command "kdumpctl restart":
Before:
real 0m0.587s
user 0m0.481s
sys 0m0.102s
After:
real 0m0.731s
user 0m0.591s

Time comsumption of command "kdumpctl restart" with image rebuild:
Before (force rebuild):

After (inserted ~100 new modules):

Kdump always use _proto=dhcp for both ipv4 and ipv6. But for ipv6
the dhcp address assignment is not like ipv4, there are different ways
for it, stateless and stateful, see below document:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IPv6Guide
In case stateless, kernel can do the address assignment, dracut use
_proto=auto6; for stateful case, dracut use _proto=dhcp6.
But it is hard to decide whether stateless or stateful takes effect,
hence, dracut introduces ip=either6 option, which can try both of these
method automatically for us. For detail, refer to dracut:
commit 67354ee 40network: introduce ip=either6 option
We do not see bug reports before because for the most auto6 cases
kernel assign ip address before dhclient, kdump just happened to work.

When using fence_kdump, module-setup will create a kdump.conf with
fence_kdump_nodes. The node name comes from the cluster xml, which may
use the hostname alias. Later in kdump stage, "fence_kdump_send alias_1
alias_2" sends out notification to peers. Hence it requires /etc/hosts
and nsswitch.conf to make alias work.

Kdump service starts too late, so early crashes will have no chance
to get kdump kernel booting, this will cause crash information to be
lost. It is necessary to add a dracut module in order to load crash
kernel and initramfs as early as possible. You can provide "rd.early
kdump" in grub commandline to enable, then the early kdump will load
those files like the normal kdump, which is disabled by default.
For the normal kdump service, it can check whether the early kdump
has loaded the crash kernel and initramfs. It has no conflict with
the early kdump.
If you rebuild the new initramfs for early kdump, the new initramfs
size will become large, because it will put the vmlinuz and kdump
initramfs into the new initramfs.
In addition, early kdump doesn't support fadump.

When using "dracut_args --mount" to specify dump target, e.g. nfs like:
path /
core_collector makedumpfile -d 31
dracut_args --mount "host:/path /var/crash nfs defaults"
kdump service should neither guarantees the correctness, nor relabels it.
For current code, since dracut_args dump targets are likely not mounted
so kdump service mistakenly relabel the rootfs, which is meanless and
takes very long time.

This reverts commit 2040103bd7.
Reason is it's based on the environment of 1st kernel where all
present devices could be active and initialized during bootup.
Then all pci devices will request irqs. While kdump only brings
up those devices which are necessary for vmcore dumping. So this
commit is not meaningful and helpless to very large extent. And
it will print out 'Warning' when calculated result is larger than
1 cpu, actually it's a false positive report most of the time.
So revert the commit, and can check the git history for later
reference.
[dyoung]: on some machine this warning message shows up but
later we found the irq numbers with and without nr_cpus=1 is
quite different so this need more investigation since
the formula is not accurate.

hardcoding the wwid of the drives in the initramfs causes problems
when the drives are cloned to a system with the same hardware, but
different disk wwid's
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1457311
So kdump should decide whether to include the hostonly module.
The multipath-hostonly can help kdump to include only the needed mpath device,
in order to use less memory by 2nd kernel.

It is not a problem actually, sorry for the noise.
Although root set different "PATH" can lead to wrong script, but it is
different with what the bug described "current working dir" and it is
not a problem worth an update
Since we call dracut directly on current working directory "." so it is

Dracut has "--hostonly-cmdline" which can generate cmdlines(if any)
regarding the dump target, it's an existing way for us to use to
simplify the code. E.g. We already removed generate_lvm_cmdlines(),
to use "--hostonly-cmdline".
But "--hostonly-cmdline" has other issues(e.g. BZ1451717), it adds
needless devices for kdump like root device.
Now dracut supports "--no-hostonly-default-device" which enables
us to only add the kdump target, which can avoid needless devices
being recognized under kdump. Thus "--hostonly-cmdline" side effects
can be avoided with the help of "--no-hostonly-default-device".
This patch applies dracut's "--hostonly-cmdline" together with
"--no-hostonly-default-device" to achieve above-mentioned purpose.
