There are some complaints about nfs kdump that users must mount
nfs beforehand, which may cause some overhead to nfs server.
For example, there're thounsands of diskless clients deployed with
nfs dumping, each time the client is boot up, it will trigger
kdump rebuilding so will mount nfs, thus resulting in thousands
of nfs request concurrently imposed on the same nfs server.
We introduce a new way of specifying mount information via the
already-existent "dracut_args" directive(so avoid adding extra
directives in /etc/kdump.conf), we will skip all the filesystem
mounting and checking stuff for it. So it can be used in the
above-mentioned nfs scenario to avoid severe nfs server overhead.
Specifically, if there is any "--mount" information specified via
"dracut_args" in /etc/kdump.conf, always use it as the final mount
without any validation(mounting or checking like mount options,
fs size, etc), so users are expected to ensure its correctness.
NOTE:
-Only one mount target is allowed using "dracut_args" globally.
-Dracut will create <mountpoint> if it doesn't exist in kdump kernel,
<mountpoint> must be specified as an absolute path.
-Users should do a test first and ensure it works because kdump does
not prepare the mount or check all the validity.

User complains that kdump_post script doesn't execute after mount

Once login using ssh, the ssh will store the known hosts entry to the
local ~/.ssh/known_hosts. From now, we can login using ssh automaticly.
The ssh will check the ~/ssh/.known_hosts entry, if set the option
StrictHostKeyChecking=yes/ask in the config or command line, when you
want to login the target. the default value of StrictHostKeyChecking is
ask.
And the kdump using the ssh will append the option
StrictHostKeyChecking=yes in the command line.
We can using following ip to connect peer machine, if enable the ipv6.
fe80::5054:ff:fe48:ca80%eth0
Obviously, above ip contains the ethX.
Kdump will add the prefix "kdump-" before ethX to avoid flowing
netdevice name in case netdevice names ethX in the 2nd kernel. So the
ip address will change to fe80::5054:ff:fe48:ca80%kdump-eth0.
Kdump will login the target manully in the 2nd kernel, because of the
option StrictHostKeyChecking=yes and inexistence known hosts entry

With fadump support, dracut-kdump.sh script is installed into default
initrd to capture vmcore generated by firmware assisted dump. Thus in
fadump case, the same initrd is being used for normal boot as well as
boot after system crash. Hence a device node, added by firmware while
system crashes, is checked to identify if it is a normal boot or boot
after crash to determine whether or not capture vmcore. While testing
fadump in fedora21 alpha, observed that vmcore capture is initiated
even during normal boot, inspite of this check, with the below error:

This patch introduce a new kdump-capture.service which is used to run
kdump.sh.
kdump-capture.service has OnFailure=emergency.target and
OnFailureIsolate=yes set. When kdump.sh fails, the kdump emergency
service will be triggered and enter the error handling path.
In 2nd kernel, the default target for systemd is initrd.target, so we
put kdump-capture.service in initrd.target.wants/ and by that, system
will start kdump-capture as part of the boot process.
kdump.sh used to run in dracut-pre-pivot hook. Now kdump-capture.service
is placed after dracut-pre-pivot.service and other dependencies are all
copied from dracut-pre-pivot.service. So the start point of
kdump.sh will be almost the same as it used to be.

Now upon failure kdump script might not be called at all and it might
not be able to execute default action. It results in a hang.
Because we disable emergency shell and rely on kdump.sh being invoked
through dracut-pre-pivot hook. But it might happen that we never call
into dracut-pre-pivot hook because certain systemd targets could not
reach due to failure in their dependencies. In those cases error
handling code does not run and system hangs. For example:
sysroot-var-crash.mount --> initrd-root-fs.target --> initrd.target \
--> dracut-pre-pivot.service --> kdump.sh
If /sysroot/var/crash mount fails, initrd-root-fs.target will not be
reached. And then initrd.target will not be reached,
dracut-pre-pivot.service wouldn't run. Finally kdump.sh wouldn't run.
To solve this problem, we need to separate the error handling code from
dracut-pre-pivot hook, and every time when a failure shows up, the
separated code can be called by the emergency service.
By default systemd provides an emergency service which will drop us into
shell every time upon a critical failure. It's very convenient for us to
re-use the framework of systemd emergency, because we don't have to
touch the other parts of systemd. We can use our own script instead of
the default one.
This new scheme will overwrite emergency shell and replace with kdump
error handling code. And this code will do the error handling as needed.
Now, we will not rely on dracut-pre-pivot hook running always. Instead
whenever error happens and it is serious enough that emergency shell
needed to run, now kdump error handler will run.
dracut-emergency is also replaced by kdump error handler and it's
enabled again all the way down. So all the failure (including systemd
and dracut) in 2nd kernel could be captured, and trigger kdump error
handler.
dracut-initqueue is a special case, which calls "systemctl start
emergency" directly, not via "OnFailure=emergency". In case of failure,
emergency is started, but not in a isolation mode, which means
dracut-initqueue is still running. On the other hand, emergency will
call 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. It looks like the following:
dracut-initqueue (running)
--> call dracut-emergency:
--> dracut-emergency (running)
--> kdump-error-handler.sh (running)
--> call dracut-initqueue:
--> blocking and waiting for the original instance to exit.
To fix this, I'd like to introduce a wrapper emergency service. This
emegency service will replace both the systemd and dracut emergency. And
this service does nothing but to isolate to real kdump error handler
service:
dracut-initqueue (running)
--> call dracut-emergency:
--> dracut-emergency isolate to kdump-error-handler.service
--> dracut-emergency and dracut-initqueue will both be stopped
and kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh.
In a normal failure case, this still works:
foo.service fails
--> trigger emergency.service
--> emergency.service isolates to kdump-error-handler.service
--> kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh

The script dracut-kdump.sh is responsible for capturing vmcore during
second kernel boot. Currently this script gets installed into kdump
initrd as part of kdumpbase dracut module.
With fadump support, 'dracut-kdump.sh' script also gets installed into
default initrd to capture vmcore generated by firmware assisted dump.
Thus in fadump case, the same initrd is going to be used for normal
boot as well as boot after system crash. Hence a check is required to
see if it is a normal boot or boot after crash.
A new node "ibm,kernel-dump" is added, to the device tree, by firmware
to notify kernel if it is booting after crash. The below patch adds a
check for this node before executing steps to capture vmcore. This
check will help bypassing the vmcore capture steps during normal boot

But during testing, it has been observed that systemd will cache stderr
buffer, and first record to syslog (and it's own journal), then copy the

kdump script. We may have suppressed stdout/stderr that hasn't been

Firstly rename dump_rootfs to dump_to_rootfs to remove the ambiguity
about dump_rootfs. Then add it as one of default options. That means
user can specify dump_to_rootfs to be default action manually, then
it will take action when specified target dump failed.
Secondly, in rhel7 and fedora, when default action is not specified,
the default 'default' is dump_to_rootfs. Namely when specified target
dump failed, the kdump initrd will mount root and save kdump from
initramfs context. However in rhel6, the default 'default' is 'reboot'.
That means when specified target dump failed, the kdump initrd will
reboot systems. For being consistent with rhel6, change the default
'default' back to 'reboot'. And this can also keep logic simple, easier
to understand. Primarily, Our default dump target is root filesystem.
So keeping "default" as "dump_to_rootfs" and trying to dump to root
filesystem again when first attempt fails does not make much sense.

openssh usually depends on /dev/urandom to seeding PRNG (pseudo-random number
generator). To ensure there's sufficient entropy just feed /dev/urandom with
saved /var/lib/random-seed which is saved in installing phase.
dracut_install will print error message, so just exit and do not print error
again.
Todo: other dracut_install fail and exit, such as dd, makedumpfile.
[v2->v3]: use [[:blank:]] for whitespace checking.

We can use not only space but also tab as whitespace,
so s/\ /[[:blank:]] for checking the whitespace
The last commit is intend for checking multiple dump target,
and differentiate ssh and sshkey options. This issue is only
for ssh, so no need to add [[:blank:]] for other dump types to
create a very long code line.
[v1->v2]: use [[:blank:]] instead of [[:space:]]
see expanation in below doc:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression#POSIX_character_classes
[:blank:] [ \t] Space and tab
[:space:] [ \t\r\n\v\f] Whitespace characters
Tested the [:blank:] works well as [:space:]

currently --mount param are retrieved from /proc/mounts, but the device
name could be renamed in initramfs. So here convert them to persistent
names before passing to dracut
lvm canonical dev name is /dev/mapper/lvname-link which will be showed
in /proc/mounts
here fix get_mp function by using findmnt utils to find the mount point.
This patch depends on below dracut patch:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.initramfs/2903
[chaowang]:
in case device is not mounted we should not echo the mount line in to_mount()
use findmnt -n to strip the header line
for nfs don't pass persistent name to dracut
[vivek]:
improve variable names

When we intall kdump.conf to initramfs we have converted the UUID and LABEL
to device name. So in initramfs these convert code is not used indeed.
