Extract functions from kdump.sh, and construct kdump-lib-initramfs.sh as
kdump common functions/varaibles library.
kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will include kdump-lib.sh, because it will use
the functions from there. IOW, kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will be a superset
of kdump-lib.sh
So after this cleanup:
- scripts running in 1st kernel only have to include kdump-lib.sh
- scripts running in 2nd kernel only have to include kdump-lib-initramfs.sh

Recently somebody reported an issue where vmcore-dmesg.txt was saved
successfully but later saving vmcore failed to due to lack of space on disk.
System rebooted but after reboot there was nothing on disk. Not even
vmcore-dmesg.txt.
Issue a sync after saving vmcore-dmesg.txt to solve this issue.
I think this is happening because we are doing "reboot -f" instead of going
through systemd reboot path. Anyway, doing a sync now should take care of
this.

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
process.

The current kdump infrastructure builds a separate initrd which then
gets loaded into memory by kexec-tools for use by kdump kernel. But
firmware assisted dump (FADUMP) does not use kexec-based approach.
After crash, firmware reboots the partition and loads grub loader
like the normal booting process does. Hence in the FADUMP approach,
the second kernel (after crash) will always use the default initrd
(OS built). So, to support FADUMP, change is required, as in to add
dump capturing steps, in this initrd.
The current kdumpctl script implementation already has the code to
build initrd using mkdumprd. This patch uses the new '--rebuild'
option introduced, in dracut, to incrementally build the initramfs
image. Before rebuilding, we may need to probe the initrd image for
fadump support, to avoid rebuilding the initrd image multiple times
unnecessarily. This can be done using "lsinitrd" tool with the newly
proposed '--mod' option & inspecting the presence of "kdumpbase" in
the list of modules of default initrd image. We rebuild the image if
only "kdumpbase" module is missing in the initrd image. Also, before
rebuilding, a backup of default initrd image is taken.
Kexec-tools package in rhel7 is now enhanced to insert a out-of-tree
kdump module for dracut, which is responsible for adding vmcore
capture steps into initrd, if dracut is invoked with "IN_KDUMP"
environment variable set to 1. mkdumprd script exports "IN_KDUMP=1"
environment variable before invoking dracut to build kdump initrd.
This patch relies on this current mechanism of kdump init script.

We met a problem that eth0 ends up being eth1 and eth1 being eth0
between 1st and 2nd kernel. Because we pass ifname=eth0:$mac to force
it's named eth0 and since "eth0"is already taken by the other NIC, udev
fails to bring up the NIC we want, thus kdump fails.
kernel assigned network interface names are not persistent. So if first
kernel is using kernel assigned interface names, then force it to use
"kdump-" prefixed names in second kernel.
For ethX, we put a prefix "kdump-" before it, so in 2nd kernel, ethX
will name to "kdump-ethX". So that we can avoid the naming conflict.
We only need to change the ethernet card name, that means, for bridge,
vlan, bond, team devices' names , we never prefix them. Because these
names are assigned when they're created by userspace.

[PATCH 3/3] Stop maximizing the bitmap buffer to reduce the risk of OOM.
We tried to maximize the bitmap buffer to get the best performance,
but the performance degradation caused by multi-cycle processing
looks very small according to the benchmark on 2TB memory:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/26/914
This result means we don't need to make an effort to maximize the
bitmap buffer, it will just increase the risk of OOM.
This patch sets a small fixed value (4MB) as a safety limit,
it may be safer and enough in most cases.

[PATCH v3] Fix free bitmap_buffer_cyclic error.
Description:
In create_dump_bitmap() and write_kdump_pages_and_bitmap_cyclic(),
What should be freed is info->partial_bitmap instead of info->bitmap.
Solution:
Add two functions to free the bitmap_buffer_cyclic. info->partial_bitmap1
is freed by free_bitmap1_buffer_cyclic(). info->partial_bitmap2 is
freed by free_bitmap2_buffer_cyclic(). At the same time, remove
thoes frees that free partial_bitmap1 or partial_bitmap2 at the end
of main() because partial_bitmap1 and partial_bitmap2 has been freed
after dump file has been written out, so there is no need to free it
again at the end of main.

b. the variable is a number of pages

of subtracting two PFNs or incremented in a loop over a range of PFNs,
so it can get as large as a PFN.

When libeppic isn't installed on a standard location, building

makedumpfile
|--- arch
+--- eeppic_scripts
eppic
|--- applications
+--- libeppic
After compiling libeppic, one can use the following command to build

NetworkManager changed the format of ifcfg-device files. They may define

IPADDR0=192.168.122.100
PREFIX0=24
There may be up to 255 ip addresses for a network device - each with a unique
number tagged to the end of IPADDR and PREFIX.
Prior to this fix, kdump only handled static ip addresses defined with
IPADDR=192.168.122.100
PREFIX=24
ie. without the number.
The solution is to use "ip" commands to find the correct network information.
Tested with both static and dynamic IP addresses.

During debugging of another problem issues were noted with the kdump udev
rules. The kdump service is restarted on memory add and remove events.
These are the wrong events for these types of devices and result in an overly
aggressive restarting of the kdump service.
There are four udev events to consider, "add", "remove", "online", and
"offline". The remove event is a complete removal from the system -- neither
the hardware nor the kernel know about the hardware; it has been physically
removed. The add event is associated with hardware being physically added to
the system. The kernel has some limited knowledge of the device, however,
it is not avaiable for the kernel to use until it is brought online. Online
events refer to the device being available for the kernel to use. Opposite
to that is the offline event, which occurs when a device is no longer in
use by the kernel.
Note that in all four events the kernel *may* have some remaining information
stored about the device.
In the case of memory hotplug, kdump should be restarted when a memory module
is onlined or offlined. This is because the memory is not in use by the
kernel until the memory is onlined, and it is unused when the memory is
offlined.
Making these modifications results in smooth service on systems that do
heavy memory onlining and offlining.
