Early kdump inherits the settings of normal kdump, so any changes that
caused normal kdump rebuilding also require rebuilding the system initramfs
to make sure that the changes take effect for early kdump.
Therefore, when the early kdump is enabled, provide a prompt message after
the rebuilding of kdump initramfs is completed.

Previous we rebuild the initramfs when kenrel load module list changed,
but this is not very stable as some async services may load/unload
kernel modules, and cause unnecessary initramfs rebuild.
Instead, it's better to just check if the module required to dump to
the dump target is loaded or not, and rebuild if not loaded. This
avoids most false-positives, and ensure local target change is always
covered.
Currently only local fs dump target is covered, because this check
requires the dump target to be mounted when building the initramfs,
this guarantee that the module is in the loaded kernel module list,
else we may still get some false positive.
dracut-install could be leveraged to combine the modalias list with
kernel loaded module list as a more stable module list in the initramfs,
but upstream dracut change need to be done first.
Passed test on a KVM VM, changing the storage between SATA/USB/VirtIO
will trigger initramfs rebuild and didn't notice any false-positive.
Also passed test on my laptop with no false-positive.

This reverts commit 6b479b6572.
Check initramfs rebuild by looking at if there is any change of load
kernel modules list is not very stable after all. Previously we are
counting on udev to settle before kdump is started to ensure all modules
is ready, but actually any service may cause a kernel module load, even
after udev is settled.
The previous commit is trying to workaround an issue that VM created
with disk snapshot may fail in the kdump initramfs. The better fix is to
not include the kdump initramfs in the disk snapshot at all, as the
kdump initramfs is not generated for a generic use. And With new added
"kdumpctl reload" command, admins could rebuild the image easily, and
should rebuild the initramfs on hardware change manually.

The idea behind adding support for dracut '--rebuild' option was to
ensure the initrd built for fadump takes into consideration all the
build parameters passed to original initrd. Pass original initrd
instead of current default initrd for rebuild as current initrd
might already have build parameters from original initrd along
with parameters from previous fadump intird build making the
build parameters look like this after a few iterations:
-H --persistent-policy 'by-uuid' -f --quiet --hostonly --hostonly-
cmdline --hostonly-i18n --hostonly-mode 'strict' -o 'plymouth dash
resume ifcfg' --mount '/dev/mapper/rhel_zzfp219--lp3-home /kdumproot
//home xfs defaults' -f --kver '4.18.0-60.el8.ppc64le' --quiet
--hostonly --hostonly-cmdline --hostonly-i18n --hostonly-mode 'strict'
-o 'plymouth dash resume ifcfg' --mount '/dev/mapper/rhel_zzfp219--lp3-home
/kdumproot//home xfs defaults' -f --kver '4.18.0-60.el8.ppc64le' --quiet

'/tmp/fadump.initramfs' '/etc/fadump.initramfs' --include
'/tmp/fadump.initramfs' '/etc/fadump.initramfs'

Since it is not desirable to build initrd with stale and/or duplicate
build parameters, use original initrd (backed up) to rebuild fadump

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":

commit is not meaningful and helpless to very large extent. And
it will print out 'Warning' when calculated result is larger than

So revert the commit, and can check the git history for later

We met a problem on AMD machines, when using "nr_cpus=4" for
kdump, and crash happens on cpus other than cpu0, kdump kernel
will fail to boot and eventually reset.
After some debugging, we found that it stuck at the kernel path
do_boot_cpu()-> ... ->wakeup_secondary_cpu_via_init():
apic_icr_write(APIC_INT_LEVELTRIG|APIC_INT_ASSERT|APIC_DM_INIT,
phys_apicid);
that is, it stuck at sending INIT from AP to BP and reset, which
is actually what "disable_cpu_apicid=X" tries to solve. Printing
the value of @phys_apicid showed that it was the value of "apicid"
other that of "initial apicid" showed by /proc/cpuinfo.
As described in x86 specification:
"In MP systems, the local APIC ID is also used as a processor ID by the
BIOS and the operating system. Some processors permit software to modify
the APIC ID. However, the ability of software to modify the APIC ID is
processor model specific. Because of this, operating system software
should avoid writing to the local APIC ID register. The value returned by
bits 31-24 of the EBX register (when the CPUID instruction is executed with a
source operand value of 1 in the EAX register) is always the Initial APIC ID
(determined by the platform initialization). This is true even if software
has changed the value in the Local APIC ID register."
From kernel commit 151e0c7de("x86, apic, kexec: Add disable_cpu_apicid
kernel parameter"), we can see in generic_processor_info(), it uses
a)read_apic_id() and b)@apicid to compare with @disabled_cpu_apicid.
a)@apicid which is actually @phys_apicid above-mentioned is from the
following calltrace(on the problematic AMD machine):
generic_processor_info+0x37/0x300
acpi_register_lapic+0x30/0x90
acpi_parse_lapic+0x40/0x50
acpi_table_parse_entries_array+0x171/0x1de
acpi_boot_init+0xed/0x50f
The value of @apicid(from acpi MADT) is equal to the value of "apicid"
showed by /proc/cpuinfo as proved by our debug printk.
b)read_apic_id() gets the value from LAPIC ID register which is "apicid"
as well.
While the value of "initial apicid" is from cpuid instruction.
One example of "apicid" and "initial apicid" of cpu0 from /proc/cpuinfo
on AMD machine:
apicid : 32
initial apicid : 0
Therefore, we should assign /proc/cpuifo "apicid" to "disable_cpu_apicid=X".
We've never met such issue before, because we usually tested "nr_cpus=1",
and mostly on Intel machines, and "apicid" and "initial apicid" have the
same value in most cases on Intel machines.

there is

which will fail in user mode. However, this fail will cause
script exiting under bash but not exiting under sh, causing

Some cloud people complained that VM boot speed is slower than

kdump will not mount the unnecessary root fs after this change.

(if "default dump_to_rootfs" is specified, don't remove "root=X"),
and mounts non-root target under "/kdumproot", the root target
still under "/sysroot"(to be align with systemd sysroot.mount).
After removing "root=X", we now add root fs mount information
explicitly from the kdump side.
Changed check_dump_fs_modified() a little to avoid rebuild when
dump target is root, since we add root fs mount explicitly now.

Check the number of cpus for x86_64 kdump kernel to boot with.
We met an issue on x86_64: kdump runs out of vectors with the
default "nr_cpus=1", when requesting tons of irqs.
This patch detects such situation and warns users about the risk.
The total number of vectors percpu is 256 defined by x86 architecture.
The available vectors can be allocated to io devices percpu starts
from FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR(see kernel code), and some high-numbered
ones are consumed by some system interrupts. As a result, the vectors
for io device are within [FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR, FIRST_SYSTEM_VECTOR),
with one known exception, 0x80 within the range is reserved specially
as the syscall vector.
FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR is invariably 32, while FIRST_SYSTEM_VECTOR can
vary between different kernel versions. E.g. FIRST_SYSTEM_VECTOR gets
0xef(with CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC on)for linux-4.10, that is 17 vectors
reserved, considering it may increase in the future and the special
vectors, we use a flexible variance and assume there are 32 reserved
from FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR. Then the max vectors for device interrupts
percpu is: (256-32)-32=192, we acquire the number N of device interrupts
from /proc/irq/, then the number of minimal cpus required is calculated:
(N + 192 - 1) / 192

Notes about kdump_get_presistent_dev:
Dracut now has a persistent_policy feature, for kdump when we dump to
raw disks we do not care the filesystem uuid and labels so we prefer to
search disk id instead. For raw disk set the persistent_policy before calling
get_persistent_dev ensure kdump logic still work.

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.

Resolves: BZ1348898
dracut-functions.sh defines a get_persistent_dev(). Earlier, we had another
local get_persistent_dev() in mkdumprd, however that was moved to
kdump-lib.sh, so that it can be reused in kdumpctl.
Since, dracut-module-setup.sh (which is dracut's
99kdumpbase/module-setup.sh) sources kdump-lib.sh. Therefore, once dracut
will execute 99kdumpbase module, it's own get_persistent_dev() function is
overwritten by kdump's version. If any other dracut module calls
get_persistent_dev() thereafter then, kdump's version is executed, which was
not expected.
Therefore rename kdump's get_persistent_dev() as kdump_get_persistent_dev()
to avoid any name contention.

kdumpctl passes --device argument if dump target is a raw device. It passes
--mount argument if dump target is either mounted as nfs or as a bulk
device. When dump target device is a root device then it does not pass any
of the above two arguments.
After kdumpctl restart, if there is any change in file system which needs
different dracut arguments, then initramfs must be rebuild.
Modification in filesystem for a raw target does not affect dracut
arguments. So, we do not consider to check any modification if raw target
was specified in kdump.conf.
We might need to change dracut arguments if there is some changes in nfs
and ssh target related files. However, we do not consider them in this
patch.
We mainly consider changes in bulk target specified in kdump.conf. We also
consider changes in bulk and nfs file system, if there was no dump target
specified in kdump.conf but dump path is mounting such file systems.
So the initramfs must be rebuild if, either dump target's persistent path
or it's mount point or its file system type changes. If there is no dump
target specified then, both dump path and root path must mount same device,
otherwise rebuild should be triggered.
Some of the examples when we can need a rebuild:
-- "dump target" is specified as one of ext[234], xfs or btrfs. But after
kdump initramfs building its UUID is changed by reformatting.
-- "dump target" is specified as file system type fs1 (say ext3). But after
kdump initramfs building, user change it to fs2 (say ext4), probably by
a mkfs.ext4 executing on the target device.
-- "dump target" is not specified, but "dump path" mounts a device which
is different than device for root path and either UUID or file system type
is modified after kdump initramfs build.
-- "dump target" is not specified, but "dump path" mounts a nfs device and
nfs host path changes after kdump initramfs build.
Some testing:
Initial conditions:
-- No dump target specified
-- dump path (/var/crash) and root(/) are on same device
-- kdumpctl was already executed once after last modification in
/etc/kdump.conf

This means that kdump will not find vmlinuz when installed on an
Atomic host, and thus the kdump service will fail to start.

1st kernel and kdump kernel are put in the same place under /boot.
Then find it according /proc/cmdline and append it to /boot/

So now the KDUMP_BOOTDIR in /etc/sysconfig/kdump is set as empty

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.

fallback to starting of existing kexec based kdump. If firmware assisted
is enabled but not running, then start firmware assisted dump by echo'ing
1 to '/sys/kernel/fadump_registered' file.

This patch enables kdump script to check if firmware-assisted dump is
enabled or not by reading value from '/sys/kernel/fadump_enabled'. The
determine_dump_mode() routine sets dump_mode to 'fadump', if fadump is
enabled. By default, dump_mode is set to 'kdump' mode.
Modify status routine to check if firmware assisted dump is registered
or not by reading value from '/sys/kernel/fadump_registered' file. If
it is set to '1' then return status=0 else return status=1.
0 <= Firmware assisted is enabled and running
1 <= Firmware assisted is enabled but not running

Vivek suggested we should display message while waiting for the lock,
because the waiting could be long and user will have no idea what's
going on.
So we will repeat the following message every 5 seconds while waiting:
"Another app is currently holding the kdump lock; waiting for it to exit..."
Thanks Vivek for providing a more comprehensive message.

Adds two new options to kdump.conf to be able to configure fence_kdump
support for generic clusters:
fence_kdump_args <arg(s)>
- Command line arguments for fence_kdump_send (it can contain all
valid arguments except hosts to send notification to)
fence_kdump_nodes <node(s)>
- List of cluster node(s) separated by space to send fence_kdump
notification to (this option is mandatory to enable fence_kdump)
Generic clusters fence_kdump configuration take precedence over older
method of fence_kdump configuration for Pacemaker clusters. It means
that if fence_kdump is configured using above options in kdump.conf, old
Pacemaker configuration is not used even if it exists.

== Version 2 ==
Addresses Vivek's review comments:
1. Don't force numeric in awk script snipet.
2. Command line processing is moved from load_kernel to new function
"prepare_cmdline." This new function is responsible for
setting up the command line passed to KEXEC.
3. New function "append_cmdline" is added to append {argument,value}
pair to command line if argument is not already present.
== Version 1 ==
A recent patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/15/42) enables multiple
processors in the crash kernel.
To do this safely the crash kernel needs to know which CPU was the 1st
kernel BSP (bootstrap processor) so that the crash kernel will NOT send
the BSP an INIT. If the crash kernel sends an INIT to the 1st kernel
BSP, some systems may reset or hang.
The EFI spec doesn't require that any particular processor is chosen
as the BSP and the CPU (and its apic id) can change from one boot to
the next. Hence automating the selection of CPU to disable if the
system would panic is desired.
This patch updates the kdumpctl script to get the "initial apicid"
of CPU 0 in the first kernel and will pass this as the
"disable_cpu_apicid=" arguement to kexec if it wasn't explicitly
set in /etc/sysconfig/kdump KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND.
CPU 0 is chosen as it is the processor thats execute the OS
initialization
code and hence was the BSP as per x86 SDM (Vol 3a Section 8.4.)

Description of problem:
Previously with selinux in enforcing mode, could prevent ssh-keygen from
generating keys. Support for selinux policy for allowing applications to
access ssh-keygen for generating ssh keys was added in
selinux-policy-3.7.19-126.el6_2.6.
Solutions:
Because of the context was added for ssh key generation, so the keys were
generated without fliping from enforcing mode to permissive mode for ssh
key generation. This patch removes selinux code which switches between
enforcing and permissive modes.

If the system is configured fence kdump, we need to update kdump
initramfs if cluster or fence_kdump config is newer.
In RHEL7, cluster config is no longer keeping locally but stored
remotely. Fortunately we can use a pcs tool to retrieve the xml based
config and parse the last changed time from that.
/etc/sysconfig/fence_kdump is used to configure runtime arguments to
fence_kdump_send. So We have to pass the arguments to 2nd kernel.
When cluster config or /etc/sysconfig/fence_kdump is newer than local
kdump initramfs, we must rebuild initramfs to adapt changes in cluster.
For example:
Detected change(s) the following file(s):
cluster-cib /etc/sysconfig/fence_kdump
Rebuilding /boot/initramfs-xxxkdump.img

We only allow one instance of kdump service running at each time by
flock /var/lock/kdump which is opened as fd 9 in kdumpctl script.
However a leaking fd issue has been discovered by SELinux:
When executing a specific shell command (not the shell built-in but
provided by other packages, in this case - restorecon) in kdumpctl,
current shell will fork a new subshell for executing and
the subshell will inherit open fd 9 from parent shell. And SELinux
detects that subshell is holding the open fd and consider fd 9 is
leaked.
To avoid this kind of leaking, the most easy way seems to be breaking our
kdumpctl code out into two parts:
- A top level parent shell, which is only used to deal with the lock and
invoking the subshell below.
- A 2nd tier level subshell, which is closing the inherited open fd at
very first and doing the rest of the kdumpctl job. So that it isn't
leaking fd to its subshell when executing like restorecon, etc.
To be easy to understand, the callgraph is roughly like below:
[..]
--> open(9)
--> flock(9)
--> fork
--> close(9) <-- we close 9 right here
--> main() <-- we're now doing the real job
--> [..]
--> fork()
--> restorecon <-- we don't leak fd 9 to child process
--> [..]
--> [..]
As shown above, a wrapper main() is added as the 2nd tier level shell in
this kind of call model. So we can completely avoid leaking fd to
subshell.

There will be a race condition if multiple kdumpctl instances are
running at the same time.
By introducing a global mutex lock, only one instance can acquire this
lock and run, others will be waiting for the lock in queue. Now each
kdump instance will be run in serial order and there won't any race
condition.
This is a patch backported from RHEL6.

2nd kernel has very limited memory. Allocating huge pages will probably
trigger OOM. So let's remove hugepages and hugepagesz kernel parameters
for 2nd kernel when 1st kernel are using them.
If user wants huge pages cmdline in 2nd kernel, he/she can still specify
it through KERNEL_COMMANDLINE_APPEND in /etc/sysconfig/kdump.
This patch adds a new function remove_cmdline_param(). It takes a list
of kernel parameters as its arguments and remove them from given kernel
cmdline.
update:
1. Add description of remove_cmdline_param() per Vivek.
2. Remove_cmdline_param() will take kernel cmdline as $1, then strip it
and print the result.

Dracut root fs is always mounted, but it's not guaranteed to success
because we are in crash/kdump context. So selinux policy can not only
depends on chroot load_policy.
Per discussion with Vivek and Selinux people, relabel kdump files
when the service restart.
Currently only below cases are considerd:
1. target mounted in 1st kernel
2. target mounted as rw, if user mount it as 'ro' they will have to
relabel the files by themselves.
3. save path is not masked, this means if /var/crash is mount to another
disk which is different from dump target it will not visible to user
so user need manually relabel them.
4. only local filesystem based targets.
Tested on F19 machine.
Tested local fs dump and network dump along with different save path
to address above mentioned cases.
Vivek: use function name is_dump_target_configured
use getfattr -m "security.selinux" instead of ".*"
Daniel: use restorecon instead of chcon.
dyoung: keep minix in local fs list since it has not been deperacated yet.
Vivek: wrap is_dump_target_configured checking in function path_to_be_relabeled
dyoung: use awk instead of cut to print config value for different
space delimeters
dyoung: mute df error message: `df $_mnt/$_path 2>/dev/null`
For nfs restorecon, since it will be in 3.11 kernel, we can add it when it's
ok in Fedora.

mkdumprd call dracut to rebuilding kdump initrd, sometimes passing extra
dracut args is helpful. For example user can enable debug output with
--debug, --printsize to print roughly increased initramfs size by each module,
--omit-drivers to omit kernel modules, etc.
This patch enables dracut_args option for passing extra args to dracut.
Also it modifies add_dracut_arg() to treat a string with-in quote as single
string because for dracut options which has its own args, the args need to be
quoted and space seperated.
If add_dracut_arg() gets an string read from kdump.conf and if that string
contains double quotes, then while converting to positional parameters
those double quotes are not interpreted. Hence if /etc/kdump.conf contains
following.
dracut_args --add-drivers "driver1 driver2"
then add_dracut_args() sees following positional parameters
$1= --add-drivers
$2= "driver1
$3= driver2"
Notice, double quotes have been ignored and parameters have been broken
based on white space.
Modify add_dracut_arg() to look for parameters starting with " and
if one is found, it tries to merge all the next parameters till one
is found with ending double quote. Hence effectively simulating
following behavior.
$1= --add-drivers
$2= "driver1 driver2"
[v1->v2]: address quoted substring in dracut_args, also handle the leading
and ending spaces in substring.
[v2->v3]: fix dracut arguments seperator in kdump.conf.
[v3->v4]: improve changelog, thanks vivek.
[v4->v5]: make the manpage more verbose [vivek].
Tested with below dracut_args test cases:
1. dracut_args --add-drivers "pcspkr virtio_net" --omit-drivers "sdhci-pci hid-logitech-dj e1000"
2. dracut_args --add-drivers " pcspkr virtio_net " --omit-drivers "sdhci-pci hid-logitech-dj e1000"

Current blacklist option is different from the option in rhel6. In current
implementation blacklist just means omit the driver, but it should really
be preventing it being loaded in initramfs.
To keep consistent, just make the option as deprecated. User is suggested
to user dracut kernel cmdline rd.driver.blacklist instead.
