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.

This reverts commit 2f4149f276.
It is not proved to be right to get auto6 or dhcpv6 in 1st kernel,
pingfan is working on a dracut fix to do some fallback in 2nd kernel initramfs.
So revert this commit
For ppc64(le), the default behavior of kexec always copy "root=" param,
but if dump target is ssh, there will no tools installed in kdump
rd, which help to mount root. As a result, kdump service will fail to
start. So explicitly disable the default behavior with --dt_no_old_root
option.

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.
We do not see bug reports before because for the most auto6 cases
kernel assign ip address before dhclient, kdump just happened to work.
Here we use auto6 if possible first. And we take the assumption that
host use auto6 if /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/$netdev/autoconf is enabled

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.

commit 5ce7cc7337a4c769b223152c083914f2052aa348

Date: Mon Jul 10 13:28:40 2017 +0200
add 90multipath-hostonly module
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.

After reading the background of bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1510922
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
possible to trick root to call fake code.
Thus move to use absolute path instead.

Currently in Fedora/RedHat dracut installs its fedora.conf.example
as the default config file, in which sysloglvl is set 5. This leads
to maxloglvl=5 in dracut calls, making unnecessary lsinitrd calls
during initramfs builds by kdump.
This patch makes use of
https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/272
and disables lsinitrd logging by giving "-q" option to dracut,
eliminating unnecessary lsinitrd calls in dracut.

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.

Currently kdump service is restarted even when any new file is added in cpu
subsystem. So, it can be restarted multiple times in the cases like loading
of acpi_cpufreq module or online/offline of any cpu.
However, we should see kdump service restart only once in case a new CPU
is added or removed. cpu crash notes buffer is created when a new CPU is
added. It's location does not change when a CPU is onlined/offlined or
acpi_cpufreq driver is loaded. Therefore, no need to restart kdump
service in such cases.
Thus, we need to introduce an extra filter for the kernel name of the
directory created by cpu_add which is KERNEL=="cpu[0-9]*". This will ensure
that kdump service is not restarted when any new file is added in /removed
from cpu subsystem.
