To track and manage kernel's crashkernel usage by kernel version,
each kernel package will include a crashkernel.default containing the
default `crashkernel=` value of that kernel. So we can use a hook to
update the kernel cmdline of new installed kernel accordingly.
Put it after all other grub boot loader setup hooks, so it can simply

In case of fadump, the initramfs image has to be built to boot into
the production environment as well as to offload the active crash dump
to the specified dump target (for boot after crash). As the same image
would be used for both boot scenarios, it could not be built optimally
while accommodating both cases.
Use --include to include the initramfs image built for offloading
active crash dump to the specified dump target. Also, introduce a new
out-of-tree dracut module (99zz-fadumpinit) that installs a customized
init program while moving the default /init to /init.dracut. This
customized init program is leveraged to isolate fadump image within
the default initramfs image by kicking off default boot process
(exec /init.dracut) for regular boot scenario and activating fadump
initramfs image, if the system is booting after a crash.
If squash is available, ensure default initramfs image is also built
with squash module to reduce memory consumption in capture kernel.

[PATCH] check for invalid physical address of /proc/kcore when making ELF dumpfile
Previously when executing makedumpfile with -E option against
/proc/kcore, makedumpfile will fail:
# makedumpfile -E -d 31 /proc/kcore kcore.dump
...
write_elf_load_segment: Can't convert physaddr(ffffffffffffffff) to an offset.
makedumpfile Failed.
It's because /proc/kcore contains PT_LOAD program headers which have
physaddr (0xffffffffffffffff). With -E option, makedumpfile will
try to convert the physaddr to an offset and fails.
Skip the PT_LOAD program headers which have such physaddr.

The wrapper is introduced in commit 002337c, according to the commit
message, the only usage of the wrapper is when dracut-initqueue calls
"systemctl start emergency" directly. In that case, emergency
is started, but not in a isolation mode, which means dracut-initqueue
is still running. On the other hand, emergency will call
"systemctl start 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.
In previous commit we added initqueue status detect in dump_to_rootfs,
so now even without the wrapper, it will not hang.
And actually, previously, with the wrapper, emergency might still hang
for like 30s. When dracut called emergency service because initqueue
timed out, dump_to_rootfs will try start initqueue again and timeout
again. Now with the wrapper removed, we can avoid these two kinds of
hangs, bacause without the isolation we can detect initqueue service
status correctly in such case.
Also remove the invalid header comments in service file, the service
is not part of systemd code. And sync the service spec with dracut.

network-manager module only install "settled" hook, and we didn't

#define find_vmemmap() stub_false()
As a result, on the architectures other than x86_64, the -e option
does some unnecessary processing with no effect, and marks the dump
DUMP_DH_EXCLUDED_VMEMMAP unexpectedly.
Also, the functions for the -e option return COMPLETED or FAILED,
which are for command return value, not for function return value.
So let's fix the issue by following the common style that returns
TRUE or FALSE, and avoid confusion.

'maxcpus' setting normally don't work on several kdump enabled systems
due to a known udev issue.
Currently the fedora kdump configuration is set as the following on the
aarch64 systems:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/kdump
<..snip..>
# This variable lets us append arguments to the current kdump
# commandline after processed by KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_REMOVE
# KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND="irqpoll maxcpus=1 reset_devices"
<..snip..>
Since the 'maxcpus' setting doesn't limit the number of SMP CPUs,
so the kdump kernel still boots with all CPUs available on the system.
For e.g on the qualcomm amberwing its 46 CPUs:
# lscpu
Architecture: aarch64
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 46
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-45
Thread(s) per core: 1
Core(s) per socket: 46
Socket(s): 1
NUMA node(s): 1
Vendor ID: Qualcomm
Model: 1
Model name: Falkor
Stepping: 0x0
CPU max MHz: 2600.0000
CPU min MHz: 600.0000
BogoMIPS: 40.00
L1d cache: 32K
L1i cache: 64K
L2 cache: 512K
L3 cache: 58880K
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-45
Flags: fp asimd evtstrm aes pmull sha1 sha2 crc32 cpuid asimdrdm
This causes the memory consumption in the kdump kernel to swell up and
we can end up having OOM issues in the kdump kernel boot.
Whereas if we use 'nr_cpus=1' in the bootargs, the number of SMP CPUs in
the kdump kernel get limited to 1.
The 'swiotlb=noforce' setting in bootargs provide us extra guarding, to
ensure the crash kernel size requirements do not swell on systems
which support swiotlb.
With the above settings, crashkernel boots properly (without OOM) on all
the aarch64 boards I could test on - qualcomm amberwings, hp-moonshots
and hpe-apache (thunderx2) for crash dump saving on local disk.

On powerpc, after hot add cpu and trigger crash on the hot-added cpu, the
kdump kernel hangs after "I'm in purgatory".
The current udev rules expects the dtb to be rebuit on cpu add/remove event.
But since powerpc does not follow the standard cpu hot add framework, it
only ejects online/offline event to user space when cpu is hot
added/removed, instead of add/remove event. Pingfan tried fixing that but
it didn't please the maintainer as it breaks some old userspace tools.
Due to the failure of dtb's rebuilding, KDump kernel fails to get the
'boot_cpuid' and eventually fails to boot [see early_init_dt_scan_cpus() in
arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c file] if system crashes on hot-added CPU.
Work around it by changing udev rules on powerpc to onlne/offline.
As for offline message, it is even useless on powerpc, and can be dropped.
See the explain: On powerpc, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX nodes are present
for all "possible", irrespective of whether a CPU is hot-added/removed.
crash_notes are already built for all /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX nodes and
these nodes are present for all "possible" CPUs

eppic project have moved to github, update to latest upstream snapshot,
change source link and tar file naming style to fit github's URL format.
This fix the O0 warning reported by annocheck and passes all distro package
flag checking.

Backport the patches required to make the hardening build flags work with
kexec-tools and makedumpfile, and enabld hardening flags in spec file.
This will make the pacakge pass all warnings for kexec and makedumpfile
reported by annocheck.
Didn't find any issue with basic tests with kexec and makedumpfile.
