Steve found a bug. When mount a disk in /var and not specify path
in /etc/kdump.conf, the vmcore will be dumped into /var/crash of
that disk, but not /crash on that disk.
This is because when write the parsed path into /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
in default_dump_target_install_conf() of mkdumprd, it uses below
sed command. So if no path specified at all, this sed command won't
add it to /tmp/$$-kdump.conf. Then in 2nd kernel it will take default
path, namely "/var/crash" as path if no path in /etc/kdump.conf in
2nd kernel.
sed -i -e "s#$_save_path#$_path#" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
According to Dave Young's suggestion, erase the old path line and then
insert the parsed path. This can fix it.
v2->v3:
erase the old path line and then insert the parsed path.
sed -i -e "s#^path[[:space:]]\+$_save_path##" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
echo "path $_path" >> /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
v3->v4:
Change the sed pattern, erase lines starting with "path" and then
insert the parsed path.
sed -i -e "s#^path.*##" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
echo "path $_path" >> /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
v4->v5:
Chaowang suggested using sed command d to remove the whole line
like below:
sed -i "/^path/d" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
echo "path $_path" >> /tmp/$$-kdump.conf

Chao pointed out that it's better to use get_option_value to get
get a specific config_val.
And also there's a potential risk when use below sed command to
do the replacement.
sed -i -e "s#$_save_path#$_path#" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
Say user configure kdump.conf like the following. Then sed may
replace "/var/crash/post.sh" with something else, depanding on
mount point.
kdump_post /var/crash/post.sh
path /var/crash
So in this patch clean them up.

Jerry Hoemann reported a bug that a mount will fail when he installed
a system with separate "/" "/var" and "/var/crash". That means root
disk /dev/a mounted on /, and another disk /dev/b is mounted on /var,
then the 3rd disk /dev/c mounted on /var/crash. Then kdump will fail
since mount will fail.
This is because the mount information will be written into
/$mntimage/etc/fstab like below. And the dump target is /dev/c. However
/dev/b is not related in kdump, its mount info is not necessary and not
saved. So when go into kdump kernel, it will find there's not a crash
dir under /sysroot/var. And in current implementation, if not a root
disk dump, sysroot is a read-only mount, no dir can be created in this
situation.
/dev/disk/by-uuid/cdcf007a-b623-45ee-8d73-a8be0d372440 /sysroot/var/crash xfs rw,relatime,...,x-initrd.mount 0 2
So in this patch, change the mount behavior to fix this bug. If dump
target is a root disk, mount point is /sysroot. If dump target is not
root, just mount it to /kdumproot/$_target. Now it works.

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
in the local ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Hence dumping core will fail.
In order to login automaticly using ssh, we should add the prefix
"kdump-" before ethX in the local ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

For ethX, it may fail to setup the network in the 2nd kernel due to the
mapping of ethernet device name and MAC changes.
The commit(ba7660f37e) has fixed this
issue by add the prefix "kdump-" before ethX. But the network will fail
to work in the static route mode because of this commit.
Here is the config which is used to setup the static route:
rd.route=192.168.201.215:192.168.200.137:eth1
Obviously, the static route config comtains the ethX. But the network
device names kdump-ethX in the 2nd kernel, so the static route config
will fail to execute. To fix it, we should identify the network device.
Add the prefix "kdump-" before the ethX in the static route config to
setup it successfully in the 2nd kernel.

Previously for solving static route issues, all routes which go
through a specific dev will be saved in 1st kernel, and then added
in 2nd kernel. Because we use below search pattern, an exception
will happen:
/sbin/ip route show | grep -v default | grep "^[[:digit:]].*via.* $_netdev"
That exception is a corner case which happened when 2 machines connected
directly by cable and the 2 network interfaces are configured in
different network subnets. E.g there are 2 machines A and B:
A:ens10 < ------ > B:ens9
A:ens10 inet 192.168.100.111/24 scope global ens10
route need be added in A:
192.168.110.0/24 dev ens10
B:ens9 inet 192.168.110.222/24 scope global ens9
route need be added in B
192.168.100.0/24 dev ens9
Now if A want to dump to B, the route "192.168.110.0/24 dev ens10"
has to be saved and added in 2nd kernel.
So in this patch "ip route get to $target" command is executed, then
an exact route can be got for going to that target. By this, static
route works and the corner case can be fixed too.

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

Remove this package and put eppic_makedumpfile.so and its sample

makedumpfile does dlopen() on eppic_makedumpfile.so and that does not
enforce any choice. One could either ship it in kexec-tools package or

The real reason was that code for eppic_makedumpfile.so
(extension_eppic.c) and some eppic scripts are in upstream makedumpfile
project. And that project is distributed as part of kexec-tools package.
Now breaking down that makedumpfile in two parts and shipping all

everytime we did some changes.

In case of iscsi boot, kernel cmdline will contain ip=xxx kernel
parameter for dracut setting up iscsi root in initramfs. For example:
"root=xxx ip=192.168.3.26:::255.255.255.0:localhost.localdomain:eno19:none ..."
dracut doesn't allow duplicate ip conf for the same network card. dracut
will not ignore the either of the duplicate. Instead, it refuses to
continue:
[ 15.876306] dracut: FATAL: For argument 'ip=192.168.3.26:::255.255.255.0:localhost.localdomain:eno19:none'\n
Duplication configurations for 'eno19'
[ 16.055513] dracut: Refusing to continue ev argument for multiple ip= lines
That's why in our code we don't add a duplicate ip conf when handling
the same network card the second time. But we never consider the case
that ip conf is already added in kernel cmdline for some special
purpose, for example, iscsi boot.
Now we also look up /proc/cmdline for ip conf. If it exists, we use the
existing one. The existing one should work out of box because dracut
will handle it in second kernel like it does for first kernel. That
said, the network card will be brought up and root disk will be mounted
under /sysroot.

This patch changes restart of kdump service from cpu online/offline events
to cpu add/remove events.
Some people have complained that they are running cpu online/offline tests
at high frequency and kdump restarts at high frequency and systemd disables
the service. As a temporary fix, we committed a patch to never disable
kdump service.
In general it probably is a good idea to restart kdump service on cpu
add/remove events.
Toshi Kani confirmed following.
- File for /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/crash_notes will be created first
before ADD event goes out. That means we can not miss creating EFL notes
for newly created cpu.
- For REMOVE event files under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/ are removed
first and then REMOVE event goes out. That means we will remove the elf
note header for removed cpu.
- There are some race conditions like a cpu is removed but system crashes
before kdump service restarts. In that case vmcore.c has to be more robust
to be able to inspect elf notes and discard empty ones.
Also it is possible that after cpu remove, crash notes memory got reused
for something else and after crash vmcore.c might see some random data.
It does basic size checks and discards elf notes if checks don't pass.
Above rance conditions can happen even with OFFLINE event and there is
no good way to remove these altogether. So making vmcore.c more robust
is the right solution here.

kexec: Provide an option to use new kexec system call
Hi,
This is v2 of the patch. Since v1, I moved syscall implemented check littler
earlier in the function as per the feedback.
Now a new kexec syscall (kexec_file_load()) has been merged in upstream
kernel. This system call takes file descriptors of kernel and initramfs
as input (as opposed to list of segments to be loaded). This new system
call allows for signature verification of the kernel being loaded.
One use of signature verification of kernel is secureboot systems where
we want to allow kexec into a kernel only if it is validly signed by
a key system trusts.
This patch provides and option --kexec-file-syscall (-s), to force use of
new system call for kexec. Default is to continue to use old syscall.
Currently only bzImage64 on x86_64 can be loaded using this system call.
As kernel adds support for more arches and for more image types, kexec-tools
can be modified accordingly.
