Currently, when kexec-tools is installed, the kernel will automatically
have the crashkernel parameter set up. In the case where users only want
the kexec reboot feature, this is not what users want as a 1G-RAM system
will lose 192M memory. Considering Fedora's systemd preset policy has
kdump.service disabled and RHEL' has kdump.service enabled, this patch
makes kexec-tools only reset crashkernel when kdump.service is enabled.

Kernel signing key is deleted once kdump is loaded. This causes confusion in

kdumpctl script works, it is difficult to find out how kdump could be
loaded when there is no key on .ima keyring.

With multiple kernel variants on the same architecture, e.g. the 4k and
64k kernel on aarch64, we can no longer assume that the crashkernel
value for the currently running kernel will work for all installed
kernels. This also means that we can no longer update the grub config as
we don't know which value to set it to. Thus get the crashkernel value
for each kernel and stop updating the grub config.

The size of the reserved memory in the functions show_reserved_mem,
check_crash_mem_reserved, and do_estimate are fetched from the sysfs
node `/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size`. However, in the case of fadump,
the reserved area size is instead present in
/sys/kernel/fadump/mem_reserved.
For example:
$ kdumpctl showmem
kdump: Dump mode is fadump
kdump: Reserved 0MB memory for crash kernel
The above command showed 0MB for Reserved memory which is incorrect, the
actual reservation was 2048MB.
To resolve this issue a new helper function is introduced to fetch
reserved memory size based on the dump mode. For "fadump" mode,
it looks in `/sys/kernel/fadump/mem_reserved`, otherwise, it uses
`/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size`. And all functions that previously
fetching reserved memory directly from `/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size`
sysfs node are now updated to use this new function to get the reserved
memory size.
With the fix in place, the `kdumpctl showmem` command will now display
correct reserved memory size.

Currently, kexec-tools only updates the crashkernel to a new default
value only when both two conditions are met,
- auto_reset_crashkernel=yes in kdump.conf
- existing kernels or current running kernel should use the old default
value.
To address seen corner cases, the logic to tell if the second condition
is met becomes quite complex. Instead of making the logic more complex
to support aarch64-64k, this patch drops the second condition to
simplify the management of the crashkernel kernel parameter.
Another change brought by this simplification is kexec-tools will also
set up the kernel crashkernel parameter for a fresh install (previously
it's limited to osbuild).
Note
1. This patch also stop trying to update /etc/default/grub because
a) it only affects the static file /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
b) grubby is recommended to change the kernel command-line parameters
for both Fedora [1] and RHEL9 [2][3]
c) For the cases of aarch64 and POWER, different kernels could have
different default crashkernel value.
2. Starting with Fedora 37, posttrans rpm scriplet distinguish between

A Unified Kernel Image (UKI) is a single EFI PE executable combining an
EFI stub, a kernel image, an initrd image, and the kernel command line.
They are defined in the Boot Loader Specification [1] as type #2
entries. UKIs have the advantage that all code as well as meta data that
is required to boot the system, not only the kernel image, is combined
in a single PE file and can be signed for EFI SecureBoot. This extends
the coverage of SecureBoot extensively.
For RHEL support for UKI were included into kernel-ark with 16c7e3ee836e
("redhat: Add sub-RPM with a EFI unified kernel image for virtual
machines").
There are two problems with UKIs from the kdump point of view at the
moment. First, they cannot be directly loaded via kexec_file_load and
second, the initrd included isn't suitable for kdump. In order to enable
kdump on systems with UKIs build the kdump initrd as usual and extract
the kernel image before loading the crash kernel.

Decrease the risk that of leaking information that could potentially
be used to exploit the crash further (think location of keys).

"grubby --zipl" only takes effect when setting default kernel. It's
useless to add "--zipl" when updating kernel command line. Also rename
_update_grub to _update_kernel_cmdline since s390x doesn't use GRUB.

When running "kdumpctl reset-crashkernel --kernel=ALL" on s390x,
sed: can't read /etc/default/grub: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /etc/default/grub: No such file or directory
This happens because s390x doesn't use the grub bootloader and
/etc/default/grub doesn't exist.

Currently, kexec-tools can't be updated using virt-customize because
older version of kdumpctl can't acquire instance lock for the
get-default-crashkernel subcommand. The reason is /var/lock is linked to
/run/lock which however doesn't exist in the case of virt-customize.
This patch fixes this problem by using /tmp/kdump.lock as the lock
file if /run/lock doesn't exist.
Note
1. The lock file is now created in /run/lock instead of /var/run/lock since
Fedora has adopted adopted /run [2] since F15.
2. %pre scriptlet now always return success since package update won't
be blocked

Currently, kdump may experience failure on some aws aarch64 platform.
The final scenario is:
[ 79.145089] printk: console [ttyS0] disabled
Then the system has no response any more. And after reboot, there is no
vmcore generated under /var/crash/. More detail [1].
In a short word, it is caused by the irqpoll policy and some unknown
acpi issue. The serial device is hot-removed as a pci device.
More detailed, the irqpoll policy demands to iterate over all interrupt
handler, if the interrupt line is shared, then the handler is
dispatched. And acpi handler acpi_irq() is on a shared interrupt line,
so it is called. But for some unknown reason, the acpi hardware regs
hold wrong state, and the acpi driver decides that a hot-removed event
happens on a pci slot, which finally removes the pci serial device.
To tackle this issue by removing the irqpoll parameter on aws aarch64
platform, until the real root cause in acpi is found and resolved.
