It's reported that kdump kernel failed to boot and can't dump vmcore
when crashkernel=192M and SME/SEV is active.
This is because swiotlb will be enabled and reserves 64M memory by
default on system with SME/SEV enabled. Then kdump kernel will be out of
memory after taking 64M away for swiotlb init.
So here add extra 64M memory to default crashkernel value so that kdump
kernel can function well as before. When doing that, search journalctl
for the "Memory Encryption Features active: AMD" to check if SME or SEV
is active. This line of log is printed out in kernel function as below
and the type SME is mutual exclusive with type SEV.
***:
arch/x86/mm/mem_encrypt.c:print_mem_encrypt_feature_info()
Note:
1) The conditional check is relying on journalctl log because I didn't
find available system interface to check if SEV is active. Even
though we can check if SME is active via /proc/cpuinfo. For
consistency, I take the same check for both SME and SEV by searching
journalctl.
2) The conditional check is relying on journalctl log, means it won't
work for crashkernel setting in anoconda because the installation
kernel doesn't have the SME/SEV setting. So customer need manually
run 'kdumpctl reset-crashkernel' to reset crashkernel to add the
extra 64M after OS installation.
3) We need watch the line of log printing in
print_mem_encrypt_feature_info() in kernel just in case people may
change it in the future.

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

This happens because when a system has a boot partition, grubby
automatically prefixes a path with "/boot". The current boot loader
entries used for tests already has the prefix "/boot" in the path and
prefixing a path again will cause the above problem.
grubby uses "mountpoint -q /boot" to tell if there is a boot partition.
This patch mocks mountpoint so grubby knows the boot loader entries
are for a system without a boot partition.
Note this patch also avoids another error seen in the setup phase of the
test "The param /boot/vmlinuz-xxx is incorrect". I believe this error is
a bug of "grubby --update-kernel" in testing mode because running the

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.

network dumping tests like nfs-kdump will fail out of memory when

2. installing the kernel-modules which contains the squashfs module in

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

installed"). Unfortunately it only installs the file system driver e.g.
xfs.
