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
package install and upgrade.

Currently, kdump doesn't work on many FIPS-enabled systems including
Azure, ESXI, Hyper, POWER and etc. When FIPS is enabled, it needs to
access /boot//.vmlinuz-xxx.hmac to verify the integrity of the kernel.
However, on those systems, /boot fails to be mounted due to a lack of
fs and block device drivers and the system just halted after failing to
verify the integrity of the kernel. For example, on Hyper-V, sd_mod, sg,
scsi_transport_fc, hv_storvsc and hv_vmbus need to be installed in order
for /boot to be mounted.
mkdumprd calls dracut with the --no-hostonly-default-device. Following
the documentation (man dracut),
--no-hostonly-default-device
Do not generate implicit host devices like root, swap, fstab, etc.
Use "--mount" or "--add-device" to explicitly add devices as needed
this patch uses "--add-device" to explicitly add the device of /boot.
Note there is already an attempt to fix it in dracut's 01fips module
i.e. via the commit 83651776 ("fips: ensure fs module for /boot is
installed"). Unfortunately it only installs the file system driver e.g.

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.

This is because nfsv4-releted drivers are not installed to kdump initrd.
mkdumprd calls dracut with "--hostonly-mode strict". If nfsv4-related
drivers aren't loaded before calling dracut, they won't be installed.
When users specify nfs dumping via dracut_args, kexec-tools won't mount
the nfs fs beforehand hence nfsv4-related drivers won't be installed.
Note dracut only installs the nfs driver i.e. nfsv3 driver for "--mount
... nfs". So also install nfsv4-related drivers when users specify nfs
dumping via dracut_args. Since nfs_layout_nfsv41_files depends on nfsv4,
the nfsv4 driver will be installed automatically.
As for the reason why we support nfs dumping via dracut_args instead of
asking user to use the nfs directive, please refer to commit 74c6f464

In theory this can even lead to bugs. For example consider the case when

This is because the loopback interface is used for transferring vmcore and
ethtool can't get the driver of the loopback interface. In fact, once
COFNIG_NET is enabled, the loopback device is enabled and there is no driver
for the loopback device. So skip installing driver for the loopback device.
The loopback interface is implemented in linux/drivers/net/loopback.c
and always has the name "lo". So we can safely tell if a network
interface is the loopback interface by its name.

Latest Workstation live x86_64 image has an excess increase of ~300 MB
in size. This is because kdumpbase module's trap handler overwrites
dracut's handler and DRACUT_TMPDIR which has three unpacked initramfs
files fails to be cleaned up. This patch moves kdumpbase module's
temporary folder under DRACUT_TMPDIR and lets dracut's trap handler do
the cleanup instead.

With kernel commit 607451ce0aa9b ("powerpc/fadump: register for fadump
as early as possible"), 'kdumpctl start' prematurely returns with the
below message:
"Kdump already running: [WARNING]"
instead of setting default initrd with dump capture capability as
required for fadump. Skip status check in fadump mode to avoid this
problem.

Kdump service will create fadump initramfs when needed, but it won't
clean up the fadump initramfs on kernel uninstall. So create a kernel
install hook to do the clean up job.

In case of fadump, default initrd is rebuilt with dump capturing
capability, as the same initrd is used for booting production kernel
as well as capture kernel.
The original initrd file is backed up with a checksum, to restore
it as the default initrd when fadump is disabled. As the checksum
file is not kernel version specific, switching between different
kernel versions and kdump/fadump dump mode breaks the default initrd
backup/restore logic. Fix this by having a kernel version specific
checksum file.
Also, if backing up initrd fails, retaining the checksum file isn't
useful. Remove it.

If available, use 'zstd' compression method to optimize the size of
the initrd built with fadump support. Also, 'squash+zstd' is not
preferred because more disk space is consumed with 'squash+zstd' due
to the additional binaries needed for fadump with squash case.
