Currently, when generating a kdump initramfs, mkdumprd will determine
how much disk space is available, if the dump target's available space
is not greater than the total system memory, mkdumprd will print a
warning to remind that there might not be enough space to save a vmcore.
Some users are complaining that mkdumprd overestimates the needed size.
But actually, the warning covers extreme scenarios such as the slab
explodes with non-zero data or a full vmcore, etc. Therefore, need to
prevent users from having minimum disk space for crash dump.
In view of this, add some descriptions to clarify it in mkdumprd man
page.

If dracut-initqueue failed in kdump kernel and failure action
is set to dump_to_rootfs, there is no point try again to start the
initqueue. It will also slow down the dump process, and the initqueue
will most like still not work if first attemp failed.
So just try to start sysroot.mount, if it failed, there is no luck.

The parameter either6 is introduced to dracut by
commit 67354eebbcd4c358b8194ba5fd1ab1cf7dbd42aa
Author: Pingfan Liu <piliu@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Apr 24 16:41:21 2018 +0800
40network: introduce ip=either6 option
But it turns out needless.
On a sensible ipv6 network environment, DHCPv6 can not work properly alone,
because DHCPv6 protocol has no info about the gateway.
An reasonalbe process of ipv6 address set up should look like
host send: Router Solicitation
router reply: Router Advertisements
"Router Advertisements" carries many info like gateway, and if it has
other-config flag set, it carries DNS info etc. As for DHCPv6 address
allocation, it will only start if "Router Advertisements" has the 'managed'
flag set, which directs the host to start a stateful address allocation
from DHCPv6 server.

Currently get_bind_mount_source will not work on btrfs, that's because
this function relies on findmnt to detect bind mount.
For a bind mount, findmnt will return different value with "-v" option.
For example, we have /dev/sdc mounted on /mnt/source, and then bind
mount /mnt/source/sub/path to /mnt/bind:
$ findmnt /mnt/bind
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/mnt/bind /dev/sdc[/sub/path] ext4 rw,relatime,seclabel
$ findmnt -v /mnt/bind
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/mnt/bind /dev/sdc ext4 rw,relatime,seclabel
But findmnt also return similiar result for btrfs, on a fresh installed
Fedora 33:
$ findmnt /
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ /dev/sdb7[/root] btrfs rw,relatime,seclabel,ssd,space_cache,subvolid=256,subvol=/root
$ findmnt -v /
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ /dev/sdb7 btrfs rw,relatime,seclabel,ssd,space_cache,subvolid=256,subvol=/root
The [...] indicator will contain the subvol of btrfs as well. And if
it's bind mounted under btrfs, it will contain a mixup of btrfs subvol
and the actuall fsroot.
And also, if the bind mount source device is not mounted on /,
get_bind_mount_source will also not work.
So rewrite the get_bind_mount_source function, make it work in every
cases.
Tested with:
- Silverblue's bind mount
- Bind mount with source device mounted not under /
- Btrfs
- Bind mount and source device is Btrfs

Remove the --real when calling findmnt.
The option is only useful in capture kernel, to avoid
`findmnt` returning the pseudo 'rootfs' for non mounted path.
example, when /kdumproot/mnt/ is not mounted:
kdump:/# findmnt --target /kdumproot/mnt
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ rootfs rootfs rw,size=61368k,nr_inodes=15342
kdump:/# findmnt --target /kdumproot/mnt
<return 1 and empty output>
But this function will make findmnt also return empty value for bind
mount. So remove it and add an extra if statement for second kernel.

Most watchdogs have a parameter pretimeout, if set to non-zero, it means
before the watchdog really reset the system, it will try to panic the
kernel first, so kdump could kick in, or, just print a panic stacktrace
and then kernel should reset it self.
If we are already in kdump kernel, this is not really helpful, only
increase kernel hanging chance. And it also make thing become complex
as some watchdog triggers the kernel panic in NMI context, which
could also hang the kernel in strange ways, and fail the watchdog it
self. So just disable this parameter.
Also for hpwdt, it have another parameter kdumptimeout, which is
just designed for first kernel. The default behaviour is the watchdog
will simply stop working if timeouted, trigger a panic, and leave the
kernel to kdump. Again, if we are already in kdump this is not helpful.
So also disable that.

The dracut module is opportunistic about using the built-in squashfs
support only when available, but the spec file hard requires it. Demote
it to a weak dep to truly make it optional.
This caters to environments which strive to stay minimal, like FCOS and
RHCOS. See https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-config/pull/708 for
details.
Because otherwise, `kdumpctl start` will fail anyway. This makes it
easier to enable kdump by simply adding the mandatory karg and leaving
the service enabled.
This reverts commit fa8aa52d94.

Instead of read and parse the kdump.conf multiple times, only read once
and use a single loop to handle the error check, which is faster.
Also check for any duplicated config otion, and error out if there are
duplicated ones.
Now it checks for following errors, most are unchanged from before:
- Any duplicated config options. (New added)
- Deprecated/Invalid kdump config option.
- Duplicated kdump target, will have a different error message of
other duplicated config options.
- Duplicated --mount options in dracut_args.
- Empty config values. All kdump configs should be in
"<config_opt> <config_value>" format.
- Check If raw target is used in fadump mode.
And removed detect of lines start with space, it will not break kdump
anyway.
