We do not support dump to an encrypted disk now, so adding the functions to
error out if any of the dump target is encrypted.
This patch is based on the check resettable patches from BaoQuan which added
some dracut functions for iterating block devices.
Currently dracut support an encrypted rootfs, but it need interacive entering
passcode. It might be possible to use some keyfile to pass the key checking.
But let's fisrtly check and error out. In the future if there's such
requirement we can look into it that time.
Tested in F18 with encrypted root, encrypted disk other than root and
dump_to_rootfs with encrypted root.

Some Smart Array (hpsa/cciss) adapters don't support reset, we need
to disable kdump on those devices, like rhel6 did.
In this patch, the dump target is checked according to below
criteria if it's a block device.
If it's cciss disk but is resettbale, can be used as dump target.
If it's cciss disk but is not resettable, can not be used as dump
target.
If it's cciss disk and not resettable, but user set OVERRIDE_RESETTABLE
to 1 in /etc/sysconfig/kdump, can be taken as dump target. Because
user know the situation and want to have a try.
In this patch, added codes include 4 parts:
1)Add an option "override_resettable <0 | 1>" into kdump.conf, and
add related section into kdump.conf man page. In mkdumprd, will check
whether user has set a value, get that value if yes. By default, the
value is 0.
2)port utility functions from dracut-functions.sh.
3)The check_resettable function checks if dump target is a resettable
block device. This includes the case where default action dump_to_rootfs
is set.

We use function to pass stdout to a variable, like get_persistent_dev
but it will echo some error message and exit in some cases, instead of
redirect all the echo to stderr, this patch adds a function perror_exit
to fix this and simplify/cleanup related code.
Also add another function perror() for cases where no need to exit.

Current blacklist option is different from the option in rhel6. In current

Previously to_dev_name use blkid to get dev name from dump target,
but blkid can not handle UUID/LABEL with quotes so to_dev_name will
silently fail.
Because we enforce dump target being mounted before creating kdump
initrd, so change to use findmnt is fine. findmnt can handle input
params with quotes.
to_dev_name is not necessary anymore, just remove it.
Also there's another user of it is for checking if the dev is root
or not, here change to use findmnt for this as well.

We need fs dump target being mounted firstly before creating mkdumprd
This is because we want to get the mount options from kernel mountinfo
instead of simply mount it without considering mount options.
To avoid the filesystem being used by something other than kdump we
suggest them to mount it as 'ro', mkdumprd will remount it as 'rw' when
necessary and remount it back to 'ro'
In 2nd kernel kdump will still use 'rw' to mount it though.
Tested local read-only mounted fs dump.

ssh will send local stdin input to remote side, this cause trouble
when we call ssh in the loop of parsing kdump.conf.
Ie. if we specify both 'ssh' and 'core_collector' option in kdump.conf,
and put 'core_collector' behind 'ssh', there will be no chance to
handle 'core_collector' because in get_ssh_size() ssh eat all the later
input of the while loop.
Fix this by use /dev/null as stdin in get_ssh_size().

For devices with filesystem, udev /dev/disk/by-uuid/* links are usually
reliable. But one exception is multipath devices, child and top layer
device may have same uuid.
As dm devices maintain /dev/mapper/* as persistent names, so converting to
/dev/mapper/* firstly then try by-uuid/* and by-id/*
Also because user know better what's the persistent name we just document well
to suggest user use persistent name in kdump.conf. it's suggested to
to use lvm or multipath canonical names or uuid/label.

BZ: 817044
Harald suggested that we use --add kdumpbase instead of -m kdumpbsae. As
-m means only use modules specified on the command line. I am not sure
that kdump will ever know the list of modules it wants to use. It might
be a good idea to let dracut decide it based on --mount option.
Also start using --hostonly to make sure atleast our default dumping to
root disk always works.
I also noticed that with --add and --hostonly initramfs size came down. So
for the time being just bring down the initramfs size.
But it still looks big and this area will require more experimentation and
bug fixing to make sure we are generatiing optimal size images for kdump
purposes and get rid of bloat. I am just beginning to understand dracut,
so expect more churn in this area down the line from me.
I am posting this patch for the bz opened again F18. As it is reducing
initramfs size significantly, I think it is a good idea to commit it
in F17 branch also.
Following is image size comparision.
Dump to root disk.

vanilla compressed: 13MB
hostonly compressed: 7.5MB
