osbuild is a tool to build OS images. It uses bwrap to install packages
inside a sandbox/container. Since the kernel package recommends
kexec-tools which in turn recommends grubby, the installation order would
be grubby -> kexec-tools -> kernel. So we can use the kernel hook
92-crashkernel.install provided by kexec-tools to set up kernel
crashkernel for the target OS image. But in osbuild's case, there is no
current running kernel and running `uname -r` in the container/sandbox
actually returns the host kernel release. To set up kernel crashkernel for
the OS image built by osbuild, a different logic is needed.
We will check if kernel hook is running inside the osbuild container
then set up kernel crashkernel only if osbuild hasn't specified a
custome value. osbuild exposes [1] the container=bwrap-osbuild environment
variable. According to [2], the environment variable is not inherited down
the process tree, so we need to check /proc/1/environ to detect this
environment variable to tell if the kernel hook is running inside a
bwrap-osbuild container. After that we need to know if osbuild wants to use
custom crashkernel value. This is done by checking if /etc/kernel/cmdline
has crashkernel set [3]. /etc/kernel/cmdline is written before packages
are installed.

When kexec-tools updates the default crashkernel value, it will try to
reset the existing installed kernels including the currently running
kernel. So the running kernel could have different kernel cmdline
parameters from /proc/cmdline. When installing a kernel after updating
kexec-tools, /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/20-grub.install would be called
by kernel-install [1] which would use /proc/cmdline to set up new kernel's
cmdline. To address this special case, reset the new kernel's crashkernel
and fadump value to the value that would be used by running kernel after
rebooting by the installation hook. One side effect of this commit is it
would reset the installed kernel's crashkernel even currently running kernel
don't use the default crashkernel value after rebooting. But I think this
side effect is a benefit for the user.
The implementation depends on kernel-install which run the scripts in
/usr/lib/kernel/install.d passing the following arguments,
add KERNEL-VERSION $BOOT/MACHINE-ID/KERNEL-VERSION/ KERNEL-IMAGE [INITRD-FILE ...]
An concrete example is given as follows,
add 5.11.12-300.fc34.x86_64 /boot/e986846f63134c7295458cf36300ba5b/5.11.12-300.fc34.x86_64 /lib/modules/5.11.12-300.fc34.x86_64/vmlinuz
kernel-install could be started by the kernel package's RPM scriplet [2].
As mentioned in previous commit "try to reset kernel crashkernel when
kexec-tools updates the default crashkernel value", kdumpctl has difficulty
running in RPM scriptlet fore CoreOS. But rpm-ostree ignores all kernel hooks,
there is no need to disable the kernel hook for CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue. But a
collaboration between rpm-ostree and kexec-tools is needed [3] to take care
of this special case.
Note the crashkernel.default support is dropped.

kexec-tools could update the default crashkernel value.
When auto_reset_crashkernel=yes, reset kernel to new crashkernel
value in the following two cases,
- crashkernel=auto is found in the kernel cmdline
- the kernel crashkernel was previously set by kexec-tools i.e.
the kernel is using old default crashkernel value
To tell if the user is using a custom value for the kernel crashkernel
or not, we assume the user would never use the default crashkernel value
as custom value. When kexec-tools gets updated,
1. save the default crashkernel value of the older package to
/tmp/crashkernel (for POWER system, /tmp/crashkernel_fadump is saved
as well).
2. If auto_reset_crashkernel=yes, iterate all installed kernels.
For each kernel, compare its crashkernel value with the old
default crashkernel and reset it if yes
The implementation makes use of two RPM scriptlets [2],
- %pre is run before a package is installed so we can use it to save
old default crashkernel value
- %post is run after a package installed so we can use it to try to reset
kernel crashkernel
There are several problems when running kdumpctl in the RPM scripts
for CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue, for example, the lock can't be acquired by
kdumpctl, "rpm-ostree kargs" can't be run and etc.. So don't enable this
feature for CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue.
Note latest shellcheck (0.8.0) gives false positives about the
associative array as of this commit. And Fedora's shellcheck is 0.7.2
and can't even correctly parse the shell code because of the associative
array.

Rewrite kdumpctl reset-crashkernel KERNEL_PATH as
kdumpctl reset-crashkernel [--fadump=[on|off|nocma]] [--kernel=path_to_kernel] [--reboot]
This interface would reset a specific kernel to the default crashkernel value
given the kernel path. And it also supports grubby's syntax so there are the
following special cases,
- if --kernel not specified,
- use KDUMP_KERNELVER if it's defined in /etc/sysconfig/kdump
- otherwise use current running kernel, i.e. `uname -r`
- if --kernel=DEFAULT, the default boot kernel is chosen
- if --kernel=ALL, all kernels would have its crashkernel reset to the
default value and the /etc/default/grub is updated as well
--fadump=[on|off|nocma] toggles fadump on/off for the kernel provided
in KERNEL_PATH. If --fadump is omitted, the dump mode is determined by
parsing the kernel command line for the kernel(s) to update.
CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue needs to be treated as a special case because,
- "rpm-ostree kargs" is used to manage kernel command line parameters
so --kernel doesn't make sense and there is no need to find current
running kernel
- "rpm-ostree kargs" itself would prompt the user to reboot the system
after modify the kernel command line parameter
- POWER is not supported so we can assume the dump mode is always kdump
This interface will also be called by kexec-tools RPM scriptlets [1]
to reset crashkernel.
Note the support of crashkenrel.default is dropped.

grubby --info=kernel-path or --add-kernel=kernel-path accepts a kernel
path (e.g. /boot/vmlinuz-5.14.14-200.fc34.x86_64) instead of kernel release
(e.g 5.14.14-200.fc34.x86_64). So we need to know the kernel path given
a kernel release. Although for Fedora/RHEL, the kernel path is
"/boot/vmlinuz-<KERNEL_RELEASE>", a path kernel could also be
/boot/<machine-id>/<KERNEL_RELEASE>/vmlinuz. So the most reliable way to
find the kernel path given a kernel release is to use "grubby --info".
For osbuild, a kernel path may not yet exist but it's valid for
"grubby --update-kernel=KERNEL_PATH". For example, "grubby -info" may
output something as follows,
index=0
kernel="/var/cache/osbuild-worker/osbuild-store/tmp/tmp2prywdy5object/tree/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.10-100.fc34.x86_64"

There is no need to check if path like
/var/cache/osbuild-worker/osbuild-store/tmp/tmp2prywdy5object/tree/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.10-100.fc34.x86_64
physically exists.

This fixes word splitting issue with nmcli args. Current kexec-tools
scripts won't call nmcli with correct arguments when there are space in
network interface name.
nmcli expects multiple parameters, but get_nmcli_value_by_field only
accepts two params and depends on shell word splitting to split the
_nm_show_cmd into multiple params, which is very fragile.
So switch the param order, simplified this function and now multiple
params can be used properly.
And get_nmcli_connection_show_cmd_by_ifname returns multiple
nmcli params in a single variable, it depend on shell word splitting to
split the words when calling nmcli. But this is very fragile and break
easily when there are any special character in the connection path.
This function is only introduced to get and cache the nmcli command
which contains the "connection name".
Actually only cache the "connection path" is enough. Callers should
just call get_nmcli_connection_apath_by_ifname to cache the path, and
a new helper get_nmcli_field_by_conpath is introduced here to get value
from nmcli. This way "connection path" can contain any character.
Also get rid of another nmcli_cmd usage in
get_nmcli_connection_apath_by_ifname which stores multiple params in a
single bash variable separated by space.
