That commit is trying to workaround a kernel VFS bug. Now,
the VFS issue should have been fixed in all recent releases, so
remove this workaround.

[PATCH] make use of 'uts_namespace.name' offset in VMCOREINFO
* Required for kernel 5.11
The offset of the field 'init_uts_ns.name' has changed since
kernel commit 9a56493f6942 ("uts: Use generic ns_common::count").
Make use of the offset 'uts_namespace.name' if available in
VMCOREINFO.

Currently, if saving vmcore failed, the final failure information won't
be saved to the kexec-dmesg.log, because the action of saving the log
occurs before the final log is printed, it has no chance to save the
log(marked it with the '^^^' below) to the log file(kexec-dmesg.log).
For example:
[1] console log:
[ 3.589967] kdump[453]: saving vmcore-dmesg.txt to /sysroot//var/crash/127.0.0.1-2020-11-26-14:19:17/

[ 3.633923] kdump[460]: saving vmcore
[ 3.661020] kdump[465]: saving vmcore failed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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.

The parameter either6 is introduced to dracut by

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.
