Newer s390 kernels support a command line size longer than 896

which might be utilized by tools like kexec. Older kernels have

non-zero number present and use that. If there isn't, we fallback
to the legacy command line size of 896 bytes.

util_lib/elf_info: harden parsing of printk buffer
The old printk mechanism (> v3.5.0 and < v5.10.0) had a fixed size
buffer (log_buf) that contains all messages. The location for the next
message is stored in log_next_idx. In case the log_buf runs full
log_next_idx wraps around and starts overwriting old messages at the
beginning of the buffer. The wraparound is denoted by a message with
msg->len == 0.
Following the behavior described above blindly is dangerous as e.g. a
memory corruption could overwrite (parts of) the log_buf. If the
corruption adds a message with msg->len == 0 this leads to an endless
loop when dumping the dmesg. Fix this by verifying that not wrapped
around before when it encounters a message with msg->len == 0.
While at it also verify that the index is within the log_buf and thus
guard against corruptions with msg->len != 0.
The same bug has been reported and fixed in makedumpfile [1].

[PATCH] print error when reading with unsupported compression
Currently makedumpfile only checks if the required compression algorithm
was enabled during build when compressing a dump but not when reading
from one. This can lead to situations where, one version of makedumpfile
creates the dump using a compression algorithm an other version of
makedumpfile doesn't support. When the second version now tries to, e.g.
extract the dmesg from the dump it will fail with an error similar to
# makedumpfile --dump-dmesg vmcore dmesg.txt
__vtop4_x86_64: Can't get a valid pgd.
readmem: Can't convert a virtual address(ffffffff92e18284) to physical address.
readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:ffffffff92e18284, size:390
check_release: Can't get the address of system_utsname.
makedumpfile Failed.
That's because readpage_kdump_compressed{_parallel} does not return
with an error if the page it is trying to read is compressed with an
unsupported compression algorithm. Thus readmem copies random data from
the (uninitialized) cachebuf to its caller and thus causing the error
above.
Fix this by checking if the required compression algorithm is supported
in readpage_kdump_compressed{_parallel} and print a proper error message
if it isn't.

[PATCH v2 3/3] use cycle detection when parsing the prink log_buf
The old printk mechanism (> v3.5.0 and < v5.10.0) had a fixed size
buffer (log_buf) that contains all messages. The location for the next
message is stored in log_next_idx. In case the log_buf runs full

Following the behavior described above blindly in makedumpfile is

to an endless loop when dumping the dmesg with makedumpfile appending
the messages up to the corruption over and over again to the output file
until file system is full. Fix this by using cycle detection and aboard
once one is detected.
While at it also verify that the index is within the log_buf and thus
guard against corruptions with msg->len != 0.

[PATCH v2 1/3] add generic cycle detection
In order to work makedumpfile needs to interpret data read from the
dump. This can cause problems as the data from the dump cannot be
trusted (otherwise the kernel wouldn't have panicked in the first
place). This also means that every loop which stop condition depend on
data read from the dump has a chance to loop forever. Thus add a generic
cycle detection mechanism that allows to detect and handle such
situations appropriately.
For cycle detection use Brent's algorithm [1] as it has constant memory
usage. With this it can also be used in the kdump kernel without the
danger that it runs oom when iterating large data structures.
Furthermore it only depends on some pointer arithmetic. Thus the
performance impact (as long as no cycle was detected) should be
comparatively small.

update kernel crashkernel in posttrans RPM scriptlet when updating kexec-tools
When doing in-place upgrading using leapp on x86_64, kdumpcl can't
acquire instance lock when running in %post RPM scriplet on x86_64,
localhost upgrade[1306]: /bin/kdumpctl: line 49: /var/lock/kdump: No such file or directory
localhost upgrade[1306]: kdump: Create file lock failed
and running "touch /var/lock/dkump" also fails with
"No such file or directory". Thus kdumpctl can't be run in %post
scriptlet. But kdumpctl can be run in %posttrans RPM scriplet.
Besides, it's better to update crashkernel after the kernel has been
updated. So let's update kernel crashkernel in the %posttrans
scriptlet which will be run in the end of a transaction i.e. after
the kernel has been updated.
Note for %posttrans scriptlet, "$1 == 1" means both installing a new
package and upgrading a package.

There is a mechanism to keep memory consumption minimum, i.e. equal
to trace_buf_size=1, until tracing by ftrace is actually started:
tracing: keep ring buffer to minimum size till used
73c5162aa3
Since ftrace is usually never used in the kdump 2nd kernel, the kdump
2nd kernel behaves in the same way with or without trace_buf_size=1.
So the issue which the patch want to solve never exists. Let's revert

fix the error of parsing the container environ variable for osbuild
The environment variable entries in /proc/[pid]/environ are separated by
null bytes instead of by spaces. Update the sed regex to fix this issue.
Note that,
1. this patch also fixes a issue which is kdumpctl would try to reset
crashkernel even osbuild has provided custom crashkernel value.
2. kernel hook 92-crashkernel.install installed by kexec-tools is
guaranteed to be ran by kernel-install. kexec-tools doesn't recommend
kernel so there is no guarantee kernel is installed after kexec-tools.
But dnf invokes kernel-install in the posttrans scriptlet (of kernel-core)
which is always ran after all packages including kexec-tools and kernel
in a dnf transaction.
3. To be able to do unit tests, the logic of reading environment variable
has been extracted as a separate function.

s390: handle R_390_PLT32DBL reloc entries in machine_apply_elf_rel()
Starting with gcc 11.3, the C compiler will generate PLT-relative function
calls even if they are local and do not require it. Later on during linking,
the linker will replace all PLT-relative calls to local functions with
PC-relative ones. Unfortunately, the purgatory code of kexec/kdump is
not being linked as a regular executable or shared library would have been,
and therefore, all PLT-relative addresses remain in the generated purgatory
object code unresolved. This in turn lets kexec-tools fail with
"Unknown rela relocation: 0x14 0x73c0901c" for such relocation types.
Furthermore, the clang C compiler has always behaved like described above
and this commit should fix the purgatory code built with the latter.
Because the purgatory code is no regular executable or shared library,
contains only calls to local functions and has no PLT, all R_390_PLT32DBL
relocation entries can be resolved just like a R_390_PC32DBL one.

set up kernel crashkernel for osbuild in kernel hook
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.

Author: Coiby Xu <coxu@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Dec 2 17:19:50 2021 +0800
reset kernel crashkernel for the special case where the kernel is updated right after kexec-tools
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.

try to reset kernel crashkernel when kexec-tools updates the default crashkernel value
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 reset_crashkernel to support fadump and to used by RPM scriptlet
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.

Author: Coiby Xu <coxu@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Dec 7 15:16:07 2021 +0800
add helper functions to get kernel path by kernel release and the path of current running kernel
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"

root="UUID=76a22bf4-f153-4541-b6c7-0332c0dfaeac"
initrd="/var/cache/osbuild-worker/osbuild-store/tmp/tmp2prywdy5object/tree/boot/initramfs-5.15.10-100.fc34.x86_64.img"
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.
Note these helper functions doesn't support CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue
since grubby isn't used by them.

ppc64/ppc64le: drop cpu online rule in 40-redhat.rules in kdump initramfs
Onlining secondary cpus breaks kdump completely on KVM on Power hosts
Though we use maxcpus=1 by default but 40-redhat.rules will bring up all
possible cpus by default.
Thus before we get the kernel fix and the systemd rule fix let's remove
the cpu rule in 40-redhat.rules for ppc64/ppc64le kdump initramfs.
This is back ported from RHEL, and original credit goes to Dave Young
