If dracut watchdog module is enabled then, it includes kernel watchdog
module of active watchdog device in initramfs.
kdump.conf has an option to modify dracut_args. So, if an user passes "-a
watchdog" in dracut_args then dracut will add kernel watchdog module of
active watchdog device in initramfs.
Since, kexec-tools always requires to add kernel watchdog module of active
watchdog device in initramfs, therefore even when an user does not pass any
watchdog option and there exists at least one active watchdog device then
also kexec-tools adds "-a watchdog" in dracut args.
Therefore, if an user does not want to add kernel watchdog module in
initramfs then the person must pass "-o watchdog" in dracut_args.

Resolves: BZ1348898
dracut-functions.sh defines a get_persistent_dev(). Earlier, we had another
local get_persistent_dev() in mkdumprd, however that was moved to
kdump-lib.sh, so that it can be reused in kdumpctl.
Since, dracut-module-setup.sh (which is dracut's
99kdumpbase/module-setup.sh) sources kdump-lib.sh. Therefore, once dracut
will execute 99kdumpbase module, it's own get_persistent_dev() function is
overwritten by kdump's version. If any other dracut module calls
get_persistent_dev() thereafter then, kdump's version is executed, which was
not expected.
Therefore rename kdump's get_persistent_dev() as kdump_get_persistent_dev()
to avoid any name contention.

Customer found when specify "noauto" option in fstab for nfs mount,
dump failed.
The reason is if "noauto" option is specified in fstab, the mount entry
in fstab related to dump target will passed to dracut and stored in
kdump initrd. Then during kdump kernel boots this entry containing
"noauto" will be ignored by mount service. This cause dump failing.
In fact with "noauto" not only nfs dump will fail, non-root disk dump
will fail too. root disk dump can dump successfully since root disk can
always be mounted by systemd.
So now "noauto" need be filtered out when the fstab entry corresponding
to dump target contains "noauto".

kdump will raise the warning in Atomic, if the path is bind mounted
directory. The reason why causes this issue is kdump cannt parse the
bind mounted directory.
To correct dumping target, we can construct the real dumping path in
Atomic, which contains two part, one bind mounted path, the other
specified dump target.
Following is an example:
-bash-4.2# cat /etc/kdump.conf | grep ^path
path /var/crash
-bash-4.2# findmnt /var | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'
/dev/mapper/atomicos-root[/ostree/deploy/rhel-atomic-host/var]
-bash-4.2# findmnt -v /var | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'
/dev/mapper/atomicos-root
Then we can found it that the real path of dumping vmcore is
/ostree/deploy/rhel-atomic-host/var/crash.
To fix this issue, we can replace the target path as the real path which
is from above parsing.

Any block device can be mounted multiply on the different mount point.
Once a mount point is mounted in bind mode, the general mount point can
be unmounted. Thus kdump would not find the general mount point[1] to
handle the path.
The mount point, which is as general mount point, will be got by
"fintmnt" previously. But the mntpoint may be incorrect, if the mntpoint
is bind mount.
In order to fix it to support bind mounted in atomic, we will add a
judgement to comfirm the mntpoint is bind mounted, or not.
For general mount, returning path is like following, if we use
"findmnt". The returning is same as "findmnt -v".
-bash-4.2# findmnt /var | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'
/dev/mapper/atomicos-root
But for bind mount, returning path is like following, if we use
"fintmnt".
-bash-4.2# findmnt /var | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'
/dev/mapper/atomicos-root[/ostree/deploy/rhel-atomic-host/var]
Use "findmnt -v" is like this:
-bash-4.2# findmnt -v /var | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'
/dev/mapper/atomicos-root
So we can determine the bind mount, if the returning is different
between "findmnt" and "findmnt -v".
[1] general mount point is a directory without being in bind mounted
mode, just a normal directory.

Now kdump cannt parse the path correctly, if the path contains
duplicated "/". Following is an example to explain it detail. (the
directory /mnt is a mount point which is mounted a block device)
path //mnt/var/crash
Then the warning will raise.
Force rebuild /boot/initramfs-3.19.1kdump.img
Rebuilding /boot/initramfs-3.19.1kdump.img

/sbin/mkdumprd: line 239: [: -lt: unary operator expected
kexec: loaded kdump kernel
Starting kdump: [OK]
For above case, kdump fails to check the fs size, due to the incorrect
path.
In kdump code flow, we will cut out the mount point(/mnt) from the
path(//mnt/var/crash). But the mount point cannt match the path, because
of the duplicated "/".
To fix it, we will strip the duplicated "/" firstly.

Jerry Hoemann reported a bug that a mount will fail when he installed
a system with separate "/" "/var" and "/var/crash". That means root
disk /dev/a mounted on /, and another disk /dev/b is mounted on /var,
then the 3rd disk /dev/c mounted on /var/crash. Then kdump will fail
since mount will fail.
This is because the mount information will be written into
/$mntimage/etc/fstab like below. And the dump target is /dev/c. However
/dev/b is not related in kdump, its mount info is not necessary and not
saved. So when go into kdump kernel, it will find there's not a crash
dir under /sysroot/var. And in current implementation, if not a root
disk dump, sysroot is a read-only mount, no dir can be created in this
situation.
/dev/disk/by-uuid/cdcf007a-b623-45ee-8d73-a8be0d372440 /sysroot/var/crash xfs rw,relatime,...,x-initrd.mount 0 2
So in this patch, change the mount behavior to fix this bug. If dump
target is a root disk, mount point is /sysroot. If dump target is not
root, just mount it to /kdumproot/$_target. Now it works.

Previously if a target need mount info, the relevant mount options
are got from /proc/mounts by below command:
findmnt -k -f -n -r -o OPTIONS $_dev
This will bring problems. Since /proc/mounts will give out a set
which contains each option. Some options have value specified by
user, some options just have default value if user doesn't specify.
If some mount options are not supported very well, bugs occured.
The more options, the worse.
So in this patch, we try to check fstab to get mount options firstly,
this give user a chance to decide which options they really want.
If they don't give a fstab entry, then we trust all options in
/proc/mounts.

Now when mount in /etc/fstab fails, systemd would not consider it as
critical and it would continue to boot. In fact, emergency service is
triggered, but not in a isolation mode, and it results in the emergency
service getting shutdown at some point later of the boot process. We
need isolation otherwise we won't see any emergency service.
That is because in kdump initramfs, mount units specified in /etc/fstab
are required by "local-fs.target". When any of these mounts fails,
local-fs.target fails.
For kdump initramfs, we need to isolate to emergency service on any of
the mount failure, that said, every service should be stopped and onlu
emergency service would run. But local-fs.target won't trigger that on
its failure. That means in case of mount failure, local-fs.target also
enters failure state, but all the service will continue without any
interruption.
After digging looking into source code of systemd-fstab-generator. I
find "x-initrd.mount" using in initramfs mount, will make the mount
units required by "initrd-root-fs.target" rather than it's used to be
"local-fs.target".
"initrd-root-fs.target" is suitable to us because if it fails, it will
isolate to emergency service. That means in case of any mount failure,
the emergeny service will start and everything else will stop. We want
this effect because we need to take kdump fail-safe action when there's
a mount failure.
From systemd unit point of view, "initrd-root-fs.target" has
OnFailureIsolate=yes, but "local-fs.target" doesn't. From
systemd.unit(5):
OnFailureIsolate=
Takes a boolean argument. If true, the unit listed in OnFailure=
will be enqueued in isolation mode, i.e. all units that are not its
dependency will be stopped. If this is set, only a single unit may
be listed in OnFailure=. Defaults to false.
NOTE: Harald who contributed "x-initrd.mount" in systemd, confirmed that
this feature will stay.

When user does not specify dump target explicitly, it's better to
dump to the "path" specified. That means after dump user enter into
1st kernel, can find vmcore in the "path". If that path is in root
fs, vmcore is stored in root fs. If separate disk is mounted on
any tier of "path", we just dump vmcore into the left path on the
left separate disk.
E.g in kdump.conf
path /mnt/nfs
in mount info,
/dev/vdb on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
Then vmcore will be saved in /nfs of /dev/vdb.

Currently we have two issues against mounting filesystems by systemd.
1. If any failure in sysroot.mount, initrd.target won't be reached.
2. If any failure in mounting /etc/fstab, initrd.target won't be reached
Our kdump.sh is in dracut-pre-pivot hook which is ordered after
initrd.target. That means if systemd doesn't reach initrd.target,
pre-pivot service will not run.
Based on above, we can conclude that in order to run kdump.sh,
initrd.target must be reached.
To fix issue 1), we can add rootflags=nofail to 2nd kernel cmdline, so
that initrd.target will not require sysroot.mount. initrd.target
wouldn't care about the failures in sysroot.mount. That means
initrd.target can always be reached whether or not sysroot.mount fails.
So when initrd.target is reached, kdump.sh can be run.
To fix issue 2), we can append "nofail" mount options to every entry in
/etc/fstab. It has almost the same affects as to sysroot.mount.
initrd.target can be reached whether or not mount /etc/fstab fails. So
when initrd.target is reached, kdump.sh can be run.
If the mount failures block kdump from working properly (for example,
the dump target isn't mounted), the error handling will be done by
"default" action specified in /etc/kdump.conf. Otherwise kdump will
ignore the mount failures and dump as expected.

mkdumprd call dracut to rebuilding kdump initrd, sometimes passing extra
dracut args is helpful. For example user can enable debug output with
--debug, --printsize to print roughly increased initramfs size by each module,
--omit-drivers to omit kernel modules, etc.
This patch enables dracut_args option for passing extra args to dracut.
Also it modifies add_dracut_arg() to treat a string with-in quote as single
string because for dracut options which has its own args, the args need to be
quoted and space seperated.
If add_dracut_arg() gets an string read from kdump.conf and if that string
contains double quotes, then while converting to positional parameters
those double quotes are not interpreted. Hence if /etc/kdump.conf contains
following.
dracut_args --add-drivers "driver1 driver2"
then add_dracut_args() sees following positional parameters
$1= --add-drivers
$2= "driver1
$3= driver2"
Notice, double quotes have been ignored and parameters have been broken
based on white space.
Modify add_dracut_arg() to look for parameters starting with " and
if one is found, it tries to merge all the next parameters till one
is found with ending double quote. Hence effectively simulating
following behavior.
$1= --add-drivers
$2= "driver1 driver2"

Add a function check_config to check kdump config file.
1. move multi dump target checking into this function
2. check invalid config options and obsolete config options
3. check null config value.
[v2->v3]: add detail doc about deprecated options in kdump.conf manpage.
[v3->v4]: print out the bad config option in case it is not valid.
[v4->v5]: improve documentation according to comments from Vivek.
[v5->v6]: s/Deprecated/Invalid for invalid config options.

Moving the checking target mount code a little earlier to ensure
dump target is mounted and fail out early before other handlings.
This change also cleanup a bit for the related code.
Tested UUID/devname local dump, also tested the non-exist kdump target.

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.
Tested the rootfs dump, UUID with/without quotes dump.

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.
[v1->v2]: improve documentation
add error handling for `mount -o remount,ro`
Fixed the changelog per Vivek's comment

Resolves: bug 868990
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().
Tested in fedora kvm guest.

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.
Updated kdump.conf examples and related chunks in kexec-kdump-howto.txt
use lvm /dev/vg/<devname> in examples

For raw device dump, also pass persistent name to dracut --device to fix
the device renaming problem.

currently --mount param are retrieved from /proc/mounts, but the device
name could be renamed in initramfs. So here convert them to persistent
names before passing to dracut
lvm canonical dev name is /dev/mapper/lvname-link which will be showed
in /proc/mounts
here fix get_mp function by using findmnt utils to find the mount point.
This patch depends on below dracut patch:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.initramfs/2903
[chaowang]:
in case device is not mounted we should not echo the mount line in to_mount()
use findmnt -n to strip the header line
for nfs don't pass persistent name to dracut
[vivek]:
improve variable names

For raw device upon complex storage such as multipath and iscsi
dracut does not resolve the module dependency automaticlly,
I sent a patch for the device pass via dracut argument "--device"
see below for reference:

Add --device <device> in mkdumprd for raw dump to fix this issue.

Currently net options means either nfs or ssh dump.
Better to split these two into standalone options. That's more clear to user.
after the split, ssh dump need user specify "ssh user@host"
nfs dump need user specify "nfs host:nfsshare"

For "-c /dev/null" Harald mentioned that it is useless.
In fact, dracut code [[ -f /dev/null ]] will return false thus it will still use
the default config file
