If the directory /etc/kdump/pre.d is optional, then it is hard
to tell between the following cases:
-1. no directory "/etc/kdump/pre.d"
-2. "rm -rf /etc/kdump/pre.d", which removes all scripts under pre.d
For the second case, kdump.img should be rebuilt.
To bail out from this corner case, always creating pre.d and post.d
during rpm installation.

[PATCH] Introduce --check-params option
Currently it's difficult to check whether a makedumpfile command-line
is valid or not without an actual panic. This is inefficient and if
a wrong configuration is not tested, you will miss the vmcore when an
actual panic occurs.
In order for kdump facilities like kexec-tools to be able to check
the specified command-line parameters in advance, introduce the
--check-params option that only checks them and exits immediately.

The dracut initqueue may quit immediately and won't trigger any hook if
there is no "finished" hook still pending (finished hook will be deleted
once it return 0).
This issue start to appear with latest dracut, latest dracut use
network-manager to configure the network,
network-manager module only install "settled" hook, and we didn't
install any other hook. So NFS/SSH dump will fail. iSCSI dump works
because dracut iscsi module will install a "finished" hook to detect if
the iscsi target is up.
So for NFS/SSH we keep initqueue running until the host successfully get
a valid IP address, which means the network is ready.

[PATCH] Fix inconsistent return value from find_vmemmap()
When -e option is given, the find_vmemmap() returns FAILED(1) if
it failed on x86_64, but on architectures other than that, it is
stub_false() and returns FALSE(0).
if (info->flag_excludevm) {
if (find_vmemmap() == FAILED) {
ERRMSG("Can't find vmemmap pages\n");
#define find_vmemmap() stub_false()
As a result, on the architectures other than x86_64, the -e option
does some unnecessary processing with no effect, and marks the dump
DUMP_DH_EXCLUDED_VMEMMAP unexpectedly.
Also, the functions for the -e option return COMPLETED or FAILED,
which are for command return value, not for function return value.
So let's fix the issue by following the common style that returns
TRUE or FALSE, and avoid confusion.

'maxcpus' setting normally don't work on several kdump enabled systems
due to a known udev issue.
Currently the fedora kdump configuration is set as the following on the
aarch64 systems:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/kdump
<..snip..>
# This variable lets us append arguments to the current kdump
# commandline after processed by KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_REMOVE
# KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND="irqpoll maxcpus=1 reset_devices"
<..snip..>
Since the 'maxcpus' setting doesn't limit the number of SMP CPUs,
so the kdump kernel still boots with all CPUs available on the system.
For e.g on the qualcomm amberwing its 46 CPUs:
# lscpu
Architecture: aarch64
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 46
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-45
Thread(s) per core: 1
Core(s) per socket: 46
Socket(s): 1
NUMA node(s): 1
Vendor ID: Qualcomm
Model: 1
Model name: Falkor
Stepping: 0x0
CPU max MHz: 2600.0000
CPU min MHz: 600.0000
BogoMIPS: 40.00
L1d cache: 32K
L1i cache: 64K
L2 cache: 512K
L3 cache: 58880K
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-45
Flags: fp asimd evtstrm aes pmull sha1 sha2 crc32 cpuid asimdrdm
This causes the memory consumption in the kdump kernel to swell up and
we can end up having OOM issues in the kdump kernel boot.
Whereas if we use 'nr_cpus=1' in the bootargs, the number of SMP CPUs in
the kdump kernel get limited to 1.
The 'swiotlb=noforce' setting in bootargs provide us extra guarding, to
ensure the crash kernel size requirements do not swell on systems
which support swiotlb.
With the above settings, crashkernel boots properly (without OOM) on all
the aarch64 boards I could test on - qualcomm amberwings, hp-moonshots
and hpe-apache (thunderx2) for crash dump saving on local disk.

On powerpc, after hot add cpu and trigger crash on the hot-added cpu, the
kdump kernel hangs after "I'm in purgatory".
The current udev rules expects the dtb to be rebuit on cpu add/remove event.
But since powerpc does not follow the standard cpu hot add framework, it
only ejects online/offline event to user space when cpu is hot
added/removed, instead of add/remove event. Pingfan tried fixing that but
it didn't please the maintainer as it breaks some old userspace tools.
Due to the failure of dtb's rebuilding, KDump kernel fails to get the
'boot_cpuid' and eventually fails to boot [see early_init_dt_scan_cpus() in
arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c file] if system crashes on hot-added CPU.
Work around it by changing udev rules on powerpc to onlne/offline.
As for offline message, it is even useless on powerpc, and can be dropped.
See the explain: On powerpc, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX nodes are present
for all "possible", irrespective of whether a CPU is hot-added/removed.
crash_notes are already built for all /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX nodes and
these nodes are present for all "possible" CPUs

Previously, kdump will restart / reload for many times on hotplug
event, especially memory hotplug events. Hotplugged memory may
generate many udev event as memory are managed and hotplugged in
small chunks by the kernel.
This results in unnecessary system workload and an actually longer
delay of kdump reload and the hotplug event, as udev will either
get blocked or kdumpctl will be waiting for other triggered operation.
To fix this, introduce a kdump-udev-throttler as an agent which will
be called by udev and merge concurrent kdump restart requests. Tested
with a Hyper-V VM which is failing due to udev timeout previously,
no new issues found.

This patch fixes the "Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32" error
that we are seeing with Fedora 29 (and newer kernels > 4.18) which
trying to run kexec/kdump on x86_64 machines.
The patch is being discussed upstream and has been ACK'ed by Baoquan and
myself (see <https://www.spinics.net/lists/kexec/msg21255.html>) and I
have also tested the same on Fedora 29/rawhide x86_64 machine as well:
Before the patch:
----------------
[root@hp-bl480c-01 ~]# kdumpctl restart
kexec: unloaded kdump kernel
Stopping kdump: [OK]
Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32
kexec: failed to load kdump kernel
Starting kdump: [FAILED]
After the patch:
---------------
[root@hp-bl480c-01 ~]# kdumpctl restart
kexec: unloaded kdump kernel
Stopping kdump: [OK]
kexec: loaded kdump kernel
Starting kdump: [OK]
Suggested Upstream Fix:
In response to a change in binutils, commit b21ebf2fb4c
(x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32) was applied to
the linux kernel during the 4.16 development cycle and has
since been backported to earlier stable kernel series. The
change results in the failure message in $SUBJECT when
rebooting via kexec.
Fix this by replicating the change in kexec.

Kdump always use _proto=dhcp for both ipv4 and ipv6. But for ipv6
the dhcp address assignment is not like ipv4, there are different ways
for it, stateless and stateful, see below document:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IPv6Guide
In case stateless, kernel can do the address assignment, dracut use
_proto=auto6; for stateful case, dracut use _proto=dhcp6.
But it is hard to decide whether stateless or stateful takes effect,
hence, dracut introduces ip=either6 option, which can try both of these
method automatically for us. For detail, refer to dracut:
commit 67354ee 40network: introduce ip=either6 option
We do not see bug reports before because for the most auto6 cases
kernel assign ip address before dhclient, kdump just happened to work.

Kdump service starts too late, so early crashes will have no chance
to get kdump kernel booting, this will cause crash information to be
lost. It is necessary to add a dracut module in order to load crash
kernel and initramfs as early as possible. You can provide "rd.early
kdump" in grub commandline to enable, then the early kdump will load
those files like the normal kdump, which is disabled by default.
For the normal kdump service, it can check whether the early kdump
has loaded the crash kernel and initramfs. It has no conflict with
the early kdump.
If you rebuild the new initramfs for early kdump, the new initramfs
size will become large, because it will put the vmlinuz and kdump
initramfs into the new initramfs.
In addition, early kdump doesn't support fadump.

Dracut has "--hostonly-cmdline" which can generate cmdlines(if any)
regarding the dump target, it's an existing way for us to use to
simplify the code. E.g. We already removed generate_lvm_cmdlines(),
to use "--hostonly-cmdline".
But "--hostonly-cmdline" has other issues(e.g. BZ1451717), it adds
needless devices for kdump like root device.
Now dracut supports "--no-hostonly-default-device" which enables
us to only add the kdump target, which can avoid needless devices
being recognized under kdump. Thus "--hostonly-cmdline" side effects
can be avoided with the help of "--no-hostonly-default-device".
This patch applies dracut's "--hostonly-cmdline" together with
"--no-hostonly-default-device" to achieve above-mentioned purpose.
