Currently, CoreOS image fails to be built. This is because since commit
00c37d8c ("spec: Drop special handling for IA64 machines"), the last
command is now servicelog_notify and it fails to run in such
invocation environment. Thus the %post scriptlet returns a non-zero
exit code which breaks package installation,

The two systems are IA64 based which is no longer supported by Fedora
and was only supported in RHEL up to RHEL5. So it is safe to simply drop
the special handling. In case it is still wanted nevertheless the
special handling should be added to kdump-lib.sh:prepare_cmdline rather
than editing the sysconfig in the spec file.

Currently, kexec-tools only updates the crashkernel to a new default
value only when both two conditions are met,
- auto_reset_crashkernel=yes in kdump.conf
- existing kernels or current running kernel should use the old default
value.
To address seen corner cases, the logic to tell if the second condition
is met becomes quite complex. Instead of making the logic more complex
to support aarch64-64k, this patch drops the second condition to
simplify the management of the crashkernel kernel parameter.
Another change brought by this simplification is kexec-tools will also
set up the kernel crashkernel parameter for a fresh install (previously
it's limited to osbuild).
Note
1. This patch also stop trying to update /etc/default/grub because
a) it only affects the static file /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
b) grubby is recommended to change the kernel command-line parameters
for both Fedora [1] and RHEL9 [2][3]
c) For the cases of aarch64 and POWER, different kernels could have
different default crashkernel value.
2. Starting with Fedora 37, posttrans rpm scriplet distinguish between
package install and upgrade.

The new aggressive strip option was added in dracut 058, which tell
dracut to build the initramfs stripping more sections of the ELF
binaries (basically strip .symtab, .strtab).
These section are only useful for debugging runtime failures, but in
kdump kernel, neccessary tools for debug any runtime failure are
absent, there is no point keeping these sections.
Stripping these section can help save some memory with almost no side
effect. So let enable --aggressive-strip by default.
Comparison of unpacked initramfs before / after enabling aggressive strip:
du -hs image image.aggressive-strip

A Unified Kernel Image (UKI) is a single EFI PE executable combining an
EFI stub, a kernel image, an initrd image, and the kernel command line.
They are defined in the Boot Loader Specification [1] as type #2
entries. UKIs have the advantage that all code as well as meta data that
is required to boot the system, not only the kernel image, is combined
in a single PE file and can be signed for EFI SecureBoot. This extends
the coverage of SecureBoot extensively.
For RHEL support for UKI were included into kernel-ark with 16c7e3ee836e
("redhat: Add sub-RPM with a EFI unified kernel image for virtual
machines").
There are two problems with UKIs from the kdump point of view at the
moment. First, they cannot be directly loaded via kexec_file_load and
second, the initrd included isn't suitable for kdump. In order to enable
kdump on systems with UKIs build the kdump initrd as usual and extract
the kernel image before loading the crash kernel.

The function is pretty broken right now. To start with the -o/--omit
option allows a quoted, space separated list of modules. But using 'set'
breaks quotation and thus only considers the first element in the list.
Furthermore dracut uses getopt internally. This means that it is also
possible to pass the list via --omit=.
Fix the function by making use of getopt for parsing the dracut_args.
While at it also add a test cases to cover the functions.

[PATCH] Fix wrong exclusion of slab pages on Linux 6.2-rc1
* Required for kernel 6.2
Kernel commit 130d4df57390 ("mm/sl[au]b: rearrange struct slab fields to
allow larger rcu_head"), which is contained in Linux 6.2-rc1 and later,
made the offset of slab.slabs equal to page.mapping's one. As a result,
"makedumpfile -d 8", which should exclude user data, excludes some slab
pages wrongly because isAnon() returns true when slab.slabs is an odd
number. With such dumpfiles, crash can fail to start session with an
error like this:
# crash vmlinux dumpfile
...
crash: page excluded: kernel virtual address: ffff8fa047ac2fe8 type: "xa_node shift"
Make isAnon() check that the page is not slab to fix this.

This is because when anaconda installs the packages, bootloader hasn't
been installed and /boot/grub2/grubenv or /etc/zipl.conf doesn't exist.
So don't try to update crashkernel when bootloader isn't ready to avoid
the above errors.
Note this is the second attempt to fix this issue. Previously a file
/tmp/kexec_tools_package_install was created to avoid running the
related code thus to avoid the above errors but unfortunately that
approach has two issues a) somehow osbuild doesn't delete it for RHEL b)
this file could still exist if users manually remove kexec-tools.

At present, only the kdump.conf generated for s390x has a slight

Previously kexec-tools will pass "--compress zstd" to dracut. It
will make dracut to decide whether: a) call mksquashfs to make a
zstd format squash-root.img, b) call cmd zstd to make a initramfs.
Since dracut(>= 057) has decoupled the compressor for dracut and
dracut-squash, So in this patch, we will pass the compressor seperately.
Note:
The is_squash_available && !dracut_has_option --squash-compressor
&& !is_zsdt_command_available case is left unprocessed on purpose.
Actually, the situation when we want to call zstd compression is:
1) If squash function OK, we want dracut to invoke mksquashfs to make
a zstd format squash-root.img within initramfs.
2) If squash function is not OK, and cmd zstd presents, we want dracut
to invoke cmd zstd to make a zstd format initramfs.
is_zstd_command_available check can handle case 2 completely.
However, for the is_squash_available check, it cannot handle case 1
completely. It only checks if the kernel supports squashfs, it doesn't
check whether the squash module has been added by dracut when making
initramfs. In fact, in kexec-tools we are unable to do the check,
there are multiple ways to forbit dracut to load a module, such as
"dracut -o module" and "omit_dracutmodules in dracut.conf".
When squash dracut module is omitted, is_squash_available check will
still pass, so "--compress zstd" will be appended to dracut cmdline,
and it will call cmd zstd to do the compression. However cmd zstd may
not exist, so it fails.
The previous "--compress zstd" is ambiguous, after the intro of
"--squash-compressor", "--squash-compressor" only effect for
mksquashfs and "--compress" only effect for specific cmd.
So for the is_squash_available && !dracut_has_option
--squash-compressor && !is_zsdt_command_available case, we just leave
it to be handled the default way.

These kdump.sysconfig.* files are almost identical with a bit difference
in several parameters, just use a simple script to generate them upon
packaging. This should make it easier to maintain, updating a comment or
param for a certain arch can be done in one place.
There are only some comment or empty option differences with the generated
version because some arch's sysconfig is not up-to-dated, this actually
fixes the issue, I used the following script to check these differences:

Currently, kexec-tools can't be updated using virt-customize because
older version of kdumpctl can't acquire instance lock for the
get-default-crashkernel subcommand. The reason is /var/lock is linked to
/run/lock which however doesn't exist in the case of virt-customize.
This patch fixes this problem by using /tmp/kdump.lock as the lock
file if /run/lock doesn't exist.
Note
1. The lock file is now created in /run/lock instead of /var/run/lock since
Fedora has adopted adopted /run [2] since F15.
2. %pre scriptlet now always return success since package update won't

Besides, it's better to update crashkernel after the kernel has been

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
