c1bf4dec6c mkdumprd fail if target is NFS and mounted on /var/crash
Now when dump target is not specified, separate disk can't be mounted on
"path", e.g /var/crash. However if target is specified, whatever the default
fail action is set, mkdumprd should go ahead and not be failed.

In check_block_dump_target(), the check only on disk is not complete,
NFS and ssh need be filtered too. So introduce is_user_configured_dump_target
to check this.

fc1749219f get_ssh_size fix for localized df output
When kdump service is started, /sbin/mkdump checks if there is enough
free space on the ssh server using "df -P" command.
However, the slight difference in the first line of the "df -P" command
output for English and Japanese environment causes a problem.
 -----
  # LANG=en_us.utf8 df -P | head -1
  Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mount on
  # LANG=ja_JP.utf8 df -P | head -1
  ファイルシス   1024-ブロック    使用  使用可 容量 マウント位置
 -----
Because the number of words is 7 in the English output and 6 in
Japanese, the subsequent awk command could not correctly locate the
free space field and results in an error.

One way to fix it is use df -P /var/crash|tail -1, but for remote restricted
shell pipe is not supported. Thus fix this by print field NF-2 in awk script.

7fa73ec70f kdump fails loading if target is root fs by default while disk is mounted on save path
kdump now dumps vmcore to root partition by default in SAVE_PATCH
directory, e.g /var/crash defaultly. This is problematic when another
disk is mounted on /var or /var/crash, because the saved vmcore will
he hidden after dump in 1st kernel. This also has the potential of
blindly filling the root file system without a clue as to why.

Now fix this by failing the loading of kdump kernel if dump target
is root fs by default while different disk is mounted on save path.

428a5e99ee kdumpctl: Pass disable_cpu_apicid to kexec of capture kernel
== Version 2 ==

Addresses Vivek's review comments:

1. Don't force numeric in awk script snipet.

2. Command line processing is moved from load_kernel to new function
   "prepare_cmdline."   This new function is responsible for
   setting up the command line passed to KEXEC.

3. New function "append_cmdline" is added to append {argument,value}
   pair to command line if argument is not already present.

== Version 1 ==

A recent patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/15/42) enables multiple
processors in the crash kernel.

To do this safely the crash kernel needs to know which CPU was the 1st
kernel BSP (bootstrap processor) so that the crash kernel will NOT send
the BSP an INIT.  If the crash kernel sends an INIT to the 1st kernel
BSP, some systems may reset or hang.

The EFI spec doesn't require that any particular processor is chosen
as the BSP and the CPU (and its apic id) can change from one boot to
the next.  Hence automating the selection of CPU to disable if the
system would panic is desired.

This patch updates the kdumpctl script to get the "initial apicid"
of CPU 0 in the first kernel and will pass this as the
"disable_cpu_apicid=" arguement to kexec if it wasn't explicitly
set in /etc/sysconfig/kdump KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND.

CPU 0 is chosen as it is the processor thats execute the OS
initialization
code and hence was the BSP as per x86 SDM (Vol 3a Section 8.4.)

5dac95bbad remove the selinux filpping code in propagate_ssh_key
Description of problem:
Previously with selinux in enforcing mode, could prevent ssh-keygen from
generating keys. Support for selinux policy for allowing applications to
access ssh-keygen for generating ssh keys was added in
selinux-policy-3.7.19-126.el6_2.6.

Solutions:
Because of the context was added for ssh key generation, so the keys were
generated without fliping from enforcing mode to permissive mode for ssh
key generation. This patch removes selinux code which switches between
enforcing and permissive modes.

1060846036 insert wdt kernel modules when watchdog is active
When watchdog is enabled in 1st kernel, then crash dump in kdump
kernel will be interrupted if watchdog is timeout. Since some
wdt drivers can stop the watchdog when its driver is loaded,
e.g iTCO_wdt, this can benefit crash dump.

Add watchdog driver which is active in system to initramfs, its
loading can stop watchdog.

For now, put this adding in 99kdumpbase.

75c9162996 makedumpfile: memset() in cyclic bitmap initialization introduce segment fault.
This is a backport of the following upstream commit:

commit 4404368
Author: WANG Chao <chaowang@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Dec 18 22:34:43 2013 +0900

    [PATCH] memset() in cyclic bitmap initialization introduce segment fault.

    We are using memset() to improve performance when creating 1st and 2nd
    bitmap. After doing round up the pfn_start and round down pfn_end, it's
    possible that pfn_start_roundup is greater than pfn_end_round. A segment
    fault could happen in that case because memset is taking roughly the
    value of (pfn_end_round << 3 - pfn_start_roundup << 3 ), which is
    negative, as its third argument.

    So we can skip the memset if start is greater than end. It's safe
    because we will set bit for the round up part and also round down part.

    Actually this happens on my EFI virtual machine:

1065b91f7d Add acpi_no_memhotplug to kdump kernel
In kdump kernel boot, kdump kernel is booted with memmap= and add
them into e820 map. Then ACPI is initialized and the kernel traverses
the ACPI namespace to find entries for memory device to be hot added.
This adds page table information and the kexec/kdump kernel runs out
of memory.

So in kdump kernel, hot plug memory need be disabled always, only
exact map is trusted. Now add the kernel parameter acpi_no_memhotplug
to kdump kernel cmdline.

590a0c21ab kdumpctl: rebuild kdump initramfs if cluster or fence_kdump config is changed.
If the system is configured fence kdump, we need to update kdump
initramfs if cluster or fence_kdump config is newer.

In RHEL7, cluster config is no longer keeping locally but stored
remotely. Fortunately we can use a pcs tool to retrieve the xml based
config and parse the last changed time from that.

/etc/sysconfig/fence_kdump is used to configure runtime arguments to
fence_kdump_send. So We have to pass the arguments to 2nd kernel.

When cluster config or /etc/sysconfig/fence_kdump is newer than local
kdump initramfs, we must rebuild initramfs to adapt changes in cluster.

For example:

Detected change(s) the following file(s):

  cluster-cib /etc/sysconfig/fence_kdump

    updated at very slow interval, because 1 percent on 1 TiB memory is
    about 10 GiB, which looks like as if system has freezed. Then,
    confused users might get tempted to push a reset button to recover the
    system. We want to avoid such situation as much as possible.

    vmcore-dmesg: struct_val_u64() not casting u64 to u32

    It seems gcc doesn't check return type from inline function.
    struct_val_u64() should return u64 otherwise upper 32bit is lost.

timestamp in vmcore-dmesg is u64 type but it's truncated to u32, which
results in wrong time stamp. So let's backport this patch to fix this
issue.

dd7eee7e4a makedumpfile: Fall back to read() when mmap() fails
This is a backport of the following upstream commit:

commit 7c770ed
Author: Atsushi Kumagai <kumagai-atsushi@mxc.nes.nec.co.jp>
Date:   Thu Dec 12 16:40:31 2013 +0900

    [PATCH] Fall back to read() when mmap() fails.

    This is a fall back path for mmap().
    This patch disables mmap() when facing the issues related to mmap(),
    and read() will be used to read vmcore instead.

    Signed-off-by: Atsushi Kumagai <kumagai-atsushi@mxc.nes.nec.co.jp>

mmap() file operation on vmcore is working properly when the page being
accessed has different attributes on different part (ie. two different type
of memory ranges are overlapping).

A fall back mechanism is introduced in this patch, in case mmap() fails,
switch to read() afterwards.

89a4cb24e0 makedumpfile: Add --non-mmap option to disable mmap() manually
This is a backport of the following upstream commit:

commit a895dc8
Author: Atsushi Kumagai <kumagai-atsushi@mxc.nes.nec.co.jp>
Date:   Thu Dec 12 16:40:12 2013 +0900

    [PATCH] Add --non-mmap option to disable mmap() manually.

    When --non-mmap option is specified, makedumpfile doesn't use
    mmap() even if /proc/vmcore supports mmap().

    Signed-off-by: Atsushi Kumagai <kumagai-atsushi@mxc.nes.nec.co.jp>

Having this patch, user can switch between mmap() and read() when
accessing vmcore. Whenever user feels necessary to use readmem on vmcore
(buggy code in mmap path, debug purpose, etc.), --non-mmap can do this
favor.

194a389a9f makedumpfile: Assign non-printable value as short options
This is a backport of the following upstream commit:

commit bd67c1d
Author: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Jul 2 11:09:20 2013 +0900

    [PATCH 1/2] Assign non-printable value as short options.

    Characters for short options is limited, and now makedumpfile has
    considerably many options. As times go on, no enough reasonable
    letters can be assigned to each functionality with short options.

    E.g non-cyclic vs Y, cyclic-buffer vs Z, eppic vs S.

    Now assign non-printable value to these kind of short optins, meanwhile
    define them as indicative MACRO which can make code more readable.

Author: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Nov 14 10:51:47 2013 +0800

    makedumpfile: disable mmap

    There's a  kernel bug for mapping mem ranges which end with
    an address not aligned to page boundry. It's still not resolved
    in upstream, so let's disable mmap read for now as a workaround.

    Once upstream got a right fix we can revert this patch.
