kexec/arch/i386: Add support for KASLR memory randomization
Multiple changes were made on KASLR (right now in linux-next). One of
them is randomizing the virtual address of the physical mapping, vmalloc
and vmemmap memory sections. It breaks kdump ability to read physical
memory.
This change identifies if KASLR memories randomization is used by
checking if the page_offset_base variable exists. It search for the
correct PAGE_OFFSET value by looking at the loaded memory section and
find the lowest aligned on PUD (the randomization level).

This is a short document about how to setup kdump on live images. All
steps were tested on Fedora 25 Alpha LiveCD and saved vmcore captured

Fix Bug 925630 - kexec-tools: support for arm64
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=925630
involves three things:
1. back porting upstream code to enable the function of kexec-tools on arm64
patchset backported from upstream:
commit abdfe97736f89d9bc73662b9134604b0229a599e
commit 522df5f7217fda01ece3f6ac3e9987b0320c2bb0
commit 217bcc00c9309416a6c6cd0584196559d28a9259
2. fix the arm related building issue by using autoreconf in spec file
3. patches to fix the issue of higher version gcc used by koji (not upstrem yet,
and the corresponding fix in kernel side is in other package)
kexec-tools-2.0.13-arm64-Add-support-for-additional-relocations-in-the-kexec-purgatory-code.patch
kexec-tools-2.0.13-arm64-Add-support-of-R_AARCH64_PREL32-relocation-in-.patch

Since in Fedora 25 kernel kaslr is enabled (x86) but makedumpfile can not save
a correct vmcore, so it means kdump default setup will not work.
Pratyush posted a patch series to upstream which can fix the issue. Let's merge them in F25, will get the normal fixes after it being merged in upstream, we hopefully can rebase soon in rawhide.
This is an urgent fix for F25 since F25 freeze is this week.

ppc64: purgatory: Handle local symbols in ELF ABIv2
The PowerPC64 ELF ABIv2 has the concept of global and local symbols
and information on this is encoded in sym->st_other. When doing a
R_PPC64_REL24 branch we want to hit the local entry point, so adjust
it as necessary.

Pass struct mem_sym into machine_apply_elf_rel()
On PowerPC64 ABIv2 we need to look at the symbol to determine
if it has a local entry point. Pass struct mem_sym into
machine_apply_elf_rel() so we can.

Don't put options after the %end of the %addon section
Otherwise the installation describing kickstart will not be valid.
This can resulting in various issues such, as Initial Setup refusing
to run due to invalid kickstart file.
kdumpctl is useful sometimes when users want to debug or setup ssh key
authentication. So add a man page for it.

Moving isys.total_memory() call to class method to avoid installation hangs.
It is possible because totoal_memory will call log.info which need log lock.
but some loging function need import gettext module which need import lock.
Thus deadlock could happen.
Moved isys.total_memory callback to class method instead.
Updated kdump addon icon again, Máirín Duffy designed a better icon,
it shows a little blip in a heart beat with a magnifying class examining
it, it uses components of the gnome-symbolic-theme so it would match the
other icons in the hub.
