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.

Remove this package and put eppic_makedumpfile.so and its sample
scripts in kexec-tools package.
makedumpfile does dlopen() on eppic_makedumpfile.so and that does not
enforce any choice. One could either ship it in kexec-tools package or
in a subpackage. Both will work.
The real reason was that code for eppic_makedumpfile.so
(extension_eppic.c) and some eppic scripts are in upstream makedumpfile
project. And that project is distributed as part of kexec-tools package.
Now breaking down that makedumpfile in two parts and shipping all
eppic specific bits in a separate subpackage was creating confusion
everytime we did some changes.
So to avoid that confusion and to keep all of the makedumpfile related
bits in a single package, this change is being done.

kexec/ppc64: disabling exception handling when building the purgatory
Some Linux distributions would like to turn on the GCC exception handling
by default. As this option introduces symbols in the built code that are
defined in a separate shared library, this is not a good idea to have such
an option activated when building the purgatory.
This patch forces the exception handling to be turned off when building the
purgatory on ppc64 BE and LE.

kexec: Provide an option to use new kexec system call
Hi,
This is v2 of the patch. Since v1, I moved syscall implemented check littler
earlier in the function as per the feedback.
Now a new kexec syscall (kexec_file_load()) has been merged in upstream
kernel. This system call takes file descriptors of kernel and initramfs
as input (as opposed to list of segments to be loaded). This new system
call allows for signature verification of the kernel being loaded.
One use of signature verification of kernel is secureboot systems where
we want to allow kexec into a kernel only if it is validly signed by
a key system trusts.
This patch provides and option --kexec-file-syscall (-s), to force use of
new system call for kexec. Default is to continue to use old syscall.
Currently only bzImage64 on x86_64 can be loaded using this system call.
As kernel adds support for more arches and for more image types, kexec-tools
can be modified accordingly.

This patch introduce a new kdump-capture.service which is used to run
kdump.sh.
kdump-capture.service has OnFailure=emergency.target and
OnFailureIsolate=yes set. When kdump.sh fails, the kdump emergency
service will be triggered and enter the error handling path.
In 2nd kernel, the default target for systemd is initrd.target, so we
put kdump-capture.service in initrd.target.wants/ and by that, system
will start kdump-capture as part of the boot process.
kdump.sh used to run in dracut-pre-pivot hook. Now kdump-capture.service
is placed after dracut-pre-pivot.service and other dependencies are all
copied from dracut-pre-pivot.service. So the start point of
kdump.sh will be almost the same as it used to be.

Now upon failure kdump script might not be called at all and it might
not be able to execute default action. It results in a hang.
Because we disable emergency shell and rely on kdump.sh being invoked
through dracut-pre-pivot hook. But it might happen that we never call
into dracut-pre-pivot hook because certain systemd targets could not
reach due to failure in their dependencies. In those cases error
handling code does not run and system hangs. For example:
sysroot-var-crash.mount --> initrd-root-fs.target --> initrd.target \
--> dracut-pre-pivot.service --> kdump.sh
If /sysroot/var/crash mount fails, initrd-root-fs.target will not be
reached. And then initrd.target will not be reached,
dracut-pre-pivot.service wouldn't run. Finally kdump.sh wouldn't run.
To solve this problem, we need to separate the error handling code from
dracut-pre-pivot hook, and every time when a failure shows up, the
separated code can be called by the emergency service.
By default systemd provides an emergency service which will drop us into
shell every time upon a critical failure. It's very convenient for us to
re-use the framework of systemd emergency, because we don't have to
touch the other parts of systemd. We can use our own script instead of
the default one.
This new scheme will overwrite emergency shell and replace with kdump
error handling code. And this code will do the error handling as needed.
Now, we will not rely on dracut-pre-pivot hook running always. Instead
whenever error happens and it is serious enough that emergency shell
needed to run, now kdump error handler will run.
dracut-emergency is also replaced by kdump error handler and it's
enabled again all the way down. So all the failure (including systemd
and dracut) in 2nd kernel could be captured, and trigger kdump error
handler.
dracut-initqueue is a special case, which calls "systemctl start
emergency" directly, not via "OnFailure=emergency". In case of failure,
emergency is started, but not in a isolation mode, which means
dracut-initqueue is still running. On the other hand, emergency will
call dracut-initqueue again when default action is dump_to_rootfs.
systemd would block on the last dracut-initqueue, waiting for the first
instance to exit, which leaves us hang. It looks like the following:
dracut-initqueue (running)
--> call dracut-emergency:
--> dracut-emergency (running)
--> kdump-error-handler.sh (running)
--> call dracut-initqueue:
--> blocking and waiting for the original instance to exit.
To fix this, I'd like to introduce a wrapper emergency service. This
emegency service will replace both the systemd and dracut emergency. And
this service does nothing but to isolate to real kdump error handler
service:
dracut-initqueue (running)
--> call dracut-emergency:
--> dracut-emergency isolate to kdump-error-handler.service
--> dracut-emergency and dracut-initqueue will both be stopped
and kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh.
In a normal failure case, this still works:
foo.service fails
--> trigger emergency.service
--> emergency.service isolates to kdump-error-handler.service
--> kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh

Extract functions from kdump.sh, and construct kdump-lib-initramfs.sh as
kdump common functions/varaibles library.
kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will include kdump-lib.sh, because it will use
the functions from there. IOW, kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will be a superset
of kdump-lib.sh
So after this cleanup:
- scripts running in 1st kernel only have to include kdump-lib.sh
- scripts running in 2nd kernel only have to include kdump-lib-initramfs.sh

[PATCH 3/3] Stop maximizing the bitmap buffer to reduce the risk of OOM.
We tried to maximize the bitmap buffer to get the best performance,
but the performance degradation caused by multi-cycle processing
looks very small according to the benchmark on 2TB memory:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/26/914
This result means we don't need to make an effort to maximize the
bitmap buffer, it will just increase the risk of OOM.
This patch sets a small fixed value (4MB) as a safety limit,
it may be safer and enough in most cases.
