Add functions to copy NetworkManage connection profiles to the initramfs
Each network interface is manged by a NM connection. Given a list of
network interface names, copy the NetworkManager (NM) connection
profiles i.e. .nmconnection files to the kdump initramfs.
Before copying a connection file, clone it to automatically convert a
legacy ifcfg-*[1] file to a .nmconnection file and for the convenience of
editing the connection profile.

Fix error for vlan over team network interface

Although it could use one of slave netifs to establish connection

Don't check fs modified when dump target is lvm2 thinp
When the dump target is lvm2 thinp, if we didn't mount
the dump target first, get_fs_type_from_target will get
empty output:
Before mount:
$ get_fs_type_from_target /dev/vg00/thinlv
After mount:
$ mount /dev/vg00/thinlv /mnt
$ get_fs_type_from_target /dev/vg00/thinlv
ext4
As a result, kdumpctl start will fail with:
$ kdumpctl start
kdump: Dump target is invalid
kdump: Starting kdump: [FAILED]
This patch fix the issue by bypassing check_fs_modified
when the dump target is lvm2 thinp.

Fix the sync issue for dump_fs
Previously the sync for dump_fs is problematic, it always
return success according to man 2 sync. So it cannot detect
the error of the dump target is full and not all of vmcore
data been written back the disk, which will leave the vmcore
imcomplete and report misleading log as "saving vmcore
complete".
In this patch, we will use "sync -f vmcore" instead, which
will return error if syncfs on the dump target fails. In
this way, vmcore sync related failures, such as autoextend
of lvm2 thinpool fails, can be detected and handled properly.

Choosing the most memory-consuming key slot when estimating the

created with --pbkdf-memory=1048576 (1G) and --pbkdf-memory=524288 (512M),
"kdumpctl estimate" thinks the extra memory requirement is only 512M.
This will of course lead to OOM if the user uses the more
memory-consuming key slot. Fix it by sorting in reverse order.

virtiofs support for kexec-tools
This patch add virtiofs support for kexec-tools by introducing a new option
for /etc/kdump.conf:
virtiofs myfs
Where myfs is a variable tag name specified in qemu cmdline
"-device vhost-user-fs-pci,tag=myfs".
The patch covers the following cases:
1) Dumping VM's vmcore to a virtiofs shared directory;
2) When the VM's rootfs is a virtiofs shared directory and dumping the
VM's vmcore to its subdirectory, such as /var/crash;
3) The combination of case 1 & 2: The VM's rootfs is a virtiofs shared
directory and dumping the VM's vmcore to another virtiofs shared
directory.
Case 2 & 3 need dracut >= 057, otherwise VM cannot boot from virtiofs
shared rootfs. But it is not the issue of kexec-tools.

Date: Sat Oct 8 12:09:08 2022 +0800
Seperate dracut and dracut-squash compressor for zstd
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.

fadump: avoid non-debug kernel use for fadump case
Since commit c5bdd2d8f1 ("kdump-lib: use non-debug kernels first"),
non-debug kernel is preferred, over the debug variant, as dump capture
kernel to reduce memory consumption. This works alright for kdump as
the capture kernel is loaded using kexec.
In case of fadump, regular boot loader is used to load the capture
kernel. So, the default kernel needs to be used as capture kernel as
well. But with commit c5bdd2d8f1, initrd of a different kernel is
made dump capture capable, breaking fadump's ability to capture dump
properly. Fix this by sticking with the debug variant in case of
fadump.

Allow to update kexec-tools using virt-customize for cloud base image
Resolves: bz2089871
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
be blocked
