The function has multiple problems:
1) SSH_{USER,SERVER} aren't defined local
2) Weird use of cut and sed to parse the DUMP_TARGET for the user and
host although check_ssh_config guarantees that it has the format
<user>@<host>.
3) Unnecessary use of a variable for the return value
4) Weird behavior to first unpack the DUMP_TARGET to SSH_USER and
SSH_SERVER and then putting it back together again
5) Definition of variable errmsg that is only used once but breaks
grep-ability of error message.
6) Wrong order when redirecting output of ssh-keygen, see SC2069 [1]

For ssh targets kdumpctl only verifies that the config value has the
correct <user>@<host> format itself. For all other tests, e.g. if the
destination can be reached, it relies on ssh. This allows users to
provide a <host> that isn't the proper hostname but an alias defined in
the ssh_config without failing the tests. If this is done
dracut-module-setup.sh:kdump_get_remote_ip will fail to obtain the
targets ip address. This failure is not detected and thus will not fail
the initramfs creation. The resulting initramfs however doesn't have the
necessary information for setting up the network and thus will fail to
boot.
Prevent the use of alias hostnames by verifying that the given hostname
is the same one ssh would use after parsing the ssh_config.
Note: Don't use getent ahosts to verify that the given host can be
resolved as this requires the network to be up which cannot be
guaranteed when the kdump.conf is parsed.

osbuild is a tool to build OS images. It uses bwrap to install packages
inside a sandbox/container. Since the kernel package recommends
kexec-tools which in turn recommends grubby, the installation order would
be grubby -> kexec-tools -> kernel. So we can use the kernel hook
92-crashkernel.install provided by kexec-tools to set up kernel
crashkernel for the target OS image. But in osbuild's case, there is no
current running kernel and running `uname -r` in the container/sandbox
actually returns the host kernel release. To set up kernel crashkernel for
the OS image built by osbuild, a different logic is needed.
We will check if kernel hook is running inside the osbuild container
then set up kernel crashkernel only if osbuild hasn't specified a
custome value. osbuild exposes [1] the container=bwrap-osbuild environment
variable. According to [2], the environment variable is not inherited down
the process tree, so we need to check /proc/1/environ to detect this
environment variable to tell if the kernel hook is running inside a
bwrap-osbuild container. After that we need to know if osbuild wants to use
custom crashkernel value. This is done by checking if /etc/kernel/cmdline
has crashkernel set [3]. /etc/kernel/cmdline is written before packages
are installed.

When kexec-tools updates the default crashkernel value, it will try to
reset the existing installed kernels including the currently running
kernel. So the running kernel could have different kernel cmdline
parameters from /proc/cmdline. When installing a kernel after updating
kexec-tools, /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/20-grub.install would be called
by kernel-install [1] which would use /proc/cmdline to set up new kernel's
cmdline. To address this special case, reset the new kernel's crashkernel
and fadump value to the value that would be used by running kernel after
rebooting by the installation hook. One side effect of this commit is it
would reset the installed kernel's crashkernel even currently running kernel
don't use the default crashkernel value after rebooting. But I think this
side effect is a benefit for the user.
The implementation depends on kernel-install which run the scripts in
/usr/lib/kernel/install.d passing the following arguments,
add KERNEL-VERSION $BOOT/MACHINE-ID/KERNEL-VERSION/ KERNEL-IMAGE [INITRD-FILE ...]
An concrete example is given as follows,
add 5.11.12-300.fc34.x86_64 /boot/e986846f63134c7295458cf36300ba5b/5.11.12-300.fc34.x86_64 /lib/modules/5.11.12-300.fc34.x86_64/vmlinuz
kernel-install could be started by the kernel package's RPM scriplet [2].
As mentioned in previous commit "try to reset kernel crashkernel when
kexec-tools updates the default crashkernel value", kdumpctl has difficulty
running in RPM scriptlet fore CoreOS. But rpm-ostree ignores all kernel hooks,
there is no need to disable the kernel hook for CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue. But a
collaboration between rpm-ostree and kexec-tools is needed [3] to take care
of this special case.
Note the crashkernel.default support is dropped.

kexec-tools could update the default crashkernel value.
When auto_reset_crashkernel=yes, reset kernel to new crashkernel
value in the following two cases,
- crashkernel=auto is found in the kernel cmdline
- the kernel crashkernel was previously set by kexec-tools i.e.
the kernel is using old default crashkernel value
To tell if the user is using a custom value for the kernel crashkernel
or not, we assume the user would never use the default crashkernel value
as custom value. When kexec-tools gets updated,
1. save the default crashkernel value of the older package to
/tmp/crashkernel (for POWER system, /tmp/crashkernel_fadump is saved
as well).
2. If auto_reset_crashkernel=yes, iterate all installed kernels.
For each kernel, compare its crashkernel value with the old
default crashkernel and reset it if yes
The implementation makes use of two RPM scriptlets [2],
- %pre is run before a package is installed so we can use it to save
old default crashkernel value
- %post is run after a package installed so we can use it to try to reset
kernel crashkernel
There are several problems when running kdumpctl in the RPM scripts
for CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue, for example, the lock can't be acquired by
kdumpctl, "rpm-ostree kargs" can't be run and etc.. So don't enable this
feature for CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue.
Note latest shellcheck (0.8.0) gives false positives about the
associative array as of this commit. And Fedora's shellcheck is 0.7.2

Rewrite kdumpctl reset-crashkernel KERNEL_PATH as
kdumpctl reset-crashkernel [--fadump=[on|off|nocma]] [--kernel=path_to_kernel] [--reboot]
This interface would reset a specific kernel to the default crashkernel value
given the kernel path. And it also supports grubby's syntax so there are the
following special cases,
- if --kernel not specified,
- use KDUMP_KERNELVER if it's defined in /etc/sysconfig/kdump
- otherwise use current running kernel, i.e. `uname -r`
- if --kernel=DEFAULT, the default boot kernel is chosen
- if --kernel=ALL, all kernels would have its crashkernel reset to the
default value and the /etc/default/grub is updated as well
--fadump=[on|off|nocma] toggles fadump on/off for the kernel provided
in KERNEL_PATH. If --fadump is omitted, the dump mode is determined by
parsing the kernel command line for the kernel(s) to update.
CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue needs to be treated as a special case because,
- "rpm-ostree kargs" is used to manage kernel command line parameters
so --kernel doesn't make sense and there is no need to find current
running kernel
- "rpm-ostree kargs" itself would prompt the user to reboot the system
after modify the kernel command line parameter
- POWER is not supported so we can assume the dump mode is always kdump
This interface will also be called by kexec-tools RPM scriptlets [1]
to reset crashkernel.
Note the support of crashkenrel.default is dropped.

grubby --info=kernel-path or --add-kernel=kernel-path accepts a kernel
path (e.g. /boot/vmlinuz-5.14.14-200.fc34.x86_64) instead of kernel release
(e.g 5.14.14-200.fc34.x86_64). So we need to know the kernel path given
a kernel release. Although for Fedora/RHEL, the kernel path is
"/boot/vmlinuz-<KERNEL_RELEASE>", a path kernel could also be
/boot/<machine-id>/<KERNEL_RELEASE>/vmlinuz. So the most reliable way to
find the kernel path given a kernel release is to use "grubby --info".
For osbuild, a kernel path may not yet exist but it's valid for
"grubby --update-kernel=KERNEL_PATH". For example, "grubby -info" may
output something as follows,
index=0

Add a helper kdump_get_conf_val to replace get_option_value.
It can help cover more corner cases in the code, like when there are
multiple spaces in config file, config value separated by a tab,
heading spaces, or trailing comments.
And this uses "sed group command" and "sed hold buffer", make it much
faster than previous `grep <config> | tail -1`.
This helper is supposed to provide a universal way for kexec-tools
scripts to read in config value. Currently, different scripts are
reading the config in many different fragile ways.
For example, following codes are found in kexec-tools script code base:
1. grep ^force_rebuild $KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE
echo $_force_rebuild | cut -d' ' -f2
2. grep ^kdump_post $KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE | cut -d\ -f2
3. awk '/^sshkey/ {print $2}' $conf_file
4. grep ^path $KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE | cut -d' ' -f2-
1, 2, and 4 will fail if the space is replaced by, e.g. a tab
1 and 2 might fail if there are multiple spaces between config name
and config value:
"kdump_post /var/crash/scripts/kdump-post.sh"
A space will be read instead of config value.
1, 2, 3 will fail if there are space in file path, like:
"kdump_post /var/crash/scripts dir/kdump-post.sh"
4 will fail if there are trailing comments:
"path /var/crash # some comment here"
And all will fail if there are heading space,
" path /var/crash"
And all will most likely cause problems if the config file contains
the same option more than once.
And all of them are slower than the new sed call. Old get_option_value
is also very slow and doesn't handle heading space.
Although we never claim to support heading space or tailing comments
before, it's harmless to be more robust on config reading, and many
conf files in /etc support heading spaces. And have a faster and
safer config reading helper makes it easier to clean up the code.

In case of fadump, the initramfs image has to be built to boot into
the production environment as well as to offload the active crash dump
to the specified dump target (for boot after crash). As the same image
would be used for both boot scenarios, it could not be built optimally
while accommodating both cases.
Use --include to include the initramfs image built for offloading
active crash dump to the specified dump target. Also, introduce a new
out-of-tree dracut module (99zz-fadumpinit) that installs a customized
init program while moving the default /init to /init.dracut. This
customized init program is leveraged to isolate fadump image within
the default initramfs image by kicking off default boot process
(exec /init.dracut) for regular boot scenario and activating fadump
initramfs image, if the system is booting after a crash.
If squash is available, ensure default initramfs image is also built
with squash module to reduce memory consumption in capture kernel.

UEFI Secure boot is a signature verification mechanism, designed to
prevent malicious code being loaded and executed at the early boot
stage. This makes sure that code executed is trusted by firmware.
Previously, with kexec_file_load() interface, kernel prevents unsigned
kernel image from being loaded if secure boot is enabled. So kdump will
detect whether secure boot is enabled firstly, then decide which interface
is chosen to execute, kexec_load() or kexec_file_load(). Otherwise unsigned
kernel loading will fail if secure boot enabled, and kexec_file_load() is
entered.
Now, the implementation of kexec_file_load() is adjusted in below commit.
With this change, if CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG_FORCE is not set, unsigned kernel
still has a chance to be allowed to load under some conditions.
commit 99d5cadfde2b ("kexec_file: split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG
and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE")
And in the current Fedora, the CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG_FORCE is not set, only the
CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG and CONFIG_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG are set on x86_64 by default.
It's time to spread kexec_file_load() onto all systems of x86_64, including
Secure-boot platforms and legacy platforms. Please refer to the following
form.

If dump target is ipv6 address, a host should have ipv6 address ready
before starting kdump service. Otherwise, kdump service fails to start due
to the failure "ssh dump_server_ip mkdir -p $SAVE_PATH".
And user can see message like:
"Could not create root@2620:52:0:10da:46a8:42ff:fe23:3272/var/crash"
I observe a long period (about 30s) on some machine before they got ipv6
address dynamiclly, which is never seen on ipv4 host.
Hence kdump service has a dependency on ipv6 address. But there is no good
way to resolve it. One way is asking user to run the cmd "nmcli connection
modify eth0 ipv6.may-fail false". But this will block systemd until ipv6
address is ready. Despite doing so, kdump can try its best (wait 1 minutes
after it starts up) before failure.
How to implement the wait is arguable. It will involve too many technique
details if explicitly waiting on ipv6 address, instead, just lean on 'ssh'
return value to see the availability of network.

Previous we rebuild the initramfs when kenrel load module list changed,
but this is not very stable as some async services may load/unload
kernel modules, and cause unnecessary initramfs rebuild.
Instead, it's better to just check if the module required to dump to
the dump target is loaded or not, and rebuild if not loaded. This
avoids most false-positives, and ensure local target change is always
covered.
Currently only local fs dump target is covered, because this check
requires the dump target to be mounted when building the initramfs,
this guarantee that the module is in the loaded kernel module list,
else we may still get some false positive.
dracut-install could be leveraged to combine the modalias list with
kernel loaded module list as a more stable module list in the initramfs,
but upstream dracut change need to be done first.

with parameters from previous fadump intird build making the
build parameters look like this after a few iterations:

Currently, we only rebuilt kdump initramfs on config file change,
fs change, or watchdog related change. This will not cover the case
that hardware changed but fs layout and other configurations still
stays the same, and kdump may fail.
To cover such case, we can detect and compare loaded kernel modules,
if a hardware change requires the image to be rebuilt, loaded kernel
modules must have changed.
Starting from commit 7047294 dracut will record loaded kernel modules
when the image is built if hostonly mode is enabled. With this patch,
kdumpctl will compare the recorded value with currently loaded kernel
modules, and rebuild the image on change.
"kdumpctl start" will be a bit slower, as we have to call lsinitrd one
more time to get the loaded kernel modules list. I measure the time
consumption and we have an overall 0.2s increased loading time.
