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.

[PATCH] check for invalid physical address of /proc/kcore when making ELF dumpfile
Previously when executing makedumpfile with -E option against
/proc/kcore, makedumpfile will fail:
# makedumpfile -E -d 31 /proc/kcore kcore.dump
...
write_elf_load_segment: Can't convert physaddr(ffffffffffffffff) to an offset.
makedumpfile Failed.
It's because /proc/kcore contains PT_LOAD program headers which have
physaddr (0xffffffffffffffff). With -E option, makedumpfile will
try to convert the physaddr to an offset and fails.
Skip the PT_LOAD program headers which have such physaddr.

makedumpfile uses max_paddr to calculate the number of sections for
sparse memory model thus wrong number is obtained based on max_paddr

This patch fixes bz1941106 and bz1941905 which passed empty rd.znet to the
kernel command line in the following cases,
- The IBM (Z15) KVM guest uses virtio for all devices including network
device, so there is no znet device for IBM KVM guest. So we can't
assume a s390x machine always has a znet device.
- When a bridged network is used, kexec-tools tries to obtain the znet
configuration from the ifcfg script of the bridged network rather than
from the ifcfg script of znet device.
We can iterate /sys/bus/ccwgroup/devices to tell if there if there is
a znet network device. By getting an ifname from znet, we can also avoid
mistaking the slave netdev as a znet network device in a bridged network
or bonded network.
Note: This patch also assumes there is only one znet device as commit
7148c0a30d ("add s390x netdev setup")
which greatly simplifies the code. According to IBM [1], there could be
more than znet devices for a z/VM system and a z/VM system may have a
non-znet network device like ConnectX. Since kdump_setup_znet was
introduced in 2012 and so far there is no known customer complaint that
invalidates this assumption I think it's safe to assume an IBM z/VM
system only has one znet device. Besides, there is no z/VM system found
on beaker to test the alternative scenarios.

- Kdump shell won't generate a rdsosreport automatically
- Customized prompts
- Never ask root password
- Won't tangle with dracut's emergency_action. If emergency_action is
set, dracut emergency shell will perform dracut's emergency_action
instead of kdump final_action on exit.
- If rd.shell=no is set, kdump shell will still work, dracut emergency

The wrapper is introduced in commit 002337c, according to the commit
message, the only usage of the wrapper is when dracut-initqueue calls
"systemctl start emergency" directly. In that case, emergency
is started, but not in a isolation mode, which means dracut-initqueue
is still running. On the other hand, emergency will call
"systemctl start 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.
In previous commit we added initqueue status detect in dump_to_rootfs,
so now even without the wrapper, it will not hang.
And actually, previously, with the wrapper, emergency might still hang
for like 30s. When dracut called emergency service because initqueue
timed out, dump_to_rootfs will try start initqueue again and timeout
again. Now with the wrapper removed, we can avoid these two kinds of
hangs, bacause without the isolation we can detect initqueue service
status correctly in such case.
Also remove the invalid header comments in service file, the service
is not part of systemd code. And sync the service spec with dracut.

kdump's dump_to_rootfs will try to start initqueue unconditionally.
dump_to_rootfs will run after systemd isolate to emergency
target, so this is currently accetable.
But there is a problem when initqueue starts the emergency action
because of initqueue timeout. dump_to_rootfs will start initqueue and
lead to timeout again.
So following patch will remove the previous isolation wrapper, and
detect the service status here. Previous isolation makes the detection
impossible. Now this detection will be valid and helpful to prevent
double timeout or hang.

If the dump target is the root disk, kdump scripts add an entry in
/etc/fstab for root disk with /sysroot as the mount point. The root
disk, passed through root=<> kernel commandline parameter, is mounted
at /sysroot in read-only mode before switching from initial ramdisk.
So, in fadump mode, a remount of /sysroot to read-write mode is needed
to capture dump successfully, because /sysroot is already mounted as
read-only based on root=<> boot parameter.
Commit e8ef4db8ff ("Fix dump_fs mount point detection and fallback

the options the dump target was mounted with, leading to the below
