MEM_RESERVED is for checking if crash memory is reserved or not.
Originally it use /proc/iomem for x86, parsing /proc/cmdline for ppc.
This cause problems for crashkernel=auto, because it does not fit for
the regular expression of [0-9]\+[MmKkGg]@[0-9]\+[MmGgKk]
Fix this by use /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for all arches.
After the fix the code is more clear than before.
[v1->v2] vivek: add space between "crash kernel"; remove misleading warning.

ssh will send local stdin input to remote side, this cause trouble
when we call ssh in the loop of parsing kdump.conf.
Ie. if we specify both 'ssh' and 'core_collector' option in kdump.conf,
and put 'core_collector' behind 'ssh', there will be no chance to
handle 'core_collector' because in get_ssh_size() ssh eat all the later
input of the while loop.
Fix this by use /dev/null as stdin in get_ssh_size().
Tested in fedora kvm guest.

ssh: add random feeding code
openssh usually depends on /dev/urandom to seeding PRNG (pseudo-random number
generator). To ensure there's sufficient entropy just feed /dev/urandom with
saved /var/lib/random-seed which is saved in installing phase.
dracut_install will print error message, so just exit and do not print error
again.

For devices with filesystem, udev /dev/disk/by-uuid/* links are usually
reliable. But one exception is multipath devices, child and top layer
device may have same uuid.
As dm devices maintain /dev/mapper/* as persistent names, so converting to
/dev/mapper/* firstly then try by-uuid/* and by-id/*
Also because user know better what's the persistent name we just document well
to suggest user use persistent name in kdump.conf. it's suggested to
to use lvm or multipath canonical names or uuid/label.

vmcore-dmesg: Do not write beyond end of buffer
scan_vmcoreinfo() currently assumes that every vmcoreinfo note line ends
with \n and overwrites new line with \0. But last entry in note, CRASHTIME=
does not end with \n and this leads to corrupting memory as we write beyond
end of buffer.
Normally things were fine but when I added some fields to vmcoreinfo, this
bug started showing and vmcore-dmesg started crashing.
I am planning to send a patch to fix this in kernel but it might be good
idea to handle this case in user space too so that vmcore-dmesg works
fine with cores of older kernels.

vmcore-dmesg: vmcore-dmesg: Make it work with new structured logging format
Now kernel has made kernel logging structured and exsisting vmcore-dmesg
does not work with this new format. Hence kernel version 3.5 is broken. In
3.6 now a kernel patch has been put which exports relevant fields. This
patch parses those fields and makes vmcore-dmesg work with new logging
format.
Currently it does not display log levels or dictionary. I personally think
that log levels are not very useful and it also requires additional kernel
patches so that log levels are not bitfields and relevant information is
exported to user space properly.
Concept of dictionary is new and relevant information is exported. One can
possibly enahnce vmcore-dmesg to also print dictionary contents based on
a user command line option.

Copy comments from the bz:
In rhel7 onwards, we will require dump target filesystem to be mounted in first kernel so that kdump can make use of same mount options instead of trying to come up with its own mount options. This should make mounting that file system safer. Also it reduces complexity in kdump code.
That will mean one needs to put an entry for the dump file system in /etc/fstab
so that after reboot when kdump service starts, it can find the dump target and build initramfs instead of failing.
For raw device upon complex storage such as multipath and iscsi
dracut does not resolve the module dependency automaticlly,
I sent a patch for the device pass via dracut argument "--device"
see below for reference:
