Current blacklist option is different from the option in rhel6. In current
implementation blacklist just means omit the driver, but it should really
be preventing it being loaded in initramfs.
To keep consistent, just make the option as deprecated. User is suggested
to user dracut kernel cmdline rd.driver.blacklist instead.
[v1->v2]: improve man page description, thanks Vivek.
Tested in kvm guest with rd.driver.blacklist in kdump sysconfig

Because makedumpfile is not supported on ppc and s390, so it makes
no sense to create the eppic_makedumpfile sub-package if there is
no makedumpfile binary to run it with.
Remove eppic contents related to ppc and s390 in kexec-tools.spec. This
will not build and install eppic on ppc and s390.
There's one mistake in rules related to eppic in kexec-tools.spec,
that caused kexec-tools-eppic to fail installation of i386. In this
patch remove that line of rule.
Meanwhile update eppic_030413.tar.gz.
This feature enables us to specify rules to scrub data in a
dumpfile with eppic macro instead of the current configuration
file (makedumpfile.conf). Currently, this feature works only
for symbols in vmlinux while the current feature can work also
for module symbols.
This library is backported from upstream, integrated and tested by
Dave Anderson.
If CORE_COLLECTOR is makedumpfile, "-F" is only allowed on ssh/raw,
removing it when dump_to_rootfs is necessary.

Firstly rename dump_rootfs to dump_to_rootfs to remove the ambiguity
about dump_rootfs. Then add it as one of default options. That means
user can specify dump_to_rootfs to be default action manually, then
it will take action when specified target dump failed.
Secondly, in rhel7 and fedora, when default action is not specified,
the default 'default' is dump_to_rootfs. Namely when specified target
dump failed, the kdump initrd will mount root and save kdump from
initramfs context. However in rhel6, the default 'default' is 'reboot'.
That means when specified target dump failed, the kdump initrd will
reboot systems. For being consistent with rhel6, change the default
'default' back to 'reboot'. And this can also keep logic simple, easier
to understand. Primarily, Our default dump target is root filesystem.
So keeping "default" as "dump_to_rootfs" and trying to dump to root
filesystem again when first attempt fails does not make much sense.
Meanwhile add the relevant description into kdump.conf,kdump.conf.5
and kexec-kdump-howto.txt.

Previously to_dev_name use blkid to get dev name from dump target,
but blkid can not handle UUID/LABEL with quotes so to_dev_name will
silently fail.
Because we enforce dump target being mounted before creating kdump
initrd, so change to use findmnt is fine. findmnt can handle input
params with quotes.
to_dev_name is not necessary anymore, just remove it.
Also there's another user of it is for checking if the dev is root
or not, here change to use findmnt for this as well.
Tested the rootfs dump, UUID with/without quotes dump.

In old code, kdumpctl program exit directly when check_ssh_target failed
without printing "Starting kdump: FAILED". Then when manually invoke
"kdumpctl restart", only print "Stopping kdump: OK", but no "Starting
kdump: FAILED". That is unreasonable.
In this patch change check_ssh_target() to return when it failed. Then
check the returned value in start() function and print status if the
returned value is not 0.
Meanwhile change "space" to "tab" in function check_ssh_target(), make
those be consistent with the whole script file.

tune sysconfig to save 2nd kernel memory usage
The memory in 2nd kernel is limited, we need to use as less memory as we can
to ensure vmcore capturing ok.
I'm doing below improvements in this patch:
1)
numa support is not necessary for kdump kernel, so disable it by adding numa=off
to save some kernel mm memory usage.
2)
Also add udev.children-max=2 to cmdline to limit max udev chidren processes.
3)
For ppc64, ehea driver will by default enable multi queue feature which will
use a lot of memory. Almost each ppc machine will oom for network(ssh/nfs)
kdump. The module param use_mcs=0 is used to disable multi queue feature.
Tested these params on an IBM machine with 2 numa nodes which ooms even for
local dump to rootfs.
With this patch oom does not happen for local/ssh dump, but for nfs dump oom
still happens in the middle of makedumpfile vmcore copying. So there should be
other improvement yet.
For ehea driver there's other params we can use, but because it's hard to
measure the saved memory, I'm waiting for input from IBM people. We can add
them later.

This reverts commit 05b67ee95c.
The old commit was merged for a emergent bug fixing on release 1.5.1
of makedumpfile. Now the upstream has been updated to v1.5.3, and this
patch has been included already.
For updating to makedumpfile v1.5.3, revert it.
In previous implementation of get_host_ip, global variable HOST_IP
is used to be a intermediate variable. In this case, if finally
failed to get HOST_IP, the original default value is also overwritten.
It's buggy.
Eg. in ssh case, when faied to get host ip, the default local host ip
"127.0.0.1" is lost too. that's not expected.
Change it by adding a local variable as intermediate variable.

In previous patch, get_host_ip was introduced to make the dump dir
more readable and back compatible with rhel6. But the implementation
is not good, making variable DATEDIR ambiguous. In this patch, modify
those codes to make it clearer.
About code checking returned value of get_host_ip, if not zero the
function do_default_action is called. That looks buggy, it will
continue going through the later code flow. Add FINAL_ACTION after
invoking do_default_action.

This patch adds support for team devices on kdump side.
I tested team active-backup mode and round-robin mode,
vmcore can be dumped over ssh successfully.
Note, currently we don't support stacked devices
on/under team, it is tricky and can be added on request.
