of printing.

In fedora, systemd take control of services. During bootup and manually
invoke "systemctl restart kdump.service", the standard Output/Error
are all redirected to journal/syslog. Then particular LOGGER is useless
in kdumpctl.
In this patch, remove codes related to LOGGER. But for noticing user,
trying to add substituted printing to Standard Output/Err.

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.

BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874025
(This BZ is against RHEL7 though...)
Depends on dracut patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.initramfs/3043
and depends on latest version of teamd.
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.

Currently the gtk spinbox use 64M as the spin step size, this means user
can only reserve memsize round down to 64M. But in fact user can simply
input the value which is not aligned to step size in the text entry. Also
user can use any value from kernel boot cmdline. Thus it will cause problem:
For example, booting with crashkernel=138M, firstboot spinbox will round down
it to 128M, and show 128M in spinbox value, but actualy reserved label will
show 138M, they are not consistent and confusing.
We have lowerBound value which is 128M, there's no reason to limit the increase
step as 64M, fix this by changeing the step to 1M.
Tested with fedora 18 for different values.

We need fs dump target being mounted firstly before creating mkdumprd
This is because we want to get the mount options from kernel mountinfo
instead of simply mount it without considering mount options.
To avoid the filesystem being used by something other than kdump we
suggest them to mount it as 'ro', mkdumprd will remount it as 'rw' when
necessary and remount it back to 'ro'
In 2nd kernel kdump will still use 'rw' to mount it though.
Tested local read-only mounted fs dump.
[v1->v2]: improve documentation
add error handling for `mount -o remount,ro`

Old po/ folder are not well maintained. All po files are just
same as the outdated pot file.
Translating team need kexec-tools to update it to
the conventional mode so it become available for translating.
Currently old translated po files are not maintained in git.
Instead it's a kexec-tools-po.tar.gz in dist git server.
see kexec-tools.spec: Source13. This patch will maintain them
in po/ and update the contents from lastest source code.
The refresh include below items:
1. update pot file from latest source code.
2. merge old translated po files with the new pot file
3. maintain translated po files in po/ folder
Also updated the Makefile to make the process more easier.
Usage after the update is like below:
a) simple `make` will generate the mo files for installation
b) `make install` will install mo files to locale directory
Above two command are used in rpm spec to install mo files
c) `make merge` will update pot file from source code and merge
translated po files with latest pot file. So it become ready for
translation team to translate
For kexec-tools maintaining, what we need to do is:
Once firstboot_kdump.py is modifed, we should run `make merge`
to update the po files for translation
After po files get translated they need to be copied to po/
and commit to git. Then create a kexec-tools-po.tar.gz and
upload the tar.gz to dist git, also update the checksum in spec
file.
Kdump systemd service should be enabled after installation like what
we do for old sysv init service.
systemctl enable will do daemon-reload automaticlly, so no need to
reload the daemon again. Please see manpage of systemctl about the detail.

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.

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().

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.
