Currently kexec-tools always depend on dump target to be mounted, which
caused some inconvenience for setup.
So for user configured target, allow kdump to start and build initramfs
even if target is not mounted.
When a mounted user configured target is used, the behavior is not
changed.
When a unmounted user configured target is used, mkdumprd will look for
corresponding mount info in fstab, and a entry with noauto option is
founded, mkdumprd will try to mount it inplace with optoins specified
in fstab and do basic checks on the device, then umount it.
If there is no fstab entry, mkdumprd will try to mount it in temporary
path with defaults option, do same basic check and umount it.
If there is a fstab entry but "noauto" option is not used, then there
must be some reason that the target device is not mounted, mkdumprd will
error out.
When path based target is used, there is no behavior change.

By this point, there is still an unresolved vfs kernel issue that blocks
systemd from mounting the dump target properly from time to time. To
prevent systemd from failing by mounting the dump target, we can add
nofail option to the kdump mount point.
But adding nofail will wipe out default dependency of the mount point,
see commit 94a7b43, so systemd randomize the order of calling kdump.sh
and mounting the dump target and lead to unexpected behavior.
However we can use x-systemd.before to ensure the mount is done
in right order.
In dracut-kdump-capture.service, we have "After=initrd.target",
and look at dracut.bootup.7, systems start processing of fstab by
initrd-fs.target, so set "After=initrd.target" could ensure the mount
is ready before pre-pivot and kdump-capture service.
Now with both nofail and x-systemd.before=initrd.target, systemd
will try to mount the dump target before calling kdump, and even if the
mount failed, kdump.sh will still be called and try to mount again. See
dump_fs function, which will try to mount if the target is not mounted.
Kdump will only fail if both mount attemp fails.
Else if the kdump target mount failed or unstable, systemd will directly
jump to kdump failure action, and kdump fails.
This should improve the robustness in general with no other risk.

This partially reverts commit 6dee286467.
There are reports that NFSv3 is failing after this commit, and after
more debug, I found NFSv4 may not work properly if
"nfs4_disable_idmapping" is set to 0.
The cause of the failure is that kdump.sh runs after dracut's pre-pivot
and clean up hook, many dracut module will install hooks to kill some
running services, so if the dump target requires a service to be running
but it's killed, mount will fail.
Dracut ensures the configured mount points are ready before pre-pivot.
After pre-pivot, any further mounting operation may not work as expected.
Although there is no report of other type of dump target failure except
NFSv3, it's better to revert this, to avoid other potential risk, and wait
for a proper fix for that systemd/kernel issue.
Else, this may bring more trouble for further development.
But still keep the change in kdump-lib-initramfs.sh for better
robustness.

For user specified target, the config value is used as the dump target,

Current code logic is not only complicated, it also wrongly generate

The right way is only check two things, and do nothing else:
1. The path exists within the target;
2. The target is large enough to hold to contain the vmcore.

Previously dracut_args is stored as an array in the shell code,
so we can just pass this array as argument to dracut.
But when trying to append new dracut argument, we have to manually
handle the quotes and spaces to ensure the appended argument is
splitted into array elements in the right way.
This is complex and hard to read or maintain. Instead, just store the
dracut_args as a plain string, and let xargs help parse it and call
dracut.
Simply passing $dracut_args or "$dracut_args" will either let dracut
consider the whole string as a single argument, or loss all the
quotes. xargs can handle it well and cover more corner cases.
Eg. one corner case before, if we have:
dracut_args --mount "/dev/sda1 /mnt/test xfs rw"
Kdump will fail, because the function add_dracut_arg() will wrongly
change the arguments into: (Notice the extra space.)
dracut_args --mount " /dev/sda1 /mnt/test xfs rw"
Instead of fixing it just use xargs instead. Tested with above config
and multiple other dracut_args values.

Currently we use "\b" (word boundary) as the delimiter for ro option,

So we use a more strict logic on detecting ro mount option. It should
either starts with "," or "^" (begin of line) and ends with "," or "$"
(end of line), and keep the delimiter untouched. This should ensure
only valid mount option got detected and replaced.
This passed following tests:

If nofail or nobootwait option is used, systemd's local-fs.target won't
wait for the mounting to complete, and kdump might start before the
required mount point is ready and then fail.
The host might use nofail for reasons like the device may get unpluged,
and if the device is not mounted and it is set as kdump target as the same
time then kdump service won't start, we will never enter the capture
kernel. By the time we have entered the capture kernel, the target device
must exist and ready to use, or else kdump would fail anyway. So force
remove nofail and nobootwait option.
Also drop rootflags=nofail option, as we don't depend on rootfs anymore

need a more strict hostonly policy for multipath device to save memory.

hostonly mode to strict.

It is not a problem actually, sorry for the noise.
Although root set different "PATH" can lead to wrong script, but it is
different with what the bug described "current working dir" and it is

Since we call dracut directly on current working directory "." so it is
possible to trick root to call fake code.

Dracut has "--hostonly-cmdline" which can generate cmdlines(if any)
regarding the dump target, it's an existing way for us to use to

But "--hostonly-cmdline" has other issues(e.g. BZ1451717), it adds
needless devices for kdump like root device.
Now dracut supports "--no-hostonly-default-device" which enables
us to only add the kdump target, which can avoid needless devices
being recognized under kdump. Thus "--hostonly-cmdline" side effects

watchdog option and there exists at least one active watchdog device then
also kexec-tools adds "-a watchdog" in dracut args.
Therefore, if an user does not want to add kernel watchdog module in
initramfs then the person must pass "-o watchdog" in dracut_args.

Resolves: BZ1348898
dracut-functions.sh defines a get_persistent_dev(). Earlier, we had another
local get_persistent_dev() in mkdumprd, however that was moved to
kdump-lib.sh, so that it can be reused in kdumpctl.
Since, dracut-module-setup.sh (which is dracut's
99kdumpbase/module-setup.sh) sources kdump-lib.sh. Therefore, once dracut
will execute 99kdumpbase module, it's own get_persistent_dev() function is
overwritten by kdump's version. If any other dracut module calls
get_persistent_dev() thereafter then, kdump's version is executed, which was
not expected.
Therefore rename kdump's get_persistent_dev() as kdump_get_persistent_dev()
to avoid any name contention.

to_dev_name() and get_persistent_dev() can be used by function in kdumpctl.
Therefore moving them to kdump-lib.sh.
No functional changes.

raw devices are not mounted and also does not need to contain any
filesystem. So they may have UUIDs(when formatted) and may not have UUIDs
when raw. Therefore, do not look for persistent names by-uuid for raw
devices.

Ifcfg depends on network module, which is quite large and useless
when using a local dump target. Also we don't really need ifcfg to
setup network interfaces. So just remove it.
On fedora22, the uncompressed dumprd would decrease about 20MB when
using a local dump target. A regression testing is also conducted with
targets of nfs and ssh.

Customer found when specify "noauto" option in fstab for nfs mount,
dump failed.
The reason is if "noauto" option is specified in fstab, the mount entry
in fstab related to dump target will passed to dracut and stored in
kdump initrd. Then during kdump kernel boots this entry containing
"noauto" will be ignored by mount service. This cause dump failing.
In fact with "noauto" not only nfs dump will fail, non-root disk dump
will fail too. root disk dump can dump successfully since root disk can
always be mounted by systemd.
So now "noauto" need be filtered out when the fstab entry corresponding
to dump target contains "noauto".
Changelog:
v4 -> v5
code comment is not clear enough. supplement it.
