In 2.0.4, Cliff from HP posted 2 patches:
e35aa29 kexec: include reserved e820 sections in crash kernel
4932034 kexec: lengthen the kernel command line image
However, with both of them kdump kernel may fail to boot, and
are useless because of restriction in kernel side. In upstream,
they have been reverted. Now back port these 2 revert commits.
Also since the commit 1a4e90b has dependency, back port commit
dc607e4 which is depended on by commit 1a4e90b too.
1a4e90b Revert "kexec: include reserved e820 sections in crash kernel"
dc607e4 kexec: i386: Add cmdline_add_memmap_internal() to reduce the code duplication
8274916 Revert: "kexec: lengthen the kernel command line image"
Currently in the whole kdump framework, we have some common functions
used across not only mkdumprd context and dracut context, but also 1st
kernel and 2nd kernel. We defined these functions at each script, which
is obviously not decent.
So let's introduce kdump-lib.sh for the shared functions and put it
to /lib/kdump/kdump-lib.sh.
It starts small, as you can see, only 3 functions are extracted. But in
the future more and more common functions can be added.

Percent signs in .spec files get expanded as macros. Currently in kexec-tools.spec,
'%{dist}' are appended to changelog item. This older changelog is not correctly for
rhel7 with this. Let's remove it to make it clearer.
Fedora 18 changes the way how to work with services in spec files.
It introduces new macros - %systemd_post, %systemd_preun and
%systemd_postun. These macros are functionally equivalent to the
manual scriptlets used in older versions of Fedora.
By using the new unified RPM macros the .spec file code is
simplified a lot.

Currenty the kexec-tools package contains udev rules for kdump
that reload kdump in case of memory or CPU hotplug:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules
SUBSYSTESUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart kdump.service"
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="offline", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart kdump.service"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart kdump.service"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="remove", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart kdump.service"
On other architectures the rules are necessary because the memory
and CPU layout stored in the kdump in-memory ELF header at kdump
load time. Therefore the kdump kernel has to be reloaded each
time when the CPU or memory configuration changes.
This has drawbacks:
1. During kdump reload the system can't be dumped.
2. On systems with many hotplug events (e.g. on s390 with cpuplugd)
this creates significant overhead
The reload is not necessary on s390 because there the ELF header is
created in the 2nd (kdump) kernel. Therefore, to improve things,
remove the rules for s390.
Log is from IBM, and patch has been tested by IBM and work well.

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.
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.

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.

currently kexec-tools maintains kdump dracut modules as below dir hierarchy:
[dave@localhost fedpkg]$ tree kexec-tools/kdump_dracut_modules
kexec-tools/kdump_dracut_modules
`-- 99kdumpbase
|-- kdump.sh
`-- module-setup.sh
But in kexec-tools.spec, sources line is below:
Source100: dracut-files.tbz2
So we need to manually generate the dracut-files.tbz2, upload it, modify
the sources file which contains the md5sum of these binaies, and then do
the building. The more headache problem is this make local tests of
changes to kdump module hard.
To ease future work, move the files to TOPDIR, cp the sources instead.
Thanks for help from dzickus
[v1->v2]: Also remove dracut-files.tbz2 from sources file
ChaoWang: add prefix to dracut files
Add ssh dump support
changes including below items:
1. sshkey option
2. sshkey propagate
3. fix a bug of _server ip calculation for dump target string
4. change the prefix of kdump hook from 93 to 01 to avoid dhclient and
other cleanups happening before us
5. enable network with dracut cmdline rd.neednet=1 when there's network
target config
[v1 - v2]:
Only check_ssh_target when there's ssh dump target in kdump config file
[v2 -> v3]
style fixes: trailing spaces and space before tab indent
remove set -x
simply check_ssh_target
