Simplify the management of the kernel parameter crashkernel
Currently, kexec-tools only updates the crashkernel to a new default
value only when both two conditions are met,
- auto_reset_crashkernel=yes in kdump.conf
- existing kernels or current running kernel should use the old default
value.
To address seen corner cases, the logic to tell if the second condition
is met becomes quite complex. Instead of making the logic more complex
to support aarch64-64k, this patch drops the second condition to
simplify the management of the crashkernel kernel parameter.
Another change brought by this simplification is kexec-tools will also
set up the kernel crashkernel parameter for a fresh install (previously
it's limited to osbuild).
Note
1. This patch also stop trying to update /etc/default/grub because
a) it only affects the static file /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
b) grubby is recommended to change the kernel command-line parameters
for both Fedora [1] and RHEL9 [2][3]
c) For the cases of aarch64 and POWER, different kernels could have
different default crashkernel value.
2. Starting with Fedora 37, posttrans rpm scriplet distinguish between
package install and upgrade.

kdump-lib: fix the matching pattern for debug-kernel
On aarch64, a 64k kernel's name looks like:
vmlinuz-5.14.0-300.el9.aarch64+64k and the corresponding debug kernel's
name looks like: vmlinuz-5.14.0-300.el9.aarch64+64k-debug, which ends
with the suffix -debug instead of +debug.

kdump-lib: always specify version in is_squash_available
is_squash_available is only used in dracut-module-setup.sh and mkdumprd.
Neither of the two scripts calls prepare_kdump_bootinfo which determines
and sets KDUMP_KERNELVER. Thus KDUMP_KERNELVER is only non-zero if it
explicitly specified by the user in /etc/sysconfig/kdump (and the file
gets sourced, which is not the case for drachu-module-setup.sh).
In theory this can even lead to bugs. For example consider the case when
a debug kernel is running. In that case kdumpctl will try to use the
non-debug version of the kernel while is_squash_available will make its
decision based on the debug version. So in case the debug kernel has
squash available but the non-debug kernel doesn't mkdumprd will try to
add it nevertheless.
Thus factor out the kernel version detection from prepare_kdump_bootinfo
and make use of the new function when checking for the availability of
those kernel modules.

kdumpctl: Add basic UKI support
A Unified Kernel Image (UKI) is a single EFI PE executable combining an
EFI stub, a kernel image, an initrd image, and the kernel command line.
They are defined in the Boot Loader Specification [1] as type #2
entries. UKIs have the advantage that all code as well as meta data that
is required to boot the system, not only the kernel image, is combined
in a single PE file and can be signed for EFI SecureBoot. This extends
the coverage of SecureBoot extensively.
For RHEL support for UKI were included into kernel-ark with 16c7e3ee836e
("redhat: Add sub-RPM with a EFI unified kernel image for virtual
machines").
There are two problems with UKIs from the kdump point of view at the
moment. First, they cannot be directly loaded via kexec_file_load and
second, the initrd included isn't suitable for kdump. In order to enable
kdump on systems with UKIs build the kdump initrd as usual and extract
the kernel image before loading the crash kernel.

the old design requires lots of subshells and pipes.

mkdumprd: call dracut with --add-device to install the drivers needed by /boot partition automatically for FIPS
Currently, kdump doesn't work on many FIPS-enabled systems including
Azure, ESXI, Hyper, POWER and etc. When FIPS is enabled, it needs to
access /boot//.vmlinuz-xxx.hmac to verify the integrity of the kernel.
However, on those systems, /boot fails to be mounted due to a lack of
fs and block device drivers and the system just halted after failing to
verify the integrity of the kernel. For example, on Hyper-V, sd_mod, sg,
scsi_transport_fc, hv_storvsc and hv_vmbus need to be installed in order
for /boot to be mounted.
mkdumprd calls dracut with the --no-hostonly-default-device. Following
the documentation (man dracut),
--no-hostonly-default-device
Do not generate implicit host devices like root, swap, fstab, etc.
Use "--mount" or "--add-device" to explicitly add devices as needed
this patch uses "--add-device" to explicitly add the device of /boot.
Note there is already an attempt to fix it in dracut's 01fips module
i.e. via the commit 83651776 ("fips: ensure fs module for /boot is
installed"). Unfortunately it only installs the file system driver e.g.
xfs.

kdumpctl: lower the log level in reset_crashkernel_for_installed_kernel
Although upgrading the kernel with `rpm -Uvh` is not recommended, the
kexec-tools plugin prints confusing error logs when a customer upgrades the
kernel through it.
```
kdump: kernel 5.14.0-80.el9.x86_64 doesn't exist
kdump: Couldn't find current running kernel
```
Not finding the currently running kernel will only make kdump unable to copy the
grub entry parameters to the newly installed kernel, so lower the log level.

This is not user-friendly and users may think kdump has got stuck. So
also show much time has waited for the network to be ready,

Note kdump_get_ip_route no longer prints an error message and it's up to
the caller to determine the log level and print relevant messages. And
kdump_collect_netif_usage aborts when kdump_get_ip_route fails.

Tell nmcli to not escape colon when getting the path of connection profile

When a NetworManager connection profile contains a colon in the name,
"nmcli --get-values UUID,FILENAME" by default would escape the colon
because a colon is also used for separating the values. In this case,
99kdumpbase fails to get the correct connection profile path,
kdumpctl[5439]: cp: cannot stat '/run/NetworkManager/system-connections/static-52\\\:54\\\:01.nmconnection': No such file or directory

As a result, dumping vmcore to a remote nfs would fail.
In our case of getting connection profile path, there is no need to escape the
colon so pass "-escape no" to nmcli,

Install nfsv4-related drivers when users specify nfs dumping via dracut_args
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2140721
Currently, if users specify dumping to nfsv4 target via
dracut_args --mount "<NFS-server-ip>:/var/crash /mnt nfs defaults"
it fails with the following errors,
[ 5.159760] mount[446]: mount.nfs: Protocol not supported
[ 5.164502] systemd[1]: mnt.mount: Mount process exited, code=exited, status=32/n/a
[ 5.167616] systemd[1]: mnt.mount: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
[FAILED] Failed to mount /mnt.
This is because nfsv4-releted drivers are not installed to kdump initrd.
mkdumprd calls dracut with "--hostonly-mode strict". If nfsv4-related
drivers aren't loaded before calling dracut, they won't be installed.
When users specify nfs dumping via dracut_args, kexec-tools won't mount
the nfs fs beforehand hence nfsv4-related drivers won't be installed.
Note dracut only installs the nfs driver i.e. nfsv3 driver for "--mount
... nfs". So also install nfsv4-related drivers when users specify nfs
dumping via dracut_args. Since nfs_layout_nfsv41_files depends on nfsv4,
the nfsv4 driver will be installed automatically.
As for the reason why we support nfs dumping via dracut_args instead of
asking user to use the nfs directive, please refer to commit 74c6f464
("Support special mount information via 'dracut_args'").

kdump-lib: attempt to fix BOOT_IMAGE detection
Currently $boot_img can get bad data if running on a platform
that doesn't set BOOT_IMAGE in the kernel command line. For
example, currently:
- s390x Fedora CoreOS machine:
```
[root@cosa-devsh ~]# sed "s/^BOOT_IMAGE=\((\S*)\)\?\(\S*\) .*/\2/" /proc/cmdline
mitigations=auto,nosmt ignition.platform.id=qemu ostree=/ostree/boot.0/fedora-coreos/2a72567ac8f7ed678c3ac89408f795e6ccd4e97b41e14af5f471b6a807e858b9/0 root=UUID=2a88436a-3b6b-4706-b33a-b8270bd87cde rw rootflags=prjquota boot=UUID=f4b2eaa5-9317-4798-85cf-308c477fee4c crashkernel=600M
```
where on a platform that uses GRUB we get:
- x86_64 Fedora CoreOS machine:
```
[root@cosa-devsh ~]# sed "s/^BOOT_IMAGE=\((\S*)\)\?\(\S*\) .*/\2/" /proc/cmdline
/ostree/fedora-coreos-af4f6cc7b9ff486cfa647680b180e989c72c8eed03a34a42e7328e49332bd20e/vmlinuz-5.18.5-200.fc36.x86_64
```
We should change the setting of the boot_img variable such that it will
be empty if BOOT_IMAGE doesn't exist.
With this change on the s390x machine:
```
[root@cosa-devsh ~]# grep -P -o '^BOOT_IMAGE=(\S+)' /proc/cmdline | sed "s/^BOOT_IMAGE=\((\S*)\)\?\(\S*\)/\2/"
[root@cosa-devsh ~]#
```
This change mattered much more before the change in c5bdd2d which changed
the following line from [[ -n $boot_img ]] to [[ "$boot_img" == *"$kdump_kernelver" ]].
Still I think this change has merit.

Upstream: RHEL-only
After leapp upgrade from 8.8 to 9.2 on Azure, RHEL9 kernel has
crashkernel=auto. This happens because kexec-tools's posttrans scriptlet
is executed before kernel's posttrans scriptlet (which in turn runs the
kernel-install hooks). One of the kernel-install hook is responsible for
adding a new boot entry for the new kernel. So when kexec-tools's posttrans
scriptlet is running, RHEL9 kernel is yet to have a boot entry so
kexec-tools couldn't set up the crashkernel parameter. Later one
kernel-install hook makes RHEL9 kernel inherit crashkernel=auto.
Fix this issue by letting 92-crashkernel.install reset crashkernel=auto.

for the loopback device. So skip installing driver for the loopback device.
The loopback interface is implemented in linux/drivers/net/loopback.c
and always has the name "lo". So we can safely tell if a network
interface is the loopback interface by its name.

Don't try to update crashkernel when bootloader is not installed
Currently when using anaconda to install the OS, the following errors
occur,
INF packaging: Configuring (running scriptlet for): kernel-core-5.14.0-70.el9.x86_64 ...
INF dnf.rpm: grep: /boot/grub2/grubenv: No such file or directory
grep: /boot/grub2/grubenv: No such file or directory
grep: /boot/grub2/grubenv: No such file or directory
grep: /boot/grub2/grubenv: No such file or directory
...

INF dnf.rpm: grep: /boot/grub2/grubenv: No such file or directory
grep: /boot/grub2/grubenv: No such file or directory
grep: /boot/grub2/grubenv: No such file or directory
Or for s390, the following errors occur,
INF packaging: Configuring (running scriptlet for): kernel-core-5.14.0-71.el9.s390x ...
03:37:51,232 INF dnf.rpm: grep: /etc/zipl.conf: No such file or directory

INF packaging: Configuring (running scriptlet for): kexec-tools-2.0.23-9_1.el9_0.s390x ...
INF dnf.rpm: grep: /etc/zipl.conf: No such file or directory
This is because when anaconda installs the packages, bootloader hasn't
been installed and /boot/grub2/grubenv or /etc/zipl.conf doesn't exist.
So don't try to update crashkernel when bootloader isn't ready to avoid
the above errors.
Note this is the second attempt to fix this issue. Previously a file
/tmp/kexec_tools_package_install was created to avoid running the
related code thus to avoid the above errors but unfortunately that
approach has two issues a) somehow osbuild doesn't delete it for RHEL b)
this file could still exist if users manually remove kexec-tools.

Currently, vmcore dumping to remote fs fails on Azure Hyper-V VM with

fadump: use 'zstd' as the default compression method
If available, use 'zstd' compression method to optimize the size of
the initrd built with fadump support. Also, 'squash+zstd' is not
preferred because more disk space is consumed with 'squash+zstd' due
to the additional binaries needed for fadump with squash case.

fadump: fix default initrd backup and restore logic
In case of fadump, default initrd is rebuilt with dump capturing
capability, as the same initrd is used for booting production kernel
as well as capture kernel.
The original initrd file is backed up with a checksum, to restore
it as the default initrd when fadump is disabled. As the checksum
file is not kernel version specific, switching between different
kernel versions and kdump/fadump dump mode breaks the default initrd
backup/restore logic. Fix this by having a kernel version specific
checksum file.
Also, if backing up initrd fails, retaining the checksum file isn't
useful. Remove it.

fadump: preserve file modification time to help with hardlinking
With commit fa9201b2 ("fadump: isolate fadump initramfs image within
the default one"), initramfs image gets to hold two images, one for
production kernel boot purpose and the other for capture kernel boot.
Most files are common among the two images. Retain file modification
time to replace duplicate files with hardlinks and save space. Also,
avoid unnecessarily compressing fadump image that is decompressed
immediately anyway.

fadump: do not use squash to reduce image size
With commit fa9201b2 ("fadump: isolate fadump initramfs image within
the default one"), initramfs image gets to hold two squash images, one
for production kernel boot purpose and the other for capture kernel
boot. Having separate images improved reliability for both production
kernel and capture kernel boot scenarios, but the size of initramfs
image became considerably larger.
Instead of having squash images, compressing $initdir without using
squash images reduced the size of initramfs image for fadump case by
around 30%. So, avoid using squash for fadump case.

Latest Workstation live x86_64 image has an excess increase of ~300 MB
in size. This is because kdumpbase module's trap handler overwrites
dracut's handler and DRACUT_TMPDIR which has three unpacked initramfs
files fails to be cleaned up. This patch moves kdumpbase module's
temporary folder under DRACUT_TMPDIR and lets dracut's trap handler do
the cleanup instead.
