Squash module is used to save memory. For fadump this is not neccessary
and may slow down the build time, and make it more fragile.
fadump initramfs is used for normal boot as well, although squash module
is capable of being used for generic normal boot, but there are cases
where is doesn't work well. So disable it and make fadump more robust.

When someone is using a minimal kernel without squash module installed,
including squash dracut module will either either fail to build or fail to
boot the initramfs.
As kdump always build the image for one single kernel, we can safely just
use modprobe to check if a modules is already built in, or it exists and
loadable for the kernel we are using for kdump image, and don't include
the squash module if they are missing. Everything will still work just
fine without squash module.
We do the check in kdump dracut modules not in squash dracut module
because kdump dracut module could leverage of the KDUMP_KERNELVER variable
to know which kernel it should check against, squash dracut module may be
used to build for a generic image.
And we only check for the kernel module dependency, other binary
dependencies are either well checked or well declared in dracut.

Introduce tri-state hostonly mode
multipath-hostonly module was introduced only for kdump, because kdump
need a more strict hostonly policy for multipath device to save memory.
Now multipath module will provide the behave we wanted by setting
hostonly mode to strict.
Kdump always use _proto=dhcp for both ipv4 and ipv6. But for ipv6
the dhcp address assignment is not like ipv4, there are different ways
for it, stateless and stateful, see below document:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IPv6Guide
In case stateless, kernel can do the address assignment, dracut use
_proto=auto6; for stateful case, dracut use _proto=dhcp6.
But it is hard to decide whether stateless or stateful takes effect,
hence, dracut introduces ip=either6 option, which can try both of these
method automatically for us. For detail, refer to dracut:
commit 67354ee 40network: introduce ip=either6 option
We do not see bug reports before because for the most auto6 cases
kernel assign ip address before dhclient, kdump just happened to work.

when the drives are cloned to a system with the same hardware, but

So kdump should decide whether to include the hostonly module.
The multipath-hostonly can help kdump to include only the needed mpath device,
in order to use less memory by 2nd kernel.

Currently, systemd uses 90s as the default mount unit timeout
(see "man 5 systemd-system.conf " for "DefaultTimeoutStartSec"),
in some cases, although it works well in 1st kernel, it's not
enough under kdump and results in mount timeout, further results
in kdump dumping failure.
We've met several such issues, we decided to enlarge this default
value a little for kdump.
We know that dracut has a default initqueue timeout value of 180s
("rd.retry"), we finalized a little larger value 300s as kdump's
default timeout if there is no explicit "DefaultTimeoutStartSec=X,
specified by users.
"DefaultTimeoutStartSec=X" can be overridden by individual mount
option "x-systemd.device-timeout=X", users can specify their own
values as needed.
This patch achieves the purpose by creating a dedicated conf file
"/etc/systemd/system.conf.d/kdump.conf" which has the content of
"DefaultTimeoutStartSec=300s", this is based on the fact that all
the conf files will be parsed by systemd and the last parsed one
will be used if there are duplicate definitions.

After some debugging, found it due to a misuse in code below:
if [ is_generic_fence_kdump -o is_pcs_fence_kdump ]; then
_dep="$_dep network"
fi
The "if" condition always results in "true", and should be
changed as follows:
if is_generic_fence_kdump -o is_pcs_fence_kdump; then
_dep="$_dep network"
fi
After this, network won't be involved in non-network dumping,
as for dumpings require network such as nfs/ssh/iscsi/fcoe/etc,
dracut will add network accordingly. And kdump initramfs size
can be reduced from 24MB to 17MB tested on some real hardware,
and from 19MB to 14MB on my kvm. Moreover, it could avoid the

Since the current dracut of Fedora already supports not always
mounting root device, we can remove "root=X" from the command
line directly, and always get the dump target specified in
"/etc/kdump.conf" and mount it. If the dump target is located
at root filesystem, we will add the root mount info explicitly
from kdump side instead of from dracut side.
For example, in case of nfs/ssh/usb/raw/etc(non-root) dumping,
kdump will not mount the unnecessary root fs after this change.
This patch removes "root=X" via the "KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_REMOVE"
(if "default dump_to_rootfs" is specified, don't remove "root=X"),
and mounts non-root target under "/kdumproot", the root target
still under "/sysroot"(to be align with systemd sysroot.mount).
After removing "root=X", we now add root fs mount information
explicitly from the kdump side.
Changed check_dump_fs_modified() a little to avoid rebuild when
dump target is root, since we add root fs mount explicitly now.

[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Emergency Mode.
This is because in case of root failure, initrd-root-fs.target
will trigger systemd emergency target which requires the systemd
emergency service actually is kdump-emergency.service, then our
kdump-emergency.service starts kdump-error-handler.service with
"systemctl isolate"(see 99kdumpbase/kdump-emergency.service, we
replace systemd's with this one under kdump).
This will lead to systemd two contradictable jobs queued as an
atomic transaction:
job 1) the emergency service gets started by initrd-root-fs.target
job 2) the emergency service gets stopped due to "systemctl isolate"
thereby throwing "Transaction is destructive".
In order to solve it, we can utilize "IgnoreOnIsolate=yes" for both
kdump-emergency.service and kdump-emergency.target. Unit with attribute
"IgnoreOnIsolate=yes" won't be stopped when isolating another unit,
they can keep going as expected in case be triggered by any failure.
We add kdump-emergency.target dedicated to kdump the similar way
as did for kdump-emergency.service(i.e. will replace systemd's
emergency.target with kdump-emergency.target under kdump), and
adds "IgnoreOnIsolate=yes" into both of them.

For kdump, we don't have too many lvm targets, lvm2 locates in the

people, they agreed that we use 1MB under kdump as long as there
are not that many lvm targets invloved.
We modify /etc/lvm/lvm.conf when "99kdumpbase" install() is executed,

When a remote dump target is specified, kdump dracut module prefixes
'kdump-' to network interface name (ifname) as kernel assigned names
are not persistent. In fadump mode, kdump dracut module is added to
the default initrd, which adds the 'kdump-' prefix to the ifname of
the prodcution kernel itself. If fadump mode is disabled after this,
kdump dracut module picks the ifname that is already prefixed with
'kdump-' in the production kernel and adds another 'kdump-' to it,
making the ifname something like kdump-kdump-eth0 for kdump kernel.
Eventually, kdump kernel fails with below traces:
dracut-initqueue[246]: RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

The trailing 0 from kdump-kdump-eth0 is missing in the ifname, probably

There are some complaints about nfs kdump that users must mount
nfs beforehand, which may cause some overhead to nfs server.
For example, there're thounsands of diskless clients deployed with
nfs dumping, each time the client is boot up, it will trigger
kdump rebuilding so will mount nfs, thus resulting in thousands
of nfs request concurrently imposed on the same nfs server.
We introduce a new way of specifying mount information via the
already-existent "dracut_args" directive(so avoid adding extra
directives in /etc/kdump.conf), we will skip all the filesystem
mounting and checking stuff for it. So it can be used in the
above-mentioned nfs scenario to avoid severe nfs server overhead.
Specifically, if there is any "--mount" information specified via
"dracut_args" in /etc/kdump.conf, always use it as the final mount
without any validation(mounting or checking like mount options,
fs size, etc), so users are expected to ensure its correctness.
NOTE:
-Only one mount target is allowed using "dracut_args" globally.
-Dracut will create <mountpoint> if it doesn't exist in kdump kernel,
<mountpoint> must be specified as an absolute path.
-Users should do a test first and ensure it works because kdump does
not prepare the mount or check all the validity.

There are several kinds of iSCSI mode rhel support currently.
- Pure hardware iSCSI
- iBFT iSCSI
- Pure software iSCSI
Except for the 1st one that firmware takes care of everything to
make it behave like a local disk, both iBFT and pure software iSCSI
mode need pass information to kdump kernel for configuring them
correctly.
Currently kdump takes iBFT mode as a software iSCSI and collects
the related information to set up software iSCSI in 2nd kernel,
though dracut can detect and collect information to set up iBFT
iSCSI of 2nd kernel. This brings up 2 problems:
1) Redundent information about the related iSCSI is collected. One
is done by kdump, the other is from dracut.
2) These 2 sessions of 2nd kernel for a certain session of 1st kernel
could contain two "ip=xxx" cmdline option. This will cause cmdline
handling error in dracut.
The 1st one is not critical while the 2nd is. In order to avoid above
2 problems, kdump need detect iBFT mode iSCSI and leave it to dracut.
This is what is done in this patch.

Kdump will parse the hostname to get the ip address, if hostname is
specfied in /etc/kdump.conf. We will get the ip address(ipv4 or ipv6,
according to the DNS server) by using "getent hosts".
For now, it is more reasonable that we shall get all of the ip
address(including ipv4 and ipv6 address) which point to the hostname by
using "getent ahosts". And we will prefer to use the ipv4 address, if
both ipv4 and ipv6 address work.
The reason why we choose the ipv4 as preferred address is to solve the
issue kdump will fail to connect the hostname machine(parsed as ipv6
address), due to the DNS server is ipv4 address in 2nd kernel.

Previously, Kdump will save route to setup the network route in the 2nd
kernel for ipv4 protocol. To support ipv6 protocol, make Kdump fetch
correct nexthop, since the ruturning format is different.
In order to enhance kdump to support ipv6, support the static ip for
ipv6 protocol, which ipv4 has supported already.
Introduce a new lib function get_remote_host which is used to factor out
the ip address(ipv4 or ipv6) and hostname in /etc/kdump.conf.
Introduce a new lib function is_ipv6_address which is used to make sure
whether the passed ip address is ipv4 or ipv6.
Introduce a new lib function is_hostname which is used to confirm
whether the passed parameter is hostname, not the ip address.
Introduce a new function get_ip_route_field which is used to factor out
the specified string in ip route info.
Due to the different format between ipv4 and ipv6 protocol, quote the
ipv6 address with bracket "[]" to make dracut notify.

For now, Kdump will use ipv4 address as dump directory, and it works, if
ipv4 is enabled.
Once Kdump start to support ipv6 protocol, we may only setup the ipv6
address exclusively. Modify the code to make Kdump work in either ipv4
and ipv6 protocol.

Now Kdump will ingore the DNS config in /etc/resolv.conf, when it
generates the initram. And most users do not concern about this issue,
because they never use deployment tools to configure machines
environment, like puppet.
It is more convenient to add the DNS config to /etc/resolv.conf for
people who use deployment tools to configure machines concurrently.

We have added *wdt in kdump initramfs, but to improve it more we can do below
(1) load wdt drivers as early as possible so that we can save time before wdt timeout
some drivers like iTCO_wdt can stop the watchdog while driver initialization, so
it can give more chance for kdump.
It can save time especially in case some drivers take long time to init, like
some storage and networking cards.
(2) add only used wdt drivers in kdump initrd instead of add *wdt
wdt driver layer need a change so that we can get the proper driver name from
/dev/watchdog. Question to this is are we sure 1st kernel use /dev/watchdog
instead of /dev/watchdog1? It need more investigation.
(3) in case a driver can not stop (nowayout?) during module_init, we need load it
as early as possible and kick the watchdog. Likely we can use systemd default
watchdog functionality.
This patch is about to address (1), and specially for iTCO_wdt, we only tested
iTCO_wdt, thus in this patch only add this driver, need investigate on other drivers
later to see if other drivers works in this way.

Kdump will dump the vmcore in incorrect target directory, if the target
is bind mounted.
As commented in the previous patch, we can construct the real path in
Atomic, which contains two part, one bind mounted path, the other
specified dump path. Then replace the path as the real path in
/etc/kdump.conf.
findmnt can find the real path for nfs, although the path is in bind
mode. So nfs can work well with the path in bind mode.

Now kdump cannt parse the path correctly, if the path contains
duplicated "/". Following is an example to explain it detail. (the
directory /mnt is a mount point which is mounted a block device)
path //mnt/var/crash
Then the warning will raise.
Force rebuild /boot/initramfs-3.19.1kdump.img
Rebuilding /boot/initramfs-3.19.1kdump.img
df: ‘/mnt///mnt/var/crash’: No such file or directory
/sbin/mkdumprd: line 239: [: -lt: unary operator expected
kexec: loaded kdump kernel
Starting kdump: [OK]
For above case, kdump fails to check the fs size, due to the incorrect
path.
In kdump code flow, we will cut out the mount point(/mnt) from the
path(//mnt/var/crash). But the mount point cannt match the path, because
of the duplicated "/".
To fix it, we will strip the duplicated "/" firstly.

Harald warned it's dangerous to use /tmp/*$$* in shell scripts of dracut
modules.
Quote his saying as below:
***************************
This can be exploited so easily and used to overwrite e.g. /etc/shadow.
The only thing you have to do is waiting until the next time the kdump
initramfs is generated on a kernel update.
If at all, please use "$initdir/tmp/" because $initdir is a mktemp generated
directory with a non-guessable name!

So make a clean up in this patch.

Steve found a bug. When mount a disk in /var and not specify path
in /etc/kdump.conf, the vmcore will be dumped into /var/crash of
that disk, but not /crash on that disk.
This is because when write the parsed path into /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
in default_dump_target_install_conf() of mkdumprd, it uses below
sed command. So if no path specified at all, this sed command won't
add it to /tmp/$$-kdump.conf. Then in 2nd kernel it will take default
path, namely "/var/crash" as path if no path in /etc/kdump.conf in
2nd kernel.
sed -i -e "s#$_save_path#$_path#" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
According to Dave Young's suggestion, erase the old path line and then
insert the parsed path. This can fix it.
v2->v3:
erase the old path line and then insert the parsed path.
sed -i -e "s#^path[[:space:]]\+$_save_path##" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
echo "path $_path" >> /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
v3->v4:
Change the sed pattern, erase lines starting with "path" and then
insert the parsed path.
sed -i -e "s#^path.*##" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
echo "path $_path" >> /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
v4->v5:
Chaowang suggested using sed command d to remove the whole line
like below:
sed -i "/^path/d" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
echo "path $_path" >> /tmp/$$-kdump.conf

Chao pointed out that it's better to use get_option_value to get
get a specific config_val.
And also there's a potential risk when use below sed command to
do the replacement.
sed -i -e "s#$_save_path#$_path#" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
Say user configure kdump.conf like the following. Then sed may
replace "/var/crash/post.sh" with something else, depanding on
mount point.
kdump_post /var/crash/post.sh
path /var/crash
So in this patch clean them up.

Certain kernel parameters like min_free_kbytes can be configured at runtime
using sysctl. While this is useful in first kernel, it can lead to unnecessary
failures like OOM in kdump kernel. This patch enforces default vaules for all

Once login using ssh, the ssh will store the known hosts entry to the
local ~/.ssh/known_hosts. From now, we can login using ssh automaticly.
The ssh will check the ~/ssh/.known_hosts entry, if set the option
StrictHostKeyChecking=yes/ask in the config or command line, when you
want to login the target. the default value of StrictHostKeyChecking is
ask.
And the kdump using the ssh will append the option
StrictHostKeyChecking=yes in the command line.
We can using following ip to connect peer machine, if enable the ipv6.
fe80::5054:ff:fe48:ca80%eth0
Obviously, above ip contains the ethX.
Kdump will add the prefix "kdump-" before ethX to avoid flowing
netdevice name in case netdevice names ethX in the 2nd kernel. So the
ip address will change to fe80::5054:ff:fe48:ca80%kdump-eth0.
Kdump will login the target manully in the 2nd kernel, because of the
option StrictHostKeyChecking=yes and inexistence known hosts entry
in the local ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Hence dumping core will fail.
In order to login automaticly using ssh, we should add the prefix
"kdump-" before ethX in the local ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

For ethX, it may fail to setup the network in the 2nd kernel due to the
mapping of ethernet device name and MAC changes.
The commit(ba7660f37e) has fixed this
issue by add the prefix "kdump-" before ethX. But the network will fail
to work in the static route mode because of this commit.
Here is the config which is used to setup the static route:
rd.route=192.168.201.215:192.168.200.137:eth1
Obviously, the static route config comtains the ethX. But the network
device names kdump-ethX in the 2nd kernel, so the static route config
will fail to execute. To fix it, we should identify the network device.
Add the prefix "kdump-" before the ethX in the static route config to
setup it successfully in the 2nd kernel.
