a68bb200f8 save exact route to remote target
Previously for solving static route issues, all routes which go
through a specific dev will be saved in 1st kernel, and then added
in 2nd kernel. Because we use below search pattern, an exception
will happen:
/sbin/ip route show | grep -v default | grep "^[[:digit:]].*via.* $_netdev"

That exception is a corner case which happened when 2 machines connected
directly by cable and the 2 network interfaces are configured in
different network subnets. E.g there are 2 machines A and B:

A:ens10 < ------ > B:ens9

A:ens10  inet 192.168.100.111/24 scope global ens10
route need be added in A:
192.168.110.0/24 dev ens10

B:ens9   inet 192.168.110.222/24 scope global ens9
route need be added in B
192.168.100.0/24 dev ens9

Now if A want to dump to B, the route "192.168.110.0/24 dev ens10"
has to be saved and added in 2nd kernel.

So in this patch "ip route get to $target" command is executed, then
an exact route can be got for going to that target. By this, static
route works and the corner case can be fixed too.

d1483f9b28 kdump: fix save vmcore path for fadump
With fadump support, dracut-kdump.sh script is installed into default
initrd to capture vmcore generated by firmware assisted dump. Thus in
fadump case, the same initrd is being used for normal boot as well as
boot after system crash. Hence a device node, added by firmware while
system crashes, is checked to identify if it is a normal boot or boot
after crash to determine whether or not capture vmcore. While testing
fadump in  fedora21 alpha, observed that  vmcore capture is initiated
even during normal boot, inspite of this check, with the below error:

    "kdump.sh[451]: /bin/kdump.sh: line 5: return: can only `return'
     from a function or sourced script"

The below patch tries to fix this issue.

5379422cd4 Remove kexec-tools-eppic subpackage
Remove this package and put eppic_makedumpfile.so and its sample
scripts in kexec-tools package.

makedumpfile does dlopen() on eppic_makedumpfile.so and that does not
enforce any choice. One could either ship it in kexec-tools package or
in a subpackage. Both will work.

The real reason was that code for eppic_makedumpfile.so
(extension_eppic.c) and some eppic scripts are in upstream makedumpfile
project. And that project is distributed as part of kexec-tools package.

Now breaking down that makedumpfile in two parts and shipping all
eppic specific bits in a separate subpackage was creating confusion
everytime we did some changes.

So to avoid that confusion and to keep all of the makedumpfile related
bits in a single package, this change is being done.

7d8e65d615 ppc64, ppc64le: disable kvm CMA reservation in kdump kernel
By default on powerpc platform, kvm will reserve a relatively large CMA
(128M aligned) at early boot. In kdump kernel, even KVM sounds useless
but still it reserves 128M and makes kdump kernel fail to boot.

Now fix this by adding the following to kernel command line:

"kvm_cma_resv_ratio=0"

which disable the CMA reservation.

013bb485b8 module-setup: do not add duplicate ip=xxx
In case of iscsi boot, kernel cmdline will contain ip=xxx kernel
parameter for dracut setting up iscsi root in initramfs. For example:

"root=xxx ip=192.168.3.26:::255.255.255.0:localhost.localdomain:eno19:none ..."

dracut doesn't allow duplicate ip conf for the same network card. dracut
will not ignore the either of the duplicate. Instead, it refuses to
continue:

[   15.876306] dracut: FATAL: For argument 'ip=192.168.3.26:::255.255.255.0:localhost.localdomain:eno19:none'\n
Duplication configurations for 'eno19'
[   16.055513] dracut: Refusing to continue ev argument for multiple ip= lines

That's why in our code we don't add a duplicate ip conf when handling
the same network card the second time. But we never consider the case
that ip conf is already added in kernel cmdline for some special
purpose, for example, iscsi boot.

Now we also look up /proc/cmdline for ip conf. If it exists, we use the
existing one. The existing one should work out of box because dracut
will handle it in second kernel like it does for first kernel. That
said, the network card will be brought up and root disk will be mounted
under /sysroot.

0aa4890cc5 mkdumprd: try to get mount options from fstab first
Previously if a target need mount info, the relevant mount options
are got from /proc/mounts by below command:
findmnt -k -f -n -r -o OPTIONS $_dev

This will bring problems. Since /proc/mounts will give out a set
which contains each option. Some options have value specified by
user, some options just have default value if user doesn't specify.
If some mount options are not supported very well, bugs occured.
The more options, the worse.

So in this patch, we try to check fstab to get mount options firstly,
this give user a chance to decide which options they really want.
If they don't give a fstab entry, then we trust all options in
/proc/mounts.

b8b1667e2c udev-rules: Restart kdump service on cpu ADD/REMOVE events
This patch changes restart of kdump service from cpu online/offline events
to cpu add/remove events.

Some people have complained that they are running cpu online/offline tests
at high frequency and kdump restarts at high frequency and systemd disables
the service. As a temporary fix, we committed a patch to never disable
kdump service.

In general it probably is a good idea to restart kdump service on cpu
add/remove events.

Toshi Kani confirmed following.

- File for /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/crash_notes will be created first
  before ADD event goes out. That means we can not miss creating EFL notes
  for newly created cpu.

- For REMOVE event files under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/ are removed
  first and then REMOVE event goes out. That means we will remove the elf
  note header for removed cpu.

- There are some race conditions like a cpu is removed but system crashes
  before kdump service restarts. In that case vmcore.c has to be more robust
  to be able to inspect elf notes and discard empty ones.

  Also it is possible that after cpu remove, crash notes memory got reused
  for something else and after crash vmcore.c might see some random data.
  It does basic size checks and discards elf notes if checks don't pass.

  Above rance conditions can happen even with OFFLINE event and there is
  no good way to remove these altogether. So making vmcore.c more robust
  is the right solution here.

    kexec/ppc64: disabling exception handling when building the purgatory

    Some Linux distributions would like to turn on the GCC exception handling

    kexec: Provide an option to use new kexec system call

    Hi,

    This is v2 of the patch. Since v1, I moved syscall implemented check littler
    earlier in the function as per the feedback.

    Now a new kexec syscall (kexec_file_load()) has been merged in upstream
    kernel. This system call takes file descriptors of kernel and initramfs
    as input (as opposed to list of segments to be loaded). This new system
    call allows for signature verification of the kernel being loaded.

    One use of signature verification of kernel is secureboot systems where
    we want to allow kexec into a kernel only if it is validly signed by
    a key system trusts.

    This patch provides and option --kexec-file-syscall (-s), to force use of
    new system call for kexec. Default is to continue to use old syscall.

    Currently only bzImage64 on x86_64 can be loaded using this system call.
    As kernel adds support for more arches and for more image types, kexec-tools
    can be modified accordingly.

In fadump, in case of failure while rebuilding initrd, the error status
is not handled properly. See code snippet below:

    $MKDUMPRD $target_initrd_tmp --rebuild $TARGET_INITRD --kver $kdump_kver \
            -i /tmp/fadump.initramfs /etc/fadump.initramfs
    rm -f /tmp/fadump.initramfs
    if [ $? != 0 ]; then
        echo "mkdumprd: failed to rebuild initrd with fadump support" >&2
        return 1
    fi

This patch fixes this issue

2276b8561c Introduce kdump capture service
This patch introduce a new kdump-capture.service which is used to run
kdump.sh.

kdump-capture.service has OnFailure=emergency.target and
OnFailureIsolate=yes set. When kdump.sh fails, the kdump emergency
service will be triggered and enter the error handling path.

In 2nd kernel, the default target for systemd is initrd.target, so we
put kdump-capture.service in initrd.target.wants/ and by that, system
will start kdump-capture as part of the boot process.

kdump.sh used to run in dracut-pre-pivot hook. Now kdump-capture.service
is placed after dracut-pre-pivot.service and other dependencies are all
copied from dracut-pre-pivot.service. So the start point of
kdump.sh will be almost the same as it used to be.

002337c671 Introduce kdump error handling service
Now upon failure kdump script might not be called at all and it might
not be able to execute default action. It results in a hang.

Because we disable emergency shell and rely on kdump.sh being invoked
through dracut-pre-pivot hook. But it might happen that we never call
into dracut-pre-pivot hook because certain systemd targets could not
reach due to failure in their dependencies. In those cases error
handling code does not run and system hangs. For example:

sysroot-var-crash.mount --> initrd-root-fs.target --> initrd.target \
  --> dracut-pre-pivot.service --> kdump.sh

If /sysroot/var/crash mount fails, initrd-root-fs.target will not be
reached. And then initrd.target will not be reached,
dracut-pre-pivot.service wouldn't run. Finally kdump.sh wouldn't run.

To solve this problem, we need to separate the error handling code from
dracut-pre-pivot hook, and every time when a failure shows up, the
separated code can be called by the emergency service.

By default systemd provides an emergency service which will drop us into
shell every time upon a critical failure. It's very convenient for us to
re-use the framework of systemd emergency, because we don't have to
touch the other parts of systemd. We can use our own script instead of
the default one.

This new scheme will overwrite emergency shell and replace with kdump
error handling code. And this code will do the error handling as needed.
Now, we will not rely on dracut-pre-pivot hook running always. Instead
whenever error happens and it is serious enough that emergency shell
needed to run, now kdump error handler will run.

dracut-emergency is also replaced by kdump error handler and it's
enabled again all the way down. So all the failure (including systemd
and dracut) in 2nd kernel could be captured, and trigger kdump error
handler.

dracut-initqueue is a special case, which calls "systemctl start
emergency" directly, not via "OnFailure=emergency". In case of failure,
emergency is started, but not in a isolation mode, which means
dracut-initqueue is still running. On the other hand, emergency will
call dracut-initqueue again when default action is dump_to_rootfs.
systemd would block on the last dracut-initqueue, waiting for the first
instance to exit, which leaves us hang. It looks like the following:

dracut-initqueue (running)
  --> call dracut-emergency:
    --> dracut-emergency (running)
      --> kdump-error-handler.sh (running)
        --> call dracut-initqueue:
          --> blocking and waiting for the original instance to exit.

To fix this, I'd like to introduce a wrapper emergency service. This
emegency service will replace both the systemd and dracut emergency. And
this service does nothing but to isolate to real kdump error handler
service:

dracut-initqueue (running)
  --> call dracut-emergency:
    --> dracut-emergency isolate to kdump-error-handler.service
      --> dracut-emergency and dracut-initqueue will both be stopped
          and kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh.

In a normal failure case, this still works:
foo.service fails
  --> trigger emergency.service
    --> emergency.service isolates to kdump-error-handler.service
      --> kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh

de95c74a76 mkdumprd: append "x-initrd.mount" to the mount options.
Now when mount in /etc/fstab fails, systemd would not consider it as
critical and it would continue to boot. In fact, emergency service is
triggered, but not in a isolation mode, and it results in the emergency
service getting shutdown at some point later of the boot process. We
need isolation otherwise we won't see any emergency service.

That is because in kdump initramfs, mount units specified in /etc/fstab
are required by "local-fs.target". When any of these mounts fails,
local-fs.target fails.

For kdump initramfs, we need to isolate to emergency service on any of
the mount failure, that said, every service should be stopped and onlu
emergency service would run. But local-fs.target won't trigger that on
its failure. That means in case of mount failure, local-fs.target also
enters failure state, but all the service will continue without any
interruption.

After digging looking into source code of systemd-fstab-generator. I
find "x-initrd.mount" using in initramfs mount, will make the mount
units required by "initrd-root-fs.target" rather than it's used to be
"local-fs.target".

"initrd-root-fs.target" is suitable to us because if it fails, it will
isolate to emergency service. That means in case of any mount failure,
the emergeny service will start and everything else will stop. We want
this effect because we need to take kdump fail-safe action when there's
a mount failure.

From systemd unit point of view, "initrd-root-fs.target" has
OnFailureIsolate=yes, but "local-fs.target" doesn't. From
systemd.unit(5):

OnFailureIsolate=
    Takes a boolean argument. If true, the unit listed in OnFailure=
    will be enqueued in isolation mode, i.e. all units that are not its
    dependency will be stopped. If this is set, only a single unit may
    be listed in OnFailure=. Defaults to false.

NOTE: Harald who contributed "x-initrd.mount" in systemd, confirmed that
      this feature will stay.

0787accc4e cleanup: mount dump target under /sysroot in 2nd kernel
This patch does the following change in 2nd kernel:
 - dump target is mounted under /sysroot

With this change,  we don't need to track what we've mounted in 2nd
kernel. We can just umount recursively every mount in /sysroot by
command:

  umount -R /sysroot

It's very convenient to do so, because it's hard to track what we've
mounted when we're in error handling path (later patches). So mount
everything under /sysroot is reasonable and practical for us.

Also clean up a bit along with this patch.

3b27570bea cleanup: extract functions from kdump.sh to kdump-lib-initramfs.sh
Extract functions from kdump.sh, and construct kdump-lib-initramfs.sh as
kdump common functions/varaibles library.

kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will include kdump-lib.sh, because it will use
the functions from there. IOW, kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will be a superset
of kdump-lib.sh

So after this cleanup:

- scripts running in 1st kernel only have to include kdump-lib.sh
- scripts running in 2nd kernel only have to include kdump-lib-initramfs.sh

7f2717aa0a dracut-kdump.sh: Issue a sync after saving vmcore-dmesg.txt
Recently somebody reported an issue where vmcore-dmesg.txt was saved
successfully but later saving vmcore failed to due to lack of space on disk.
System rebooted but after reboot there was nothing on disk. Not even
vmcore-dmesg.txt.

Issue a sync after saving vmcore-dmesg.txt to solve this issue.

I think this is happening because we are doing "reboot -f" instead of going
through systemd reboot path. Anyway, doing a sync now should take care of
this.

78589a3207 kdump: Check whether or not to invoke capturing vmcore
The script dracut-kdump.sh is  responsible for capturing vmcore during
second kernel boot.  Currently this  script  gets installed into kdump
initrd as part of kdumpbase dracut module.

With fadump support, 'dracut-kdump.sh' script also gets installed into
default initrd to capture  vmcore generated by firmware assisted dump.
Thus in fadump case, the  same initrd is  going to be used for  normal
boot as well as boot after system crash. Hence a  check is required to
see if it is a normal boot or boot after crash.

A new node "ibm,kernel-dump" is added, to the device tree, by firmware
to notify kernel if it is booting after crash.  The below patch adds a
check for this node  before executing  steps to  capture vmcore.  This
check will help bypassing  the vmcore capture steps during normal boot
process.
