kdumpctl passes --device argument if dump target is a raw device. It passes
--mount argument if dump target is either mounted as nfs or as a bulk
device. When dump target device is a root device then it does not pass any
of the above two arguments.
After kdumpctl restart, if there is any change in file system which needs
different dracut arguments, then initramfs must be rebuild.
Modification in filesystem for a raw target does not affect dracut
arguments. So, we do not consider to check any modification if raw target
was specified in kdump.conf.
We might need to change dracut arguments if there is some changes in nfs
and ssh target related files. However, we do not consider them in this
patch.
We mainly consider changes in bulk target specified in kdump.conf. We also
consider changes in bulk and nfs file system, if there was no dump target
specified in kdump.conf but dump path is mounting such file systems.
So the initramfs must be rebuild if, either dump target's persistent path
or it's mount point or its file system type changes. If there is no dump
target specified then, both dump path and root path must mount same device,
otherwise rebuild should be triggered.
Some of the examples when we can need a rebuild:
-- "dump target" is specified as one of ext[234], xfs or btrfs. But after
kdump initramfs building its UUID is changed by reformatting.
-- "dump target" is specified as file system type fs1 (say ext3). But after
kdump initramfs building, user change it to fs2 (say ext4), probably by
a mkfs.ext4 executing on the target device.
-- "dump target" is not specified, but "dump path" mounts a device which
is different than device for root path and either UUID or file system type
is modified after kdump initramfs build.
-- "dump target" is not specified, but "dump path" mounts a nfs device and
nfs host path changes after kdump initramfs build.
Some testing:
Initial conditions:
-- No dump target specified
-- dump path (/var/crash) and root(/) are on same device
-- kdumpctl was already executed once after last modification in
/etc/kdump.conf

Previously /boot is asumed as the default dir where kernel and initrd
is put. However, the directory containing the running kernel image
on Atomic systems differs in each installation. Usually something like:
/boot/ostree/rhel-atomic-host-b50a015b637c353dc6554c851f8a1212b60d6121a7316715e4a63e2a4113cd72
This means that kdump will not find vmlinuz when installed on an
Atomic host, and thus the kdump service will fail to start.
In this patch, the kdump boot dir finding behaviour is a little changed.
Firstly check whether user has specify a directory explicitly in
/etc/sysconfig/kdump. If yes that is respected. Otherwise we assume
1st kernel and kdump kernel are put in the same place under /boot.
Then find it according /proc/cmdline and append it to /boot/
Note:
So now the KDUMP_BOOTDIR in /etc/sysconfig/kdump is set as empty
by default. If user set KDUMP_BOOTDIR to a directory, then he need to
take care of all related things himself. otherwise kdump script handle
it automatically.

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.

The current kdump infrastructure builds a separate initrd which then
gets loaded into memory by kexec-tools for use by kdump kernel. But
firmware assisted dump (FADUMP) does not use kexec-based approach.
After crash, firmware reboots the partition and loads grub loader
like the normal booting process does. Hence in the FADUMP approach,
the second kernel (after crash) will always use the default initrd
(OS built). So, to support FADUMP, change is required, as in to add
dump capturing steps, in this initrd.
The current kdumpctl script implementation already has the code to
build initrd using mkdumprd. This patch uses the new '--rebuild'
option introduced, in dracut, to incrementally build the initramfs
image. Before rebuilding, we may need to probe the initrd image for
fadump support, to avoid rebuilding the initrd image multiple times
unnecessarily. This can be done using "lsinitrd" tool with the newly
proposed '--mod' option & inspecting the presence of "kdumpbase" in
the list of modules of default initrd image. We rebuild the image if
only "kdumpbase" module is missing in the initrd image. Also, before
rebuilding, a backup of default initrd image is taken.
Kexec-tools package in rhel7 is now enhanced to insert a out-of-tree
kdump module for dracut, which is responsible for adding vmcore
capture steps into initrd, if dracut is invoked with "IN_KDUMP"
environment variable set to 1. mkdumprd script exports "IN_KDUMP=1"
environment variable before invoking dracut to build kdump initrd.
This patch relies on this current mechanism of kdump init script.

== Version 1 ==
A recent patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/15/42) enables multiple
processors in the crash kernel.
To do this safely the crash kernel needs to know which CPU was the 1st
kernel BSP (bootstrap processor) so that the crash kernel will NOT send
the BSP an INIT. If the crash kernel sends an INIT to the 1st kernel
BSP, some systems may reset or hang.
The EFI spec doesn't require that any particular processor is chosen
as the BSP and the CPU (and its apic id) can change from one boot to
the next. Hence automating the selection of CPU to disable if the
system would panic is desired.
This patch updates the kdumpctl script to get the "initial apicid"
of CPU 0 in the first kernel and will pass this as the
"disable_cpu_apicid=" arguement to kexec if it wasn't explicitly
set in /etc/sysconfig/kdump KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND.
CPU 0 is chosen as it is the processor thats execute the OS
initialization
code and hence was the BSP as per x86 SDM (Vol 3a Section 8.4.)

If the system is configured fence kdump, we need to update kdump
initramfs if cluster or fence_kdump config is newer.
In RHEL7, cluster config is no longer keeping locally but stored
remotely. Fortunately we can use a pcs tool to retrieve the xml based
config and parse the last changed time from that.
/etc/sysconfig/fence_kdump is used to configure runtime arguments to
fence_kdump_send. So We have to pass the arguments to 2nd kernel.
When cluster config or /etc/sysconfig/fence_kdump is newer than local
kdump initramfs, we must rebuild initramfs to adapt changes in cluster.

We only allow one instance of kdump service running at each time by
flock /var/lock/kdump which is opened as fd 9 in kdumpctl script.
However a leaking fd issue has been discovered by SELinux:
When executing a specific shell command (not the shell built-in but
provided by other packages, in this case - restorecon) in kdumpctl,
current shell will fork a new subshell for executing and
the subshell will inherit open fd 9 from parent shell. And SELinux
detects that subshell is holding the open fd and consider fd 9 is
leaked.
To avoid this kind of leaking, the most easy way seems to be breaking our
kdumpctl code out into two parts:
- A top level parent shell, which is only used to deal with the lock and
invoking the subshell below.
- A 2nd tier level subshell, which is closing the inherited open fd at
very first and doing the rest of the kdumpctl job. So that it isn't
leaking fd to its subshell when executing like restorecon, etc.
To be easy to understand, the callgraph is roughly like below:
[..]
--> open(9)
--> flock(9)
--> fork
--> close(9) <-- we close 9 right here
--> main() <-- we're now doing the real job
--> [..]
--> fork()
--> restorecon <-- we don't leak fd 9 to child process
--> [..]
--> [..]
As shown above, a wrapper main() is added as the 2nd tier level shell in
this kind of call model. So we can completely avoid leaking fd to
subshell.

trigger OOM. So let's remove hugepages and hugepagesz kernel parameters
for 2nd kernel when 1st kernel are using them.
If user wants huge pages cmdline in 2nd kernel, he/she can still specify
it through KERNEL_COMMANDLINE_APPEND in /etc/sysconfig/kdump.
This patch adds a new function remove_cmdline_param(). It takes a list
of kernel parameters as its arguments and remove them from given kernel
cmdline.
update:
1. Add description of remove_cmdline_param() per Vivek.
2. Remove_cmdline_param() will take kernel cmdline as $1, then strip it
and print the result.

Dracut root fs is always mounted, but it's not guaranteed to success
because we are in crash/kdump context. So selinux policy can not only
depends on chroot load_policy.
Per discussion with Vivek and Selinux people, relabel kdump files
when the service restart.
Currently only below cases are considerd:
1. target mounted in 1st kernel
2. target mounted as rw, if user mount it as 'ro' they will have to
relabel the files by themselves.
3. save path is not masked, this means if /var/crash is mount to another
disk which is different from dump target it will not visible to user
so user need manually relabel them.
4. only local filesystem based targets.
Tested on F19 machine.
Tested local fs dump and network dump along with different save path
to address above mentioned cases.
Vivek: use function name is_dump_target_configured
use getfattr -m "security.selinux" instead of ".*"
Daniel: use restorecon instead of chcon.
dyoung: keep minix in local fs list since it has not been deperacated yet.
Vivek: wrap is_dump_target_configured checking in function path_to_be_relabeled
dyoung: use awk instead of cut to print config value for different
space delimeters
dyoung: mute df error message: `df $_mnt/$_path 2>/dev/null`
For nfs restorecon, since it will be in 3.11 kernel, we can add it when it's
ok in Fedora.

mkdumprd call dracut to rebuilding kdump initrd, sometimes passing extra
dracut args is helpful. For example user can enable debug output with
--debug, --printsize to print roughly increased initramfs size by each module,
--omit-drivers to omit kernel modules, etc.
This patch enables dracut_args option for passing extra args to dracut.
Also it modifies add_dracut_arg() to treat a string with-in quote as single
string because for dracut options which has its own args, the args need to be
quoted and space seperated.
If add_dracut_arg() gets an string read from kdump.conf and if that string
contains double quotes, then while converting to positional parameters
those double quotes are not interpreted. Hence if /etc/kdump.conf contains
following.
dracut_args --add-drivers "driver1 driver2"
then add_dracut_args() sees following positional parameters
$1= --add-drivers
$2= "driver1
$3= driver2"
Notice, double quotes have been ignored and parameters have been broken
based on white space.
Modify add_dracut_arg() to look for parameters starting with " and
if one is found, it tries to merge all the next parameters till one
is found with ending double quote. Hence effectively simulating
following behavior.
$1= --add-drivers
$2= "driver1 driver2"
[v1->v2]: address quoted substring in dracut_args, also handle the leading
and ending spaces in substring.
[v2->v3]: fix dracut arguments seperator in kdump.conf.
[v3->v4]: improve changelog, thanks vivek.
[v4->v5]: make the manpage more verbose [vivek].
Tested with below dracut_args test cases:
1. dracut_args --add-drivers "pcspkr virtio_net" --omit-drivers "sdhci-pci hid-logitech-dj e1000"
2. dracut_args --add-drivers " pcspkr virtio_net " --omit-drivers "sdhci-pci hid-logitech-dj e1000"

Current blacklist option is different from the option in rhel6. In current
implementation blacklist just means omit the driver, but it should really
be preventing it being loaded in initramfs.
To keep consistent, just make the option as deprecated. User is suggested
to user dracut kernel cmdline rd.driver.blacklist instead.
[v1->v2]: improve man page description, thanks Vivek.

In old code, kdumpctl program exit directly when check_ssh_target failed
without printing "Starting kdump: FAILED". Then when manually invoke
"kdumpctl restart", only print "Stopping kdump: OK", but no "Starting
kdump: FAILED". That is unreasonable.
In this patch change check_ssh_target() to return when it failed. Then
check the returned value in start() function and print status if the
returned value is not 0.
Meanwhile change "space" to "tab" in function check_ssh_target(), make
those be consistent with the whole script file.

MEM_RESERVED is for checking if crash memory is reserved or not.
Originally it use /proc/iomem for x86, parsing /proc/cmdline for ppc.
This cause problems for crashkernel=auto, because it does not fit for
the regular expression of [0-9]\+[MmKkGg]@[0-9]\+[MmGgKk]
Fix this by use /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for all arches.
After the fix the code is more clear than before.

We can use not only space but also tab as whitespace,
so s/\ /[[:blank:]] for checking the whitespace
The last commit is intend for checking multiple dump target,
and differentiate ssh and sshkey options. This issue is only
for ssh, so no need to add [[:blank:]] for other dump types to
create a very long code line.
[v1->v2]: use [[:blank:]] instead of [[:space:]]
see expanation in below doc:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression#POSIX_character_classes
[:blank:] [ \t] Space and tab
[:space:] [ \t\r\n\v\f] Whitespace characters
