e067d77dfc mkdumprd: apply dracut "--hostonly-cmdline" and "--no-hostonly-default-device"
Dracut has "--hostonly-cmdline" which can generate cmdlines(if any)
regarding the dump target, it's an existing way for us to use to
simplify the code. E.g. We already removed generate_lvm_cmdlines(),
to use "--hostonly-cmdline".

But "--hostonly-cmdline" has other issues(e.g. BZ1451717), it adds
needless devices for kdump like root device.

Now dracut supports "--no-hostonly-default-device" which enables
us to only add the kdump target, which can avoid needless devices
being recognized under kdump. Thus "--hostonly-cmdline" side effects
can be avoided with the help of "--no-hostonly-default-device".

This patch applies dracut's "--hostonly-cmdline" together with
"--no-hostonly-default-device" to achieve above-mentioned purpose.

31dc60ad20 Change dump_to_rootfs to use "--mount" instead of "root=X"
Currently, we kept "root=X" for the dump_to_rootfs case, this
patch consolidates to use "--mount" for all the kdump mounts.

One advantage of this way is that dracut can correctly mark root
(in case of dump_to_rootfs is specified) as the host device when
"--no-hostonly-default-device" is added in the following patch.

Changed the code style in passing, as shellcheck tool reported:
Use $(..) instead of deprecated `..`

65d37d19c7 Improve 'cpu add' udev rules
Currently kdump service is restarted even when any new file is added in cpu
subsystem. So, it can be restarted multiple times in the cases like loading
of acpi_cpufreq module or online/offline of any cpu.

However, we should see kdump service restart only once in case a new CPU
is added or removed. cpu crash notes buffer is created when a new CPU is
added. It's location does not change when a CPU is onlined/offlined or
acpi_cpufreq driver is loaded. Therefore, no need to restart kdump
service in such cases.

Thus, we need to introduce an extra filter for the kernel name of the
directory created by cpu_add which is KERNEL=="cpu[0-9]*". This will ensure
that kdump service is not restarted when any new file is added in /removed
from cpu subsystem.

There's no need to know the very early error messages, we can
remove the error output which is actually normal for the pure
hardware iscsi.

As for unexpected errors, we kept the error outputs in the
succeeding kdump_iscsi_get_rec_val() calls by not appending
"2>/dev/null".

2777a93a9c mkdumprd: use 300s as the default systemd unit timeout for kdump mount
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.

    fstab-generator: remove bogus condition

    The sysroot mount is already taken care of by the
    add_sysroot_mount function. With this condition
    left in, we can we can get something like this:

    initrd-root-fs.target.requires
    `-- usr.mount -> /run/systemd/generator/usr.mount

    in the main system (i.e., not in the initramfs). In
    the initramfs, the previous condition already kicks in.

[snip]

"mount_in_initrd(me)" is true with "x-initrd.mount" option,
the behaviour of systemd fstab generator changed after the
above-mentioned patch, it always generates local mount units
required by local-fs.target regardless of "x-initrd.mount".

After failure, it enters dracut emergency, further triggers
kdump emergency service, thus there is no problem.

9df0cbbeed kdumpctl: use "apicid" other than "initial apicid"
We met a problem on AMD machines, when using "nr_cpus=4" for
kdump, and crash happens on cpus other than cpu0, kdump kernel
will fail to boot and eventually reset.

After some debugging, we found that it stuck at the kernel path
do_boot_cpu()-> ... ->wakeup_secondary_cpu_via_init():
 apic_icr_write(APIC_INT_LEVELTRIG|APIC_INT_ASSERT|APIC_DM_INIT,
            phys_apicid);
that is, it stuck at sending INIT from AP to BP and reset, which
is actually what "disable_cpu_apicid=X" tries to solve. Printing
the value of @phys_apicid showed that it was the value of "apicid"
other that of "initial apicid" showed by /proc/cpuinfo.

As described in x86 specification:
"In MP systems, the local APIC ID is also used as a processor ID by the
BIOS and the operating system. Some processors permit software to modify
the APIC ID. However, the ability of software to modify the APIC ID is
processor model specific. Because of this, operating system software
should avoid writing to the local APIC ID register. The value returned by
bits 31-24 of the EBX register (when the CPUID instruction is executed with a
source operand value of 1 in the EAX register) is always the Initial APIC ID
(determined by the platform initialization). This is true even if software
has changed the value in the Local APIC ID register."

From kernel commit 151e0c7de("x86, apic, kexec: Add disable_cpu_apicid
kernel parameter"), we can see in generic_processor_info(), it uses
a)read_apic_id() and b)@apicid to compare with @disabled_cpu_apicid.

a)@apicid which is actually @phys_apicid above-mentioned is from the
  following calltrace(on the problematic AMD machine):
    generic_processor_info+0x37/0x300
    acpi_register_lapic+0x30/0x90
    acpi_parse_lapic+0x40/0x50
    acpi_table_parse_entries_array+0x171/0x1de
    acpi_boot_init+0xed/0x50f
  The value of @apicid(from acpi MADT) is equal to the value of "apicid"
  showed by /proc/cpuinfo as proved by our debug printk.
b)read_apic_id() gets the value from LAPIC ID register which is "apicid"
  as well.

While the value of "initial apicid" is from cpuid instruction.

One example of "apicid" and "initial apicid" of cpu0 from /proc/cpuinfo
on AMD machine:
  apicid          : 32
  initial apicid  : 0

Therefore, we should assign /proc/cpuifo "apicid" to "disable_cpu_apicid=X".

We've never met such issue before, because we usually tested "nr_cpus=1",
and mostly on Intel machines, and "apicid" and "initial apicid" have the
same value in most cases on Intel machines.

a431a7e354 module-setup: fix 99kdumpbase network dependency
I noticed that network is still enabled for local dumping,
like the following kdump boot message on my test machine
using local disk as the dump target:
  tg3.c:v3.137 (May 11, 2014)
  tg3 0000:02:00.0 eth2: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95720) rev
  (PCI Express) MAC address c8:1f:66:c9:35:0d
  tg3 0000:02:00.0 eth2: attached PHY is 5720C

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
network (driver) initialization thereby saving us more memory.

This patch introduces omit_dracut_modules() before calling

When there is any "rd.lvm.lv=X", "lvm" dracut module will

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1451717#c2

Remove all the rd.lvm.lv=X inherited from the kernel cmdline,
and generate the corresponding cmdline as needed for kdump.
Because prepare_cmdline() is only used by kdump, we don't need
to add any fadump judgement(also remove the existing judgement
in passing).

Currently, we don't handle "rd.lvm.vg=X", we can add it in
when there is some bug reported in the future.

0933f89f65 kdumpctl: fix infinite loop caused by running under bash
Description of problem
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1465735):
Run `kdumpctl status` as normal user, get below error messages:

Another app is currently holding the kdump lock; waiting for it to exit...
flock: 9: Bad file descriptor
Another app is currently holding the kdump lock; waiting for it to exit...
flock: 9: Bad file descriptor
...

The bug is caused by behavior difference between bash
and sh (bash in posix).

In the function single_instance_lock in kdumpctl script,
there is

exec 9>/var/lock/kdump

which will fail in user mode. However, this fail will cause
script exiting under bash but not exiting under sh, causing
infinite loop because the flock will always fail.

According to the 16th item in
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/bash-2.02/html_node/bashref_66.html

If a POSIX.2 special builtin returns an error status, a non-
interactive shell exits.

And according to
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Special-Builtins.html

exec is one of the POSIX.2 special builtin's.

This patch fixes the bug by checking exec return value.

f6303a2a93 dracut-module-setup: Fix test for inclusion of DRM modules
The /sys/modules/*/drivers sysfs entries do not exist anymore on newer
kernels which means that the DRM moduels would never be included.
Instead check if there is any device with a "drm" sysfs directory to
decide on whether DRM modules need to be included.

1ca4c9f009 kdumpctl: for fence_kdump, the ipaddr of this node should be excluded from list
kdump should not send fence_kdump notifications to local host, because
the role of the falied node (i.e local host) is to send fence_kdump
notifications to other nodes to tell them I'm kdumping, tell to itself is
nonsense. And we have excluded hostname of local host but when one use ip
address we also need exclude it.

9fb2996d05 kdumpctl: change the shebang header to use /bin/bash
We met one issue that when changing softlink of "/usr/bin/sh"
to point to "ksh" instead of the default "bash", kdumpctl will
not work and go wrong.

kdumpctl is expected to run under bash like dracut, we should
change its shebang header from "#!/bin/sh" to "#!/bin/bash".

2b4b7a6374 kdumpctl: call strip_comments only when necessary to speedup
The "time kdumpctl start" command shows that strip_comments()
consumes lots of cpu time. By only calling it when necessary,
it saves us nearly half second.

Tested on my Fedora kvm machine.
Before this patch:
$ time kdumpctl start
kexec: loaded kdump kernel
Starting kdump: [OK]

real	0m1.849s
user	0m1.497s
sys	0m0.462s

After this patch:
$ time kdumpctl start
kexec: loaded kdump kernel
Starting kdump: [OK]

real	0m1.344s
user	0m1.195s
sys	0m0.195s

7f725ef13a Revert "kdumpctl: improve "while read" time for /etc/kdump.conf"
Resolves: bz1449801

"cat $KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE|grep -v "^#"|while read ..." use pipes
to invoke subshells, as a result we met "the dreaded inaccessible
variables within a subshell problem" as described in the book
"Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide".

It cause regressions, so revert it.

I found using "cat $KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE|grep -v "^#"|while read ..."
instead of "while read ... do ...; done < $KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE" will
make the script run faster, it saves us nearly half second.

We use faster "lsinitrd XXX -f usr/lib/dracut/build-parameter.txt"
instead of "lsinitrd XXX | grep "^Arguments:" | head -1", this can
save us around one second.

2a5f362521 kdumpctl: improve check_wdt_modified()
Use the logic of dracut 04watchdog/module-setup.sh to check,
then we only need to compare the content of 00-watchdog.conf,
so we can save one operation of lsinitrd.
