e779fc632b monitor-dd-progress fix
stdout if line buffered, thus even it's redirect to stderr, it will not show
on console automaticly. Because monitor_dd_progress is only for rawdump
currently, so I think we can just use "echo" instead of "echo -n".

Another problem is sometimes CURRENT_SIZE does not get value when it's used
in $(($CURRENT_SIZE / 1048576)), fix this issue as well.

315848036b rawdump: only show dd progress bar when core_collector is not makedumpfile
When using makedumpfile as core_collector, makedumpfile will show its
own progress bar, it will mix with the monitor_dd_progress and cause confusion.
In this patch just call monitor_dd_progress when core_collector is not

bdb3042f07 kexec-tools.spec: replaces scriptlets with new systemd macros
Fedora 18 changes the way how to work with services in spec files.
It introduces new macros - %systemd_post, %systemd_preun and
%systemd_postun. These macros are functionally equivalent to the
manual scriptlets used in older versions of Fedora.

By using the new unified RPM macros the .spec file code is
simplified a lot.

67667bdd66 dracut-kdump.sh: umount fs right before kdump exit
Currently umount fs happens right after saving vmcore. Therefore vmcore
isn't directly accessible in kdump_post script or shell. This patch moves
the umount fs operation down to the very last part, right before kdump
exits.

The patch adds a global variable MOUNTS to keep track which filesystem
is used. And umount these filesystems at do_default_action() and
do_final_action().

Certain dracut module will mount fs under real root(/sysroot/ or

aa15e6b6dc kdumpctl: add selinux relabel when service startup
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.

b156ef0d68 depends on dracut selinux module
depends on 98selinux if 1st kernel selinux is enabled so we can load_policy
and correctly label the vmcore/vmcore-dmesg files.

Since dracut always mount rootfs, the 98selinux will chroot and load_policy,
so this will be ok for Fedora. In case rootfs mount failure we have to check
and relable vmcore files, will add the kdumpctl relabeling code in another
patch.

add 'dracut_args --printsize' to /etc/kdump.conf, it shows below added size:
selinux install size: 16k

Tested on F19:
With this patch applied, vmcore selinux attr is ok.

387a6de171 dracut-kdump.sh: umount rootfs after dump_to_rootfs
In dracut-kdump.sh, kdump did not umount rootfs after dump_to_rootfs, just
like dump_fs does. And in kdump, the FINAL_ACTION is "reboot -f", no umount
action is taken.

Even though "sync" has been executed, it's safer to take a "umount rootfs"
action. Anyway no harm to umount.

224b700c82 kdump.sysconfig: append "panic=10" to kdump cmdline
When doing kdump If the capture kernel crashes for some reason, the default
behavior appears to be hanging the system without rebooting.  We at least
need an option to reset if the capture kernel crashes.  Business critical
customers tend to want the system to reboot without manual intervention.

Kernel provides a parameter “panic=n” to solve such problem.  If this parameter
is given, the capture kernel will reboot after n seconds in case it panics.

Now add this parameter into “KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND”, and set the default
waiting time value as 10 seconds.

It's tested on KVM f19, and passed.

For reserving a chunk of memory for kdump kernel, args need be

bootloaders and related config files are used, it's a little
annoying. Using grubby, it can be very easy to append a single
arg to kernel cmdline, and can save words in howto document.

5f6dfdf8db kexec-tools.spec: removes kexec udev rules for s390
Currenty the kexec-tools package contains udev rules for kdump
that reload kdump in case of memory or CPU hotplug:

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules
SUBSYSTESUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart kdump.service"
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="offline", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart kdump.service"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart kdump.service"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="remove", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart kdump.service"

On other architectures the rules are necessary because the memory
and CPU layout stored in the kdump in-memory ELF header at kdump
load time. Therefore the kdump kernel has to be reloaded each
time when the CPU or memory configuration changes.

This has drawbacks:

1. During kdump reload the system can't be dumped.
2. On systems with many hotplug events (e.g. on s390 with cpuplugd)
this creates significant overhead

The reload is not necessary on s390 because there the ELF header is
created in the 2nd (kdump) kernel. Therefore, to improve things,
remove the rules for s390.

Log is from IBM, and patch has been tested by IBM and work well.

StandardError=syslog+console

Thus kdump_pre/kdump_post output will disapear. Because the output is useful

fe96b47828 add dracut_args option to kdump.conf
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"

4b850d2f3a Check if block device as dump target is resettable
Some Smart Array (hpsa/cciss) adapters don't support reset, we need
to disable kdump on those devices, like rhel6 did.

In this patch, the dump target  is checked according to below
criteria if it's a block device.
If it's cciss disk but is resettbale, can be used as dump target.
If it's cciss disk but is not resettable, can not be used as dump
target.
If it's cciss disk and not resettable, but user set OVERRIDE_RESETTABLE
to 1 in /etc/sysconfig/kdump, can be taken as dump target. Because
user know the situation and want to have a try.

In this patch, added codes include 4 parts:
1)Add an option "override_resettable <0 | 1>" into kdump.conf, and
add related section into kdump.conf man page. In mkdumprd, will check
whether user has set a value, get that value if yes. By default, the
value is 0.

2)port utility functions from dracut-functions.sh.

3)The check_resettable function checks if dump target is a resettable
block device. This includes the case where default action dump_to_rootfs
is set.

bbe46f9e22 mkdumprd: add function perror_exit
We use function to pass stdout to a variable, like get_persistent_dev
but it will echo some error message and exit in some cases, instead of
redirect all the echo to stderr, this patch adds a function perror_exit
to fix this and simplify/cleanup related code.

Also add another function perror() for cases where no need to exit.

dc8e283ff5 Deprecate blacklist option
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.

Tested in kvm guest with rd.driver.blacklist in kdump sysconfig

5cfe0605eb Remove eppic support on ppc and s390 arch
Because makedumpfile is not supported on ppc and s390, so it makes
no sense to create the eppic_makedumpfile sub-package if there is
no makedumpfile binary to run it with.

Remove eppic contents related to ppc and s390 in kexec-tools.spec. This
will not build and install eppic on ppc and s390.
