Fedora 18 changes the way how to work with services in spec files.
It introduces new macros - %systemd_post, %systemd_preun and

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

Per discussion with Vivek and Selinux people, relabel kdump files

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
