fc1c79ffd2 Seperate dracut and dracut-squash compressor for zstd
Previously kexec-tools will pass "--compress zstd" to dracut. It
will make dracut to decide whether: a) call mksquashfs to make a
zstd format squash-root.img, b) call cmd zstd to make a initramfs.

Since dracut(>= 057) has decoupled the compressor for dracut and
dracut-squash, So in this patch, we will pass the compressor seperately.

Note:

The is_squash_available && !dracut_has_option --squash-compressor
&& !is_zsdt_command_available case is left unprocessed on purpose.

Actually, the situation when we want to call zstd compression is:
1) If squash function OK, we want dracut to invoke mksquashfs to make
a zstd format squash-root.img within initramfs.
2) If squash function is not OK, and cmd zstd presents, we want dracut
to invoke cmd zstd to make a zstd format initramfs.

is_zstd_command_available check can handle case 2 completely.

However, for the is_squash_available check, it cannot handle case 1
completely. It only checks if the kernel supports squashfs, it doesn't
check whether the squash module has been added by dracut when making
initramfs. In fact, in kexec-tools we are unable to do the check,
there are multiple ways to forbit dracut to load a module, such as
"dracut -o module" and "omit_dracutmodules in dracut.conf".

When squash dracut module is omitted, is_squash_available check will
still pass, so "--compress zstd" will be appended to dracut cmdline,
and it will call cmd zstd to do the compression. However cmd zstd may
not exist, so it fails.

The previous "--compress zstd" is ambiguous, after the intro of
"--squash-compressor", "--squash-compressor" only effect for
mksquashfs and "--compress" only effect for specific cmd.

So for the is_squash_available && !dracut_has_option
--squash-compressor && !is_zsdt_command_available case, we just leave
it to be handled the default way.

c743881ae6 virtiofs support for kexec-tools
This patch add virtiofs support for kexec-tools by introducing a new option
for /etc/kdump.conf:

virtiofs myfs

Where myfs is a variable tag name specified in qemu cmdline
"-device vhost-user-fs-pci,tag=myfs".

The patch covers the following cases:
1) Dumping VM's vmcore to a virtiofs shared directory;
2) When the VM's rootfs is a virtiofs shared directory and dumping the
   VM's vmcore to its subdirectory, such as /var/crash;
3) The combination of case 1 & 2: The VM's rootfs is a virtiofs shared
   directory and dumping the VM's vmcore to another virtiofs shared
   directory.

Case 2 & 3 need dracut >= 057, otherwise VM cannot boot from virtiofs
shared rootfs. But it is not the issue of kexec-tools.

4d52b7d548 mkdumprd: Improve error messages on non-existing NFS target directories
When kdump is configured with a NFS location, and the remote directory does
not exist, kdump.service fails with a confusing error message.

    kdumpctl[2172]: kdump: Dump path "/tmp/mkdumprd.ftWhOF/target/dumps"
    does not exist in dump target "10.111.113.2:/srv/kdump"

We just need to print the remote directory "dumps" in such case, because
"/tmp/mkdumprd.ftWhOF/target" is the local temporary mount point.

Sync only the $TARGET_INITRD to avoid a system-wide sync taking too

0311f6e25b Set zstd as the default compression method for kdump initrd
zstd has better compression ratio and time consumption balance.
When no customized compression method specified in kdump.conf,
we will use zstd as the default compression method.

**The test method:

I installed kexec-tools with and without the patch, executing the following
command for 4 times, and calculate the averange time:

$ rm -f /boot/initramfs-*kdump.img && time kdumpctl rebuild && \
  ls -ail /boot/initramfs-*kdump.img

Use kdump_get_conf_val() to get dracut_args values of kdump.conf

v2 -> v3:
Attached testing benchmark

v3 -> v4:
Re-measured and re-attached the testing benchmark of x86_64 and ppc64le.
Changed regex '.*[[:space:]]' to '(^|[[:space:]])'

v4 -> v5:
Attacked lzo/xz/lz4 testing benchmark.

v5 -> v6:
Add zstd as required in kexec-tools.spec

86538ca6e2 bash scripts: fix variable quoting issue
Fixed quoting issues found by shellcheck, no feature
change. This should fix many errors when there is space
in any shell variables, eg. dump target's name/path/id.

False positives are marked with "# shellcheck disable=SCXXXX", for
example, args are expected to split so it should not be quoted.

And replaced some `cut -d ' ' -fX` with `awk '{print $X}'` since cut
is fragile, and doesn't work well with any quoted strings that have
redundant space.

Following quoting related issues are fixed (check the link
for example code and what could go wrong):

70978c00e5 bash scripts: replace '[ ]' with '[[ ]]' for bash scripts
kdumpctl, mkdumprd, *-module-setup.sh only target bash, since they
only run in first kernel and depend on dracut, and dracut depends
on bash. So use '[[ ]]' to replace '[ ]'.

This is a batch update done with following command:
`sed -i -e 's/\(\s\)\[\s\([^]]*\)\s\]/\1\[\[\ \2 \]\]/g' kdumpctl, mkdumprd, *-module-setup.sh`
and replaced [ ... -a ... ] with [[ ... ]] && [[ ... ]] manually.

See https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/testconstructs.html for more details
on '[[ ]]', it's more versatile, safer, and slightly faster than '[ ]'.

This will also help shfmt to clean up the code in later commits.

    "/etc/kdump.conf" path everywhere in the code.
  - check if config file exists, just in case.

Also unify the environmental variable, now KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE stands for

fa9201b240 fadump: isolate fadump initramfs image within the default one
In case of fadump, the initramfs image has to be built to boot into
the production environment as well as to offload the active crash dump
to the specified dump target (for boot after crash). As the same image
would be used for both boot scenarios, it could not be built optimally
while accommodating both cases.

Use --include to include the initramfs image built for offloading
active crash dump to the specified dump target. Also, introduce a new
out-of-tree dracut module (99zz-fadumpinit) that installs a customized
init program while moving the default /init to /init.dracut. This
customized init program is leveraged to isolate fadump image within
the default initramfs image by kicking off default boot process
(exec /init.dracut) for regular boot scenario and activating fadump
initramfs image, if the system is booting after a crash.

If squash is available, ensure default initramfs image is also built
with squash module to reduce memory consumption in capture kernel.

61d4fa72b5 mkdumprd: Improve the error message for umounted dump target
Since commit ca01cbd, mkdumprd can generate the initramfs even if dump
target is not mounted. But it will refuse to work if the dump target is
not marked as noauto, and not mounted.

If a target is not marked as noauto in fstab, it should be mounted
automatically on boot. If it's not mounted, most likely something is
wrong and user should fix that. So mkdumprd will just show an error
message and quit to avoid further failure.

This commit make the error message more clear and less confusing.

ca01cbdfd5 mkdumprd: generate usable kdump initramfs even target is not mounted
Currently kexec-tools always depend on dump target to be mounted, which
caused some inconvenience for setup.

So for user configured target, allow kdump to start and build initramfs
even if target is not mounted.

When a mounted user configured target is used, the behavior is not
changed.

When a unmounted user configured target is used, mkdumprd will look for
corresponding mount info in fstab, and a entry with noauto option is
founded, mkdumprd will try to mount it inplace with optoins specified
in fstab and do basic checks on the device, then umount it.

If there is no fstab entry, mkdumprd will try to mount it in temporary
path with defaults option, do same basic check and umount it.

If there is a fstab entry but "noauto" option is not used, then there
must be some reason that the target device is not mounted, mkdumprd will
error out.

When path based target is used, there is no behavior change.

539bff4083 Append both nofail and x-systemd.before to kdump mount target
By this point, there is still an unresolved vfs kernel issue that blocks
systemd from mounting the dump target properly from time to time. To
prevent systemd from failing by mounting the dump target, we can add
nofail option to the kdump mount point.

But adding nofail will wipe out default dependency of the mount point,
see commit 94a7b43, so systemd randomize the order of calling kdump.sh
and mounting the dump target and lead to unexpected behavior.
However we can use x-systemd.before to ensure the mount is done
in right order.

In dracut-kdump-capture.service, we have "After=initrd.target",
and look at dracut.bootup.7, systems start processing of fstab by
initrd-fs.target, so set "After=initrd.target" could ensure the mount
is ready before pre-pivot and kdump-capture service.

Now with both nofail and x-systemd.before=initrd.target, systemd
will try to mount the dump target before calling kdump, and even if the
mount failed, kdump.sh will still be called and try to mount again. See
dump_fs function, which will try to mount if the target is not mounted.
Kdump will only fail if both mount attemp fails.

Else if the kdump target mount failed or unstable, systemd will directly
jump to kdump failure action, and kdump fails.

This should improve the robustness in general with no other risk.

b82c35c842 Partially Revert "Don't mount the dump target unless needed"
This partially reverts commit 6dee286467.

There are reports that NFSv3 is failing after this commit, and after
more debug, I found NFSv4 may not work properly if
"nfs4_disable_idmapping" is set to 0.

The cause of the failure is that kdump.sh runs after dracut's pre-pivot
and clean up hook, many dracut module will install hooks to kill some
running services, so if the dump target requires a service to be running
but it's killed, mount will fail.

Dracut ensures the configured mount points are ready before pre-pivot.
After pre-pivot, any further mounting operation may not work as expected.

Although there is no report of other type of dump target failure except
NFSv3, it's better to revert this, to avoid other potential risk, and wait
for a proper fix for that systemd/kernel issue.

Else, this may bring more trouble for further development.

But still keep the change in kdump-lib-initramfs.sh for better
robustness.

bde4b7af3b No longer treat atomic/silverblue specially
This commit remove almost all special workaround for atomic, and treat
all bind mounts in any environment equally.

Use a helper get_bind_mount_directory_from_path to get the bind mount
source path of given path.

is_atomic function now only used to determine the right /boot path
for atomic/silverblue environment.

And remove get_mntpoint_from_path(), it's the only function that never
ignore bind mount, and it have no caller after this clean up.

b5b0b90521 mkdumprd: Simplify handling of user specified target
For user specified target, the config value is used as the dump target,
and SAVE_PATH (path in kdump.conf) value is used as the dump path within
the dump target, no need to do anything extra with the path value.

Current code logic is not only complicated, it also wrongly generate
an redundantly long path in atomic/silverblue environment.

The right way is only check two things, and do nothing else:

 1. The path exists within the target;
 2. The target is large enough to hold to contain the vmcore.

Currently checking the target still requires it to be mounted so it will
error out if it's not mounted. Will implement some auto mount as next
step.

760beb7e57 mkdumprd: Use DUMP_TARGET which printing error message during ssh
When building kdump initramfs for a SSH dump target, mkdumprd would
check whether it has the write permission on the SSH Server's
$DUMP_TARGET.

However $DUMP_TARGET is missing in the actual error message when the
user doesn't not have the write permission. For example:

 # kdumpctl restart
   kexec: unloaded kdump kernel
   Stopping kdump: [OK]
   Could not create temporary directory on :/home/bhsharma/test. Make
   sure user has write permission on destination
   mkdumprd: failed to make kdump initrd
   Starting kdump: [FAILED]

This patch using $1 value passed to mkdumprd, to print the
$DUMP_TARGET inside mkdir_save_path_ssh() function to
fix the issue.
