Upstream: fedora
Resolves: RHEL-3929
Conflict: Yes, for fedora there is no kdump.sysconfig.x86_64,
but gen-kdump-sysconfig.sh. So for backporting, the
modification is made on kdump.sysconfig.x86_64.

sysconfig: add pcie_ports compat to KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND on x86_64
There have been some of failing cases of kdump in 2nd kernel, where
ususally only one cpu is enabled by "nr_cpus=1", but with a large
number of devices, which may easily exceed the maximum IRQ resources of
one cpu can handle. As a result, the 2nd kernel will hang and kdump
fails. This issue is often observed on machines with many cpus and many
devices.
On those systems, pcieports consume quite proportion of IRQ resources,
many following message can be seen in dmesg log:
pcieport 0000:18:01.0: PME: Signaling with IRQ 109
According to kernel doc[1], when "pcie_ports=compat" applied, it will disable
native PCIe services (PME, AER, DPC, PCIe hotplug). Those functions are
power management events, error reporting, performance, hotplug related,
which are not the must-have functions for kdump. In addition, after
testing, no side effects such as cannot writing vmcore into sdx, nvme
etc been noticed.
This patch will disable native PCIe services for 2nd kernel, to saving the
scarce IRQ resources and increase the kdump success.
Attach Prarit's comments:
This makes sense to me. The only concern anyone should have is that a PCIE
error could have been responsible for taking down the kernel in the first
place, and booting into the second kernel could then also have a fatal
problem. I'm not sure we can ever fix that type of cascade of panics :)
so it makes sense to disable these features.
