+Early Kdump HOWTO
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Kdump service starts too late, so early crashes will have no chance to get
+kdump kernel booting, this will cause crash information to be lost. It is
+necessary to add a dracut module in order to load crash kernel and initramfs
+as early as possible. You can provide "rd.earlykdump" in grub commandline
+to enable, then the early kdump will load those files like the normal kdump,
+which is disabled by default.
+
+For the normal kdump service, it can check whether the early kdump has loaded
+the crash kernel and initramfs. It has no conflict with the early kdump.
+
+How to configure early kdump
+----------------------------
+
+We assume if you're reading this document, you should already have kexec-tools
+installed.
+
+You can rebuild the initramfs with earlykdump support with below steps:
+1. start kdump service to make sure kdump initramfs is created.
+    # systemctl start kdump
+
+    NOTE: If a crash occurs during boot process, early kdump captures a vmcore
+    and reboot the system by default, so the system might go into crash loop.
+    You can avoid such a crash loop by adding the following settings, which
+    power off the system after dump capturing, to kdump.conf in advance:
+
+        final_action poweroff
+        failure_action poweroff
+
+    For the failure_action, you can choose anything other than "reboot".
+
+2. rebuild system initramfs with earlykdump support.
+    # dracut --add earlykdump
+
+3. add rd.earlykdump in grub kernel command line.
+
+Note:
+[1]. Early kdump initramfs size will be large because it includes vmlinuz and
+kdump initramfs. And for step 2 if you are sure to overwrite system initramfs
+you can backup the original initramfs and use "--force" option.
+
+[2]. Early kdump inherits the settings of normal kdump, so any changes that
+caused normal kdump rebuilding also require rebuilding the system initramfs
+to make sure that the changes take effect for early kdump. Therefore, after
+the rebuilding of kdump initramfs is completed, provide a prompt message to
+tell the fact.
+
+After making said changes, reboot your system to take effect. Of course, if you
+want to disable early kdump, you can simply remove "rd.earlykdump" from kernel
+boot parameters in grub, and reboot system like above.
+
+Once the boot is completed, you can check the status of the early kdump support
+on the command prompt:
+
+    # journalctl -x|grep early-kdump
+
+Then, you will see some useful logs, for exapmle:
+
+1. if early kdump is successful.
+Mar 09 09:57:56 localhost.localdomain dracut-cmdline[190]: early-kdump is enabled.
+Mar 09 09:57:56 localhost.localdomain dracut-cmdline[190]: kexec: loaded early-
+kdump kernel
+
+2. if early kdump is disabled.
+Mar 09 10:02:47 localhost.localdomain dracut-cmdline[189]: early-kdump is disabled.
+
+Limitation
+----------
+
+At present, early kdump doesn't support fadump.

+Kdump-in-cluster-environment HOWTO
+
+Introduction
+
+Kdump is a kexec based crash dumping mechansim for Linux. This docuement 
+illustrate how to configure kdump in cluster environment to allow the kdump 
+crash recovery service complete without being preempted by traditional power
+fencing methods. 
+
+Overview
+
+Kexec/Kdump
+
+Details about Kexec/Kdump are available in Kexec-Kdump-howto file and will not
+be described here.
+
+fence_kdump
+
+fence_kdump is an I/O fencing agent to be used with the kdump crash recovery 
+service. When the fence_kdump agent is invoked, it will listen for a message 
+from the failed node that acknowledges that the failed node is executing the 
+kdump crash kernel. Note that fence_kdump is not a replacement for traditional
+fencing methods. The fence_kdump agent can only detect that a node has entered
+the kdump crash recovery service. This allows the kdump crash recovery service
+complete without being preempted by traditional power fencing methods. 
+
+fence_kdump_send
+
+fence_kdump_send is a utility used to send messages that acknowledge that the 
+node itself has entered the kdump crash recovery service. The fence_kdump_send
+utility is typically run in the kdump kernel after a cluster node has 
+encountered a kernel panic. Once the cluster node has entered the kdump crash 
+recovery service, fence_kdump_send will periodically send messages to all 
+cluster nodes. When the fence_kdump agent receives a valid message from the 
+failed nodes, fencing is complete.
+
+How to configure Pacemaker cluster environment:
+
+If we want to use kdump in Pacemaker cluster environment, fence-agents-kdump
+should be installed in every nodes in the cluster. You can achieve this via
+the following command:
+
+  # yum install -y fence-agents-kdump
+
+Next is to add kdump_fence to the cluster. Assuming that the cluster consists 
+of three nodes, they are node1, node2 and node3, and use Pacemaker to perform
+resource management and pcs as cli configuration tool. 
+
+With pcs it is easy to add a stonith resource to the cluster. For example, add
+a stonith resource named mykdumpfence with fence type of fence_kdump via the 
+following commands:
+  
+   # pcs stonith create mykdumpfence fence_kdump \
+     pcmk_host_check=static-list pcmk_host_list="node1 node2 node3"
+   # pcs stonith update mykdumpfence pcmk_monitor_action=metadata --force
+   # pcs stonith update mykdumpfence pcmk_status_action=metadata --force
+   # pcs stonith update mykdumpfence pcmk_reboot_action=off --force
+   
+Then enable stonith
+   # pcs property set stonith-enabled=true
+
+How to configure kdump:
+
+Actually there are two ways how to configure fence_kdump support:
+
+1) Pacemaker based clusters
+     If you have successfully configured fence_kdump in Pacemaker, there is
+     no need to add some special configuration in kdump. So please refer to
+     Kexec-Kdump-howto file for more information.
+
+2) Generic clusters
+     For other types of clusters there are two configuration options in
+     kdump.conf which enables fence_kdump support:
+
+       fence_kdump_nodes <node(s)>
+            Contains list of cluster node(s) separated by space to send
+            fence_kdump notification to (this option is mandatory to enable
+            fence_kdump)
+
+       fence_kdump_args <arg(s)>
+            Command line arguments for fence_kdump_send (it can contain
+            all valid arguments except hosts to send notification to)
+
+     These options will most probably be configured by your cluster software,
+     so please refer to your cluster documentation how to enable fence_kdump
+     support.
+
+Please be aware that these two ways cannot be combined and 2) has precedence
+over 1). It means that if fence_kdump is configured using fence_kdump_nodes
+and fence_kdump_args options in kdump.conf, Pacemaker configuration is not
+used even if it exists.

+# This file contains a series of commands to perform (in order) in the kdump

+#
+# Directives in this file are only applicable to the kdump initramfs, and have
+# no effect once the root filesystem is mounted and the normal init scripts are
+# processed.
+#
+# Currently, only one dump target and path can be specified.  If the dumping to
+# the configured target fails, the failure action which can be configured via
+# the "failure_action" directive will be performed.
+#
+# Supported options:
+#
+# raw <partition>
+#           - Will dd /proc/vmcore into <partition>.
+#             Use persistent device names for partition devices,
+#             such as /dev/vg/<devname>.
+#
+# nfs <nfs mount>
+#           - Will mount nfs to <mnt>, and copy /proc/vmcore to
+#             <mnt>/<path>/%HOST-%DATE/, supports DNS.
+#
+# ssh <user@server>
+#           - Will scp /proc/vmcore to <user@server>:<path>/%HOST-%DATE/,
+#             supports DNS.
+#             NOTE: make sure the user has write permissions on the server.
+#
+# sshkey <path>
+#           - Will use the sshkey to do ssh dump.
+#             Specify the path of the ssh key to use when dumping
+#             via ssh. The default value is /root/.ssh/kdump_id_rsa.
+#
+# <fs type> <partition>
+#           - Will mount -t <fs type> <partition> <mnt>, and copy
+#             /proc/vmcore to <mnt>/<path>/%DATE/.
+#             NOTE: <partition> can be a device node, label or uuid.
+#             It's recommended to use persistent device names
+#             such as /dev/vg/<devname>.
+#             Otherwise it's suggested to use label or uuid.
+#
+# path <path>
+#           - "path" represents the file system path in which vmcore
+#             will be saved.  If a dump target is specified in
+#             kdump.conf, then "path" is relative to the specified
+#             dump target.
+#
+#             Interpretation of "path" changes a bit if the user didn't
+#             specify any dump target explicitly in kdump.conf.  In this
+#             case, "path" represents the absolute path from root. The
+#             dump target and adjusted path are arrived at automatically
+#             depending on what's mounted in the current system.
+#
+#             Ignored for raw device dumps.  If unset, will use the default
+#             "/var/crash".
+#
+# core_collector <command> <options>
+#           - This allows you to specify the command to copy
+#             the vmcore.  The default is makedumpfile, which on
+#             some architectures can drastically reduce vmcore size.
+#             See /sbin/makedumpfile --help for a list of options.
+#             Note that the -i and -g options are not needed here,
+#             as the initrd will automatically be populated with a
+#             config file appropriate for the running kernel.
+#             The default core_collector for raw/ssh dump is:
+#             "makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31".
+#             The default core_collector for other targets is:
+#             "makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31".
+#
+#             "makedumpfile -F" will create a flattened vmcore.
+#             You need to use "makedumpfile -R" to rearrange the dump data to
+#             a normal dumpfile readable with analysis tools.  For example:
+#             "makedumpfile -R vmcore < vmcore.flat".
+#
+#             For core_collector format details, you can refer to
+#             kexec-kdump-howto.txt or kdump.conf manpage.
+#
+# kdump_post <binary | script>
+#           - This directive allows you to run a executable binary
+#             or script after the vmcore dump process terminates.
+#             The exit status of the current dump process is fed to
+#             the executable binary or script as its first argument.
+#
+# kdump_pre <binary | script>
+#           - Works like the "kdump_post" directive, but instead of running
+#             after the dump process, runs immediately before it.
+#             Exit status of this binary is interpreted as follows:
+#             0 - continue with dump process as usual
+#             non 0 - reboot the system
+#
+# extra_bins <binaries | shell scripts>
+#           - This directive allows you to specify additional binaries or
+#             shell scripts to be included in the kdump initrd.
+#             Generally they are useful in conjunction with a kdump_post
+#             or kdump_pre binary or script which depends on these extra_bins.
+#
+# extra_modules <module(s)>
+#           - This directive allows you to specify extra kernel modules
+#             that you want to be loaded in the kdump initrd.
+#             Multiple modules can be listed, separated by spaces, and any
+#             dependent modules will automatically be included.
+#
+# failure_action <reboot | halt | poweroff | shell | dump_to_rootfs>
+#           - Action to perform in case dumping fails.
+#             reboot:   Reboot the system.
+#             halt:     Halt the system.
+#             poweroff: Power down the system.
+#             shell:    Drop to a bash shell.
+#                       Exiting the shell reboots the system by default,
+#                       or perform "final_action".
+#             dump_to_rootfs:  Dump vmcore to rootfs from initramfs context and
+#                       reboot by default or perform "final_action".
+#                       Useful when non-root dump target is specified.
+#             The default option is "reboot".
+#
+# default <reboot | halt | poweroff | shell | dump_to_rootfs>
+#           - Same as the "failure_action" directive above, but this directive
+#             is obsolete and will be removed in the future.
+#
+# final_action <reboot | halt | poweroff>
+#           - Action to perform in case dumping succeeds. Also performed
+#             when "shell" or "dump_to_rootfs" failure action finishes.
+#             Each action is same as the "failure_action" directive above.
+#             The default is "reboot".
+#
+# force_rebuild <0 | 1>
+#           - By default, kdump initrd will only be rebuilt when necessary.
+#             Specify 1 to force rebuilding kdump initrd every time when kdump
+#             service starts.
+#
+# force_no_rebuild <0 | 1>
+#           - By default, kdump initrd will be rebuilt when necessary.
+#             Specify 1 to bypass rebuilding of kdump initrd.
+#
+#             force_no_rebuild and force_rebuild options are mutually
+#             exclusive and they should not be set to 1 simultaneously.
+#
+# override_resettable <0 | 1>
+#           - Usually an unresettable block device can't be a dump target.
+#             Specifying 1 when you want to dump even though the block
+#             target is unresettable
+#             By default, it is 0, which will not try dumping destined to fail.
+#
+# dracut_args <arg(s)>
+#           - Pass extra dracut options when rebuilding kdump initrd.
+#
+# fence_kdump_args <arg(s)>
+#           - Command line arguments for fence_kdump_send (it can contain
+#             all valid arguments except hosts to send notification to).
+#
+# fence_kdump_nodes <node(s)>
+#           - List of cluster node(s) except localhost, separated by spaces,

+.TH KDUMP.CONF 5 "07/23/2008" "kexec-tools"
+
+.SH NAME
+kdump.conf \- configuration file for kdump kernel.
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION 
+
+kdump.conf is a configuration file for the kdump kernel crash
+collection service.
+
+kdump.conf provides post-kexec instructions to the kdump kernel. It is
+stored in the initrd file managed by the kdump service. If you change
+this file and do not want to reboot in order for the changes to take
+effect, restart the kdump service to rebuild the initrd.
+
+For most configurations, you can simply review the examples provided
+in the stock /etc/kdump.conf.
+
+.B NOTE: 
+For filesystem dumps the dump target must be mounted before building
+kdump initramfs.
+
+kdump.conf only affects the behavior of the initramfs.  Please read the
+kdump operational flow section of kexec-kdump-howto.txt in the docs to better
+understand how this configuration file affects the behavior of kdump.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.B raw <partition>
+.RS
+Will dd /proc/vmcore into <partition>.  Use persistent device names for
+partition devices, such as /dev/vg/<devname>.
+.RE
+

+.RS

+supports DNS. Note that a fqdn should be used as the server name in the 
+mount point.
+.RE
+
+.B ssh <user@server>

+server and that a fqdn is used as the server name.
+.RE
+
+.B sshkey <path>
+.RS
+Specify the path of the ssh key to use when dumping via ssh.
+The default value is /root/.ssh/kdump_id_rsa.
+.RE
+
+.B <fs type> <partition>
+.RS
+Will mount -t <fs type> <partition> <mnt>, and copy /proc/vmcore to
+<mnt>/<path>/%DATE/.  NOTE: <partition> can be a device node, label
+or uuid.  It's recommended to use persistent device names such as
+/dev/vg/<devname>.  Otherwise it's suggested to use label or uuid.
+.RE
+
+.B path <path>
+.RS
+"path" represents the file system path in which vmcore will be saved.
+If a dump target is specified in kdump.conf, then "path" is relative to the
+specified dump target.
+.PP
+Interpretation of "path" changes a bit if the user didn't specify any dump
+target explicitly in kdump.conf. In this case, "path" represents the
+absolute path from root.  The dump target and adjusted path are arrived
+at automatically depending on what's mounted in the current system.
+.PP
+Ignored for raw device dumps.  If unset, will use the default "/var/crash".
+.RE
+
+.B core_collector <command> <options>
+.RS
+This allows you to specify the command to copy the vmcore.
+The default is makedumpfile, which on some architectures can drastically reduce
+core file size. See /sbin/makedumpfile --help for a list of options.
+Note that the -i and -g options are not needed here, as the initrd
+will automatically be populated with a config file appropriate
+for the running kernel.
+.PP
+Note 1: About default core collector:
+The default core_collector for raw/ssh dump is:
+"makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31".
+The default core_collector for other targets is:
+"makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31".
+Even if core_collector option is commented out in kdump.conf, makedumpfile
+is the default core collector and kdump uses it internally.
+If one does not want makedumpfile as default core_collector, then they
+need to specify one using core_collector option to change the behavior.
+.PP
+Note 2: If "makedumpfile -F" is used then you will get a flattened format
+vmcore.flat, you will need to use "makedumpfile -R" to rearrange the
+dump data from standard input to a normal dumpfile (readable with analysis
+tools).
+ie. "makedumpfile -R vmcore < vmcore.flat"
+
+.RE
+
+.B kdump_post <binary | script>
+.RS
+This directive allows you to run a specified executable
+just after the vmcore dump process terminates.  The exit
+status of the current dump process is fed to the kdump_post
+executable as its first argument($1).  Executable can modify
+it to indicate the new exit status of succeeding dump process,
+.PP
+Note that scripts written for use with this directive must use
+the /bin/bash interpreter.
+.RE
+
+.B kdump_pre <binary | script>
+.RS
+Works just like the "kdump_post" directive, but instead
+of running after the dump process, runs immediately
+before.  Exit status of this binary is interpreted
+as follows:
+.PP
+0 - continue with dump process as usual
+.PP
+non 0 - reboot the system
+.PP
+Note that scripts written for this directive must use
+the /bin/bash interpreter.
+.RE
+
+.B extra_bins <binaries | shell scripts>
+.RS
+This directive allows you to specify additional
+binaries or shell scripts you'd like to include in
+your kdump initrd. Generally only useful in
+conjunction with a kdump_post binary or script that
+relies on other binaries or scripts.
+.RE
+
+.B extra_modules <module(s)>
+.RS
+This directive allows you to specify extra kernel
+modules that you want to be loaded in the kdump
+initrd, typically used to set up access to
+non-boot-path dump targets that might otherwise
+not be accessible in the kdump environment. Multiple
+modules can be listed, separated by spaces, and any
+dependent modules will automatically be included.
+.RE
+
+.B failure_action <reboot | halt | poweroff | shell | dump_to_rootfs>
+.RS
+Action to perform in case dumping to the intended target fails. The default is "reboot".
+reboot: Reboot the system (this is what most people will want, as it returns the system
+to a normal state).  halt: Halt the system and lose the vmcore.  poweroff: The system
+will be powered down.  shell: Drop to a shell session inside the initramfs, from which
+you can manually perform additional recovery actions.  Exiting this shell reboots the
+system by default or performs "final_action".
+Note: kdump uses bash as the default shell.  dump_to_rootfs: If non-root dump
+target is specified, the failure action can be set as dump_to_rootfs.  That means when
+dumping to target fails, dump vmcore to rootfs from initramfs context and reboot
+by default or perform "final_action".
+.RE
+
+.B default <reboot | halt | poweroff | shell | dump_to_rootfs>
+.RS
+Same as the "failure_action" directive above, but this directive is obsolete
+and will be removed in the future.
+.RE
+
+.B final_action <reboot | halt | poweroff>
+.RS
+Action to perform in case dumping to the intended target succeeds.
+Also performed when "shell" or "dump_to_rootfs" failure action finishes.
+Each action is same as the "failure_action" directive above.
+The default is "reboot".
+.RE
+
+.B force_rebuild <0 | 1>
+.RS
+By default, kdump initrd will only be rebuilt when necessary.
+Specify 1 to force rebuilding kdump initrd every time when kdump service starts.
+.RE
+
+.B force_no_rebuild <0 | 1>
+.RS
+By default, kdump initrd will be rebuilt when necessary.
+Specify 1 to bypass rebuilding of kdump initrd.
+
+.PP
+force_no_rebuild and force_rebuild options are mutually exclusive and
+they should not be set to 1 simultaneously.
+.RE
+
+.B override_resettable <0 | 1>
+.RS
+Usually an unresettable block device can't be a dump target. Specifying 1 means
+that even though the block target is unresettable, the user wants to try dumping anyway.
+By default, it's set to 0, which will not try something destined to fail.
+.RE
+
+
+.B dracut_args <arg(s)>
+.RS
+Kdump uses dracut to generate initramfs for second kernel. This option
+allows a user to pass arguments to dracut directly.
+.RE
+
+
+.B fence_kdump_args <arg(s)>
+.RS
+Command line arguments for fence_kdump_send (it can contain all valid
+arguments except hosts to send notification to).
+.RE
+
+
+.B fence_kdump_nodes <node(s)>
+.RS
+List of cluster node(s) except localhost, separated by spaces, to send fence_kdump notification
+to (this option is mandatory to enable fence_kdump).
+.RE
+
+
+.SH DEPRECATED OPTIONS
+
+.B net <nfs mount>|<user@server>
+.RS
+net option is replaced by nfs and ssh options. Use nfs or ssh options
+directly.
+.RE
+
+.B options <module> <option list>
+.RS
+Use KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND in /etc/sysconfig/kdump to add module options as
+kernel command line parameters. For example, specify 'loop.max_loop=1' to limit
+maximum loop devices to 1.
+.RE
+
+.B link_delay <seconds>
+.RS
+link_delay was used to wait for a network device to initialize before using it.
+Now dracut network module takes care of this issue automatically.
+.RE
+
+.B disk_timeout <seconds>
+.RS
+Similar to link_delay, dracut ensures disks are ready before kdump uses them.
+.RE
+
+.B debug_mem_level <0-3>
+.RS
+Turn on verbose debug output of kdump scripts regarding free/used memory at
+various points of execution.  This feature has been
+moved to dracut now.
+Use KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND in /etc/sysconfig/kdump and
+append dracut cmdline param rd.memdebug=[0-3] to enable the debug output.
+
+Higher level means more debugging output.
+.PP
+0 - no output
+.PP
+1 - partial /proc/meminfo
+.PP
+2 - /proc/meminfo
+.PP
+3 - /proc/meminfo + /proc/slabinfo
+.RE
+
+.B blacklist <list of kernel modules>
+.RS
+blacklist option was recently being used to prevent loading modules in
+initramfs. General terminology for blacklist has been that module is
+present in initramfs but it is not actually loaded in kernel. Hence
+retaining blacklist option creates more confusing behavior. It has been
+deprecated.
+.PP
+Instead, use rd.driver.blacklist option on second kernel to blacklist
+a certain module. One can edit /etc/sysconfig/kdump.conf and edit
+KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND to pass kernel command line options. Refer
+to dracut.cmdline man page for more details on module blacklist option.
+.RE

+.RE
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Here are some examples for core_collector option:
+.PP
+Core collector command format depends on dump target type. Typically for
+filesystem (local/remote), core_collector should accept two arguments.
+First one is source file and second one is target file. For ex.
+.TP
+ex1.
+core_collector "cp --sparse=always"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to:
+
+cp --sparse=always /proc/vmcore <dest-path>/vmcore
+.TP
+ex2.
+core_collector "makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to:
+
+makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31 /proc/vmcore <dest-path>/vmcore
+.PP
+For dump targets like raw and ssh, in general, core collector should expect
+one argument (source file) and should output the processed core on standard
+output (There is one exception of "scp", discussed later). This standard
+output will be saved to destination using appropriate commands.
+
+raw dumps examples:
+.TP
+ex3.
+core_collector "cat"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+cat /proc/vmcore | dd of=<target-device>
+.TP
+ex4.
+core_collector "makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31 | dd of=<target-device>
+.PP
+ssh dumps examples
+.TP
+ex5.
+core_collector "cat"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+cat /proc/vmcore | ssh <options> <remote-location> "dd of=path/vmcore"
+.TP
+ex6.
+core_collector "makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31 | ssh <options> <remote-location> "dd of=path/vmcore"
+
+There is one exception to standard output rule for ssh dumps. And that is
+scp. As scp can handle ssh destinations for file transfers, one can
+specify "scp" as core collector for ssh targets (no output on stdout).
+.TP
+ex7.
+core_collector "scp"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+scp /proc/vmcore <user@host>:path/vmcore
+
+.PP

+Kexec/Kdump HOWTO
+
+Introduction
+
+Kexec and kdump are new features in the 2.6 mainstream kernel. These features
+are included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The purpose of these features
+is to ensure faster boot up and creation of reliable kernel vmcores for
+diagnostic purposes.
+
+Overview
+
+Kexec
+
+Kexec is a fastboot mechanism which allows booting a Linux kernel from the
+context of already running kernel without going through BIOS. BIOS can be very
+time consuming especially on the big servers with lots of peripherals. This can
+save a lot of time for developers who end up booting a machine numerous times.
+
+Kdump
+
+Kdump is a new kernel crash dumping mechanism and is very reliable because
+the crash dump is captured from the context of a freshly booted kernel and
+not from the context of the crashed kernel. Kdump uses kexec to boot into
+a second kernel whenever system crashes. This second kernel, often called
+a capture kernel, boots with very little memory and captures the dump image.
+
+The first kernel reserves a section of memory that the second kernel uses
+to boot. Kexec enables booting the capture kernel without going through BIOS
+hence contents of first kernel's memory are preserved, which is essentially
+the kernel crash dump.
+
+Kdump is supported on the i686, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64 platforms. The
+standard kernel and capture kernel are one in the same on i686, x86_64,
+ia64 and ppc64.
+
+If you're reading this document, you should already have kexec-tools
+installed. If not, you install it via the following command:
+
+    # yum install kexec-tools
+
+Now load a kernel with kexec:
+
+    # kver=`uname -r` # kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-$kver
+    --initrd=/boot/initrd-$kver.img \
+        --command-line="`cat /proc/cmdline`"
+
+NOTE: The above will boot you back into the kernel you're currently running,
+if you want to load a different kernel, substitute it in place of `uname -r`.
+
+Now reboot your system, taking note that it should bypass the BIOS:
+
+    # reboot
+
+
+How to configure kdump:
+
+Again, we assume if you're reading this document, you should already have
+kexec-tools installed. If not, you install it via the following command:
+
+    # yum install kexec-tools
+
+To be able to do much of anything interesting in the way of debug analysis,
+you'll also need to install the kernel-debuginfo package, of the same arch
+as your running kernel, and the crash utility:
+
+    # yum --enablerepo=\*debuginfo install kernel-debuginfo.$(uname -m) crash
+
+Next up, we need to modify some boot parameters to reserve a chunk of memory for
+the capture kernel. With the help of grubby, it's very easy to append
+"crashkernel=128M" to the end of your kernel boot parameters. Note that the X
+values are such that X = the amount of memory to reserve for the capture kernel.
+And based on arch and system configuration, one might require more than 128M to
+be reserved for kdump. One need to experiment and test kdump, if 128M is not
+sufficient, try reserving more memory.
+
+   # grubby --args="crashkernel=128M" --update-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
+
+Note that there is an alternative form in which to specify a crashkernel
+memory reservation, in the event that more control is needed over the size and
+placement of the reserved memory.  The format is:
+
+crashkernel=range1:size1[,range2:size2,...][@offset]
+
+Where range<n> specifies a range of values that are matched against the amount
+of physical RAM present in the system, and the corresponding size<n> value
+specifies the amount of kexec memory to reserve.  For example:
+
+crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
+
+This line tells kexec to reserve 64M of ram if the system contains between
+512M and 2G of physical memory.  If the system contains 2G or more of physical
+memory, 128M should be reserved.
+
+Besides, since kdump needs to access /proc/kallsyms during a kernel
+loading if KASLR is enabled, check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict to
+make sure that the content of /proc/kallsyms is exposed correctly.
+We recommend to set the value of kptr_restrict to '1'. Otherwise
+capture kernel loading could fail.
+
+After making said changes, reboot your system, so that the X MB of memory is
+left untouched by the normal system, reserved for the capture kernel. Take note
+that the output of 'free -m' will show X MB less memory than without this
+parameter, which is expected. You may be able to get by with less than 128M, but
+testing with only 64M has proven unreliable of late. On ia64, as much as 512M
+may be required.
+
+Now that you've got that reserved memory region set up, you want to turn on
+the kdump init script:
+
+    # chkconfig kdump on
+
+Then, start up kdump as well:
+
+    # systemctl start kdump.service
+
+This should load your kernel-kdump image via kexec, leaving the system ready
+to capture a vmcore upon crashing. To test this out, you can force-crash
+your system by echo'ing a c into /proc/sysrq-trigger:
+
+    # echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
+
+You should see some panic output, followed by the system restarting into
+the kdump kernel. When the boot process gets to the point where it starts
+the kdump service, your vmcore should be copied out to disk (by default,
+in /var/crash/<YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM>/vmcore), then the system rebooted back into
+your normal kernel.
+
+Once back to your normal kernel, you can use the previously installed crash
+kernel in conjunction with the previously installed kernel-debuginfo to
+perform postmortem analysis:
+
+    # crash /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2621.el5/vmlinux
+    /var/crash/2006-08-23-15:34/vmcore
+
+    crash> bt
+
+and so on...
+
+Notes:
+
+When kdump starts, the kdump kernel is loaded together with the kdump
+initramfs. To save memory usage and disk space, the kdump initramfs is
+generated strictly against the system it will run on, and contains the
+minimum set of kernel modules and utilities to boot the machine to a stage
+where the dump target could be mounted.
+
+With kdump service enabled, kdumpctl will try to detect possible system
+change and rebuild the kdump initramfs if needed. But it can not guarantee
+to cover every possible case. So after a hardware change, disk migration,
+storage setup update or any similar system level changes, it's highly
+recommended to rebuild the initramfs manually with following command:
+
+    # kdumpctl rebuild
+
+Saving vmcore-dmesg.txt
+----------------------
+Kernel log bufferes are one of the most important information available
+in vmcore. Now before saving vmcore, kernel log bufferes are extracted
+from /proc/vmcore and saved into a file vmcore-dmesg.txt. After
+vmcore-dmesg.txt, vmcore is saved. Destination disk and directory for
+vmcore-dmesg.txt is same as vmcore. Note that kernel log buffers will
+not be available if dump target is raw device.
+
+Dump Triggering methods:
+
+This section talks about the various ways, other than a Kernel Panic, in which
+Kdump can be triggered. The following methods assume that Kdump is configured
+on your system, with the scripts enabled as described in the section above.
+
+1) AltSysRq C
+
+Kdump can be triggered with the combination of the 'Alt','SysRq' and 'C'
+keyboard keys. Please refer to the following link for more details:
+
+https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2023
+
+In addition, on PowerPC boxes, Kdump can also be triggered via Hardware
+Management Console(HMC) using 'Ctrl', 'O' and 'C' keyboard keys.
+
+2) NMI_WATCHDOG
+
+In case a machine has a hard hang, it is quite possible that it does not
+respond to keyboard interrupts. As a result 'Alt-SysRq' keys will not help
+trigger a dump. In such scenarios Nmi Watchdog feature can prove to be useful.
+The following link has more details on configuring Nmi watchdog option.
+
+https://access.redhat.com/solutions/125103
+
+Once this feature has been enabled in the kernel, any lockups will result in an
+OOPs message to be generated, followed by Kdump being triggered.
+
+3) Kernel OOPs
+
+If we want to generate a dump everytime the Kernel OOPses, we can achieve this
+by setting the 'Panic On OOPs' option as follows:
+
+    # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_oops
+
+This is enabled by default on RHEL5.
+
+4) NMI(Non maskable interrupt) button
+
+In cases where the system is in a hung state, and is not accepting keyboard
+interrupts, using NMI button for triggering Kdump can be very useful. NMI
+button is present on most of the newer x86 and x86_64 machines. Please refer
+to the User guides/manuals to locate the button, though in most occasions it
+is not very well documented. In most cases it is hidden behind a small hole
+on the front or back panel of the machine. You could use a toothpick or some
+other non-conducting probe to press the button.
+
+For example, on the IBM X series 366 machine, the NMI button is located behind
+a small hole on the bottom center of the rear panel.
+
+To enable this method of dump triggering using NMI button, you will need to set
+the 'unknown_nmi_panic' option as follows:
+
+   # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unknown_nmi_panic
+
+5) PowerPC specific methods:
+
+On IBM PowerPC machines, issuing a soft reset invokes the XMON debugger(if
+XMON is configured). To configure XMON one needs to compile the kernel with
+the CONFIG_XMON and CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT options, or by compiling with
+CONFIG_XMON and booting the kernel with xmon=on option.
+
+Following are the ways to remotely issue a soft reset on PowerPC boxes, which
+would drop you to XMON. Pressing a 'X' (capital alphabet X) followed by an
+'Enter' here will trigger the dump.
+
+5.1) HMC
+
+Hardware Management Console(HMC) available on Power4 and Power5 machines allow
+partitions to be reset remotely. This is specially useful in hang situations
+where the system is not accepting any keyboard inputs.
+
+Once you have HMC configured, the following steps will enable you to trigger
+Kdump via a soft reset:
+
+On Power4
+  Using GUI
+
+    * In the right pane, right click on the partition you wish to dump.
+    * Select "Operating System->Reset".
+    * Select "Soft Reset".
+    * Select "Yes".
+
+  Using HMC Commandline
+
+    # reset_partition -m <machine> -p <partition> -t soft
+
+On Power5
+  Using GUI
+
+    * In the right pane, right click on the partition you wish to dump.
+    * Select "Restart Partition".
+    * Select "Dump".
+    * Select "OK".
+
+  Using HMC Commandline
+
+    # chsysstate -m <managed system name> -n <lpar name> -o dumprestart -r lpar
+
+5.2) Blade Management Console for Blade Center
+
+To initiate a dump operation, go to Power/Restart option under "Blade Tasks" in
+the Blade Management Console. Select the corresponding blade for which you want
+to initate the dump and then click "Restart blade with NMI". This issues a
+system reset and invokes xmon debugger.
+
+
+Advanced Setups:
+
+In addition to being able to capture a vmcore to your system's local file
+system, kdump can be configured to capture a vmcore to a number of other
+locations, including a raw disk partition, a dedicated file system, an NFS
+mounted file system, or a remote system via ssh/scp. Additional options
+exist for specifying the relative path under which the dump is captured,
+what to do if the capture fails, and for compressing and filtering the dump
+(so as to produce smaller, more manageable, vmcore files).
+
+In theory, dumping to a location other than the local file system should be
+safer than kdump's default setup, as its possible the default setup will try
+dumping to a file system that has become corrupted. The raw disk partition and
+dedicated file system options allow you to still dump to the local system,
+but without having to remount your possibly corrupted file system(s),
+thereby decreasing the chance a vmcore won't be captured. Dumping to an
+NFS server or remote system via ssh/scp also has this advantage, as well
+as allowing for the centralization of vmcore files, should you have several
+systems from which you'd like to obtain vmcore files. Of course, note that
+these configurations could present problems if your network is unreliable.
+
+Advanced setups are configured via modifications to /etc/kdump.conf,
+which out of the box, is fairly well documented itself. Any alterations to
+/etc/kdump.conf should be followed by a restart of the kdump service, so
+the changes can be incorporated in the kdump initrd. Restarting the kdump
+service is as simple as '/sbin/systemctl restart kdump.service'.
+
+
+Note that kdump.conf is used as a configuration mechanism for capturing dump
+files from the initramfs (in the interests of safety), the root file system is
+mounted, and the init process is started, only as a last resort if the
+initramfs fails to capture the vmcore.  As such, configuration made in
+/etc/kdump.conf is only applicable to capture recorded in the initramfs.  If
+for any reason the init process is started on the root file system, only a
+simple copying of the vmcore from /proc/vmcore to /var/crash/$DATE/vmcore will
+be preformed.
+
+For both local filesystem and nfs dump the dump target must be mounted before
+building kdump initramfs. That means one needs to put an entry for the dump
+file system in /etc/fstab so that after reboot when kdump service starts,
+it can find the dump target and build initramfs instead of failing.
+Usually the dump target should be used only for kdump. If you worry about
+someone uses the filesystem for something else other than dumping vmcore
+you can mount it as read-only. Mkdumprd will still remount it as read-write
+for creating dump directory and will move it back to read-only afterwards.
+
+Raw partition
+
+Raw partition dumping requires that a disk partition in the system, at least
+as large as the amount of memory in the system, be left unformatted. Assuming
+/dev/vg/lv_kdump is left unformatted, kdump.conf can be configured with
+'raw /dev/vg/lv_kdump', and the vmcore file will be copied via dd directly
+onto partition /dev/vg/lv_kdump. Restart the kdump service via
+'/sbin/systemctl restart kdump.service' to commit this change to your kdump
+initrd. Dump target should be persistent device name, such as lvm or device
+mapper canonical name.
+
+Dedicated file system
+
+Similar to raw partition dumping, you can format a partition with the file
+system of your choice, Again, it should be at least as large as the amount
+of memory in the system. Assuming it should be at least as large as the
+amount of memory in the system. Assuming /dev/vg/lv_kdump has been
+formatted ext4, specify 'ext4 /dev/vg/lv_kdump' in kdump.conf, and a
+vmcore file will be copied onto the file system after it has been mounted.
+Dumping to a dedicated partition has the advantage that you can dump multiple
+vmcores to the file system, space permitting, without overwriting previous ones,
+as would be the case in a raw partition setup. Restart the kdump service via
+'/sbin/systemctl restart kdump.service' to commit this change to
+your kdump initrd.  Note that for local file systems ext4 and ext2 are
+supported as dumpable targets.  Kdump will not prevent you from specifying
+other filesystems, and they will most likely work, but their operation
+cannot be guaranteed.  for instance specifying a vfat filesystem or msdos
+filesystem will result in a successful load of the kdump service, but during
+crash recovery, the dump will fail if the system has more than 2GB of memory
+(since vfat and msdos filesystems do not support more than 2GB files).
+Be careful of your filesystem selection when using this target.
+
+It is recommended to use persistent device names or UUID/LABEL for file system
+dumps. One example of persistent device is /dev/vg/<devname>.
+
+NFS mount
+
+Dumping over NFS requires an NFS server configured to export a file system
+with full read/write access for the root user. All operations done within
+the kdump initial ramdisk are done as root, and to write out a vmcore file,
+we obviously must be able to write to the NFS mount. Configuring an NFS
+server is outside the scope of this document, but either the no_root_squash
+or anonuid options on the NFS server side are likely of interest to permit
+the kdump initrd operations write to the NFS mount as root.
+
+Assuming your're exporting /dump on the machine nfs-server.example.com,
+once the mount is properly configured, specify it in kdump.conf, via
+'nfs nfs-server.example.com:/dump'. The server portion can be specified either
+by host name or IP address. Following a system crash, the kdump initrd will
+mount the NFS mount and copy out the vmcore to your NFS server. Restart the
+kdump service via '/sbin/systemctl restart kdump.service' to commit this change
+to your kdump initrd.
+
+Special mount via "dracut_args"
+
+You can utilize "dracut_args" to pass "--mount" to kdump, see dracut manpage
+about the format of "--mount" for details. If there is any "--mount" specified
+via "dracut_args", kdump will build it as the mount target without doing any
+validation (mounting or checking like mount options, fs size, save path, etc),
+so you must test it to ensure all the correctness. You cannot use other targets
+in /etc/kdump.conf if you use "--mount" in "dracut_args". You also cannot specify
+mutliple "--mount" targets via "dracut_args".
+
+One use case of "--mount" in "dracut_args" is you do not want to mount dump target
+before kdump service startup, for example, to reduce the burden of the shared nfs
+server. Such as the example below:
+dracut_args --mount "192.168.1.1:/share /mnt/test nfs4 defaults"
+
+NOTE:
+- <mountpoint> must be specified as an absolute path.
+
+Remote system via ssh/scp
+
+Dumping over ssh/scp requires setting up passwordless ssh keys for every
+machine you wish to have dump via this method. First up, configure kdump.conf
+for ssh/scp dumping, adding a config line of 'ssh user@server', where 'user'
+can be any user on the target system you choose, and 'server' is the host
+name or IP address of the target system. Using a dedicated, restricted user
+account on the target system is recommended, as there will be keyless ssh
+access to this account.
+
+Once kdump.conf is appropriately configured, issue the command
+'kdumpctl propagate' to automatically set up the ssh host keys and transmit
+the necessary bits to the target server. You'll have to type in 'yes'
+to accept the host key for your targer server if this is the first time
+you've connected to it, and then input the target system user's password
+to send over the necessary ssh key file. Restart the kdump service via
+'/sbin/systemctl restart kdump.service' to commit this change to your kdump initrd.
+
+Path
+====
+"path" represents the file system path in which vmcore will be saved. In
+fact kdump creates a directory $hostip-$date with-in "path" and saves
+vmcore there. So practically dump is saved in $path/$hostip-$date/. To
+simplify discussion further, if we say dump will be saved in $path, it
+is implied that kdump will create another directory inside path and
+save vmcore there.
+
+If a dump target is specified in kdump.conf, then "path" is relative to the
+specified dump target. For example, if dump target is "ext4 /dev/sda", then
+dump will be saved in "$path" directory on /dev/sda.
+
+Same is the case for nfs dump. If user specified "nfs foo.com:/export/tmp/"
+as dump target, then dump will effectively be saved in
+"foo.com:/export/tmp/var/crash/" directory.
+
+Interpretation of path changes a bit if user has not specified a dump
+target explicitly in kdump.conf. In this case, "path" represents the
+absolute path from root. And dump target and adjusted path are arrived
+at automatically depending on what's mounted in the current system.
+
+Following are few examples.
+
+path /var/crash/
+----------------
+Assuming there is no disk mounted on /var/ or on /var/crash, dump will
+be saved on disk backing rootfs in directory /var/crash.
+
+path /var/crash/ (A separate disk mounted on /var)
+--------------------------------------------------
+Say a disk /dev/sdb is mouted on /var. In this case dump target will
+become /dev/sdb and path will become "/crash" and dump will be saved
+on "sdb:/crash/" directory.
+
+path /var/crash/ (NFS mounted on /var)
+-------------------------------------
+Say foo.com:/export/tmp is mounted on /var. In this case dump target is
+nfs server and path will be adjusted to "/crash" and dump will be saved to
+foo.com:/export/tmp/crash/ directory.
+
+Kdump boot directory
+====================
+Usually kdump kernel is the same as 1st kernel. So kdump will try to find
+kdump kernel under /boot according to /proc/cmdline. E.g we execute below
+command and get an output:
+	cat /proc/cmdline
+	BOOT_IMAGE=/xxx/vmlinuz-3.yyy.zzz  root=xxxx .....
+Then kdump kernel will be /boot/xxx/vmlinuz-3.yyy.zzz.
+However a variable KDUMP_BOOTDIR in /etc/sysconfig/kdump is provided to
+user if kdump kernel is put in a different directory.
+
+Kdump Post-Capture Executable
+
+It is possible to specify a custom script or binary you wish to run following
+an attempt to capture a vmcore. The executable is passed an exit code from
+the capture process, which can be used to trigger different actions from
+within your post-capture executable.
+
+Kdump Pre-Capture Executable
+
+It is possible to specify a custom script or binary you wish to run before
+capturing a vmcore. Exit status of this binary is interpreted:
+0 - continue with dump process as usual
+non 0 - reboot the system
+
+Extra Binaries
+
+If you have specific binaries or scripts you want to have made available
+within your kdump initrd, you can specify them by their full path, and they
+will be included in your kdump initrd, along with all dependent libraries.
+This may be particularly useful for those running post-capture scripts that
+rely on other binaries.
+
+Extra Modules
+
+By default, only the bare minimum of kernel modules will be included in your
+kdump initrd. Should you wish to capture your vmcore files to a non-boot-path
+storage device, such as an iscsi target disk or clustered file system, you may
+need to manually specify additional kernel modules to load into your kdump
+initrd.
+
+Failure action
+==============
+Failure action specifies what to do when dump to configured dump target
+fails. By default, failure action is "reboot" and that is system reboots
+if attempt to save dump to dump target fails.
+
+There are other failure actions available though.
+
+- dump_to_rootfs
+	This option tries to mount root and save dump on root filesystem
+	in a path specified by "path". This option will generally make
+	sense when dump target is not root filesystem. For example, if
+	dump is being saved over network using "ssh" then one can specify
+	failure action to "dump_to_rootfs" to try saving dump to root
+	filesystem if dump over network fails.
+
+- shell
+	Drop into a shell session inside initramfs.
+- halt
+	Halt system after failure
+- poweroff
+	Poweroff system after failure.
+
+Compression and filtering
+
+The 'core_collector' parameter in kdump.conf allows you to specify a custom
+dump capture method. The most common alternate method is makedumpfile, which
+is a dump filtering and compression utility provided with kexec-tools. On
+some architectures, it can drastically reduce the size of your vmcore files,
+which becomes very useful on systems with large amounts of memory.
+
+A typical setup is 'core_collector makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31',
+but check the output of '/sbin/makedumpfile --help' for a list of all available
+options (-i and -g don't need to be specified, they're automatically taken care
+of). Note that use of makedumpfile requires that the kernel-debuginfo package
+corresponding with your running kernel be installed.
+
+Core collector command format depends on dump target type. Typically for
+filesystem (local/remote), core_collector should accept two arguments.
+First one is source file and second one is target file. For ex.
+
+ex1.
+---
+core_collector "cp --sparse=always"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to:
+
+cp --sparse=always /proc/vmcore <dest-path>/vmcore
+
+ex2.
+---
+core_collector "makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to:
+
+makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31 /proc/vmcore <dest-path>/vmcore
+
+
+For dump targets like raw and ssh, in general, core collector should expect
+one argument (source file) and should output the processed core on standard
+output (There is one exception of "scp", discussed later). This standard
+output will be saved to destination using appropriate commands.
+
+raw dumps core_collector examples:
+---------
+ex3.
+---
+core_collector "cat"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+cat /proc/vmcore | dd of=<target-device>
+
+ex4.
+---
+core_collector "makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31 | dd of=<target-device>
+
+ssh dumps core_collector examples:
+---------
+ex5.
+---
+core_collector "cat"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+cat /proc/vmcore | ssh <options> <remote-location> "dd of=path/vmcore"
+
+ex6.
+---
+core_collector "makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31 | ssh <options> <remote-location> "dd of=path/vmcore"
+
+There is one exception to standard output rule for ssh dumps. And that is
+scp. As scp can handle ssh destinations for file transfers, one can
+specify "scp" as core collector for ssh targets (no output on stdout).
+
+ex7.
+----
+core_collector "scp"
+
+Above will effectively be translated to.
+
+scp /proc/vmcore <user@host>:path/vmcore
+
+About default core collector
+----------------------------
+Default core_collector for ssh/raw dump is:
+"makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31".
+Default core_collector for other targets is:
+"makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31".
+
+Even if core_collector option is commented out in kdump.conf, makedumpfile
+is default core collector and kdump uses it internally.
+
+If one does not want makedumpfile as default core_collector, then they
+need to specify one using core_collector option to change the behavior.
+
+Note: If "makedumpfile -F" is used then you will get a flattened format
+vmcore.flat, you will need to use "makedumpfile -R" to rearrange the
+dump data from stdard input to a normal dumpfile (readable with analysis
+tools).
+For example: "makedumpfile -R vmcore < vmcore.flat"
+
+Caveats:
+
+Console frame-buffers and X are not properly supported. If you typically run
+with something along the lines of "vga=791" in your kernel config line or
+have X running, console video will be garbled when a kernel is booted via
+kexec. Note that the kdump kernel should still be able to create a dump,
+and when the system reboots, video should be restored to normal.
+
+
+Notes on resetting video:
+
+Video is a notoriously difficult issue with kexec.  Video cards contain ROM code
+that controls their initial configuration and setup.  This code is nominally
+accessed and executed from the Bios, and otherwise not safely executable. Since
+the purpose of kexec is to reboot the system without re-executing the Bios, it
+is rather difficult if not impossible to reset video cards with kexec.  The
+result is, that if a system crashes while running in a graphical mode (i.e.
+running X), the screen may appear to become 'frozen' while the dump capture is
+taking place.  A serial console will of course reveal that the system is
+operating and capturing a vmcore image, but a casual observer will see the
+system as hung until the dump completes and a true reboot is executed.
+
+There are two possiblilties to work around this issue.  One is by adding
+--reset-vga to the kexec command line options in /etc/sysconfig/kdump.  This
+tells kdump to write some reasonable default values to the video card register
+file, in the hopes of returning it to a text mode such that boot messages are
+visible on the screen.  It does not work with all video cards however.
+Secondly, it may be worth trying to add vga15fb.ko to the extra_modules list in
+/etc/kdump.conf.  This will attempt to use the video card in framebuffer mode,
+which can blank the screen prior to the start of a dump capture.
+
+Notes on rootfs mount:
+Dracut is designed to mount rootfs by default. If rootfs mounting fails it
+will refuse to go on. So kdump leaves rootfs mounting to dracut currently.
+We make the assumtion that proper root= cmdline is being passed to dracut
+initramfs for the time being. If you need modify "KDUMP_COMMANDLINE=" in
+/etc/sysconfig/kdump, you will need to make sure that appropriate root=
+options are copied from /proc/cmdline. In general it is best to append
+command line options using "KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND=" instead of replacing
+the original command line completely.
+
+Notes on watchdog module handling:
+
+If a watchdog is active in first kernel then, we must have it's module
+loaded in crash kernel, so that either watchdog is deactivated or started
+being kicked in second kernel. Otherwise, we might face watchdog reboot
+when vmcore is being saved. When dracut watchdog module is enabled, it
+installs kernel watchdog module of active watchdog device in initrd.
+kexec-tools always add "-a watchdog" to the dracut_args if there exists at
+least one active watchdog and user has not added specifically "-o watchdog"
+in dracut_args of kdump.conf. If a watchdog module (such as hp_wdt) has
+not been written in watchdog-core framework then this option will not have
+any effect and module will not be added. Please note that only systemd
+watchdog daemon is supported as watchdog kick application.
+
+Notes for disk images:
+
+Kdump initramfs is a critical component for capturing the crash dump.
+But it's strictly generated for the machine it will run on, and have
+no generality. If you install a new machine with a previous disk image
+(eg. VMs created with disk image or snapshot), kdump could be broken
+easily due to hardware changes or disk ID changes. So it's strongly
+recommended to not include the kdump initramfs in the disk image in the
+first place, this helps to save space, and kdumpctl will build the
+initramfs automatically if it's missing. If you have already installed
+a machine with a disk image which have kdump initramfs embedded, you
+should rebuild the initramfs using "kdumpctl rebuild" command manually,
+or else kdump may not work as expeceted.
+
+Notes on encrypted dump target:
+
+Currently, kdump is not working well with encrypted dump target.
+First, user have to give the password manually in capture kernel,
+so a working interactive terminal is required in the capture kernel.
+And another major issue is that an OOM problem will occur with certain
+encryption setup. For example, the default setup for LUKS2 will use a
+memory hard key derivation function to mitigate brute force attach,
+it's impossible to reduce the memory usage for mounting the encrypted
+target. In such case, you have to either reserved enough memory for
+crash kernel according, or update your encryption setup.
+It's recommanded to use a non-encrypted target (eg. remote target)
+instead.
+
+Notes on device dump:
+
+Device dump allows drivers to append dump data to vmcore, so you can
+collect driver specified debug info. The drivers could append the
+data without any limit, and the data is stored in memory, this may
+bring a significant memory stress. So device dump is disabled by default
+by passing "novmcoredd" command line option to the kdump capture kernel.
+If you want to collect debug data with device dump, you need to modify
+"KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND=" value in /etc/sysconfig/kdump and remove the
+"novmcoredd" option. You also need to increase the "crashkernel=" value
+accordingly in case of OOM issue.
+Besides, kdump initramfs won't automatically include the device drivers
+which support device dump, only device drivers that are required for
+the dump target setup will be included. To ensure the device dump data
+will be included in the vmcore, you need to force include related
+device drivers by using "extra_modules" option in /etc/kdump.conf
+
+Parallel Dumping Operation
+==========================
+Kexec allows kdump using multiple cpus. So parallel feature can accelerate
+dumping substantially, especially in executing compression and filter.
+For example:
+
+	1."makedumpfile -c --num-threads [THREAD_NUM] /proc/vmcore dumpfile"
+	2."makedumpfile -c /proc/vmcore dumpfile",
+
+	1 has better performance than 2, if THREAD_NUM is larger than two
+	and the usable cpus number is larger than THREAD_NUM.
+
+Notes on how to use multiple cpus on a capture kernel on x86 system:
+
+Make sure that you are using a kernel that supports disable_cpu_apicid
+kernel option as a capture kernel, which is needed to avoid x86 specific
+hardware issue (*). The disable_cpu_apicid kernel option is automatically
+appended by kdumpctl script and is ignored if the kernel doesn't support it.
+
+You need to specify how many cpus to be used in a capture kernel by specifying
+the number of cpus in nr_cpus kernel option in /etc/sysconfig/kdump. nr_cpus
+is 1 at default.
+
+You should use necessary and sufficient number of cpus on a capture kernel.
+Warning: Don't use too many cpus on a capture kernel, or the capture kernel
+may lead to panic due to Out Of Memory.
+
+(*) Without disable_cpu_apicid kernel option, capture kernel may lead to
+hang, system reset or power-off at boot, depending on your system and runtime
+situation at the time of crash.
+
+Debugging Tips
+--------------
+- One can drop into a shell before/after saving vmcore with the help of
+  using kdump_pre/kdump_post hooks. Use following in one of the pre/post
+  scripts to drop into a shell.
+

+- Serial console logging for virtual machines
+
+  I generally use "virsh console <domain-name>" to get to serial console.
+  I noticed after dump saving system reboots and when grub menu shows up
+  some of the previously logged messages are no more there. That means
+  any important debugging info at the end will be lost.
+
+  One can log serial console as follows to make sure messages are not lost.
+
+  virsh ttyconsole <domain-name>
+  ln -s <name-of-tty> /dev/modem
+  minicom -C /tmp/console-logs
+
+  Now minicom should be logging serial console in file console-logs.

+    Tell gcc not to omit frame pointer
+
+    After commit 0209874, it's now possible to enable optimization above O0.
+    But eppic might call __builtin_return_address(1). With O1,
+    -fomit-frame-pointer is enabled gcc may omit frame pointer.
+    __builtin_return_address(1) relies on callee preserves RBP as the stack
+    base, which is untrue if optimization is usded. In this case it may return
+    wrong value or crash.
+
+    In case of any potential failure, use -fno-omit-frame-pointer globally.

+Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] exclude pages that are logically offline
+
+Linux marks pages that are logically offline via a page flag (map count).
+Such pages e.g. include pages infated as part of a balloon driver or
+pages that were not actually onlined when onlining the whole section.
+
+While the hypervisor usually allows to read such inflated memory, we
+basically read and dump data that is completely irrelevant. Also, this
+might result in quite some overhead in the hypervisor. In addition,
+we saw some problems under Hyper-V, whereby we can crash the kernel by
+dumping, when reading memory of a partially onlined memory segment
+(for memory added by the Hyper-V balloon driver).
+
+Therefore, don't read and dump pages that are marked as being logically
+offline.

+
+This makes it possible to pass in extra cflags, for example, hardening
+flags could be passed in with environment variable when building a
+hardened package.
+
+Also introduce a CFLAGS_BASE to hold common CFLAGS, which simplify the
+CFLAGS definition.

+
+On AMD machine with Secure Memory Encryption (SME) feature, if SME is
+enabled, page tables contain a specific attribute bit (C-bit) in their
+entries to indicate whether a page is encrypted or unencrypted.
+
+So get NUMBER(sme_mask) from vmcoreinfo, which stores the value of
+the C-bit position, and drop it to obtain the true physical address.

+From fb5a8792e6e4ee7de7ae3e06d193ea5beaaececc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Kairui Song <kasong@redhat.com>
+Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2019 19:34:33 +0800
+Subject: [PATCH] x86: Introduce a new option --reuse-video-type
+
+After commit 060eee58 "x86: use old screen_info if needed", kexec-tools
+will force use old screen_info and vga type if failed to determine
+current vga type. But it is not always a good idea.
+
+Currently kernel hanging is inspected on some hyper-v VMs after this
+commit, because hyperv_fb will mimic EFI (or VESA) VGA on first boot
+up, but after the real driver is loaded, it will switch to new mode
+and no longer compatible with EFI/VESA VGA. Keep setting
+orig_video_isVGA to EFI/VESA VGA flag will get wrong driver loaded and
+try to manipulate the framebuffer in a wrong way.
+
+We can't ensure this won't happen on other framebuffer drivers, But
+it's a helpful feature if the framebuffer drivers just work. So this
+patch introduce a --reuse-video-type options to let user decide if the
+old screen_info hould be used unconditional or not.

+Kdump now works on live images with some manual configurations. Here is the step
+by step guide.
+
+1. Enable crashkernel reservation
+
+Since there isn't any config file that can be used to configure kernel
+parameters for live images before booting them, we have to append 'crashkernel'
+argument in boot menu every time we boot a live image.
+
+2. Change dump target in /etc/kdump.conf
+
+When kdump kernel boots in a live environment, the default target /var/crash is
+in RAM so you need to change the dump target to an external disk or a network
+dump target.
+
+Besides, make sure that "default dump_to_rootfs" is not specified.
+
+3. Start kdump service
+
+    $ kdumpctl start
+
+4. Trigger a kdump test
+
+    $ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
+    $ echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

+.SH NAME
+mkdumprd \- creates initial ramdisk images for kdump crash recovery 
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBmkdumprd\fR [OPTION]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBmkdumprd\fR creates an initial ram file system for use in conjunction with
+the booting of a kernel within the kdump framework for crash recovery.
+\fBmkdumprds\fR purpose is to create an initial ram filesystem capable of copying
+the crashed systems vmcore image to a location specified in \fI/etc/kdump.conf 
+
+\fBmkdumprd\fR interrogates the running system to understand what modules need to
+be loaded in the initramfs (based on configuration retrieved from
+\fI/etc/kdump.conf)\fR
+
+\fBmkdumprd\fR add a new \fBdracut\fR module 99kdumpbase and use \fBdracut\fR
+utility to generate the initramfs.
+
+\fBmkdumprd\fR was not intended for casual use outside of the service
+initialization script for the kdump utility, and should not be run manually.  If
+you require a custom kdump initramfs image, it is suggested that you use the
+kdump service infrastructure to create one, and then manually unpack, modify and
+repack the image.
+
+
+.SH OPTIONS

+Subject: [PATCH] makedumpfile/arm64: Add support for ARMv8.2-LVA (52-bit
+ user-space VA support)
+
+With ARMv8.2-LVA architecture extension availability, arm64 hardware
+which supports this extension can support upto 52-bit virtual
+addresses. It is specially useful for having a 52-bit user-space virtual
+address space while the kernel can still retain 48-bit virtual
+addresses.
+
+Since at the moment we enable the support of this extension in the
+kernel via a CONFIG flag (CONFIG_ARM64_USER_VA_BITS_52), so there are
+no clear mechanisms in user-space to determine this CONFIG
+flag value and use it to determine the user-space VA address range
+values.
+
+'makedumpfile' can instead use 'MAX_USER_VA_BITS' value to
+determine the maximum virtual physical address supported by user-space.
+If 'MAX_USER_VA_BITS' value is greater than 'VA_BITS' than we are
+running a use-case where user-space is 52-bit and underlying kernel is
+still 48-bit. The increased 'PTRS_PER_PGD' value for such cases can then
+be calculated as is done by the underlying kernel (see kernel file
+'arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable-hwdef.h' for details):
+
+  #define PTRS_PER_PGD          (1 << (MAX_USER_VA_BITS - PGDIR_SHIFT))
+
+I have sent a kernel patch upstream to add 'MAX_USER_VA_BITS' to
+vmcoreinfo for arm64 (see [0]).
+
+This patch is in accordance with ARMv8 Architecture Reference Manual
+version D.a
+
+[0].

+Supported Kdump Targets
+
+This document try to list all supported kdump targets, and those supported
+or unknown/tech-preview targets, this can help users to decide whether a dump
+solution is available.
+
+Dump Target support status
+==========================
+This section tries to come up with some kind of guidelines in terms of
+what dump targets are supported/not supported. Whatever is listed here
+is not binding in any manner. It is just sharing of current understanding
+and if something is not right, this section needs to be edited.
+
+Following are 3 lists. First one contains supported targets. These are
+generic configurations which should work and some configuration most
+likely has worked in testing. Second list is known unsupported targets.
+These targets we know either don't work or we don't support. And third
+list is unknown/tech-preview. We either don't yet know the status of kdump
+on these targets or these are under tech-preview.
+
+Note, these lists are not set in stone and can be changed at any point of
+time. Also these lists might not be complete. We will add/remove items to
+it as we get more testing information. Also, there are many corner cases
+which can't possibly be listed. For example in general we might be
+supporting software iscsi but there might be some configurations of it
+which don't work.
+
+So if any target is listed in supported section, it does not mean it works
+in all possible configurations. It just means that in common configurations
+it should work but there can be issues with particular configurations which
+are not supported. As we come to know of particular issues, we will keep on
+updating lists accordingly.

+kexec-tools provides /sbin/kexec binary that facilitates a new
+kernel to boot using the kernel's kexec feature either on a
+normal or a panic reboot. This package contains the /sbin/kexec
+binary and ancillary utilities that together form the userspace
+component of the kernel's kexec feature.
