The current code has different paths to construct the kernel parameters
depending on whether it's a dump kernel or a normal kernel. This would
require adding special handling to get_common_component(), because for
normal kernels the parmline is already set, contrary to dump kernels,
where the command line is constructed later.
To make the code simpler and fix a bug where the default command line no
longer works, move the dump command line processing to an earlier stage.
Also rename the old function to make the function name match what it is
actually doing.

Currently, each generated loader binary is linked into one data.o object
file which is then linked against boot.o. The data.o file is also used
to generate the data.h header file using nm, which will contain all
symbols required by zipl.
The linking process is somewhat depended on the directory, as the symbol
names are derived from the file names of the input files, which is the
default behavior of the linker. The file name in this case being the
entire path.
Examples for the current situation (starting from root dir in each case):
$ cd zipl/boot && make eckd0_cdl.bin
$ cc -no-pie -static -nostdlib -Wl,--relocatable -Wl,--format,binary -o data.o eckd0_cdl.bin
$ nm data.o
0000000000000018 D _binary_eckd0_cdl_bin_end
0000000000000018 A _binary_eckd0_cdl_bin_size
0000000000000000 D _binary_eckd0_cdl_bin_start
$ make -C zipl/boot eckd0_cdl.bin
$ cc -no-pie -static -nostdlib -Wl,--relocatable -Wl,--format,binary -o data.o zipl/boot/eckd0_cdl.bin
$ nm data.o
000000000000018 D _binary_zipl_boot_eckd0_cdl_bin_end
000000000000018 A _binary_zipl_boot_eckd0_cdl_bin_size
000000000000000 D _binary_zipl_boot_eckd0_cdl_bin_start
The example above shows that the entire path would end up in the symbol
name if specified that way.
To make this more robust, future proof, and get more control of the
resulting symbol names, use '.incbin' and some macros for embedding the
loader binary files. This also reduces the linker step and the
generation of the data.h header file.

In addition, if we do not want a particular ELF section, we can list it

Make zipl tool prepare ECKD DASD for booting by different IPL
programs (with the same boot record installed).
Besides standard CCW-type IPL, user gets an ability to trigger
(with the same boot record installed!) List-Directed IPL. This
allows to use the feature of secure boot from ECKD DASD (which
is not available for CCW-type IPL).
When using the old boot interfaces, the usual CCW-type IPL is
triggered for DASD. Also for compatibility reasons zipl(8) tool
is modified to create and install one, or two "similar" program
tables per boot partition, depending on job and disk type. The
"similar" program tables differ only in block pointers format.
The old IPL programs (CCW-type IPL) use program table based on the
old format.
All program tables are packed to the same bootmap file. Their
order and logical offsets in the file are not significant (not
used by anyone).
The picture below shows which program table is used for IPL of
specified type from disk of specified type. Here "0" and "1" are
identifiers of program tables based on the old and new block
pointers format respectively. E.g. program table "0" is used for
CCW-type IPL from ECKD DASD. LD-IPL from DASD FBA is unsupported
(respectively, only one program table "0" is used), etc.

The dracut installation directory is referenced from `chreipl-fcp-mpath`,
`zdev`, and `zipl`; in each with its own individual definition and
variable name. This makes it unnecessarily hard to change it when
installing from the top level directory of s390-tools and passing
variable overwrites via the command line.
Fix this by defining a common `DRACUTDIR` variable in the shared
`common.mak` file, and referencing this in each tool as base directory.
With this a user can simply pass `DRACUTDIR=/foo/bar/baz` on the
commandline and change the installation for all three tools.
Further, also derive common `DRACUTCONFDIR` and `DRACUTMODDIR` variables
from `DRACUTDIR` in `common.mak`, so that `zdev` and `zipl` don't use
different variable names for the same directory anymore, and all these
are defined together in a common place.

This commit finalizes the implementation of the new stand-alone dump -
Next Gen Dump (NGDump).
NGDump stand-alone dump is a universal stand-alone dump which works for both
SCSI and NVMe disks. But currently can be used only with NVMe disks
and SCSI stand-alone dump remains the default for SCSI disks.
Currently, this stand-alone dump can be used only on IBM z15 or newer
machine generations because it requires larger amount of HSA memory offered
by firmware only on IBM z15 machines. Whereas SCSI stand-alone dump is able
to work with HSA memory of 32M, the new stand-alone dump requires 512M HSA
memory at the moment.
NGDump stand-alone dump installation is initiated by passing a path to
a NVMe disk partition to zipl via the command-line -d, similar to SCSI
stand-alone dump. zipl will then:
- build a dumper initramfs with either dracut (Fedora/RHEL/SLES) or
initramfs-tools (Ubuntu/Debian)
- format the given NVMe partition with ext4 file system
- create a bootmap file on the newly created file system using the built
initramfs and the currently active kernel image
- install a boot loader on the disk the given dump partition belongs to
The operations described above are destructive for the given NVMe dump
partition and the boot record(s) of its disk.
After the installation step, users can configure the dumpconf to IPL
the dumper automatically on panic or trigger a dump manually via HMC
interface.
When activated, the dumper will create a dump ELF file named "dump.elf"
on the given NVMe dump partition by using the makedumpfile tool. The kdump
compressed file format is not supported yet due to zgetdump not being able
to read such a file format. Therefore, the dumper is restricted to write
the dump only in ELF format but only kernel pages which are in use.
This will usually make the dump smaller than the original size of
/proc/vmcore and the whole dump process faster as well.
Example configuration for dumpconf:
ON_PANIC=dump # or dump_reipl
DUMP_TYPE=nvme
FID=0x00000001
NSID=0x00000001
BOOTPROG=0
BR_LBA=0
$ systemctl enable --now dumpconf
To install the dracut support on Fedora/RHEL/SUSE:
$ make -C zipl/dracut HAVE_DRACUT=1 install
To install the initramfs-tools support on Ubuntu/Debian:
$ make -C zipl/initramfs-tools HAVE_INITRAMFS=1 install

The purpose of the new zipl helper script is to build a dumper initramfs
for NGDump stand-alone dump. zipl executes the helper script when
preparing a NVMe dump partition for stand-alone dump.
The zipl helper script expects a single parameter - a path to the dump
partition to store a dump on. The helper script terminates with 0 on
success and a positive value otherwise.
The zipl helper script performs the following steps:
- It builds an initramfs image suitable for dumping. To perform this step,
the script employs the dracut tool on Fedora/RHEL/SLES and
the initramfs-tools on Ubuntu/Debian.
- It outputs the path to the newly built initramfs image and the currently
active kernel bzImage on the standard output.
- It prints the kernel command-line to be used by the dumper on
the standard output.
On success, zipl expects the helper script to return at least three lines
containing:
- initrd=<path to an initramfs image>
- kernel=<path to a kernel bzImage>
- cmdline=<kernel command-line parameters>

The NGDump initramfs-tools module is required to build an initramfs image
to be used with NGDump stand-alone dump. NGDump stand-alone dump does not
use a pre-built initramfs image in contrast to SCSI stand-alone dump.
Instead, an initramfs image is built with initramfs-tools if NGDump
stand-alone dump is installed on a NVMe partition.
The NGDump initramfs-tools module ensures that all necessary tools are
present within the built initramfs and a dump of /proc/vmcore is initiated
to the chosen NVMe partition when the installed dumper is IPLed.
The NGDump intramfs-tools module installs a configuration file and
a dump script into dumper initramfs. This dump script starts at boot
shortly after the initialization of the dump target device. It reads
the aforementioned configuration file that contains the name of a dump
partition to store a dump on. The dump script reads the configuration file,
mounts then the dump target device, creates a copy of /proc/vmcore with
the makedumpfile tool on it, and then shuts down the system.
Ubuntu and Debian are the main Linux distributions targeted by this
initramfs-tools module.

Until now, NVMe disks were handled by zipl as SCSI disks. To support
NVMe stand-alone dump, it became necessary to further differentiate between
both types of disks.
There are two cases that must be handled:
1. A non-device-mapper device is a NVMe disk if it is assigned to the blkext
device driver.
2. A device-mapper disk is a NVMe disk if the ioctl NVME_IOCTL_ID succeeds.
This case is necessary to properly recognize NVMe disks which are
DM devices and, therefore, not directly handled by the blkext device
driver.
