It appears there is a simple substitution error in the pidof shell function which causes it to fail to find processes. In my case, processes started by 95nfs are not terminated in the cleanup hook. This causes knock-on effects disturbing the root filesystem service dependencies.

Cached CMDLINE doesn't work 100%. For example the following case,
1. dracut starts to run dracut-cmdline.sh. CMDLINE is cached when calling
getarg 'rd.break=cmdline'.
2. In 92-parse-ibft.sh, ibft_to_cmdline() calls $(set_ifname ibft xx:xx..)
multiple times in each subshell.
3. In 1st call, set_ifname() will check $(getargs ifname) and write out
ifname=xxxx accordingly.
4. In 2nd call, set_ifname() will check $(getargs ifname) and it's wrong here.
Because in step 3, we introduce a new cmdline arg ifname=xxx, but CMDLINE
isn't updated. Thus we fail to get the new ifname arg.
It's doable to unset CMDLINE every time after a new cmdline arg is in. But
unset should be done in the parent process, because unset CMDLINE in a
subshell won't unset CMDLINE in its parent or sibling process. And also it's
painful to unset CMDLINE every time. In the future, functions and code
snippet could probably separate or move to other file, the unset CMDLINE could
malfunction again like this time.
So I'm thinking not to cache CMDLINE. It's doesn't hurt to re-read all the
cmdline args everytime. Because it's in initramfs, a non cached _getcmdline()
should be fast enough.
Please consider!

Currently when action_on_fail is enabled, the emergency_shell won't be called.
In kdump even though user specify the default action as emergency_shell,
dracut skip it. Now change the implementation of action_on_fail to depend
on a file which is created by kdump when making kdump initrd, then remove it
at the beginning of kdump. This can solve the explicit emergency_shell problem.
And action_on_fail won't need paramenters, remove the relevant description in
dracut man page.

Currently in initrd, hardware clock is always considered to use UTC time
format and system time zone is also UTC. Thus system time isn't correct
if hw clock is localtime or we're using other time zone in real root.
To fix this, install /etc/adjtime and /etc/localtime to initrd. If not
using systemd, install /usr/sbin/hwclock for dracut init to setup system
time.

When dropped to emergency shell, for example, use rd.break=pre-pivot,
the PS1 won't correctly show current directory we're in:
pre-pivot:/# cd /sysroot/
pre-pivot:/#
(still shows "/")
Let's take a look at PS1 variable:
(I'm adding prefix/suffix 'x' to make it clear):
pre-pivot:/# echo x${PS1}x
xpre-pivot:/# x
(PS1 isn't dynamic)
Regarding the current dracut code, it should be:
pre-pivot:/# cd /sysroot/etc
pre-pivot:/sysroot/etc#
With this patch:
pre-pivot:/# echo x${PS1}x
xpre-pivot:${PWD}# x
(Now PS1 is dynamic, it will show the directory correctly)
I tested for both normal boot and kdump boot.

Currently the default action is emergency_shell when failure happened
during system boot. In kdump, this default may not be expected. E.g,
if dump target is not rootfs, it does not matter if mount root failed.
Adding an action which allow dracut always go ahead though failure
happens is needed by kdump.
So here add a function action_on_fail() and cmdline parameter
action_on_fail=<shell | continue>. Use action_to_fail() to replace
emergency_shell which was called after failure. By $(getarg action_on_fail=),
decide to drop into shell, or to leave away the failure and go ahead.

add handling of selinux policy loaded failure, and change code format to
be consitent

Previously I added several trace point to the begin of several
init hooks of systemd, old init script also need this debug info.
Doing same here as what's added in the systemd service scripts:
At cmdline hooks adding trace of "1+:mem 1+:iomem 3+:slab"
For other hooks adding trace of "1:shortmem 2+:mem 3+:slab"
