It parses depmod configuration and scans modules.dep for kernel modules
present in directories supplied in "overrides", "external", and "search"
depmod configuration options. The resulting list of (absolute) kernel
module paths is then supplied to instmods.

No way. Just ensure the links are there in the initramfs image. In fact,
that is already the case for iscsiuio.socket. Add iscsid.socket too.
If the network module obtained a lease using dhclient, NetworkManager
must be configured to use it too, otherwise it would obtain a different
lease (and could potentially break a connection to the network volume).
With all files stored in ramfs, and most of them are not compressed,
the initramfs will take up a lot of memory. Besides, if the file number
is large, each file will waste some memory due to page fragmetation.
This is due to ramfs' design, at least one page will be allocated for
one file however small the file is. On machine with large page size,
this will become worse and waste too many memory.
One approach to reducing the memory usage is to reduce the number of
files that got directly loaded into the root ramfs, and compress files
by put most files will into a read-only squash image and keep a minimum
set of executable and libraries outside as the loader for the squash
image. After the squash image is mounted, the real 'init' will be
executed and then everything behaves as usual.
This patch will introduce a '99squash' module which will never be
included by default. User can force add it, and if it is included,
dracut will perform some extra steps before creating the final image:
For now, "/etc" and "/usr" will be moved into the squashfs image.
"/init" will be renamed to "/init.stock" and replaced by "/init.squash".
Files and folders need to be accessible before mounting the image will
be still avaliable at their original place. And due to squashfs is
readonly, an overlayfs layer will be created on top of squashfs mount
point, as many dracut module require readwrite access to "/etc" and
"/usr", "init.squash" will ultimately call "/init.stock".
An extra systemd service will be installed. This service will umount all
squashfs related mount points right before switch-root to release
resources properly. This service will not actually do anything if
switch-root is not used.
This is very helpful when mem resource is very limited, like Kdump.
According to my tests, this squash module can help save about 35MB of
memory with 64K page size, or about 15MB with 4K page size on an
ordinary kdump capture routine. This module could also help reduce
memory usage for normal boot up process.
Won't change any behavior if squash module is not enabled.

Lets not unnecessarily rely on __WORDSIZE, which is not clearly specified
by any spec. Use explicit size comparisons if we're not interested in the
WORDSIZE, anyway.
Patch ported from systemd.

Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/602122
On my system the following initrd-release is generated:
...
VERSION="4 dracut-048 dracut-048"
...
VERSION is not defined in /etc/os-release, so the variable is
concatenated with its previous value:
* "4" comes from the kernel build system since dracut is called from the
kernel install hook ("4" is a major kernel version);
* first "dracut-048" comes from the "systemd-initrd" module;
* second "dracut-048" comes from the "base" module.
This is what happened before this patch (edited for brevity):
dracut-cmdline-ask.service in modules.d/98dracut-systemd, which invokes
dracut-cmdline-ask.sh. This script and systemd-vconsole-setup are
started in parallel for the same console (tty1).
Then dracut-cmdline-ask quits immediately without doing anything (unless
rd.cmdline=ask is given). As this is a bash script and it gets tty as
stdin as specified in its *.service, this triggers the hangup of tty1 at
its exit.
Meanwhile systemd-vconsole-setup continues and tries some ioctls after
that, but they fail because of the hung up tty1.
The usual culprit for starting systemd-vconsole-setup early on is
plymouth-start.service, even if plymouth.enable=0 is set.
A popular (and annoying) symptom of this as reported by users was
the inability use their configured keyboard layout in plymouth when
unlocking their crypted block devices.
Reference: boo#1055834
When extra devices are added, initqueue should be enabled to make sure
those devices are present, so following services and routines could
use those devices.
See PR #442 for more detail.
Use multiple lower layer directories in a single OverlayFS mount with
a transient overlay directory.
Tolerate a command line with rd.live.overlay.readonly and NO persistent
overlay by reconfiguring the OverlayFS mount options.
Use more compatible shell syntax for testing symlinks, and use printf
instead of echo -e.
A simplified root filesystem structure may be provided for OverlayFS
overlays by squashing the root filesystem directly instead of squashing
an embedded image file at /LiveOS/rootfs.img. Detect and configure
such a squashed root filesystem for live booting.
For OverlayFS boots, avoid the read-only Device-mapper linear device
at /dev/mapper/live-base.
Create a consistent device link at /dev/live-base for the read-only
base loop device for all overlayed live root filesystems.
Consistently provide a link at /dev/root for wait_for_dev.
Update documentation.
Adjust sysroot.mount configuration for rd.live.overlay.overlayfs option.
Use link at /dev/root as a consistent flag for wait_for_dev.
Adjust documentation.
The old code used /tmp/net.$netif.resolv.conf with $netif being randomly
chosen.
As it is not known which nameserver have which priority, just sort them
and deduplicate.
