Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
When using a kernel built with the GZIO config option, dumpon -z can be
used to configure gzip compression using the in-kernel copy of zlib.
This is useful on systems with large amounts of RAM, which require a
correspondingly large dump device. Recovery of compressed dumps is also
faster since fewer bytes need to be copied from the dump device.
Because we have no way of knowing the final size of a compressed dump
until it is written, the kernel will always attempt to dump when
compression is configured, regardless of the dump device size. If the
dump is aborted because we run out of space, an error is reported on
the console.
savecore(8) is modified to handle compressed dumps and save them to
vmcore.<index>.gz, as it does when given the -z option.
A new rc.conf variable, dumpon_flags, is added. Its value is added to
the boot-time dumpon(8) invocation that occurs when a dump device is
configured in rc.conf.

I was swayed a little too quickly when I saw the wiki page discussing
kB vs KiB. Switch back as none of the code in base openly uses
IEC units via humanize_number(3) (which was my next step), and there's
a large degree of dislike with IEC vs more SI-like units.

- Use strtoll(3) instead of atoi(3), because atoi(3) limits the
representable data to INT_MAX. Check the values received from
strtoll(3), trimming trailing whitespace off the end to maintain
POLA.
- Use `KiB` instead of `kB` when describing free space, total space,
etc. I am now fully aware of `KiB` being the IEC standard for 1024
bytes and `kB` being the IEC standard for 1000 bytes.
- Store available number of KiB in `available` so it can be more
easily queried and compared to ensure that there are enough KiB to
store the dump image on disk.
- Print out the reserved space on disk, per `minfree`, so end-users
can troubleshoot why check_space(..) is reporting that there isn't
enough free space.

Changes include modifications in kernel crash dump routines, dumpon(8) and
savecore(8). A new tool called decryptcore(8) was added.
A new DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was added to send a kernel crash dump
configuration in the diocskerneldump_arg structure to the kernel.
The old DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was renamed to DIOCSKERNELDUMP_FREEBSD11 for
backward ABI compatibility.
dumpon(8) generates an one-time random symmetric key and encrypts it using
an RSA public key in capability mode. Currently only AES-256-CBC is supported
but EKCD was designed to implement support for other algorithms in the future.
The public key is chosen using the -k flag. The dumpon rc(8) script can do this
automatically during startup using the dumppubkey rc.conf(5) variable. Once the
keys are calculated dumpon sends them to the kernel via DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O
control.
When the kernel receives the DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control it generates a random
IV and sets up the key schedule for the specified algorithm. Each time the
kernel tries to write a crash dump to the dump device, the IV is replaced by
a SHA-256 hash of the previous value. This is intended to make a possible
differential cryptanalysis harder since it is possible to write multiple crash
dumps without reboot by repeating the following commands:
# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
db> call doadump(0)
db> continue
# savecore
A kernel dump key consists of an algorithm identifier, an IV and an encrypted
symmetric key. The kernel dump key size is included in a kernel dump header.
The size is an unsigned 32-bit integer and it is aligned to a block size.
The header structure has 512 bytes to match the block size so it was required to
make a panic string 4 bytes shorter to add a new field to the header structure.
If the kernel dump key size in the header is nonzero it is assumed that the
kernel dump key is placed after the first header on the dump device and the core
dump is encrypted.
Separate functions were implemented to write the kernel dump header and the
kernel dump key as they need to be unencrypted. The dump_write function encrypts
data if the kernel was compiled with the EKCD option. Encrypted kernel textdumps
are not supported due to the way they are constructed which makes it impossible
to use the CBC mode for encryption. It should be also noted that textdumps don't
contain sensitive data by design as a user decides what information should be
dumped.
savecore(8) writes the kernel dump key to a key.# file if its size in the header
is nonzero. # is the number of the current core dump.
decryptcore(8) decrypts the core dump using a private RSA key and the kernel
dump key. This is performed by a child process in capability mode.
If the decryption was not successful the parent process removes a partially
decrypted core dump.
Description on how to encrypt crash dumps was added to the decryptcore(8),
dumpon(8), rc.conf(5) and savecore(8) manual pages.
EKCD was tested on amd64 using bhyve and i386, mipsel and sparc64 using QEMU.
The feature still has to be tested on arm and arm64 as it wasn't possible to run
FreeBSD due to the problems with QEMU emulation and lack of hardware.

A premature optimization lead to caching a native-sector sized memory
allocation. If the program examined a 512 byte sector disk, then a 4096
byte sector disk, the program would overrun the cached 512 byte buffer.
Just remove the optimization to fix the bug. This was introduced with the 4Kn
dump support in r298076.

(And 4Kn minidump support, but only for amd64.)
Make sure all I/O to the dump device is of the native sector size. To
that end, we keep a native sector sized buffer associated with dump
devices (di->blockbuf) and use it to pad smaller objects as needed (e.g.
kerneldumpheader).
Add dump_write_pad() as a convenience API to dump smaller objects with
zero padding. (Rather than pull in NPM leftpad, we wrote our own.)
Savecore(1) has been updated to deal with these dumps. The format for
512-byte sector dumps should remain backwards compatible.
Minidumps for other architectures are left as an exercise for the
reader.
