Security update for kdump

Notes

Title of the patch
Security update for kdump
Description of the patch
This update for kdump provides several fixes and enhancements: - Refresh kdumprd if /etc/hosts or /etc/nsswitch.conf is changed. (bsc#943214) - Add a separate systemd service to rebuild kdumprd at boot. (bsc#943214) - Improve network setup in the kdump environment by reading configuration from wicked by default (system configuration files are used as a fallback). (bsc#980328) - Use the last mount entry in kdump_get_mountpoints(). (bsc#951844) - Remove 'notsc' from the kdump kernel command line. (bsc#973213) - Handle dump files with many program headers. (bsc#932339, bsc#970708) - Fall back to stat() if file type is DT_UNKNOWN. (bsc#964206) - Remove vm. sysctls from kdump initrd. (bsc#927451, bsc#987862) - Use the exit code of kexec, not that of 'local'. (bsc#984799) - Convert sysroot to a bind mount in kdump initrd. (bsc#976864) - Distinguish between Xenlinux (aka Xenified or SUSE) and pvops Xen kernels, as the latter can run on bare metal. (bsc#974270) - CVE-2016-5759: Use full path to dracut as argument to bash. (bsc#989972, bsc#990200)
