[PATCH] Watchdog on MPC85xx SMP system

Tue Apr 29 18:42:05 EST 2008


On Book-E SMP systems each core has its own private watchdog.
If only one watchdog is enabled, when the core that doesn't
enable the watchdog is hung, system can't reset because no
watchdog is running on it. That's bad. It means we must
enable watchdogs on both cores.

We can use smp_call_function() to send appropriate messages to
all the other cores to enable and update the watchdog.

Now Tested on MPC8572DS platform.
