[RFC PATCH 14/23] watchdog/hardlockup: Decouple the hardlockup detector from perf

Ricardo Neri ricardo.neri-calderon at linux.intel.com
Wed Jun 13 10:57:34 AEST 2018


The current default implementation of the hardlockup detector assumes that
it is implemented using perf events. However, the hardlockup detector can
be driven by other sources of non-maskable interrupts (e.g., a properly
configured timer).

Put in a separate file all the code that is specific to perf: create and
manage events, stop and start the detector. This perf-specific code is put
in the new file watchdog_hld_perf.c

The code generic code used to monitor the timers' thresholds, check
timestamps and detect hardlockups remains in watchdog_hld.c

Functions and variables are simply relocated to a new file. No functional
changes were made.
