[PATCH v6 26/29] x86/watchdog: Add a shim hardlockup detector

Fri May 6 10:00:05 AEST 2022


The generic hardlockup detector is based on perf. It also provides a set
of weak functions that CPU architectures can override. Add a shim
hardlockup detector for x86 that overrides such functions and can
select between perf and HPET implementations of the detector.

For clarity, add the intermediate Kconfig symbol X86_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
that is selected whenever the core of the hardlockup detector is
selected.

Changes since v5:
 * Added watchdog_nmi_start() to be used when tsc_khz is recalibrated.
 * Always build the x86-specific hardlockup detector shim; not only
   when the HPET-based detector is selected.
 * Corrected a typo in comment in watchdog_nmi_probe() (Ani)
 * Removed useless local ret variable in watchdog_nmi_enable(). (Ani)

Changes since v4:
 * Use a switch to enable and disable the various available detectors.
   (Andi)

Changes since v3:
 * Fixed style in multi-line comment. (Randy Dunlap)

Changes since v2:
 * Pass cpu number as argument to hardlockup_detector_[enable|disable].
   (Thomas Gleixner)

Changes since v1:
 * Introduced this patch: Added an x86-specific shim hardlockup
   detector. (Nicholas Piggin)
