[RFC] arch hardlockup detector interfaces improvement

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'd like to make it easier for architectures that have their own NMI /
hard lockup detector to reuse various configuration interfaces that are
provided by generic detectors (cmdline, sysctl, suspend/resume calls).

I'd also like to remove the dependency of arch hard lockup detectors
on the softlockup detector. The reason being these watchdogs can be
very small (sparc's is like a page of core code that does not use any
big subsystem like kthreads or timers).

So I do this by adding a separate CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR, and
juggling around what goes under config options. HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG
continues to be the config for arch to override the hard lockup
detector, which is expanded to cover a few more cases.

These config options are pretty ugly, but they already were. I don't
think they've become a lot worse after this.

Architectures can then use watchdog_nmi_reconfigure() which gets
called every time something changes (sysctls, suspend/resume, etc) and
adjust according to relevant parameters (watchdog_enabled,
watchdog_thresh, watchdog_cpumask, watchdog_suspended).

I have something for powerpc but I want to make sure this generic code
change is reasonable and could work for other archs.

Thanks,
Nick
