This patch breaks x86: arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `show_stack_log_lvl': (.text+0xc2c0): undefined reference to `touch_nmi_watchdog' arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `print_trace_address': dumpstack.c:(.text+0xd893): undefined reference to `touch_nmi_watchdog' arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `mce_timed_out': mce.c:(.text+0x20008): undefined reference to `touch_nmi_watchdog' arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog': (.text+0x261f2): undefined reference to `touch_nmi_watchdog' CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG=y CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI=y CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG=m CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT=y # CONFIG_SOFT_WATCHDOG is not set CONFIG_HP_WATCHDOG=y CONFIG_SBC_EPX_C3_WATCHDOG=m # CONFIG_PCIPCWATCHDOG is not set # CONFIG_USBPCWATCHDOG is not set CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_NMI_ENTER=y CONFIG_FTRACE_NMI_ENTER=y I'd _strongly_ suggest to simplify the code. There's a few things that could be done to that end: - just have a single watchdog option and dont split the soft-dog from the hard-dog. - use config options to define default behavior: i.e. whether the soft-dog and hard-dog is enabled by default, but otherwise keep them both included. - provide a smooth pathway for architectures that have an NMI watchdog right now. Dont overlap their symbols for example. ... and similar measures.
