[PATCH] watchdog: softdog: make pretimeout support a compile option

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

 



It occured to me that the panic pretimeout governor will stall the
softdog, because it is purely software which simply halts on panic.
Testing governors with the softdog on the other hand is really useful.
So, make this feature a compile time option which needs to be enabled
explicitly. This also removes the overhead if pretimeout support is not
used because it will now be compiled away (saving ~10% on ARM32).
