Subject: watchdog/hardlockup: HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG must implement watchdog_hardlockup_probe()
Date: Fri, 26 May 2023 18:41:32 -0700
Right now there is one arch (sparc64) that selects HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG
without selecting HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Because of that one
architecture, we have some special case code in the watchdog core to
handle the fact that watchdog_hardlockup_probe() isn't implemented.
Let's implement watchdog_hardlockup_probe() for sparc64 and get rid of the
special case.
As a side effect of doing this, code inspection tells us that we could fix
a minor bug where the system won't properly realize that NMI watchdogs are
disabled. Specifically, on powerpc if CONFIG_PPC_WATCHDOG is turned off
the arch might still select CONFIG_HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH which
selects CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG. Since CONFIG_PPC_WATCHDOG was off then
nothing will override the "weak" watchdog_hardlockup_probe() and we'll
fallback to looking at CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG.
