Implement function update_arch_nmi_watchdog to enable/disable nmi watchdog. Sparc uses arch specific nmi watchdog handler. Currently, we do not have a way to enable/disable nmi watchdog dynamically. With these patches we can enable or disable arch specinf nmi watchdogs using proc or sysctl interface. Example commands. To enable: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog To disable: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog It can also achieved using the sysctl parameter kernel.nmi_watchdog Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@xxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/sparc/kernel/nmi.c | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/sparc/kernel/nmi.c b/arch/sparc/kernel/nmi.c index a9973bb..27c4e18 100644 --- a/arch/sparc/kernel/nmi.c +++ b/arch/sparc/kernel/nmi.c @@ -153,6 +153,8 @@ static void report_broken_nmi(int cpu, int *prev_nmi_count) void stop_nmi_watchdog(void *unused) { + if (!__this_cpu_read(wd_enabled)) + return; pcr_ops->write_pcr(0, pcr_ops->pcr_nmi_disable); __this_cpu_write(wd_enabled, 0); atomic_dec(&nmi_active); @@ -207,6 +209,8 @@ error: void start_nmi_watchdog(void *unused) { + if (__this_cpu_read(wd_enabled)) + return; __this_cpu_write(wd_enabled, 1); atomic_inc(&nmi_active); @@ -270,3 +274,25 @@ static int __init setup_nmi_watchdog(char *str) return 0; } __setup("nmi_watchdog=", setup_nmi_watchdog); + +#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR +void update_arch_nmi_watchdog(void) +{ + if (atomic_read(&nmi_active) < 0) { + printk(KERN_WARNING + "NMI watchdog cannot be enabled or disabled\n"); + return; + } + + /* + * Check for bit 0.
