As we already used hld internally for arm64 since 2020, there still doesn't have a proper commit on the upstream and we badly need it. This serise rework on 5.17 from [1] and the origin author is Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@xxxxxxxxx> Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@xxxxxxxxxx> Qoute from [1]: > Hard lockup detector is helpful to diagnose unpaired irq > enable/disable. > But the current watchdog framework can not cope with arm64 hw perf > event > easily. > On arm64, when lockup_detector_init()->watchdog_nmi_probe(), PMU is > not > ready until device_initcall(armv8_pmu_driver_init).

Provide an API - retry_lockup_detector_init() for anyone who needs to delayed init lockup detector. The original assumption is: nobody should use delayed probe after lockup_detector_check() (which has __init attribute). That is, anyone uses this API must call between lockup_detector_init() and lockup_detector_check(), and the caller must have __init attribute The delayed init flow is: 1. lockup_detector_init() -> watchdog_nmi_probe() get non-zero retun, then set allow_lockup_detector_init_retry to true which means it's able to do delayed probe later. 2. PMU arch code init done, call retry_lockup_detector_init(). 3. retry_lockup_detector_init() queue the work only when allow_lockup_detector_init_retry is true which means nobody should call this before lockup_detector_init(). 4. the work lockup_detector_delay_init() is doing without wait event. if probe success, set allow_lockup_detector_init_retry to false. 5. at late_initcall_sync(), lockup_detector_check() set allow_lockup_detector_init_retry to false first to avoid any later retry, and then flush_work() to make sure the __init section won't be freed before the work done.
