Hi, this patchset is supposed to replace the last patch in the patchset cleaning up after introducing the buddy detector, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230526184139.10.I821fe7609e57608913fe05abd8f35b343e7a9aae@changeid There are four possible variants of hardlockup detectors: + buddy: available when SMP is set. + perf: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is set. + arch-specific: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set. + sparc64 special variant: available when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is not set. Only one hardlockup detector can be compiled in. The selection is done using quite complex dependencies between several CONFIG variables. The following patches will try to make it more straightforward. Before, the decision was done using the following variables: + HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF + HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY + HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH + HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY + HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY and the particular watchdog was used when the following variables were set: + perf: HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF + buddy: HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY + arch-specific: HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH + sparc64: HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG && !HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH After, the decision is done using the following variables: + HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF + HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY + HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH + HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64 + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH + HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64 and the particular watchdog is used when one of these variables is set: + perf: HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF + buddy: HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY + arch-specific: HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH + sparc64: HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64 Plus, many checks are more straightforward and even self-explanatory. I build and run tested it on x86_64. I only checked the generated .config after using sparc_defconfig, sparc64_defconfig, ppc64_defconfig, and ppc40x_defconfig.
