HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is always enabled when SPARC64 is enabled. The sparc64
implementation is special. It does not support the generic hardlockup
related Kconfig values, command line parameters, and sysctl interface.
Instead it is enabled/disabled by the top-level watchdog interface
that is common for both softlockup and hardlockup detectors.
As a result, sparc64 needs special treating in Kconfig and source
files. The checks are a bit complicated because HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is
automatically set when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set.
But HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set when the arch specific
implementation uses the generic hardlockup detector related
Kconfig variables, command line parameters, and sysctl interface.
The motivation probably was to avoid changes in the code when
the powerpc64-specific watchdog introduced HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.
It probably allowed to re-use some existing checks for HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG.
But it actually made things pretty complicated. For example,
the following check was needed in HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR config variable:
depends on ((HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY) && !HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG) || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH
The inverted logic makes things easier:
+ HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is used only on sparc64. It is clear when
the sparc64 specific watchdog is used.
+ HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is basically compatible with
the generic watchdogs. As a result, the common code
is marked by ifdef CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.
As a result:
+ Some conditions are easier.
+ Some conditions use HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH instead of
HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG.
Note that HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY, HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF,
and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY might depend only on
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. They depend on HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
and it is not longer enabled when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set.
Note that asm/nmi.h still has to be included for all arch-specific
watchdogs. It declares more functions that are used in another
arch specific code which includes only linux/nmi.h.
