nmi_watchdog: Add new, generic implementation, using perf events
This is a new generic nmi_watchdog implementation using the perf
events infrastructure as suggested by Ingo.
The implementation is simple, just create an in-kernel perf
event and register an overflow handler to check for cpu lockups.
I created a generic implementation that lives in kernel/ and
the hardware specific part that for now lives in arch/x86.
This approach has a number of advantages:
- It simplifies the x86 PMU implementation in the long run,
in that it removes the hardcoded low-level PMU implementation
that was the NMI watchdog before.
- It allows new NMI watchdog features to be added in a central
place.
- It allows other architectures to enable the NMI watchdog,
as long as they have perf events (that provide NMIs)
implemented.
- It also allows for more graceful co-existence of existing
perf events apps and the NMI watchdog - before these changes
the relationship was exclusive. (The NMI watchdog will 'spend'
a perf event when enabled. In later iterations we might be
able to piggyback from an existing NMI event without having
to allocate a hardware event for the NMI watchdog - turning
this into a no-hardware-cost feature.)
As for compatibility, we'll keep the old NMI watchdog code as
well until the new one can 100% replace it on all CPUs, old and
new alike. That might take some time as the NMI watchdog has
been ported to many CPU models.
I have done light testing to make sure the framework works
correctly and it does.
v2: Set the correct timeout values based on the old nmi
watchdog
