2019-07-08watchdog: convert remaining drivers to use SPDX license identifierGuenter Roeck1-5/+1
This gets rid of the unnecessary license boilerplate, and avoids having to deal with individual patches one by one. No functional changes.

2017-03-01watchdog: softdog: fire watchdog even if softirqs do not get to runNiklas Cassel1-17/+27
Checking for timer expiration is done from the softirq TIMER_SOFTIRQ. Since commit 4cd13c21b207 ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job"), pending softirqs are no longer always handled immediately, instead, if there are pending softirqs, and ksoftirqd is in state TASK_RUNNING, the handling of the softirqs are deferred, and are instead supposed to be handled by ksoftirqd, when ksoftirqd gets scheduled. If a user space process with a real-time policy starts to misbehave by never relinquishing the CPU while ksoftirqd is in state TASK_RUNNING, what will happen is that all softirqs will get deferred, while ksoftirqd, which is supposed to handle the deferred softirqs, will never get to run. To make sure that the watchdog is able to fire even when we do not get to run softirqs, replace the timers with hrtimers.

2017-02-24watchdog: softdog: make pretimeout support a compile optionWolfram Sang1-8/+13
It occurred to me that the panic pretimeout governor will stall the softdog, because it is purely software which simply breaks when the kernel panics. Testing governors with the softdog on the other hand is really useful, so make this feature a compile time option which nees to be enabled explicitly. This also removes the overhead if pretimeout support is not used because it will now be compiled away (saving ~10% on ARM32).

2013-11-17watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV statementsJean Delvare1-1/+0
I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR) and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements. Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded automatically. Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in arbitrary order can't do any good. On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded! If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in user-space.

2011-03-29watchdog: softdog.c: enhancement to optionally invoke panic instead of ↵Anithra P Janakiraman1-3/+13
reboot on timer expiry This is needed for determining the reason for failure when a softdog timeout occurs. We use softdog to watch for critical application failures and at the minimum a snapshot of the system would help to determine the cause. In such a scenario the application could fail but there isn't a softlockup as such, hence the detect softlockup feature does not help. The patch adds a module parameter soft_panic which when set to 1 causes softdog to invoke panic instead of reboot when the softdog timer expires. By invoking panic we execute kdump if it is configured and the vmcore generated by kdump should provide atleast a minimal idea of the reason for failure.
