[PATCH 0/4][V3] Improve watchdog config for arch watchdogs

From: Nicholas Piggin
Date: Mon May 29 2017 - 21:27:23 EST


Since last time:

- Have the perf based hardlockup detector use arch_touch_nmi_watchdog()
rather than hld_touch_nmi_watchdog(). This changes direction slightly
to make the perf-based hard lockup detector an alternative that an
arch may select, rather than standalone. This better reflects how the
code works in practice).

- Hopefully fixed the Kconfig options. There's still a bit of ugliness
that will require another pass or two over interfaces and config
scheme, but the idea is to make a minimal change to get the powerpc
HLD in, which gives a reasonable starting point to improve things
further.

Nicholas Piggin (4):
watchdog: remove unused declaration
watchdog: Introduce arch_touch_nmi_watchdog()
watchdog: Split up config options
watchdog: Provide watchdog_reconfigure() for arch watchdogs
