* watchdog: export lockup_detector_reconfigureLaurent Dufour2022-07-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some circumstances it may be interesting to reconfigure the watchdog from inside the kernel. On PowerPC, this may helpful before and after a LPAR migration (LPM) is initiated, because it implies some latencies, watchdog, and especially NMI watchdog is expected to be triggered during this operation. Reconfiguring the watchdog with a factor, would prevent it to happen too frequently during LPM. Rename lockup_detector_reconfigure() as __lockup_detector_reconfigure() and create a new function lockup_detector_reconfigure() calling __lockup_detector_reconfigure() under the protection of watchdog_mutex.

* sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handlerChristoph Hellwig2020-04-271-10/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical.

* watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_workPeter Zijlstra2018-07-031-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oleg suggested to replace the "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_work. That removes one thread per CPU while at the same time fixes softlockup vs SCHED_DEADLINE. But more importantly, it does away with the single smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() user, which allows cleanups/shrinkage of the smpboot interface.

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* powerpc/watchdog: Make use of watchdog_nmi_probe()Thomas Gleixner2017-10-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rework of the core hotplug code triggers the WARN_ON in start_wd_cpu() on powerpc because it is called multiple times for the boot CPU. The first call is via: start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0 watchdog_nmi_reconfigure+0x124/0x170 softlockup_reconfigure_threads+0x110/0x130 lockup_detector_init+0xbc/0xe0 kernel_init_freeable+0x18c/0x37c kernel_init+0x2c/0x160 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc And then again via the CPU hotplug registration: start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0 cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x194/0x620 cpuhp_thread_fun+0x7c/0x1b0 smpboot_thread_fn+0x290/0x2a0 kthread+0x168/0x1b0 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc This can be avoided by setting up the cpu hotplug state with nocalls and move the initialization to the watchdog_nmi_probe() function. That initializes the hotplug callbacks without invoking the callback and the following core initialization function then configures the watchdog for the online CPUs (in this case CPU0) via softlockup_reconfigure_threads().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent cleanup of the watchdog code split watchdog_nmi_reconfigure() into two stages. One to stop the NMI and one to restart it after reconfiguration. That was done by adding a boolean 'run' argument to the code, which is functionally correct but not necessarily a piece of art.

But the NMI/perf side still uses the old value up to the point where it is disabled. If the rate has been lowered then the NMI can run fast enough to 'detect' a hard lockup because the timer has not fired due to the longer period. The patch 'fixed' this by adding a variable: proc_write() set_sample_period() <----- Broken starts proc_watchdog_update() watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn() update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period) watchdog_park_threads() park_in_progress = 1 <----- Broken ends nmi_watchdog() if (park_in_progress) return; The only effect of this variable was to make the window where the breakage can hit small enough that it was not longer observable in testing. From a correctness point of view it is a pointless bandaid which merily papers over the root cause: the unsychronized update of the variable. Looking deeper into the related code pathes unearthed similar problems in the watchdog_start()/stop() functions. watchdog_start() perf_nmi_event_start() hrtimer_start() watchdog_stop() hrtimer_cancel() perf_nmi_event_stop() In both cases the call order is wrong because if the tasks gets preempted or the VM gets scheduled out long enough after the first call, then there is a chance that the next NMI will see a stale hrtimer interrupt count and trigger a false positive hard lockup splat. Get rid of park_in_progress so the code can be gradually deobfuscated and pruned from several layers of duct tape papering over the root cause, which has been either ignored or not understood at all. Once this is removed the underlying problem will be fixed by rewriting the proc interface to do a proper synchronized update. Address the start/stop() ordering problem as well by reverting the call order, so this part is at least correct now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following deadlock is possible in the watchdog hotplug code: cpus_write_lock() ... takedown_cpu() smpboot_park_threads() smpboot_park_thread() kthread_park() ->park() := watchdog_disable() watchdog_nmi_disable() perf_event_release_kernel(); put_event() _free_event() ->destroy() := hw_perf_event_destroy() x86_release_hardware() release_ds_buffers() get_online_cpus() when a per cpu watchdog perf event is destroyed which drops the last reference to the PMU hardware. The cleanup code there invokes get_online_cpus() which instantly deadlocks because the hotplug percpu rwsem is write locked. To solve this add a deferring mechanism: cpus_write_lock() kthread_park() watchdog_nmi_disable(deferred) perf_event_disable(event); move_event_to_deferred(event); .... cpus_write_unlock() cleaup_deferred_events() perf_event_release_kernel() This is still properly serialized against concurrent hotplug via the cpu_add_remove_lock, which is held by the task which initiated the hotplug event. This is also used to handle event destruction when the watchdog threads are parked via other mechanisms than CPU hotplug.

* kernel/watchdog: Prevent false positives with turbo modesThomas Gleixner2017-08-181-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardlockup detector on x86 uses a performance counter based on unhalted CPU cycles and a periodic hrtimer. The hrtimer period is about 2/5 of the performance counter period, so the hrtimer should fire 2-3 times before the performance counter NMI fires. The NMI code checks whether the hrtimer fired since the last invocation. If not, it assumess a hard lockup. The calculation of those periods is based on the nominal CPU frequency. Turbo modes increase the CPU clock frequency and therefore shorten the period of the perf/NMI watchdog. With extreme Turbo-modes (3x nominal frequency) the perf/NMI period is shorter than the hrtimer period which leads to false positives. A simple fix would be to shorten the hrtimer period, but that comes with the side effect of more frequent hrtimer and softlockup thread wakeups, which is not desired. Implement a low pass filter, which checks the perf/NMI period against kernel time. If the perf/NMI fires before 4/5 of the watchdog period has elapsed then the event is ignored and postponed to the next perf/NMI. That solves the problem and avoids the overhead of shorter hrtimer periods and more frequent softlockup thread wakeups.

* kernel/watchdog: split up config optionsNicholas Piggin2017-07-121-9/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors. An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces. sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

* kernel/watchdog: prevent false hardlockup on overloaded systemDon Zickus2017-01-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On an overloaded system, it is possible that a change in the watchdog threshold can be delayed long enough to trigger a false positive. This can easily be achieved by having a cpu spinning indefinitely on a task, while another cpu updates watchdog threshold. What happens is while trying to park the watchdog threads, the hrtimers on the other cpus trigger and reprogram themselves with the new slower watchdog threshold. Meanwhile, the nmi watchdog is still programmed with the old faster threshold. Because the one cpu is blocked, it prevents the thread parking on the other cpus from completing, which is needed to shutdown the nmi watchdog and reprogram it correctly. As a result, a false positive from the nmi watchdog is reported. Fix this by setting a park_in_progress flag to block all lockups until the parking is complete. Fix provided by Ulrich Obergfell.

* nmi_backtrace: add more trigger_*_cpu_backtrace() methodsChris Metcalf2016-10-071-5/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9. This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small improvements along the way. The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu. It can be helpful to see both where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the cpu that is being interrupted is. The nmi_backtrace framework allows us to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu. I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested x86, arm, mips, and sparc64. For x86 I confirmed that the generic cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the new cpuidle section. For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific idle routines might be. That might be more usefully done by someone with platform experience in follow-up patches. This patch (of 4): Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all cpus but yourself. It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to support a cpumask as the underlying primitive. This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use the new "cpumask" method instead. The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to using the new cpumask approach in this change. The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach. The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time. Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl. In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that schedules the watchdog kthread to run. However, nohz_full cores are designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to have 100% access to the CPU. So the watchdog system prevents the nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to, thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which this patchset provides by default. However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality. So we allow disabling it only on some cores.

* watchdog: new definitions and variables, initializationUlrich Obergfell2015-04-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardlockup and softockup had always been tied together. Due to the request of KVM folks, they had a need to have one enabled but not the other. Internally rework the code to split things apart more cleanly. There is a bunch of churn here, but the end result should be code that should be easier to maintain and fix without knowing the internals of what is going on. This patch (of 9): Introduce new definitions and variables to separate the user interface in /proc/sys/kernel from the internal run state of the lockup detectors. The internal run state is represented by two bits in a new variable that is named 'watchdog_enabled'. This helps simplify the code, for example: - In order to check if any of the two lockup detectors is enabled, it is sufficient to check if 'watchdog_enabled' is not zero. - In order to enable/disable one or both lockup detectors, it is sufficient to set/clear one or both bits in 'watchdog_enabled'. - Concurrent updates of 'watchdog_enabled' need not be synchronized via a spinlock or a mutex. Updates can either be atomic or concurrency can be detected by using 'cmpxchg'.

* kernel/watchdog.c: control hard lockup detection defaultUlrich Obergfell2014-10-141-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default. An example is when running as a guest. Introduce watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool) allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection. This must be executed early by the boot processor from e.g. smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance to indicate that it's unwanted. In summary, initial boot: default=enabled smp_prepare_boot_cpu watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false): default=disabled cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1': default=enabled The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual. However even when the default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially show '1'. To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e. echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this series. Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.

* acpi, apei, ghes: Make NMI error notification to be GHES architecture extension.Tomasz Nowicki2014-07-221-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently APEI depends on x86 architecture. It is because of NMI hardware error notification of GHES which is currently supported by x86 only. However, many other APEI features can be still used perfectly by other architectures. This commit adds two symbols: 1. HAVE_ACPI_APEI for those archs which support APEI. 2. HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI which is used for NMI code isolation in ghes.c file. NMI related data and functions are grouped so they can be wrapped inside one #ifdef section. Appropriate function stubs are provided for !NMI case. Note there is no functional changes for x86 due to hard selected HAVE_ACPI_APEI and HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI symbols.

* kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detectionAaron Tomlin2014-06-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving other tasks a chance to run. Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system log. On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be insufficient to assist debugging efforts. To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain a stack trace. If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

* nmi: provide the option to issue an NMI back trace to every cpu but currentAaron Tomlin2014-06-231-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes it is preferred not to use the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() routine when one wants to avoid capturing a back trace for current. For instance if one was previously captured recently. This patch provides a new routine namely trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace() which offers the flexibility to issue an NMI to every cpu but current and capture a back trace accordingly. Patch x86 and sparc to support new routine.

* watchdog: Rename confusing state variableFrederic Weisbecker2013-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have two very conflicting state variable names in the watchdog: * watchdog_enabled: This one reflects the user interface. It's set to 1 by default and can be overriden with boot options or sysctl/procfs interface. * watchdog_disabled: This is the internal toggle state that tells if watchdog threads, timers and NMI events are currently running or not. This state mostly depends on the user settings. It's a convenient state latch. Now we really need to find clearer names because those are just too confusing to encourage deep review. watchdog_enabled now becomes watchdog_user_enabled to reflect its purpose as an interface. watchdog_disabled becomes watchdog_running to suggest its role as a pure internal state.

* watchdog: Change the default timeout and configure nmi watchdog period based ↵Mandeep Singh Baines2011-05-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on watchdog_thresh Before the conversion of the NMI watchdog to perf event, the watchdog timeout was 5 seconds. Now it is 60 seconds. For my particular application, netbooks, 5 seconds was a better timeout. With a short timeout, we catch faults earlier and are able to send back a panic. With a 60 second timeout, the user is unlikely to wait and will instead hit the power button, causing us to lose the panic info. This change configures the NMI period to watchdog_thresh and sets the softlockup_thresh to watchdog_thresh * 2. In addition, watchdog_thresh was reduced to 10 seconds as suggested by Ingo Molnar.

* x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on ↵Don Zickus2010-12-221-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a local implementation to the global one provide by kernel/watchdog.c. This shift has caused a whole bunch of compile problems under different config options. I attempt to simplify things with the patch below. In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing, the former on a local level and the latter on a global level. With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't make sense any more. x86 will now use the global implementation. The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog functionality, so the change should make sense. Second, I removed the x86 implementation of touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation. Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This changes removes some of the ugliness in that file. Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can only have one nmi_watchdog. Tested with ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken emails. :-) v3: changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.
