  • Move the limited watchdog driver help from kernel-parameters.txt
    to Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.txt and add info to it
    for all watchdog drivers except the ones that have driver-specific
    files already.

    Correct minor comments and MODULE_PARM_DESC() text in 2 places.

  • In the watchdog-test program and watchdog-api.txt, pass the values to
    the WDIOC_SETOPTIONS ioctl as a pointer to an integer containing the
    values intead of directly in the third ioctl argument. The actual
    watchdog drivers in drivers/watchdog don't read the options directly
    from the argument but use get_user and copy_from_user.

  • Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
    since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
    text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
    be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
    instead of bad examples.

    Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
    Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.

    Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
    Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
    However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
    to be installed (for userspace builds).

    Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
    sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

  • Random sampling of some URLs in the Documentation tree to see how many were
    stale found that one watchdog driver was now a porn site. In fact if the
    watchdogs document directory was any older it would be written in latin

    Clean it up somewhat and add Last reviewed headers, something all the
    Documentation could do with IMHO.

  • Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always
    be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot
    understand why this rule exists. This patch fixes "can not" in several
    Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

  • Documentation/watchdog/:
    Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in
    their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files.

    This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need
    to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and
    to janitors who would update them if they were more visible.

    Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at
    all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if
    they should be removed.

  • Some watchdog drivers have the ability to report the remaining time
    before the system will reboot. With the WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT ioctl
    you can now read the time left before the watchdog would reboot
    your system.

    The following drivers support this new IOCTL:
    i8xx_tco.c, pcwd_pci.c and pcwd_usb.c .

  • Some watchdog timers support the concept of a "pretimeout" which
    occurs some time before the real timeout. The pretimeout can
    be delivered via an interrupt or NMI and can be used to panic
    the system when it occurs (so you get useful information instead
    of a blind reboot).

  • PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor
    core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies
    that can be configured by software.

    One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to
    board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If
    nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may
    attempt to reset the machine.

    Command line parameters:
    wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default)
    wdt=1 : enable watchdog

    wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period.

    The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check
    User Manual for the processor for more details.

    This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
