  • 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!
