* iTCO_wdt: all versions count down twicePaolo Bonzini2017-05-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ICH9 is listed as having TCO v2, and indeed the behavior in the datasheet corresponds to v2 (for example the NO_REBOOT flag is accessible via the 16KiB-aligned Root Complex Base Address). However, the TCO counts twice just like in v1; the documentation of the SECOND_TO_STS bit says: "ICH9 sets this bit to 1 to indicate that the TIMEOUT bit had been (or is currently) set and a second timeout occurred before the TCO_RLD register was written. If this bit is set and the NO_REBOOT config bit is 0, then the ICH9 will reboot the system after the second timeout. The same can be found in the BayTrail (Atom E3800) datasheet, and even HOWTOs around the Internet say that it will reboot after _twice_ the specified heartbeat. I did not find the Apollo Lake datasheet, but because v4/v5 has a SECOND_TO_STS bit just like the previous version I'm enabling this for Apollo Lake as well.

* watchdog: Implement status function in watchdog coreGuenter Roeck2016-07-191-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, the watchdog status function called a driver function, which was supposed to return the watchdog status. All but one driver using the watchdog core did not implement this function, and the driver implementing it did not implement it correctly (the function is supposed to return WDIOF_ flags). At the same time, at least some of the status information can be provided by the watchdog core. Provide the available status bits directly from the watchdog driver core. Call the driver status function if it exists to get the boot status, but always provide WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE and WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING internally. This patch makes the 'status' sysfs attribute always available. This attribute is now displayed as hex number with 0x prepended to be easier to decode.

* watchdog: Separate and maintain variables based on variable lifetimeGuenter Roeck2015-12-291-38/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All variables required by the watchdog core to manage a watchdog are currently stored in struct watchdog_device. The lifetime of those variables is determined by the watchdog driver. However, the lifetime of variables used by the watchdog core differs from the lifetime of struct watchdog_device. To remedy this situation, watchdog drivers can implement ref and unref callbacks, to be used by the watchdog core to lock struct watchdog_device in memory. While this solves the immediate problem, it depends on watchdog drivers to actually implement the ref/unref callbacks. This is error prone, often not implemented in the first place, or not implemented correctly. To solve the problem without requiring driver support, split the variables in struct watchdog_device into two data structures - one for variables associated with the watchdog driver, one for variables associated with the watchdog core. With this approach, the watchdog core can keep track of its variable lifetime and no longer depends on ref/unref callbacks in the driver. As a side effect, some of the variables originally in struct watchdog_driver are now private to the watchdog core and no longer visible in watchdog drivers. As a side effect of the changes made, an ioctl will now always fail with -ENODEV after a watchdog device was unregistered with the character device still open. Previously, it would only fail with -ENODEV in some situations. Also, ioctl operations are now atomic from driver perspective. With this change, it is now guaranteed that the driver will not unregister a watchdog between a timeout change and the subsequent ping. The 'ref' and 'unref' callbacks in struct watchdog_driver are no longer used and marked as deprecated.

* watchdog: core: add reboot notifier supportDamien Riegel2015-12-131-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many watchdog drivers register a reboot notifier in order to stop the watchdog on system reboot. Thus we can factorize this code in the watchdog core. For that purpose, a new notifier block is added in watchdog_device for internal use only, as well as a new watchdog_stop_on_reboot helper function. If this helper is called, watchdog core registers the related notifier block and will stop the watchdog when SYS_HALT or SYS_DOWN is received. Since this operation can be critical on some platforms, abort the device registration if the reboot notifier registration fails.

| | | | | | | | | | | Add a early_enable module parameter to the omap_wdt that starts the watchdog on module insertion. The default value is 0 which does not start the watchdog - which also does not change the behavior if the parameter is not given.

* watchdog: watchdog_core: Add watchdog registration deferral mechanismJean-Baptiste Theou2015-06-291-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, watchdog subsystem require the misc subsystem to register a watchdog. This may not be the case in case of an early registration of a watchdog, which can be required when the watchdog cannot be disabled. This patch introduces a deferral mechanism to remove this requirement.

* watchdog: it87_wdt: Work around non-working CIR interruptsMarc van der Wal2014-03-311-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some hardware platforms, the it87_wdt watchdog resets the machine despite the watchdog daemon running and writing to /dev/watchdog. This is due to Consumer IR buffer underrun interrupts being used as triggers to reset the timer. On some buggy hardware implementations such as the iEi AFL-12A-N270 single-board computer, this method does not work. However, resetting the timer by writing its original timeout value in its configuration register over and over again suppresses the unwanted reboots. Add a module option (nocir), 0 by default in order not to break existing setups. Setting it to 1 enables the workaround. Fixes bug #42801 <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42801>. Tested primarily on Linux 3.5.7, applies cleanly on Linux 3.13.5.

* watchdog: delete mpcore_wdt driverViresh Kumar2013-07-111-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interrupt request doesn't use the right API: The TWD watchdog uses a per-cpu interrupt (usually interrupt #30), and the GIC configuration should flag it as such. With this setup, request_irq() should fail, and the right API is request_percpu_irq(), together with enable_percpu_irq()/disable_percpu_irq(). Nothing ensures the userspace ioctl() will end-up kicking the watchdog on the right CPU. There are no users of this driver since a long time and it makes more sense to get rid of it as nobody is looking to fix it. In case somebody wakes up after this has been removed and needs it, please revert this driver and pick these updates (These were never pushed to mainline): http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/245998 Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Acked-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
