Subject: [PATCH v7 23/24] watchdog: Introduce hardlockup_detector_mark_unavailable()
Date:   Wed,  1 Mar 2023 15:47:52 -0800
Message-Id: <20230301234753.28582-24-ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <20230301234753.28582-1-ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>
References: <20230301234753.28582-1-ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>
Precedence: bulk

The NMI watchdog may become unreliable during runtime. This is the case
in x86 if, for instance, the HPET-based hardlockup detector is in use and
the TSC counter becomes unstable.

Introduce a new interface to mark the hardlockup detector as unavailable
in such cases. When doing this, update the state of /proc/sys/kernel/
nmi_watchdog to keep it consistent.
