# # Watchdog device configuration # menuconfig WATCHDOG bool "Watchdog Timer Support" ---help--- If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.: subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside your computer. For details, read <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt> in the kernel source. The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon which is available from <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process table is full. If unsure, say N. if WATCHDOG config WATCHDOG_CORE bool "WatchDog Timer Driver Core" ---help--- Say Y here if you want to use the new watchdog timer driver core. This driver provides a framework for all watchdog timer drivers and gives them the /dev/watchdog interface (and later also the sysfs interface). config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT bool "Disable watchdog shutdown on close" help The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once it has been started. config WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED bool "Update boot-enabled watchdog until userspace takes over" default y help The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say Y here) is to ping watchdog devices that were enabled before the driver has been loaded until control is taken over from userspace using the /dev/watchdog file. If you say N here, the kernel will not update the watchdog on its own. Thus if your userspace does not start fast enough your device will reboot. config WATCHDOG_SYSFS bool "Read different watchdog information through sysfs" default n help Say Y here if you want to enable watchdog device status read through sysfs attributes. # # General Watchdog drivers # comment "Watchdog Device Drivers" # Architecture Independent config SOFT_WATCHDOG tristate "Software watchdog" select WATCHDOG_CORE help A software monitoring watchdog. This will fail to reboot your system from some situations that the hardware watchdog will recover from. Equally it's a lot cheaper to install. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called softdog. config DA9052_WATCHDOG tristate "Dialog DA9052 Watchdog" depends on PMIC_DA9052 select WATCHDOG_CORE help Support for the watchdog in the DA9052 PMIC.

Say Y here if you wish to use this. Alternatively say M to compile the driver as a module, which will be called wdt285. This driver does not work on all machines. In particular, early CATS boards have hardware problems that will cause the machine to simply lock up if the watchdog fires. "If in doubt, leave it out" - say N. config 977_WATCHDOG tristate "NetWinder WB83C977 watchdog" depends on FOOTBRIDGE && ARCH_NETWINDER help Say Y here to include support for the WB977 watchdog included in NetWinder machines.

This driver can be built as a module by choosing M. The module will be called iop_wdt. Note: The IOP13XX watchdog does an Internal Bus Reset which will affect both cores and the peripherals of the IOP. The ATU-X and/or ATUe configuration registers will remain intact, but if operating as an Root Complex and/or Central Resource, the PCI-X and/or PCIe busses will also be reset. THIS IS A VERY BIG HAMMER. config DAVINCI_WATCHDOG tristate "DaVinci watchdog" depends on ARCH_DAVINCI help Say Y here if to include support for the watchdog timer in the DaVinci DM644x/DM646x processors.

The only way to be sure that this driver does what you want is to make sure you are running it on an EPX-C3 from Winsystems with the watchdog timer at IO address 0x1ee and 0x1ef. It will write to both those IO ports. Basically, the assumption is made that if you compile this driver into your kernel and/or load it as a module, that you know what you are doing and that you are in fact running on an EPX-C3 board! To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called sbc_epx_c3. config INTEL_MEI_WDT tristate "Intel MEI iAMT Watchdog" depends on INTEL_MEI && X86 select WATCHDOG_CORE ---help--- A device driver for the Intel MEI iAMT watchdog.

Enables the watchdog for all cores running Linux. It installs a NMI handler and pokes the watchdog based on an interrupt. On first expiration of the watchdog, the interrupt handler pokes it. The second expiration causes an NMI that prints a message. The third expiration causes a global soft reset. When userspace has /dev/watchdog open, no poking is done from the first interrupt, it is then only poked when the device is written. config BCM63XX_WDT tristate "Broadcom BCM63xx hardware watchdog" depends on BCM63XX help Watchdog driver for the built in watchdog hardware in Broadcom BCM63xx SoC.

A watchdog "event" occurs when the bit position represented by this number transitions from zero to one. For Freescale Book-E processors, this is a number between 0 and 63. For other Book-E processors, this is a number between 0 and 3. The value can be overridden by the wdt_period command-line parameter. # PPC64 Architecture config WATCHDOG_RTAS tristate "RTAS watchdog" depends on PPC_RTAS help This driver adds watchdog support for the RTAS watchdog.

LPAR provides a very similar interface. This driver handles both. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called vmwatchdog. # SUPERH (sh + sh64) Architecture config SH_WDT tristate "SuperH Watchdog" depends on SUPERH && (CPU_SH3 || CPU_SH4) select WATCHDOG_CORE help This driver adds watchdog support for the integrated watchdog in the SuperH processors. If you have one of these processors and wish to have watchdog support enabled, say Y, otherwise say N. As a side note, saying Y here will automatically boost HZ to 1000 so that the timer has a chance to clear the overflow counter. On slower systems (such as the SH-2 and SH-3) this will likely yield some performance issues. As such, the WDT should be avoided here unless it is absolutely necessary.

If you have a PCI-WDT501 watchdog board then you can enable the temperature sensor by setting the type parameter to 501. If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the PCI-WDT501, then you can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a fan tachometer actually set up.
