bb292ac1c6 watchdog: Introduce watchdog_stop_on_unregister helper
Many watchdog drivers explicitly stop the watchdog when unregistering it.
While it is unclear if this is actually needed (the whatdog should not be
running at that time if it can be stopped), introduce a helper to
explicitly stop the watchdog in the watchdog core when unregistering it.
This helps reducing driver code size while retaining functionality.

ff84136cb6 watchdog: add watchdog pretimeout governor framework
The change adds a simple watchdog pretimeout framework infrastructure,
its purpose is to allow users to select a desired handling of watchdog
pretimeout events, which may be generated by some watchdog devices.

A user selects a default watchdog pretimeout governor during
compilation stage.

Watchdogs with WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability now have one more device
attribute in sysfs, pretimeout_governor attribute is intended to display
the selected watchdog pretimeout governor.

The framework has no impact at runtime on watchdog devices with no
WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability set.

90b826f17a watchdog: Implement status function in watchdog core
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.

The Zodiac watchdog driver attaches additional sysfs attributes to the

lifetime differs from the driver lifetime, and the device structure
should therefore not be accessed from drivers. Also, creating sysfs

if user space expects the attributes to exist but they don't exist yet.

core to solve the problems.

b4ffb19098 watchdog: Separate and maintain variables based on variable lifetime
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.

e131319669 watchdog: core: add reboot notifier support
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.

0bcd0b6a47 watchdog: it87_wdt: Work around non-working CIR interrupts
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.

c33a15974c watchdog: Add tegra watchdog
Add a driver for the hardware watchdogs in NVIDIA Tegra SoCs (Tegra30 and
later).  This driver will configure one watchdog timer that will reset the
system in the case of a watchdog timeout.

This driver binds to the nvidia,tegra30-timer device node and gets its
register base from there.

6e63a3a294 watchdog: delete mpcore_wdt driver
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):

Add support for watchdog drivers to initialize/set the timeout field
of the watchdog_device structure. The timeout field is initialised
either with the module timeout parameter value (if valid) or with the
timeout-sec dt property (if valid). If both are invalid the initial
value is unchanged.

e907df3272 watchdog: Add support for dynamically allocated watchdog_device structs
If a driver's watchdog_device struct is part of a dynamically allocated
struct (which it often will be), merely locking the module is not enough,
even with a drivers module locked, the driver can be unbound from the device,
examples:
1) The root user can unbind it through sysfd
2) The i2c bus master driver being unloaded for an i2c watchdog

I will gladly admit that these are corner cases, but we still need to handle
them correctly.

The fix for this consists of 2 parts:
1) Add ref / unref operations, so that the driver can refcount the struct
   holding the watchdog_device struct and delay freeing it until any
   open filehandles referring to it are closed
2) Most driver operations will do IO on the device and the driver should not
   do any IO on the device after it has been unbound. Rather then letting each
   driver deal with this internally, it is better to ensure at the watchdog
   core level that no operations (other then unref) will get called after
   the driver has called watchdog_unregister_device(). This actually is the
   bulk of this patch.

f4e9c82f64 watchdog: Add Locking support
This patch fixes some potential multithreading issues, despite only
allowing one process to open the /dev/watchdog device, we can still get
called multiple times at the same time, since a program could be using thread,
or could share the fd after a fork.

This causes 2 potential problems:
1) watchdog_start / open do an unlocked test_n_set / test_n_clear,
   if these 2 race, the watchdog could be stopped while the active
   bit indicates it is running or visa versa.

2) Most watchdog_dev drivers probably assume that only one
   watchdog-op will get called at a time, this is not necessary
   true atm.
