Subject[PATCH 1/3] watchdog: fix print-once on enable
Date
From: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com>

This patch avoids printing the message 'enabled on all CPUs, ...'
multiple times. For example, the issue can occur in the following
scenario:

1) watchdog_nmi_enable() fails to enable PMU counters and sets
cpu0_err.

2) 'echo [0|1] > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog' is executed to
disable and re-enable the watchdog mechanism 'on the fly'.

3) If watchdog_nmi_enable() succeeds to enable PMU counters, each
CPU will print the message because step1 left behind a non-zero
cpu0_err.

if (!IS_ERR(event)) {
if (cpu == 0 || cpu0_err)
pr_info("enabled on all CPUs, ...")

The patch avoids this by clearing cpu0_err in watchdog_nmi_disable().
