Subject[RFC PATCH 22/23] watchdog/hardlockup/hpet: Only enable the HPET watchdog via a boot parameter
Date
Keep the HPET-based hardlockup detector disabled unless explicitly enabled
via a command line argument. If such parameter is not given, the hardlockup
detector will fallback to use the perf-based implementation.

The function hardlockup_panic_setup() is updated to return 0 in order to
to allow __setup functions of specific hardlockup detectors (in this case
hardlockup_detector_hpet_setup()) to inspect the nmi_watchdog boot
parameter.

checkpatch gives the following warning:

CHECK: __setup appears un-documented -- check Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
+__setup("nmi_watchdog=", hardlockup_detector_hpet_setup);

This is a false-positive as the option nmi_watchdog is already
documented. The option is re-evaluated in this file as well.

please see 'nowatchdog'.
This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
need the box quickly up again.
+ When hpet is specified, the NMI watchdog will be driven
+ by an HPET timer, if available in the system. Otherwise,
+ the perf-based implementation will be used.

These settings can be accessed at runtime via
the nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic sysctls.
