* watchdogd(8) and watchdog(4) enhancements.alfred2013-02-271-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following support was added to watchdog(4): - Support to query the outstanding timeout. - Support to set a software pre-timeout function watchdog with an 'action' - Support to set a software only watchdog with a configurable 'action' 'action' can be a mask specifying a single operation or a combination of: log(9), printf(9), panic(9) and/or kdb_enter(9). Support the following in watchdogged: - Support to utilize the new additions to watchdog(4). - Support to warn if a watchdog script runs for too long. - Support for "dry run" where we do not actually arm the watchdog, but only report on our timing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the watchdog, via the watchdog(9) interface. For that, the WD_LASTVAL bitwise operation is used. It is mutually exclusive with any explicit timout passing to the watchdogs. The last timeout can be returned via the wdog_kern_last_timeout() KPI. - Add the possibility to pat the watchdogs installed via the watchdog(9) interface from the kernel. In order to do that the new KPI wdog_kern_pat() is offered and it does accept normalized nanoseconds or WD_LASTVAL. - Avoid to pass WD_ACTIVE down in the watchdog handlers. All the control bit processing should over to the upper layer functions and not passed down to the handlers at all. These changes are intended to be used in order to fix up the watchdog tripping in situation when the userland is busted, but protection is still wanted (examples: shutdown syncing / disk dumping).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | behave as expected. Also: - Return an error if WD_PASSIVE is passed in to the ioctl as only WD_ACTIVE is implemented at the moment. See sys/watchdog.h for an explanation of the difference between WD_ACTIVE and WD_PASSIVE. - Remove the I_HAVE_TOTALLY_LOST_MY_SENSE_OF_HUMOR define. If you've lost your sense of humor, than don't add a define. Specific changes: i80321_wdog.c Don't roll your own passive watchdog tickle as this would defeat the purpose of an active (userland) watchdog tickle. ichwd.c / ipmi.c: WD_ACTIVE means active patting of the watchdog by a userland process, not whether the watchdog is active. See sys/watchdog.h. kern_clock.c: (software watchdog) Remove a check for WD_ACTIVE as this does not make sense here. This reverts r1.181.
