* Documentation: fix two typos in watchdog-api.txtSangjung Woo2014-08-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This patch changes 'go of' to 'go off' and 'pretimout' to 'pretimeout'. Signed-off-by: Sangjung Woo <sangjung.woo@samsung.com> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
* [WATCHDOG] doc: Fix use of WDIOC_SETOPTIONS ioctl.James Hogan2010-04-061-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In the watchdog-test program and watchdog-api.txt, pass the values to the WDIOC_SETOPTIONS ioctl as a pointer to an integer containing the values intead of directly in the third ioctl argument. The actual watchdog drivers in drivers/watchdog don't read the options directly from the argument but use get_user and copy_from_user.

* [WATCHDOG] clean-up watchdog documentationAlan Cox2007-05-241-223/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Random sampling of some URLs in the Documentation tree to see how many were stale found that one watchdog driver was now a porn site. In fact if the watchdogs document directory was any older it would be written in latin Clean it up somewhat and add Last reviewed headers, something all the Documentation could do with IMHO.

* Fix "can not" in Documentation and KconfigMatt LaPlante2006-10-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot understand why this rule exists. This patch fixes "can not" in several Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

* [WATCHDOG] Documentation/watchdog updateRandy Dunlap2006-06-281-16/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Documentation/watchdog/: Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files. This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and to janitors who would update them if they were more visible. Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if they should be removed.

* [WATCHDOG] add WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT ioctlWim Van Sebroeck2006-06-201-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some watchdog drivers have the ability to report the remaining time before the system will reboot. With the WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT ioctl you can now read the time left before the watchdog would reboot your system. The following drivers support this new IOCTL: i8xx_tco.c, pcwd_pci.c and pcwd_usb.c .

* [WATCHDOG] Pre-Timeout flagsCorey Minyard2006-06-201-1/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some watchdog timers support the concept of a "pretimeout" which occurs some time before the real timeout. The pretimeout can be delivered via an interrupt or NMI and can be used to panic the system when it occurs (so you get useful information instead of a blind reboot).

* [PATCH] ppc32: Added support for the Book-E style Watchdog TimerKumar Gala2005-09-051-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies that can be configured by software. One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may attempt to reset the machine. Command line parameters: wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default) wdt=1 : enable watchdog wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period. The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check User Manual for the processor for more details. This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
