Subject: [PATCH 0/2] touch_nmi_watchdog semantic changes

I was trying to change the semantics of how touch_nmi_watchdog worked
to cover a corner case where endless console writing would block the
watchdog from going off.

Ingo recommended that I add ratelimiting to the panic code to in case we
get a slew of locked up cpus, hence my first patch in the series.

Cheers,
Don

Don Zickus (2):
  panic:  ratelimit panic messages
  watchdog:  touch_nmi_watchdog should only touch local cpu not every
    one
