Subject: [GIT PULL] Unified lockup detector
Linus,
Please pull the lockup-detector-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git lockup-detector-for-linus
This tree unifies the various lockup detection facilities
(kernel/softlockup.c for hung tasks and hung kernels, and
arch/x86/../nmi_watchdog.c for hard lockups) into a single
entity: kernel/watchdog.c.
There's a single .config variable controlling this
functionality:
Detect Hard and Soft Lockups (LOCKUP_DETECTOR) [N/y/?] (NEW)
Defaulting to off.
We thought to keep it simple to users - under X there's
little sign to the user whether a particular lockup is a
hard or soft one.
The lockup detector uses NMI perf events to detect hard
lockups, and is thus both more compatible with perf events
(they were exclusive to each other before these changes),
and also more portable to other architectures.
Thanks,
Ingo
------------------>
Don Zickus (19):
x86: Move notify_die from nmi.c to traps.c
nmi_watchdog: Add new, generic implementation, using perf events
nmi_watchdog: Config option to enable new nmi_watchdog
nmi_watchdog: Use a boolean config flag for compiling
nmi_watchdog: Compile and portability fixes
nmi_watchdog: Fallback to software events when no hardware pmu detected
nmi_watchdog: support for oprofile
nmi_watchdog: Properly configure for software events
nmi_watchdog: Fix undefined 'apic' build bug
nmi_watchdog: Clean up various small details
lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector
lockup_detector: Touch_softlockup cleanups and softlockup_tick removal
lockup_detector: Remove old softlockup code
lockup_detector: Remove nmi_watchdog.c file
x86: Move trigger_all_cpu_backtrace to its own die_notifier
x86: Cleanup hw_nmi.c cruft
lockup_detector: Separate touch_nmi_watchdog code path from touch_watchdog
lockup_detector: Cross arch compile fixes
lockup_detector: Convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var for readability
Frederic Weisbecker (6):
lockup_detector: Make BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC depend on LOCKUP_DETECTOR
lockup_detector: Fix forgotten config conversion
lockup_detector: Update some config
lockup_detector: Adapt CONFIG_PERF_EVENT_NMI to other archs
lockup_detector: Introduce CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
lockup_detector: Don't enable the lockup detector by default
Ingo Molnar (4):
nmi_watchdog: Only enable on x86 for now
nmi_watchdog: Turn it off by default
watchdog: Export touch_softlockup_watchdog
x86, watchdog: Fix build error in hw_nmi.c
Peter Zijlstra (1):
nmi_watchdog: Tell the world we're active
