Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v2 11/14] x86/watchdog/hardlockup: Add an HPET-based
hardlockup detector
Hi Neri,
While trying out this patch series, I found that it does not work when the HPET timer
is in periodic mode.

It turns out that the set_comparator() does not seem to support periodic mode,
in which it should have been setting the accumulator/period via the comparator register.
Instead, what if we re-factor the code in the arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:hpet_set_periodic()
to hpet_set_comparator(). Then we can also reuse it in the arch/x86/kernel/watchdog_hld_pet.c:
kick_timer() as shown below.
With these changes, I can test the series on AMD systems, and see all cores
in /proc/interrupts are receiving NMI interrupts.
Regards,
Suravee
