2020-08-05watchdog: add support for adjusting last known HW keepalive timeTero Kristo
Certain watchdogs require the watchdog only to be pinged within a specific time window, pinging too early or too late cause the watchdog to fire. In cases where this sort of watchdog has been started before kernel comes up, we must adjust the watchdog keepalive window to match the actually running timer, so add a new driver API for this purpose.

2020-08-05docs: watchdog: codify ident.options as superset of possible status flagsAhmad Fatoum
The FIXME comment has been in-tree since the very first git commit. The described behavior has been since relied on by some userspace, e.g. the util-linux wdctl command and has been ignored by some kernelspace, like the f71808e_wdt driver. The functionality is useful to have to be able to differentiate between a driver that doesn't support WDIOF_CARDRESET and one that does, but hasn't had a watchdog reset, thus drop the FIXME to encourage drivers adopting this convention.

2019-07-15docs: add some directories to the main documentation indexMauro Carvalho Chehab
The contents of those directories were orphaned at the documentation body. While those directories could likely be moved to be inside some guide, I'm opting to just adding their indexes to the main one, removing the :orphan: and adding the SPDX header. For the drivers, the rationale is that the documentation contains a mix of Kernelspace, uAPI and admin-guide. So, better to keep them on separate directories, as we've be doing with similar subsystem-specific docs that were not split yet. For the others, well... I'm too lazy to do the move. Also, it seems to make sense to keep at least some of those at the main dir (like kbuild, for example). In any case, a latter patch could do the move.

2019-07-08watchdog: introduce CONFIG_WATCHDOG_OPEN_TIMEOUTRasmus Villemoes
This allows setting a default value for the watchdog.open_timeout commandline parameter via Kconfig. Some BSPs allow remote updating of the kernel image and root file system, but updating the bootloader requires physical access. Hence, if one has a firmware update that requires relaxing the watchdog.open_timeout a little, the value used must be baked into the kernel image itself and cannot come from the u-boot environment via the kernel command line. Being able to set the initial value in .config doesn't change the fact that the value on the command line, if present, takes precedence, and is of course immensely useful for development purposes while one has console acccess, as well as usable in the cases where one can make a permanent update of the kernel command line.

2019-07-08watchdog: introduce watchdog.open_timeout commandline parameterRasmus Villemoes
The watchdog framework takes care of feeding a hardware watchdog until userspace opens /dev/watchdogN. If that never happens for some reason (buggy init script, corrupt root filesystem or whatnot) but the kernel itself is fine, the machine stays up indefinitely. This patch allows setting an upper limit for how long the kernel will take care of the watchdog, thus ensuring that the watchdog will eventually reset the machine. A value of 0 (the default) means infinite timeout, preserving the current behaviour. This is particularly useful for embedded devices where some fallback logic is implemented in the bootloader (e.g., use a different root partition, boot from network, ...). There is already handle_boot_enabled serving a similar purpose. However, such a binary choice is unsuitable if the hardware watchdog cannot be programmed by the bootloader to provide a timeout long enough for userspace to get up and running. Many of the embedded devices we see use external (gpio-triggered) watchdogs with a fixed timeout of the order of 1-2 seconds. The open timeout only applies for the first open from userspace. Should userspace need to close the watchdog device, with the intention of re-opening it shortly, the application can emulate the open timeout feature by combining the nowayout feature with an appropriate WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT immediately prior to closing the device.

2017-05-19iTCO_wdt: all versions count down twicePaolo Bonzini
The ICH9 is listed as having TCO v2, and indeed the behavior in the datasheet corresponds to v2 (for example the NO_REBOOT flag is accessible via the 16KiB-aligned Root Complex Base Address). However, the TCO counts twice just like in v1; the documentation of the SECOND_TO_STS bit says: "ICH9 sets this bit to 1 to indicate that the TIMEOUT bit had been (or is currently) set and a second timeout occurred before the TCO_RLD register was written. If this bit is set and the NO_REBOOT config bit is 0, then the ICH9 will reboot the system after the second timeout. The same can be found in the BayTrail (Atom E3800) datasheet, and even HOWTOs around the Internet say that it will reboot after _twice_ the specified heartbeat. I did not find the Apollo Lake datasheet, but because v4/v5 has a SECOND_TO_STS bit just like the previous version I'm enabling this for Apollo Lake as well.

The change adds a simple watchdog pretimeout framework infrastructure, its purpose is to allow users to select a desired handling of watchdog pretimeout events, which may be generated by some watchdog devices. A user selects a default watchdog pretimeout governor during compilation stage. Watchdogs with WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability now have one more device attribute in sysfs, pretimeout_governor attribute is intended to display the selected watchdog pretimeout governor. The framework has no impact at runtime on watchdog devices with no WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability set.

Up to now, the watchdog status function called a driver function, which was supposed to return the watchdog status. All but one driver using the watchdog core did not implement this function, and the driver implementing it did not implement it correctly (the function is supposed to return WDIOF_ flags). At the same time, at least some of the status information can be provided by the watchdog core. Provide the available status bits directly from the watchdog driver core. Call the driver status function if it exists to get the boot status, but always provide WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE and WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING internally. This patch makes the 'status' sysfs attribute always available. This attribute is now displayed as hex number with 0x prepended to be easier to decode.

2016-07-17Documentation/watchdog: add support for magic close to watchdog-testTimur Tabi
Some drivers have the WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE set, which means that applications need to write 'V' to the watchdog device before closing, otherwise the driver won't stop the watchdog timer.

2016-07-17Documentation/watchdog: use stdout instead of stderr in watchdog-testTimur Tabi
The watchdog-test utility outputs all messages to stderr, even those that are not error messages. Output to stdout instead. Instead of flushing the output after every write, just disabled the output buffer. Also display a dot for every ping of the watchdog, so that the user knows that it's working.
