2016-10-08watchdog: pretimeout: add pretimeout_available_governors attributeVladimir Zapolskiy
The change adds an option to a user with CONFIG_WATCHDOG_SYSFS and CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV enabled to get information about all registered watchdog pretimeout governors by reading watchdog device attribute named "pretimeout_available_governors".

2016-10-08watchdog: pretimeout: add option to select a pretimeout governor in runtimeVladimir Zapolskiy
The change converts watchdog device attribute "pretimeout_governor" from read-only to read-write type to allow users to select a desirable watchdog pretimeout governor in runtime, e.g. % echo -n panic > /sys/..../watchdog/watchdog0/pretimeout To get this working a list of registered pretimeout governors is created and a new helper function watchdog_pretimeout_governor_set() is exported to watchdog_dev.c. If a selected governor is gone, a watchdog device pretimeout notification is delegated to a default built-in pretimeout governor.

2016-10-08watchdog: pretimeout: add panic pretimeout governorVladimir Zapolskiy
The change adds panic watchdog pretimeout governor, on watchdog pretimeout event the kernel shall panic. In general watchdog pretimeout event means that something essentially bad is going on the system, for example a process scheduler stalls or watchdog feeder is killed due to OOM, so printing out information attendant to panic and before likely unavoidable reboot caused by a watchdog may help to determine a root cause of the issue.

2016-10-08watchdog: add watchdog pretimeout governor frameworkVladimir Zapolskiy
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.
