+Converting old watchdog drivers to the watchdog framework
+by Wolfram Sang <w.sang@pengutronix.de>
+=========================================================
+
+Before the watchdog framework came into the kernel, every driver had to
+implement the API on its own. Now, as the framework factored out the common
+components, those drivers can be lightened making it a user of the framework.
+This document shall guide you for this task. The necessary steps are described
+as well as things to look out for.
+
+
+Remove the file_operations struct
+---------------------------------
+
+Old drivers define their own file_operations for actions like open(), write(),
+etc... These are now handled by the framework and just call the driver when
+needed. So, in general, the 'file_operations' struct and assorted functions can
+go. Only very few driver-specific details have to be moved to other functions.
+Here is a overview of the functions and probably needed actions:
+
+- open: Everything dealing with resource management (file-open checks, magic
+ close preparations) can simply go. Device specific stuff needs to go to the
+ driver specific start-function. Note that for some drivers, the start-function
+ also serves as the ping-function. If that is the case and you need start/stop
+ to be balanced (clocks!), you are better off refactoring a separate start-function.
+
+- close: Same hints as for open apply.
+
+- write: Can simply go, all defined behaviour is taken care of by the framework,
+ i.e. ping on write and magic char ('V') handling.
+
+- ioctl: While the driver is allowed to have extensions to the IOCTL interface,
+ the most common ones are handled by the framework, supported by some assistance
+ from the driver:
+
+ WDIOC_GETSUPPORT:
+ Returns the mandatory watchdog_info struct from the driver
+
+ WDIOC_GETSTATUS:
+ Needs the status-callback defined, otherwise returns 0
+
+ WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:
+ Needs the bootstatus member properly set. Make sure it is 0 if you
+ don't have further support!
+
+ WDIOC_SETOPTIONS:
+ No preparations needed
+
+ WDIOC_KEEPALIVE:
+ If wanted, options in watchdog_info need to have WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING
+ set
+
+ WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT:
+ Options in watchdog_info need to have WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT set
+ and a set_timeout-callback has to be defined. The core will also
+ do limit-checking, if min_timeout and max_timeout in the watchdog
+ device are set. All is optional.
+
+ WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT:
+ No preparations needed
+
+ WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT:
+ It needs get_timeleft() callback to be defined. Otherwise it
+ will return EOPNOTSUPP
+
+ Other IOCTLs can be served using the ioctl-callback. Note that this is mainly
+ intended for porting old drivers; new drivers should not invent private IOCTLs.
+ Private IOCTLs are processed first. When the callback returns with
+ -ENOIOCTLCMD, the IOCTLs of the framework will be tried, too. Any other error
+ is directly given to the user.
+
+Example conversion:
+
+-static const struct file_operations s3c2410wdt_fops = {
+- .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+- .llseek = no_llseek,
+- .write = s3c2410wdt_write,
+- .unlocked_ioctl = s3c2410wdt_ioctl,
+- .open = s3c2410wdt_open,
+- .release = s3c2410wdt_release,
+-};
+
+Check the functions for device-specific stuff and keep it for later
+refactoring. The rest can go.
+
+
+Remove the miscdevice
+---------------------
+
+Since the file_operations are gone now, you can also remove the 'struct
+miscdevice'. The framework will create it on watchdog_dev_register() called by
+watchdog_register_device().
+
+-static struct miscdevice s3c2410wdt_miscdev = {
+- .minor = WATCHDOG_MINOR,
+- .name = "watchdog",
+- .fops = &s3c2410wdt_fops,
+-};
+
+
+Remove obsolete includes and defines
+------------------------------------
+
+Because of the simplifications, a few defines are probably unused now. Remove
+them. Includes can be removed, too. For example:
+
+- #include <linux/fs.h>
+- #include <linux/miscdevice.h> (if MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV is not used)
+- #include <linux/uaccess.h> (if no custom IOCTLs are used)
+
+
+Add the watchdog operations
+---------------------------
+
+All possible callbacks are defined in 'struct watchdog_ops'. You can find it
+explained in 'watchdog-kernel-api.txt' in this directory. start(), stop() and
+owner must be set, the rest are optional. You will easily find corresponding
+functions in the old driver. Note that you will now get a pointer to the
+watchdog_device as a parameter to these functions, so you probably have to
+change the function header. Other changes are most likely not needed, because
+here simply happens the direct hardware access. If you have device-specific
+code left from the above steps, it should be refactored into these callbacks.
+
+Here is a simple example:
+
++static struct watchdog_ops s3c2410wdt_ops = {
++ .owner = THIS_MODULE,
++ .start = s3c2410wdt_start,
++ .stop = s3c2410wdt_stop,
++ .ping = s3c2410wdt_keepalive,
++ .set_timeout = s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat,
++};
+
+A typical function-header change looks like:
+
+-static void s3c2410wdt_keepalive(void)
++static int s3c2410wdt_keepalive(struct watchdog_device *wdd)
+ {
+...
++
++ return 0;
+ }
+
+...
+
+- s3c2410wdt_keepalive();
++ s3c2410wdt_keepalive(&s3c2410_wdd);
+
+
+Add the watchdog device
+-----------------------
+
+Now we need to create a 'struct watchdog_device' and populate it with the
+necessary information for the framework. The struct is also explained in detail
+in 'watchdog-kernel-api.txt' in this directory. We pass it the mandatory
+watchdog_info struct and the newly created watchdog_ops. Often, old drivers
+have their own record-keeping for things like bootstatus and timeout using
+static variables. Those have to be converted to use the members in
+watchdog_device. Note that the timeout values are unsigned int. Some drivers
+use signed int, so this has to be converted, too.
+
+Here is a simple example for a watchdog device:
+
++static struct watchdog_device s3c2410_wdd = {
++ .info = &s3c2410_wdt_ident,
++ .ops = &s3c2410wdt_ops,
++};
+
+
+Handle the 'nowayout' feature
+-----------------------------
+
+A few drivers use nowayout statically, i.e. there is no module parameter for it
+and only CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT determines if the feature is going to be
+used. This needs to be converted by initializing the status variable of the
+watchdog_device like this:
+
+ .status = WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT_INIT_STATUS,
+
+Most drivers, however, also allow runtime configuration of nowayout, usually
+by adding a module parameter. The conversion for this would be something like:
+
+ watchdog_set_nowayout(&s3c2410_wdd, nowayout);
+
+The module parameter itself needs to stay, everything else related to nowayout
+can go, though. This will likely be some code in open(), close() or write().
+
+
+Register the watchdog device
+----------------------------
+
+Replace misc_register(&miscdev) with watchdog_register_device(&watchdog_dev).
+Make sure the return value gets checked and the error message, if present,
+still fits. Also convert the unregister case.
+
+- ret = misc_register(&s3c2410wdt_miscdev);
++ ret = watchdog_register_device(&s3c2410_wdd);
+
+...
+
+- misc_deregister(&s3c2410wdt_miscdev);
++ watchdog_unregister_device(&s3c2410_wdd);
+
+
+Update the Kconfig-entry
+------------------------
+
+The entry for the driver now needs to select WATCHDOG_CORE:
+
++ select WATCHDOG_CORE
+
+
+Create a patch and send it to upstream
+--------------------------------------
+
+Make sure you understood Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst and send your patch to
+linux-watchdog@vger.kernel.org. We are looking forward to it :)

+ HPE iLO NMI Watchdog Driver
+ NMI sourcing for iLO based ProLiant Servers
+ Documentation and Driver by
+ Thomas Mingarelli
+
+ The HPE iLO NMI Watchdog driver is a kernel module that provides basic
+ watchdog functionality and the added benefit of NMI sourcing. Both the
+ watchdog functionality and the NMI sourcing capability need to be enabled
+ by the user. Remember that the two modes are not dependent on one another.
+ A user can have the NMI sourcing without the watchdog timer and vice-versa.
+ All references to iLO in this document imply it also works on iLO2 and all
+ subsequent generations.
+
+ Watchdog functionality is enabled like any other common watchdog driver. That
+ is, an application needs to be started that kicks off the watchdog timer. A
+ basic application exists in the Documentation/watchdog/src directory called
+ watchdog-test.c. Simply compile the C file and kick it off. If the system
+ gets into a bad state and hangs, the HPE ProLiant iLO timer register will
+ not be updated in a timely fashion and a hardware system reset (also known as
+ an Automatic Server Recovery (ASR)) event will occur.
+
+ The hpwdt driver also has three (3) module parameters. They are the following:
+
+ soft_margin - allows the user to set the watchdog timer value.
+ Default value is 30 seconds.
+ allow_kdump - allows the user to save off a kernel dump image after an NMI.
+ Default value is 1/ON
+ nowayout - basic watchdog parameter that does not allow the timer to
+ be restarted or an impending ASR to be escaped.
+ Default value is set when compiling the kernel. If it is set
+ to "Y", then there is no way of disabling the watchdog once
+ it has been started.
+
+ NOTE: More information about watchdog drivers in general, including the ioctl
+ interface to /dev/watchdog can be found in
+ Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt and Documentation/IPMI.txt.
+
+ The NMI sourcing capability is disabled by default due to the inability to
+ distinguish between "NMI Watchdog Ticks" and "HW generated NMI events" in the
+ Linux kernel. What this means is that the hpwdt nmi handler code is called
+ each time the NMI signal fires off. This could amount to several thousands of
+ NMIs in a matter of seconds. If a user sees the Linux kernel's "dazed and
+ confused" message in the logs or if the system gets into a hung state, then
+ the hpwdt driver can be reloaded.
+
+ 1. If the kernel has not been booted with nmi_watchdog turned off then
+ edit and place the nmi_watchdog=0 at the end of the currently booting
+ kernel line. Depending on your Linux distribution and platform setup:
+ For non-UEFI systems
+ /boot/grub/grub.conf or
+ /boot/grub/menu.lst
+ For UEFI systems
+ /boot/efi/EFI/distroname/grub.conf or
+ /boot/efi/efi/distroname/elilo.conf
+ 2. reboot the sever
+ 3. Once the system comes up perform a modprobe -r hpwdt
+ 4. modprobe /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.ko
+
+ Now, the hpwdt can successfully receive and source the NMI and provide a log
+ message that details the reason for the NMI (as determined by the HPE BIOS).
+
+ Below is a list of NMIs the HPE BIOS understands along with the associated
+ code (reason):
+
+ No source found 00h
+
+ Uncorrectable Memory Error 01h
+
+ ASR NMI 1Bh

+ Berkshire Products PC Watchdog Card
+ Support for ISA Cards Revision A and C
+ Documentation and Driver by Ken Hollis <kenji@bitgate.com>
+
+ The PC Watchdog is a card that offers the same type of functionality that
+ the WDT card does, only it doesn't require an IRQ to run. Furthermore,
+ the Revision C card allows you to monitor any IO Port to automatically
+ trigger the card into being reset. This way you can make the card
+ monitor hard drive status, or anything else you need.
+
+ The Watchdog Driver has one basic role: to talk to the card and send
+ signals to it so it doesn't reset your computer ... at least during
+ normal operation.
+
+ The Watchdog Driver will automatically find your watchdog card, and will
+ attach a running driver for use with that card. After the watchdog
+ drivers have initialized, you can then talk to the card using a PC
+ Watchdog program.
+
+ I suggest putting a "watchdog -d" before the beginning of an fsck, and
+ a "watchdog -e -t 1" immediately after the end of an fsck. (Remember
+ to run the program with an "&" to run it in the background!)
+
+ If you want to write a program to be compatible with the PC Watchdog
+ driver, simply use of modify the watchdog test program:
+ Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-test.c
+
+
+ Other IOCTL functions include:
+
+ WDIOC_GETSUPPORT
+ This returns the support of the card itself. This
+ returns in structure "PCWDS" which returns:
+ options = WDIOS_TEMPPANIC
+ (This card supports temperature)
+ firmware_version = xxxx
+ (Firmware version of the card)
+
+ WDIOC_GETSTATUS
+ This returns the status of the card, with the bits of
+ WDIOF_* bitwise-anded into the value. (The comments
+ are in linux/pcwd.h)
+
+ WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS
+ This returns the status of the card that was reported
+ at bootup.
+
+ WDIOC_GETTEMP
+ This returns the temperature of the card. (You can also
+ read /dev/watchdog, which gives a temperature update
+ every second.)
+
+ WDIOC_SETOPTIONS
+ This lets you set the options of the card. You can either
+ enable or disable the card this way.
+
+ WDIOC_KEEPALIVE
+ This pings the card to tell it not to reset your computer.
+
+ And that's all she wrote!

+The Linux Watchdog driver API.
+
+Copyright 2002 Christer Weingel <wingel@nano-system.com>
+
+Some parts of this document are copied verbatim from the sbc60xxwdt
+driver which is (c) Copyright 2000 Jakob Oestergaard <jakob@ostenfeld.dk>
+
+This document describes the state of the Linux 2.4.18 kernel.
+
+Introduction:
+
+A Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a hardware circuit that can reset the
+computer system in case of a software fault. You probably knew that
+already.
+
+Usually a userspace daemon will notify the kernel watchdog driver via the
+/dev/watchdog special device file that userspace is still alive, at
+regular intervals. When such a notification occurs, the driver will
+usually tell the hardware watchdog that everything is in order, and
+that the watchdog should wait for yet another little while to reset
+the system. If userspace fails (RAM error, kernel bug, whatever), the
+notifications cease to occur, and the hardware watchdog will reset the
+system (causing a reboot) after the timeout occurs.
+
+The Linux watchdog API is a rather ad-hoc construction and different
+drivers implement different, and sometimes incompatible, parts of it.
+This file is an attempt to document the existing usage and allow
+future driver writers to use it as a reference.
+
+The simplest API:
+
+All drivers support the basic mode of operation, where the watchdog
+activates as soon as /dev/watchdog is opened and will reboot unless
+the watchdog is pinged within a certain time, this time is called the
+timeout or margin. The simplest way to ping the watchdog is to write
+some data to the device. So a very simple watchdog daemon would look
+like this source file: see samples/watchdog/watchdog-simple.c
+
+A more advanced driver could for example check that a HTTP server is
+still responding before doing the write call to ping the watchdog.
+
+When the device is closed, the watchdog is disabled, unless the "Magic
+Close" feature is supported (see below). This is not always such a
+good idea, since if there is a bug in the watchdog daemon and it
+crashes the system will not reboot. Because of this, some of the
+drivers support the configuration option "Disable watchdog shutdown on
+close", CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT. If it is set to Y when compiling
+the kernel, there is no way of disabling the watchdog once it has been
+started. So, if the watchdog daemon crashes, the system will reboot
+after the timeout has passed. Watchdog devices also usually support
+the nowayout module parameter so that this option can be controlled at
+runtime.
+
+Magic Close feature:
+
+If a driver supports "Magic Close", the driver will not disable the
+watchdog unless a specific magic character 'V' has been sent to
+/dev/watchdog just before closing the file. If the userspace daemon
+closes the file without sending this special character, the driver
+will assume that the daemon (and userspace in general) died, and will
+stop pinging the watchdog without disabling it first. This will then
+cause a reboot if the watchdog is not re-opened in sufficient time.
+
+The ioctl API:
+
+All conforming drivers also support an ioctl API.
+
+Pinging the watchdog using an ioctl:
+
+All drivers that have an ioctl interface support at least one ioctl,
+KEEPALIVE. This ioctl does exactly the same thing as a write to the
+watchdog device, so the main loop in the above program could be
+replaced with:
+
+ while (1) {
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_KEEPALIVE, 0);
+ sleep(10);
+ }
+
+the argument to the ioctl is ignored.
+
+Setting and getting the timeout:
+
+For some drivers it is possible to modify the watchdog timeout on the
+fly with the SETTIMEOUT ioctl, those drivers have the WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT
+flag set in their option field. The argument is an integer
+representing the timeout in seconds. The driver returns the real
+timeout used in the same variable, and this timeout might differ from
+the requested one due to limitation of the hardware.
+
+ int timeout = 45;
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT, &timeout);
+ printf("The timeout was set to %d seconds\n", timeout);
+
+This example might actually print "The timeout was set to 60 seconds"
+if the device has a granularity of minutes for its timeout.
+
+Starting with the Linux 2.4.18 kernel, it is possible to query the
+current timeout using the GETTIMEOUT ioctl.
+
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT, &timeout);
+ printf("The timeout was is %d seconds\n", timeout);
+
+Pretimeouts:
+
+Some watchdog timers can be set to have a trigger go off before the
+actual time they will reset the system. This can be done with an NMI,
+interrupt, or other mechanism. This allows Linux to record useful
+information (like panic information and kernel coredumps) before it
+resets.
+
+ pretimeout = 10;
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETPRETIMEOUT, &pretimeout);
+
+Note that the pretimeout is the number of seconds before the time
+when the timeout will go off. It is not the number of seconds until
+the pretimeout. So, for instance, if you set the timeout to 60 seconds
+and the pretimeout to 10 seconds, the pretimeout will go off in 50
+seconds. Setting a pretimeout to zero disables it.
+
+There is also a get function for getting the pretimeout:
+
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETPRETIMEOUT, &timeout);
+ printf("The pretimeout was is %d seconds\n", timeout);
+
+Not all watchdog drivers will support a pretimeout.
+
+Get the number of seconds before reboot:
+
+Some watchdog drivers have the ability to report the remaining time
+before the system will reboot. The WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT is the ioctl
+that returns the number of seconds before reboot.
+
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT, &timeleft);
+ printf("The timeout was is %d seconds\n", timeleft);
+
+Environmental monitoring:
+
+All watchdog drivers are required return more information about the system,
+some do temperature, fan and power level monitoring, some can tell you
+the reason for the last reboot of the system. The GETSUPPORT ioctl is
+available to ask what the device can do:
+
+ struct watchdog_info ident;
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETSUPPORT, &ident);
+
+the fields returned in the ident struct are:
+
+ identity a string identifying the watchdog driver
+ firmware_version the firmware version of the card if available
+ options a flags describing what the device supports
+
+the options field can have the following bits set, and describes what
+kind of information that the GET_STATUS and GET_BOOT_STATUS ioctls can
+return. [FIXME -- Is this correct?]
+
+ WDIOF_OVERHEAT Reset due to CPU overheat
+
+The machine was last rebooted by the watchdog because the thermal limit was
+exceeded
+
+ WDIOF_FANFAULT Fan failed
+
+A system fan monitored by the watchdog card has failed
+
+ WDIOF_EXTERN1 External relay 1
+
+External monitoring relay/source 1 was triggered. Controllers intended for
+real world applications include external monitoring pins that will trigger
+a reset.
+
+ WDIOF_EXTERN2 External relay 2
+
+External monitoring relay/source 2 was triggered
+
+ WDIOF_POWERUNDER Power bad/power fault
+
+The machine is showing an undervoltage status
+
+ WDIOF_CARDRESET Card previously reset the CPU
+
+The last reboot was caused by the watchdog card
+
+ WDIOF_POWEROVER Power over voltage
+
+The machine is showing an overvoltage status. Note that if one level is
+under and one over both bits will be set - this may seem odd but makes
+sense.
+
+ WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING Keep alive ping reply
+
+The watchdog saw a keepalive ping since it was last queried.
+
+ WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT Can set/get the timeout
+
+The watchdog can do pretimeouts.
+
+ WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT Pretimeout (in seconds), get/set
+
+
+For those drivers that return any bits set in the option field, the
+GETSTATUS and GETBOOTSTATUS ioctls can be used to ask for the current
+status, and the status at the last reboot, respectively.
+
+ int flags;
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETSTATUS, &flags);
+
+ or
+
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS, &flags);
+
+Note that not all devices support these two calls, and some only
+support the GETBOOTSTATUS call.
+
+Some drivers can measure the temperature using the GETTEMP ioctl. The
+returned value is the temperature in degrees fahrenheit.
+
+ int temperature;
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETTEMP, &temperature);
+
+Finally the SETOPTIONS ioctl can be used to control some aspects of
+the cards operation.
+
+ int options = 0;
+ ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, &options);
+
+The following options are available:
+
+ WDIOS_DISABLECARD Turn off the watchdog timer
+ WDIOS_ENABLECARD Turn on the watchdog timer
+ WDIOS_TEMPPANIC Kernel panic on temperature trip
+
+[FIXME -- better explanations]

+The Linux WatchDog Timer Driver Core kernel API.
+===============================================
+Last reviewed: 12-Feb-2013

+
+Introduction
+------------
+This document does not describe what a WatchDog Timer (WDT) Driver or Device is.
+It also does not describe the API which can be used by user space to communicate
+with a WatchDog Timer. If you want to know this then please read the following
+file: Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt .
+
+So what does this document describe? It describes the API that can be used by
+WatchDog Timer Drivers that want to use the WatchDog Timer Driver Core
+Framework. This framework provides all interfacing towards user space so that
+the same code does not have to be reproduced each time. This also means that
+a watchdog timer driver then only needs to provide the different routines
+(operations) that control the watchdog timer (WDT).
+
+The API
+-------
+Each watchdog timer driver that wants to use the WatchDog Timer Driver Core
+must #include <linux/watchdog.h> (you would have to do this anyway when
+writing a watchdog device driver). This include file contains following
+register/unregister routines:
+
+extern int watchdog_register_device(struct watchdog_device *);
+extern void watchdog_unregister_device(struct watchdog_device *);
+
+The watchdog_register_device routine registers a watchdog timer device.
+The parameter of this routine is a pointer to a watchdog_device structure.
+This routine returns zero on success and a negative errno code for failure.
+
+The watchdog_unregister_device routine deregisters a registered watchdog timer
+device. The parameter of this routine is the pointer to the registered
+watchdog_device structure.
+
+The watchdog subsystem includes an registration deferral mechanism,
+which allows you to register an watchdog as early as you wish during
+the boot process.
+
+The watchdog device structure looks like this:
+
+struct watchdog_device {
+ int id;

+It contains following fields:
+* id: set by watchdog_register_device, id 0 is special. It has both a
+ /dev/watchdog0 cdev (dynamic major, minor 0) as well as the old
+ /dev/watchdog miscdev. The id is set automatically when calling
+ watchdog_register_device.
+* parent: set this to the parent device (or NULL) before calling
+ watchdog_register_device.
+* groups: List of sysfs attribute groups to create when creating the watchdog
+ device.
+* info: a pointer to a watchdog_info structure. This structure gives some
+ additional information about the watchdog timer itself. (Like it's unique name)
+* ops: a pointer to the list of watchdog operations that the watchdog supports.
+* gov: a pointer to the assigned watchdog device pretimeout governor or NULL.
+* timeout: the watchdog timer's timeout value (in seconds).
+ This is the time after which the system will reboot if user space does
+ not send a heartbeat request if WDOG_ACTIVE is set.
+* pretimeout: the watchdog timer's pretimeout value (in seconds).
+* min_timeout: the watchdog timer's minimum timeout value (in seconds).
+ If set, the minimum configurable value for 'timeout'.
+* max_timeout: the watchdog timer's maximum timeout value (in seconds),
+ as seen from userspace. If set, the maximum configurable value for
+ 'timeout'. Not used if max_hw_heartbeat_ms is non-zero.
+* min_hw_heartbeat_ms: Hardware limit for minimum time between heartbeats,
+ in milli-seconds. This value is normally 0; it should only be provided
+ if the hardware can not tolerate lower intervals between heartbeats.
+* max_hw_heartbeat_ms: Maximum hardware heartbeat, in milli-seconds.
+ If set, the infrastructure will send heartbeats to the watchdog driver
+ if 'timeout' is larger than max_hw_heartbeat_ms, unless WDOG_ACTIVE
+ is set and userspace failed to send a heartbeat for at least 'timeout'
+ seconds. max_hw_heartbeat_ms must be set if a driver does not implement
+ the stop function.
+* reboot_nb: notifier block that is registered for reboot notifications, for
+ internal use only. If the driver calls watchdog_stop_on_reboot, watchdog core
+ will stop the watchdog on such notifications.
+* restart_nb: notifier block that is registered for machine restart, for
+ internal use only. If a watchdog is capable of restarting the machine, it
+ should define ops->restart. Priority can be changed through
+ watchdog_set_restart_priority.
+* bootstatus: status of the device after booting (reported with watchdog
+ WDIOF_* status bits).
+* driver_data: a pointer to the drivers private data of a watchdog device.
+ This data should only be accessed via the watchdog_set_drvdata and
+ watchdog_get_drvdata routines.
+* wd_data: a pointer to watchdog core internal data.
+* status: this field contains a number of status bits that give extra
+ information about the status of the device (Like: is the watchdog timer
+ running/active, or is the nowayout bit set).
+* deferred: entry in wtd_deferred_reg_list which is used to
+ register early initialized watchdogs.
+
+The list of watchdog operations is defined as:
+
+struct watchdog_ops {
+ struct module *owner;
+ /* mandatory operations */
+ int (*start)(struct watchdog_device *);
+ int (*stop)(struct watchdog_device *);
+ /* optional operations */
+ int (*ping)(struct watchdog_device *);
+ unsigned int (*status)(struct watchdog_device *);
+ int (*set_timeout)(struct watchdog_device *, unsigned int);
+ int (*set_pretimeout)(struct watchdog_device *, unsigned int);
+ unsigned int (*get_timeleft)(struct watchdog_device *);
+ int (*restart)(struct watchdog_device *);
+ void (*ref)(struct watchdog_device *) __deprecated;
+ void (*unref)(struct watchdog_device *) __deprecated;
+ long (*ioctl)(struct watchdog_device *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
+};
+
+It is important that you first define the module owner of the watchdog timer
+driver's operations. This module owner will be used to lock the module when
+the watchdog is active. (This to avoid a system crash when you unload the
+module and /dev/watchdog is still open).
+
+Some operations are mandatory and some are optional. The mandatory operations
+are:
+* start: this is a pointer to the routine that starts the watchdog timer
+ device.
+ The routine needs a pointer to the watchdog timer device structure as a
+ parameter. It returns zero on success or a negative errno code for failure.
+
+Not all watchdog timer hardware supports the same functionality. That's why
+all other routines/operations are optional. They only need to be provided if
+they are supported. These optional routines/operations are:
+* stop: with this routine the watchdog timer device is being stopped.
+ The routine needs a pointer to the watchdog timer device structure as a
+ parameter. It returns zero on success or a negative errno code for failure.
+ Some watchdog timer hardware can only be started and not be stopped. A
+ driver supporting such hardware does not have to implement the stop routine.
+ If a driver has no stop function, the watchdog core will set WDOG_HW_RUNNING
+ and start calling the driver's keepalive pings function after the watchdog
+ device is closed.
+ If a watchdog driver does not implement the stop function, it must set
+ max_hw_heartbeat_ms.
+* ping: this is the routine that sends a keepalive ping to the watchdog timer
+ hardware.
+ The routine needs a pointer to the watchdog timer device structure as a
+ parameter. It returns zero on success or a negative errno code for failure.
+ Most hardware that does not support this as a separate function uses the
+ start function to restart the watchdog timer hardware. And that's also what
+ the watchdog timer driver core does: to send a keepalive ping to the watchdog
+ timer hardware it will either use the ping operation (when available) or the
+ start operation (when the ping operation is not available).
+ (Note: the WDIOC_KEEPALIVE ioctl call will only be active when the
+ WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING bit has been set in the option field on the watchdog's
+ info structure).
+* status: this routine checks the status of the watchdog timer device. The
+ status of the device is reported with watchdog WDIOF_* status flags/bits.
+ WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE and WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING are reported by the watchdog core;
+ it is not necessary to report those bits from the driver. Also, if no status
+ function is provided by the driver, the watchdog core reports the status bits
+ provided in the bootstatus variable of struct watchdog_device.
+* set_timeout: this routine checks and changes the timeout of the watchdog
+ timer device. It returns 0 on success, -EINVAL for "parameter out of range"
+ and -EIO for "could not write value to the watchdog". On success this
+ routine should set the timeout value of the watchdog_device to the
+ achieved timeout value (which may be different from the requested one
+ because the watchdog does not necessarily have a 1 second resolution).
+ Drivers implementing max_hw_heartbeat_ms set the hardware watchdog heartbeat
+ to the minimum of timeout and max_hw_heartbeat_ms. Those drivers set the
+ timeout value of the watchdog_device either to the requested timeout value
+ (if it is larger than max_hw_heartbeat_ms), or to the achieved timeout value.
+ (Note: the WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT needs to be set in the options field of the
+ watchdog's info structure).
+ If the watchdog driver does not have to perform any action but setting the
+ watchdog_device.timeout, this callback can be omitted.
+ If set_timeout is not provided but, WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT is set, the watchdog
+ infrastructure updates the timeout value of the watchdog_device internally
+ to the requested value.
+ If the pretimeout feature is used (WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT), then set_timeout must
+ also take care of checking if pretimeout is still valid and set up the timer
+ accordingly. This can't be done in the core without races, so it is the
+ duty of the driver.
+* set_pretimeout: this routine checks and changes the pretimeout value of
+ the watchdog. It is optional because not all watchdogs support pretimeout
+ notification. The timeout value is not an absolute time, but the number of
+ seconds before the actual timeout would happen. It returns 0 on success,
+ -EINVAL for "parameter out of range" and -EIO for "could not write value to
+ the watchdog". A value of 0 disables pretimeout notification.
+ (Note: the WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT needs to be set in the options field of the
+ watchdog's info structure).
+ If the watchdog driver does not have to perform any action but setting the
+ watchdog_device.pretimeout, this callback can be omitted. That means if
+ set_pretimeout is not provided but WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT is set, the watchdog
+ infrastructure updates the pretimeout value of the watchdog_device internally
+ to the requested value.
+* get_timeleft: this routines returns the time that's left before a reset.
+* restart: this routine restarts the machine. It returns 0 on success or a
+ negative errno code for failure.
+* ioctl: if this routine is present then it will be called first before we do
+ our own internal ioctl call handling. This routine should return -ENOIOCTLCMD
+ if a command is not supported. The parameters that are passed to the ioctl
+ call are: watchdog_device, cmd and arg.
+
+The 'ref' and 'unref' operations are no longer used and deprecated.
+
+The status bits should (preferably) be set with the set_bit and clear_bit alike
+bit-operations. The status bits that are defined are:
+* WDOG_ACTIVE: this status bit indicates whether or not a watchdog timer device
+ is active or not from user perspective. User space is expected to send
+ heartbeat requests to the driver while this flag is set.
+* WDOG_NO_WAY_OUT: this bit stores the nowayout setting for the watchdog.
+ If this bit is set then the watchdog timer will not be able to stop.
+* WDOG_HW_RUNNING: Set by the watchdog driver if the hardware watchdog is
+ running. The bit must be set if the watchdog timer hardware can not be
+ stopped. The bit may also be set if the watchdog timer is running after
+ booting, before the watchdog device is opened. If set, the watchdog
+ infrastructure will send keepalives to the watchdog hardware while
+ WDOG_ACTIVE is not set.
+ Note: when you register the watchdog timer device with this bit set,
+ then opening /dev/watchdog will skip the start operation but send a keepalive
+ request instead.
+
+ To set the WDOG_NO_WAY_OUT status bit (before registering your watchdog
+ timer device) you can either:
+ * set it statically in your watchdog_device struct with
+ .status = WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT_INIT_STATUS,
+ (this will set the value the same as CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT) or
+ * use the following helper function:
+ static inline void watchdog_set_nowayout(struct watchdog_device *wdd, int nowayout)
+
+Note: The WatchDog Timer Driver Core supports the magic close feature and
+the nowayout feature. To use the magic close feature you must set the
+WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE bit in the options field of the watchdog's info structure.
+The nowayout feature will overrule the magic close feature.
+
+To get or set driver specific data the following two helper functions should be
+used:
+
+static inline void watchdog_set_drvdata(struct watchdog_device *wdd, void *data)
+static inline void *watchdog_get_drvdata(struct watchdog_device *wdd)
+
+The watchdog_set_drvdata function allows you to add driver specific data. The
+arguments of this function are the watchdog device where you want to add the
+driver specific data to and a pointer to the data itself.
+
+The watchdog_get_drvdata function allows you to retrieve driver specific data.
+The argument of this function is the watchdog device where you want to retrieve
+data from. The function returns the pointer to the driver specific data.
+
+To initialize the timeout field, the following function can be used:
+
+extern int watchdog_init_timeout(struct watchdog_device *wdd,
+ unsigned int timeout_parm, struct device *dev);
+
+The watchdog_init_timeout function allows you to initialize the timeout field
+using the module timeout parameter or by retrieving the timeout-sec property from
+the device tree (if the module timeout parameter is invalid). Best practice is
+to set the default timeout value as timeout value in the watchdog_device and
+then use this function to set the user "preferred" timeout value.
+This routine returns zero on success and a negative errno code for failure.
+
+To disable the watchdog on reboot, the user must call the following helper:
+
+static inline void watchdog_stop_on_reboot(struct watchdog_device *wdd);
+
+To disable the watchdog when unregistering the watchdog, the user must call
+the following helper. Note that this will only stop the watchdog if the
+nowayout flag is not set.
+
+static inline void watchdog_stop_on_unregister(struct watchdog_device *wdd);
+
+To change the priority of the restart handler the following helper should be
+used:
+
+void watchdog_set_restart_priority(struct watchdog_device *wdd, int priority);
+
+User should follow the following guidelines for setting the priority:
+* 0: should be called in last resort, has limited restart capabilities
+* 128: default restart handler, use if no other handler is expected to be
+ available, and/or if restart is sufficient to restart the entire system
+* 255: highest priority, will preempt all other restart handlers
+
+To raise a pretimeout notification, the following function should be used:
+
+void watchdog_notify_pretimeout(struct watchdog_device *wdd)
+
+The function can be called in the interrupt context. If watchdog pretimeout
+governor framework (kbuild CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV symbol) is enabled,
+an action is taken by a preconfigured pretimeout governor preassigned to
+the watchdog device. If watchdog pretimeout governor framework is not
+enabled, watchdog_notify_pretimeout() prints a notification message to
+the kernel log buffer.

+ WDT Watchdog Timer Interfaces For The Linux Operating System
+ Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
+
+ ICS WDT501-P
+ ICS WDT501-P (no fan tachometer)
+ ICS WDT500-P
+
+All the interfaces provide /dev/watchdog, which when open must be written
+to within a timeout or the machine will reboot. Each write delays the reboot
+time another timeout. In the case of the software watchdog the ability to
+reboot will depend on the state of the machines and interrupts. The hardware
+boards physically pull the machine down off their own onboard timers and
+will reboot from almost anything.
+
+A second temperature monitoring interface is available on the WDT501P cards.
+This provides /dev/temperature. This is the machine internal temperature in
+degrees Fahrenheit. Each read returns a single byte giving the temperature.
+
+The third interface logs kernel messages on additional alert events.
+
+The ICS ISA-bus wdt card cannot be safely probed for. Instead you need to
+pass IO address and IRQ boot parameters. E.g.:
+ wdt.io=0x240 wdt.irq=11
+
+Other "wdt" driver parameters are:
+ heartbeat Watchdog heartbeat in seconds (default 60)
+ nowayout Watchdog cannot be stopped once started (kernel
+ build parameter)
+ tachometer WDT501-P Fan Tachometer support (0=disable, default=0)
+ type WDT501-P Card type (500 or 501, default=500)
