[PATCH] timer-irq-driven soft-watchdog, cleanups
Make the softlockup detector purely timer-interrupt driven, removing softirq-context (timer) dependencies. This means that if the softlockup watchdog triggers, it has truly observed a longer than 10 seconds scheduling delay of a SCHED_FIFO prio 99 task. (the patch also turns off the softlockup detector during the initial bootup phase and does small style fixes) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
