6 bool "Watchdog Timer Support"
7 ---help---
8 If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
9 character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
10 number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
11 subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
12 longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
13 could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
14 on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
15 implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
16 reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
17 are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
18 your computer. For details, read
19 <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt> in the kernel source.
20
21 The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
22 which is available from
23 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can
24 also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process
25 table is full.
26
27 If unsure, say N.

33 ---help---
34 Say Y here if you want to use the new watchdog timer driver core.
35 This driver provides a framework for all watchdog timer drivers
36 and gives them the /dev/watchdog interface (and later also the
37 sysfs interface).
38
39 config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
40 bool "Disable watchdog shutdown on close"
41 help
42 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
43 to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
44 /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
45 get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once
46 it has been started.

568 These drivers are included in the Intel 82801 I/O Controller
569 Hub family (from ICH0 up to ICH10) and in the Intel 63xxESB
570 controller hub.
571
572 The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) timer is a watchdog timer
573 that will reboot the machine after its second expiration. The
574 expiration time can be configured with the "heartbeat" parameter.
575
576 On some motherboards the driver may fail to reset the chipset's
577 NO_REBOOT flag which prevents the watchdog from rebooting the
578 machine. If this is the case you will get a kernel message like
579 "failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware".

1127 help
1128 IBM s/390 and zSeries machines running under z/VM 5.1 or later
1129 provide a virtual watchdog timer to their guest that cause a
1130 user define Control Program command to be executed after a
1131 timeout.

1134 will be called vmwatchdog.

1142 This driver adds watchdog support for the integrated watchdog in the
1143 SuperH processors. If you have one of these processors and wish
1144 to have watchdog support enabled, say Y, otherwise say N.
1145
1146 As a side note, saying Y here will automatically boost HZ to 1000
1147 so that the timer has a chance to clear the overflow counter. On
1148 slower systems (such as the SH-2 and SH-3) this will likely yield
1149 some performance issues. As such, the WDT should be avoided here
1150 unless it is absolutely necessary.

1208 This is the driver for the Berkshire Products ISA-PC Watchdog card.
1209 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
1210 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
1211 time. This driver is like the WDT501 driver but for different
1212 hardware. Please read <file:Documentation/watchdog/pcwd-watchdog.txt>. The PC
1213 watchdog cards can be ordered from <http://www.berkprod.com/>.

1239 otherwise N. It is not possible to probe for this board, which means
1240 that you have to inform the kernel about the IO port and IRQ that

1273
1274 If you have a PCI-WDT501 watchdog board then you can enable the
1275 temperature sensor by setting the type parameter to 501.
1276
1277 If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the PCI-WDT501, then you
1278 can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a
1279 fan tachometer actually set up.
