8 bool "Watchdog Timer Support"
10 If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
11 character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
12 number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
13 subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
14 longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
15 could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
16 on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
17 implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
18 reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
19 are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
20 your computer. For details, read
21 <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.rst> in the kernel source.
23 The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
24 which is available from
25 <https://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon
26 can also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the
27 process table is full.
34 tristate "WatchDog Timer Driver Core"
36 Say Y here if you want to use the new watchdog timer driver core.
37 This driver provides a framework for all watchdog timer drivers
38 and gives them the /dev/watchdog interface (and later also the
41 config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
42 bool "Disable watchdog shutdown on close"
44 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
45 to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
46 /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
47 get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once
50 config WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED
51 bool "Update boot-enabled watchdog until userspace takes over"
54 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say Y here) is
55 to ping watchdog devices that were enabled before the driver has
56 been loaded until control is taken over from userspace using the
57 /dev/watchdog file. If you say N here, the kernel will not update
58 the watchdog on its own. Thus if your userspace does not start fast
59 enough your device will reboot.
61 config WATCHDOG_OPEN_TIMEOUT
62 int "Timeout value for opening watchdog device"
65 The maximum time, in seconds, for which the watchdog framework takes
66 care of pinging a hardware watchdog. A value of 0 means infinite. The

80 watchdogs that do not natively support pretimeout support. Be aware

82 be able to fire before the actual watchdog fires in some situations.

2179 If you have a WDT500P or WDT501P watchdog board, say Y here,
2180 otherwise N. It is not possible to probe for this board, which means
2181 that you have to inform the kernel about the IO port and IRQ that
2182 is needed (you can do this via the io and irq parameters)
2184 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
2185 module will be called wdt.

2194 config PCIPCWATCHDOG
2195 tristate "Berkshire Products PCI-PC Watchdog"
2198 This is the driver for the Berkshire Products PCI-PC Watchdog card.
2199 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
2200 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
2201 time. The card can also monitor the internal temperature of the PC.

2204 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
2205 module will be called pcwd_pci.
2207 Most people will say N.
2210 tristate "PCI-WDT500/501 Watchdog timer"
2213 If you have a PCI-WDT500/501 watchdog board, say Y here, otherwise N.
2215 If you have a PCI-WDT501 watchdog board then you can enable the
2216 temperature sensor by setting the type parameter to 501.
2218 If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the PCI-WDT501, then you
2219 can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a
2220 fan tachometer actually set up.
2222 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
2223 module will be called wdt_pci.

2236 This is the driver for the Berkshire Products USB-PC Watchdog card.
2237 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
2238 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
2239 time. The card can also monitor the internal temperature of the PC.

2247 config KEEMBAY_WATCHDOG
2248 tristate "Intel Keem Bay SoC non-secure watchdog"
2249 depends on ARCH_KEEMBAY || (ARM64 && COMPILE_TEST)
2250 select WATCHDOG_CORE
2252 This option enable support for an In-secure watchdog timer driver for
2253 Intel Keem Bay SoC. This WDT has a 32 bit timer and decrements in every
2254 count unit. An interrupt will be triggered, when the count crosses
2255 the threshold configured in the register.
2257 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
2258 module will be called keembay_wdt.
