2 * Detect hard and soft lockups on a system
4 * started by Don Zickus, Copyright (C) 2010 Red Hat, Inc.
6 * Note: Most of this code is borrowed heavily from the original softlockup
7 * detector, so thanks to Ingo for the initial implementation.
8 * Some chunks also taken from the old x86-specific nmi watchdog code, thanks
9 * to those contributors as well.
