Hans de Goede e907df3272 watchdog: Add support for dynamically allocated watchdog_device structs
If a driver's watchdog_device struct is part of a dynamically allocated
struct (which it often will be), merely locking the module is not enough,
even with a drivers module locked, the driver can be unbound from the device,
examples:
1) The root user can unbind it through sysfd
2) The i2c bus master driver being unloaded for an i2c watchdog

I will gladly admit that these are corner cases, but we still need to handle
them correctly.

The fix for this consists of 2 parts:
1) Add ref / unref operations, so that the driver can refcount the struct
   holding the watchdog_device struct and delay freeing it until any
   open filehandles referring to it are closed
2) Most driver operations will do IO on the device and the driver should not
   do any IO on the device after it has been unbound. Rather then letting each
   driver deal with this internally, it is better to ensure at the watchdog
   core level that no operations (other then unref) will get called after
   the driver has called watchdog_unregister_device(). This actually is the
   bulk of this patch.

Hans de Goede f4e9c82f64 watchdog: Add Locking support
This patch fixes some potential multithreading issues, despite only
allowing one process to open the /dev/watchdog device, we can still get
called multiple times at the same time, since a program could be using thread,
or could share the fd after a fork.

This causes 2 potential problems:
1) watchdog_start / open do an unlocked test_n_set / test_n_clear,
   if these 2 race, the watchdog could be stopped while the active
   bit indicates it is running or visa versa.

2) Most watchdog_dev drivers probably assume that only one
   watchdog-op will get called at a time, this is not necessary
   true atm.

Alan Cox 2bbeed016d watchdog: Add a flag to indicate the watchdog doesn't reboot things
Some watchdogs merely trigger external alarms and controls. In a managed
environment this is very useful but we want drivers to be able to figure
out which is which now multiple dogs can be loaded. Thus add an ALARMONLY
feature flag.

Wim Van Sebroeck 78d88fc012 watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add ioctl call
Add support for extra ioctl calls by adding a
ioctl watchdog operation. This operation will be
called before we do our own handling of ioctl
commands. This way we can override the internal
ioctl command handling and we can also add
extra ioctl commands. The ioctl watchdog operation
should return the appropriate error codes or
-ENOIOCTLCMD if the ioctl command should be handled
through the internal ioctl handling of the framework.

The WatchDog Timer Driver Core is a framework

It also introduces a watchdog device structure and the

This is the introduction of this framework. This part
supports the minimal watchdog userspace API (or with
other words: the functionality to use /dev/watchdog's
open, release and write functionality as defined in
the simplest watchdog API). Extra functionality will
follow in the next set of patches.

Corey Minyard e05b59fe79 [WATCHDOG] Pre-Timeout flags
Some watchdog timers support the concept of a "pretimeout" which
occurs some time before the real timeout.  The pretimeout can
be delivered via an interrupt or NMI and can be used to panic
the system when it occurs (so you get useful information instead
of a blind reboot).

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
