      x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR · 4a7863cc
      Don Zickus authored
      The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a
      local implementation to the global one provide by
      kernel/watchdog.c.  This shift has caused a whole bunch of
      compile problems under different config options.  I attempt to
      simplify things with the patch below.
      
      In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the
      meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and
      CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.  Basically they mean the same thing,
      the former on a local level and the latter on a global level.
      
      With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on
      defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't
      make sense any more.  x86 will now use the global
      implementation.
      
      The changes below do a few things.  First it changes the few
      places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use
      CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter
      anyway, so nothing unusual here).  Those pieces of code were
      relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog
      functionality, so the change should make sense.
      
      Second, I removed the x86 implementation of
      touch_nmi_watchdog().  It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely
      on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation.
      
      Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from
      x86.  And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to
      look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of
      ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This
      changes removes some of the ugliness in that file.
      
      Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for
      CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have
      ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.  You can
      only have one nmi_watchdog.
      
      Tested with
      ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken
      configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig,
      (various broken configs)
      
      Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken
      emails. :-)
      
      v3:
        changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function
        prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.
