-Purpose:
- Detect software lockups on each CPU.
-
-To reduce its OS jitter, do at least one of the following:
-
-1. Build with CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=n, which will prevent these
- kthreads from being created in the first place.
-2. Boot with "nosoftlockup=0", which will also prevent these kthreads
- from being created. Other related watchdog and softlockup boot
- parameters may be found in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
- and Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.rst.
-3. Echo a zero to /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog to disable the
- watchdog timer.
-4. Echo a large number of /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh in
- order to reduce the frequency of OS jitter due to the watchdog
- timer down to a level that is acceptable for your workload.
