From 178b9f7a36d2c74a38274b66dd89f53611298a19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 21:37:18 +0200 Subject: watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Implement init time perf validation The watchdog tries to create perf events even after it figured out that perf is not functional or the requested event is not supported. That's braindead as this can be done once at init time and if not supported the NMI watchdog can be turned off unconditonally. Implement the perf hardlockup detector functionality for that. This creates a new event create function, which will replace the unholy mess of the existing one in later patches.
