From 1356d0b966e7ed81832af35478b913495cf7792e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Mladek Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2023 17:06:14 +0200 Subject: watchdog/hardlockup: make the config checks more straightforward There are four possible variants of hardlockup detectors: + buddy: available when SMP is set. + perf: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is set. + arch-specific: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set. + sparc64 special variant: available when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is not set. The check for the sparc64 variant is more complicated because HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is used to #ifdef code used by both arch-specific and sparc64 specific variant. Therefore it is automatically selected with HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. This complexity is partly hidden in HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH. It reduces the size of some checks but it makes them harder to follow. Finally, the other temporary variable HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH is used to re-compute HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY when the global HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR switch is enabled/disabled. Make the logic more straightforward by the following changes: + Better explain the role of HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH and HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG in comments. + Add HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY so that there is separate HAVE_* for all four hardlockup detector variants. Use it in the other conditions instead of SMP. It makes it clear that it is about the buddy detector. + Open code HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH in HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY. It helps to understand the conditions between the four hardlockup detector variants. + Define the exact conditions when HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY can be enabled. It explains the dependency on the other hardlockup detector variants. Also it allows to remove HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH by using "imply". It triggers re-evaluating HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY when the global HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR switch is changed. + Add dependency on HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR so that the affected variables disappear when the hardlockup detectors are disabled. Another nice side effect is that HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY value is not preserved when the global switch is disabled. The user has to make the decision again when it gets re-enabled.
