6 bool "Watchdog Timer Support"
8 If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
9 character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
10 number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
11 subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
12 longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
13 could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
14 on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
15 implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
16 reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
17 are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
18 your computer. For details, read
19 <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt> in the kernel source.
21 The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
22 which is available from
23 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can
24 also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process
32 bool "WatchDog Timer Driver Core"

35 This driver provides a framework for all watchdog timer drivers
36 and gives them the /dev/watchdog interface (and later also the
39 config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
40 bool "Disable watchdog shutdown on close"
42 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
43 to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
44 /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
45 get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once

69 depends on PMIC_DA9052
72 Support for the watchdog in the DA9052 PMIC. Watchdog trigger

137 The Intel Footbridge chip contains a built-in watchdog circuit. Say Y
138 here if you wish to use this. Alternatively say M to compile the
139 driver as a module, which will be called wdt285.

167 which doesn't reset any peripherals. There are circumstances
168 where the watchdog will fail to reset the board correctly
169 (e.g., if the boot ROM is in an unreadable state).

266 affect both cores and the peripherals of the IOP. The ATU-X
267 and/or ATUe configuration registers will remain intact, but if
268 operating as an Root Complex and/or Central Resource, the PCI-X

757 depends on X86 && PCI
759 Hardware driver for the TCO timer built into the nVidia Hub family
760 (such as the MCP51). The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) timer is a
761 watchdog timer that will reboot the machine after its second
762 expiration. The expiration time can be configured with the
763 "heartbeat" parameter.
765 On some motherboards the driver may fail to reset the chipset's
766 NO_REBOOT flag which prevents the watchdog from rebooting the
767 machine. If this is the case you will get a kernel message like
768 "failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware".
