watchdog: add support for adjusting last known HW keepalive time

2020-08-05T16:43:02+00:00

Certain watchdogs require the watchdog only to be pinged within a specific time window, pinging too early or too late cause the watchdog to fire. In cases where this sort of watchdog has been started before kernel comes up, we must adjust the watchdog keepalive window to match the actually running timer, so add a new driver API for this purpose.

docs: watchdog: codify ident.options as superset of possible status flags

2020-08-05T16:42:52+00:00

The FIXME comment has been in-tree since the very first git commit. The described behavior has been since relied on by some userspace, e.g. the util-linux wdctl command and has been ignored by some kernelspace, like the f71808e_wdt driver. The functionality is useful to have to be able to differentiate between a driver that doesn't support WDIOF_CARDRESET and one that does, but hasn't had a watchdog reset, thus drop the FIXME to encourage drivers adopting this convention.

The commit d0684c8a9354 ("watchdog: Make stop function optional") made stop function not mandatory, but the comments and the doc weren't reflected. Fix it to clarify.
