2024-11-05watchdog: Delete the cpu5wdt driverJean Delvare1-10/+0
This driver has a number of issues (accesses arbitrary I/O ports without identifying the hardware, doesn't document what hardware it supports, suspiciously inconsistent locking model, doesn't implement WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT, potential integer overflow...) The driver was added in 2003 and there's no evidence that it has any recent user, all changes seem to be tree-wide, subsystem-wide, or the result of static code analysis. So I believe we should simply drop this legacy piece of code.

2022-07-20watchdog/pseries-wdt: initial support for H_WATCHDOG-based watchdog timersScott Cheloha1-0/+12
PAPR v2.12 defines a new hypercall, H_WATCHDOG. The hypercall permits guest control of one or more virtual watchdog timers. The timers have millisecond granularity. The guest is terminated when a timer expires. This patch adds a watchdog driver for these timers, "pseries-wdt". pseries_wdt_probe() currently assumes the existence of only one platform device and always assigns it watchdogNumber 1. If we ever expose more than one timer to userspace we will need to devise a way to assign a distinct watchdogNumber to each platform device at device registration time.

2019-07-08docs: watchdog: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+745
Convert those documents and prepare them to be part of the kernel API book, as most of the stuff there are related to the Kernel interfaces. Still, in the future, it would make sense to split the docs, as some of the stuff is clearly focused on sysadmin tasks. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
