[RFC PATCH v5 14/16] x86/watchdog: Add a shim hardlockup detector

From: Ricardo Neri
Date: Tue May 04 2021 - 15:08:19 EST


The generic hardlockup detector is based on perf. It also provides a set
of weak stubs that CPU architectures can override. Add a shim hardlockup
detector for x86 that selects between perf and hpet implementations.

Specifically, this shim implementation is needed for the HPET-based
hardlockup detector; it can also be used for future implementations.
