kernel/watchdog.c: do not hardcode CPU 0 as the initial thread (8dcde9de) · Commits · 戴 / test

When CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is enabled, the socket containing the boot cpu can be replaced. During the hot add event, the message NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter. is output implying that the NMI watchdog was disabled at some point. This is not the case and the message has caused confusion for users of systems that support the removal of the boot cpu socket. The watchdog code is coded to assume that cpu 0 is always the first cpu to initialize the watchdog, and the last to stop its watchdog thread. That is not the case for initializing if cpu 0 has been removed and added. The removal case has never been correct because the smpboot code will remove the watchdog threads starting with the lowest cpu number. This patch adds watchdog_cpus to track the number of cpus with active NMI watchdog threads so that the first and last thread can be used to set and clear the value of firstcpu_err. firstcpu_err is set when the first watchdog thread is enabled, and cleared when the last watchdog thread is disabled.
