Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86, NMI: add back unknown_nmi_panic and nmi_watchdog sysctls
Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:07:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1291068437-5331-3-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1291068437-5331-1-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com>

Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the unknown_nmi_panic
to the traps.c file.  Because the old nmi watchdog was deleted before this
change happened, the unknown_nmi_panic sysctl was lost.  This re-adds it.

Also, the nmi_watchdog sysctl was re-implemented and its documentation
updated accordingly.

Patch-inspired-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com>

-			1 - use the IO-APIC timer for the NMI watchdog
-			2 - use the local APIC for the NMI watchdog using
