[PATCH v9 0/5] Watchdog: introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver

[fu.wei@linaro.org]

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>

This patchset:
    (1)Introduce Documentation/devicetree/bindings/watchdog/sbsa-gwdt.txt
    for FDT info of SBSA Generic Watchdog, and give two examples of
    adding SBSA Generic Watchdog device node into the dts files:
    foundation-v8.dts and amd-seattle-soc.dtsi.

    (2)Introduce "pretimeout" into the watchdog framework, and update
    Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt to introduce:
        (1)the new elements in the watchdog_device and watchdog_ops struct;
        (2)the new API "watchdog_init_timeouts".

    (3)Introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver:
        a.Use linux kernel watchdog framework;
        b.Work with FDT on ARM64;
        c.Use "pretimeout" in watchdog framework;
        d.Support getting timeout and pretimeout from parameter and FDT
          at the driver init stage.
        e.In the first timeout, do panic to save system context;
        f.In the second stage, user can still feed the dog without
          cleaning WS0. By this feature, we can avoid the panic infinite
          loops, while backing up a large system context in a server.
        g.In the second stage, can trigger WS1 by setting pretimeout = 0
          if necessary.

This patchset has been tested with watchdog daemon
(ACPI/FDT, module/build-in) on the following platforms:
    (1)ARM Foundation v8 model
    (2)AMD Seattle platform

This patchset has been tested with kdump successfully.

Changelog:
v9: Rebase to latest kernel version(4.3).
    Update the Documentation of sbsa-gwdt device node info of FDT:
        (1) move some introduction to pretimeout patch
        (2) delete WS1 value from "interrupts" of binding documentation,
            since WS1 won't be handled by Linux.

v8: Rebase to latest kernel version(4.3-rc7).
    Separate the patches of GTDT support and arm_arch_timer. This
    clocksource relevant patch will upstreamed in a individual patchset.
    Update all the default timeout and pretimeout to 30s and 60s.
    Improve documentation and inline comments.
    Fix a bug in pretimeout support which makes timeout and pretimeout
    parameters initialization fail.

v7: Rebase to latest kernel version(4.2-rc7).
    Improve FDT support: geting resource by order, instead of name.
    According to the FDT support, Update the example dts file, gtdt.c
    and sbsa_gwdt.c.
    Pass the sparse test, and fix the warning.
    Fix the max_pretimeout and max_timeout value overflow bug.
    Delete the WCV output value.
    

v6: Improve the dtb example files: reduce the register frame size to 4K.
    Improve pretimeout support:
        (1) improve watchdog_init_timeouts function
	(2) rename watchdog_check_min_max_timeouts back to the original name
        (1) improve watchdog_timeout_invalid/watchdog_pretimeout_invalid
    Add the new features in the sbsa_gwdt driver:
	(1) In the second stage, user can feed the dog without cleaning WS0.
	(2) In the second stage, user can trigger WS1 by setting pretimeout = 0.
	(3) expand the max value of pretimeout, in case 10 second is not enough
	    for a kdump kernel reboot in panic.

v5: Improve pretimeout support:
        (1)fix typo in documentation and comments.
	(2)fix the timeout limits validation bug.
    Simplify sbsa_gwdt driver:
	(1)integrate all the registers access functions into caller.

v4: Refactor GTDT support code: remove it from arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c,
    put it into drivers/acpi/gtdt.c file.
    Integrate the GTDT code of drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c into
    drivers/acpi/gtdt.c.
    Improve pretimeout support, fix "pretimeout == 0" problem.
    Simplify sbsa_gwdt driver:
        (1)timeout/pretimeout limits setup;
        (2)keepalive function;
        (3)delete "clk == 0" check;
        (4)delete WS0 status bit check in interrupt routine;
        (5)sbsa_gwdt_set_wcv function.

v3: Delete "export arch_timer_get_rate" patch.
    Driver back to use arch_timer_get_cntfrq.
    Improve watchdog_init_timeouts function and update relevant documentation.
    Improve watchdog_timeout_invalid and watchdog_pretimeout_invalid.
    Improve foundation-v8.dts: delete the unnecessary tag of device node.
    Remove "ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST" from Kconfig.
    Add comments in arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c
    Fix typoes and incorrect comments.

v2: Improve watchdog-kernel-api.txt documentation for pretimeout support.
    Export "arch_timer_get_rate" in arm_arch_timer.c.
    Add watchdog_init_timeouts API for pretimeout support in framework.
    Improve suspend and resume foundation in driver
    Improve timeout/pretimeout values init code in driver.
    Delete unnecessary items of the sbsa_gwdt struct and #define.
    Delete all unnecessary debug info in driver.
    Fix 64bit division bug.
    Use the arch_timer interface to get watchdog clock rate.
    Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for platform device id.
    Fix typoes.

v1: The first version upstream patchset to linux mailing list.
