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 ACPI GTDT parser: drivers/acpi/gtdt.c Parse SBSA Generic Watchdog Structure in GTDT table of ACPI, and create a platform device with that information. This platform device can be used by This Watchdog driver. drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c is simplified by this GTDT support.
(3)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".
(4)Introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver: a.Use linux kernel watchdog framework; b.Work with FDT on ARM64; c.Use "pretimeout" in watchdog framework; d.In first timeout, do panic to save system context; e.Support getting timeout and pretimeout from parameter and FDT at the driver init stage.
This patchset has been tested with watchdog daemon (ACPI/FDT, module/build-in) on the following platforms: (1)ARM Foundation v8 model
Changelog: 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.
Fu Wei (7): Documentation: add sbsa-gwdt.txt documentation ARM64: add SBSA Generic Watchdog device node in foundation-v8.dts ARM64: add SBSA Generic Watchdog device node in amd-seattle-soc.dtsi Watchdog: introdouce "pretimeout" into framework Watchdog: introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver ACPI: add GTDT table parse driver into ACPI driver clocksource: simplify ACPI code in arm_arch_timer.c
