CPU architectures that have an NMI watchdog use arch_touch_nmi_watchdog()
to briefly ignore the hardlockup detector. If the architecture does not
have an NMI watchdog, one can be constructed using a source of non-
maskable interrupts. In this case, arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() is common
to any underlying hardware resource used to drive the detector and needs
to be available to other kernel subsystems if hardware different from perf
drives the detector.
There exists perf-based and HPET-based implementations. Make it available
to the latter.
For clarity, wrap this function in a separate preprocessor conditional
from functions which are truly specific to the perf-based implementation.

Why not instead make CONFIG_X86_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_HPET select
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF? Keep the arch-specific details
in the arch-specific files and all that.
Thanx, Paul

Thanks for your feedback, Paul! The HPET implementation does not use
perf. Thus, in my opinion is not correct for the HPET HLD to select
the perf implementation. Patch 8 of this series splits the perf-specific
code and the generic hardlockup detector code. Does this make sense?
Thanks and BR,
Ricardo

That's what intermediate config symbols are for.
config HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_CORE
bool
And make both PERF and HPET select it.

I'll implement it in this manner.
