config WATCHDOG
bool "Watchdog Timer Support"
---help---
If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
online as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
your computer. For details, read <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog.txt>
in the kernel source.
The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
which is available from
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can
also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process
table is full.
If unsure, say N.
config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
bool "Disable watchdog shutdown on close"
depends on WATCHDOG
help
The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
/dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once
it has been started.

A software monitoring watchdog. This will fail to reboot your system
from some situations that the hardware watchdog will recover
from. Equally it's a lot cheaper to install.

help
The Intel Footbridge chip contains a builtin watchdog circuit. Say Y
here if you wish to use this. Alternatively say M to compile the
driver as a module, which will be called wdt285.
This driver does not work on all machines. In particular, early CATS
boards have hardware problems that will cause the machine to simply
lock up if the watchdog fires.

Note: The internal IXP4xx watchdog does a soft CPU reset
which doesn't reset any peripherals. There are circumstances
where the watchdog will fail to reset the board correctly
(e.g., if the boot ROM is in an unreadable state).
Say N if you are unsure.

depends on WATCHDOG && (X86 || IA64) && PCI
---help---
Hardware driver for the TCO timer built into the Intel 82801
I/O Controller Hub family. The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
timer is a watchdog timer that will reboot the machine after
its second expiration. The expiration time can be configured
with the "heartbeat" parameter.
On some motherboards the driver may fail to reset the chipset's
NO_REBOOT flag which prevents the watchdog from rebooting the
machine. If this is the case you will get a kernel message like
"failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware".

This driver can be used with the watchdog timer found on some
single board computers, namely the 6010 PII based computer.
It may well work with other cards. It reads port 0x443 to enable

the watchdog. If you have a card that behave in similar ways,
you can probably make this driver work with your card as well.
