There apparently was an unnoticed conflict between an earlier patch to
this file and mine (d1e08474), which
I noticed only now. I suppose a change like the one below (untested) is
needed; I didn't get any response on a confirmation request for this from
the submitter of the first patch.

The issue is the writing of the 'checkbit' member at the end of
setup_intel_arch_watchdog(), which my patch made go to intel_arch_wd_ops
rather than wd_ops.

right now if there's no CPU support for nmi_watchdog=2 we'll just
refuse it silently.

print a useful warning.

implement nmi_watchdog=2 on this class of CPUs:

  cpu family      : 15
  model           : 6
  model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz

the watchdog's ->setup() method is safe anyway, so if the CPU
cannot support it we'll bail out safely.

Here is a small patch to change the behavior of the PMU msr allocator
to avoid BUG_ON() when the MSR is unknwon. Instead, it now returns
ok, which means "I do not manage". The current allocator is not
yet managing the full set of PMU registers (e.g., GLOBAL_* on Core 2).

[watchdog] do not BUG_ON() in the MSR allocator if MSR is unknown, return ok
instead

Fix the NMI watchdog on Intel CoreDuo processor where the kernel would
get stuck during boot.  The issue is related to errata AE49, where the
PERFEVTSEL1 counter does not have a working enable bit.  Thus it is not
possible to use it for NMI.

The patch creates a dedicated wd_ops for CoreDuo which falls back to
using PERFEVTSEL0.  The other Intel processors supporting the
architectural PMU will keep on using PERFEVTSEL1 as this allows other
subsystems, such as perfmon, to use PERFEVTSEL0 for PEBS monitoring in
particular.  Bug initially reported by Daniel Walker.

The performance counters on K7 are only 48 bits wide, so using bit 63 to
check if the counter overflowed is wrong. Let's use bit 47 instead.

I got an oops while booting a 32bit kernel on KVM because it doesn't
implement performance counters used by the NMI watchdog. Handle this

The culprit seems to be 09198e68:
[PATCH] i386: Clean up NMI watchdog code

In two places, the parameters to release_{evntsel,perfctr}_nmi
got interchanged during the cleanup.

When disabled through /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog, the NMI watchdog uses the
stop() method directly, which does not decrement the activity counter, leading
to a BUG().  Use the wrapper function instead to fix that.

- Introduce a wd_ops structure
- Convert the various nmi watchdogs over to it
- This allows to split the perfctr reservation from the watchdog
setup cleanly.
- Do perfctr reservation globally as it should have always been
- Remove dead code referenced only by unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs
