9 ---help---
10 If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
11 character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
12 number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
13 subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
14 longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
15 could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
16 online as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
17 implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
18 reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
19 are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
20 your computer. For details, read <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog.txt>
21 in the kernel source.
22
23 The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
24 which is available from
25 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can
26 also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process
27 table is full.

29 If unsure, say N.

31config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT

34 help
35 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
36 to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
37 /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
38 get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once
39 it has been started.

486 IBM s/390 and zSeries machines running under z/VM 5.1 or later
487 provide a virtual watchdog timer to their guest that cause a
488 user define Control Program command to be executed after a
489 timeout.

491 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
492 will be called vmwatchdog.

500 This driver adds watchdog support for the integrated watchdog in the
501 SuperH processors. If you have one of these processors and wish
502 to have watchdog support enabled, say Y, otherwise say N.
503
504 As a side note, saying Y here will automatically boost HZ to 1000
505 so that the timer has a chance to clear the overflow counter. On
506 slower systems (such as the SH-2 and SH-3) this will likely yield
507 some performance issues. As such, the WDT should be avoided here
508 unless it is absolutely necessary.

511 module will be called shwdt.

525 If you do not have a CompactPCI model CP1400 or CP1500, or
526 another UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine boardset with hardware watchdog,
527 you should say N to this option.

533 Say Y here to support the hardware watchdog capability on Sun RIO
534 machines. The watchdog timeout period is normally one minute but
535 can be changed with a boot-time parameter.

548 This is the driver for the Berkshire Products ISA-PC Watchdog card.
549 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
550 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
551 time. This driver is like the WDT501 driver but for different
552 hardware. Please read <file:Documentation/watchdog/pcwd-watchdog.txt>. The PC
553 watchdog cards can be ordered from <http://www.berkprod.com/>.

578 If you have a WDT500P or WDT501P watchdog board, say Y here,
579 otherwise N. It is not possible to probe for this board, which means
580 that you have to inform the kernel about the IO port and IRQ that
581 is needed (you can do this via the io and irq parameters)

590 Saying Y here and creating a character special file /dev/temperature
591 with major number 10 and minor number 131 ("man mknod") will give
592 you a thermometer inside your computer: reading from
593 /dev/temperature yields one byte, the temperature in degrees
594 Fahrenheit. This works only if you have a WDT501P watchdog board
595 installed.
596
597 If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the WDT501P, then you
598 can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a
599 fan tachometer actually set up.
