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.

493 IBM s/390 and zSeries machines running under z/VM 5.1 or later
494 provide a virtual watchdog timer to their guest that cause a
495 user define Control Program command to be executed after a
496 timeout.
497
498 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
499 will be called vmwatchdog.

505 depends on WATCHDOG && SUPERH
506 help
507 This driver adds watchdog support for the integrated watchdog in the
508 SuperH processors. If you have one of these processors and wish
509 to have watchdog support enabled, say Y, otherwise say N.
510
511 As a side note, saying Y here will automatically boost HZ to 1000
512 so that the timer has a chance to clear the overflow counter. On
513 slower systems (such as the SH-2 and SH-3) this will likely yield
514 some performance issues. As such, the WDT should be avoided here
515 unless it is absolutely necessary.
516
517 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
518 module will be called shwdt.

549 machines. The watchdog timeout period is normally one minute but
550 can be changed with a boot-time parameter.

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

605 Saying Y here and creating a character special file /dev/temperature
606 with major number 10 and minor number 131 ("man mknod") will give
607 you a thermometer inside your computer: reading from
608 /dev/temperature yields one byte, the temperature in degrees
609 Fahrenheit. This works only if you have a WDT501P watchdog board
610 installed.

612 If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the WDT501P, then you
613 can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a
614 fan tachometer actually set up.
