From 9c44bc03fff44ff04237a7d92e35304a0e50c331 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 21:21:04 +0200 Subject: softlockup: allow panic on lockup allow users to configure the softlockup detector to generate a panic instead of a warning message. high-availability systems might opt for this strict method (combined with panic_timeout= boot option/sysctl), instead of generating softlockup warnings ad infinitum. also, automated tests work better if the system reboots reliably (into a safe kernel) in case of a lockup. The full spectrum of configurability is supported: boot option, sysctl option and Kconfig option. it's default-disabled.

Allow softlockup detection to be disabled by setting softlockup_thresh <= 0. Detect that boot time softlockup detection has been disabled earlier in softlockup_tick.
