Patch series "watchdog/hardlockup: Cleanup configuration of hardlockup
detectors", v2.

Clean up watchdog Kconfig after introducing the buddy detector.


This patch (of 6):

There are four possible variants of hardlockup detectors:

  + buddy: available when SMP is set.

  + perf: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is set.

  + arch-specific: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set.

  + sparc64 special variant: available when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set
	and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is not set.

Only one hardlockup detector can be compiled in. The selection is done
using quite complex dependencies between several CONFIG variables.
The following patches will try to make it more straightforward.

As a first step, reorder the definitions of the various CONFIG variables.
The logical order is:

   1. HAVE_* variables define available variants. They are typically
      defined in the arch/ config files.

   2. HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR y/n variable defines whether the hardlockup
      detector is enabled at all.

   3. HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY y/n variable defines whether
      the buddy detector should be preferred over the perf one.
      Note that the arch specific variants are always preferred when
      available.

   4. HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY variables define whether the given
      detector is enabled in the end.

   5. HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH
      are temporary variables that are going to be removed in
      a followup patch.

This is a preparation step for further cleanup. It will change the logic
without shuffling the definitions.

This change temporary breaks the C-like ordering where the variables are
declared or defined before they are used. It is not really needed for
Kconfig. Also the following patches will rework the logic so that
the ordering will be C-like in the end.

The patch just shuffles the definitions. It should not change the existing
behavior.

Say Y here to enable the kernel to act as a watchdog to detect

Hardlockups are bugs that cause the CPU to loop in kernel mode
for more than 10 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
and the system will stay locked up.

Say Y here to prefer the buddy hardlockup detector over the perf one.

With the buddy detector, each CPU uses its softlockup hrtimer
to check that the next CPU is processing hrtimer interrupts by
verifying that a counter is increasing.

This hardlockup detector is useful on systems that don't have
an arch-specific hardlockup detector or if resources needed
for the hardlockup detector are better used for other things.
