From 031f7edecf46d731673a5dd19ecb0de38f1a2219 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Utz Bacher Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 09:43:34 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] ppc64: add a watchdog driver for rtas Add a watchdog using the RTAS OS surveillance service. This is provided as a simpler alternative to rtasd. The added value is that it works with standard watchdog client programs and can therefore also do user space monitoring. On BPA, rtasd is not really useful because the hardware does not have much to report with event-scan. The driver should also work on other platforms that support the OS surveillance rtas calls.
