<title>watchdog: softlockup: panic when lockup duration exceeds N thresholds</title>

<id>e700f5d1560798aacf0e56fdcc70ee2c20bf56ec</id>
<content type='text'>
The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic
immediately or never panic on soft lockups.

Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly
aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations. 
Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist
undetected.

Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N
watchdog threshold periods.  This provides finer-grained control to
distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures.

The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic when duration &gt;= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior)
- N &gt; 1: Panic when duration &gt;= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.)

The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups
while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

Add a multicore configuration for the Terasic de0 nano FPGA development
board.  This SoC runs 2 OpenRISC CPUs at 50Mhz with 32MB ram, UART for
console and GPIOs for LEDs.

This FPGA SoC is based on the simple-smp reference board and brings in
devices from the de0 nano common DTSI file.

A default config is added that brings together the device tree and
driver setup.

Split out the common memory, CPU and PIC definitions of the simple SMP
system to a DTSI file which we will later use for our De0 Nano multicore
board device tree.  We also take this opportunity to swich underscores
to dashes as that seems to be the more common convention for DTS files.

The de0 nano from Terasic is an FPGA board that we use in the OpenRISC
community to test OpenRISC configurations.  Add a base configuration for
the board that runs an OpenRISC CPU at 50Mhz with 32MB ram, UART for
console and some GPIOs for LEDs and switches.

There is an older version of this floating around that defines all of
the hardware on the board including SPI's, flash devices, sram, ADCs
etc.  Eventually it would be good to get the full version upstream
but for now I think a minimal board is good to start with.

 - Avoid a theoretical races between metadata writeback and checkpoints

Commit d6ace46c82fd ("ext4: remove obsolete EXT3 config options")
removed the obsolete EXT3_CONFIG options, since it had been over a
decade since fs/ext3 had been removed.  Unfortunately, there were a
number of defconfigs that still used CONFIG_EXT3_FS which the cleanup
commit didn't fix up.  This led to a large number of defconfig test
builds to fail.  Oops.

Supported a complete jump_label implementation based on the ARM64 and
RV64 version and add the CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y to the defconfig.

Testing was conducted using a dedicated test module jump-label-test,
provided in the link below. For detailed steps, please refer to the
README also at the provided link.

Link: https://github.com/ChenMiaoi/GSoC-2025-Final-Report/tree/main/tests/jump-label-test

Test Environment:
  - Hardware: QEMU emulated OR1K
  - Kernel Version: 6.17.0-rc3-dirty
  - Configs: CONFIG_MODULES=y,CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
  - Toolchain: or1k-none-linux-musl-gcc 15.1.0

Test Results:
$ insmod jump_label_test.ko
[   32.590000] Jump label performance test module loaded
[   35.250000] Normal branch time: 1241327150 ns (124 ns per iteration)
[   35.250000] Jump label (false) time: 706422700 ns (70 ns per iteration)
[   35.250000] Jump label (true) time: 708913450 ns (70 ns per iteration)
$ rmmod jump_label_test.ko
[   72.210000] Jump label test module unloaded

The results show approximately 43% improvement in branch performance
when using jump labels compared to traditional branches.

Commit 654102df2ac2 ("kbuild: add generic support for built-in boot
DTBs") introduced generic support for built-in DTBs.

Select GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB to use the generic rule.

To keep consistency across architectures, this commit also renames
CONFIG_OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME.
