Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in
  its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all
  duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state.

  The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are:

   1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get
      reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix.

   2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken

   3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working
      watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't
      ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the
      solution would be easy to backport.

   4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got
      delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu()
      surprise which we discussed recently.

  Changes vs. V1:

   - Addressed your review points

   - Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late

   - Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point
     in the series. Now they match what they do in the end.

   - Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the
     intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config
     combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough.

  The changes have been tested by and reviewed by Don Zickus and tested
  and acked by Micheal Ellerman for powerpc"

* 'core-watchdog-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits)
  watchdog/core: Put softlockup_threads_initialized under ifdef guard
  watchdog/core: Rename some softlockup_* functions
  powerpc/watchdog: Make use of watchdog_nmi_probe()

<title>watchdog/core: Rename some softlockup_* functions</title>

<id>5587185ddb4b9f413299dfec0a022ad0212513e8</id>
<content type='text'>
The function names made sense up to the point where the watchdog
(re)configuration was unified to use softlockup_reconfigure_threads() for
all configuration purposes. But that includes scenarios which solely
configure the nmi watchdog.

Rename softlockup_reconfigure_threads() and softlockup_init_threads() so
the function names match the functionality.

The rework of the core hotplug code triggers the WARN_ON in start_wd_cpu()
on powerpc because it is called multiple times for the boot CPU.

The first call is via:

  start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0
  watchdog_nmi_reconfigure+0x124/0x170
  softlockup_reconfigure_threads+0x110/0x130
  lockup_detector_init+0xbc/0xe0
  kernel_init_freeable+0x18c/0x37c
  kernel_init+0x2c/0x160
  ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc

And then again via the CPU hotplug registration:

  start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0
  cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x194/0x620
  cpuhp_thread_fun+0x7c/0x1b0
  smpboot_thread_fn+0x290/0x2a0
  kthread+0x168/0x1b0
  ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc

This can be avoided by setting up the cpu hotplug state with nocalls and
move the initialization to the watchdog_nmi_probe() function. That
initializes the hotplug callbacks without invoking the callback and the
following core initialization function then configures the watchdog for the
online CPUs (in this case CPU0) via softlockup_reconfigure_threads().

Instead of dropping the cpu hotplug lock after stopping NMI watchdog and
threads and reaquiring for restart, the code and the protection rules
become more obvious when holding cpu hotplug lock across the full
reconfiguration.
