From 2501b015313fe2fa40ed11fa4dd1748e09b7c773 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Reichel Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 14:05:32 +0200 Subject: watchdog: core: add option to avoid early handling of watchdog On some systems its desirable to have watchdog reboot the system when it does not come up fast enough. This adds a kernel parameter to disable the auto-update of watchdog before userspace takes over and a kernel option to set the default. The info messages were added to shorten error searching on misconfigured systems.
