Linux的WDT(watchdog)驱动
第一部分： WDT驱动原理
WDT在内核中通常都实现为misc驱动。
WDT介绍
一个Watchdog Timer（WDT）是一个在软件出错的时候可以复位计算机系统的硬件电路。
通常一个用户空间守护进程会在正常的时间间隔内通过/dev/watchdog特殊设备文件来通知内核的watchdog驱动，用户空间仍然正常。当这样的一个通知发生时，驱动通常会告诉硬件watchdog一切正常，然后watchdog应该再等待一段时间来复位系统。如果用户空间出问题（RAM错误，内核bug等），则通知将会停止，然后硬件watchdog将在超时后复位系统。
Linux的watchdog API是一个相当特别的东西，不同的驱动实现是不同的，而且有时部分是不兼容的。这个文档正是要尝试着去说明已经出现的用法，并且使以后的驱动作者把它作为一份参考。
最简单的 API:
所有的设备驱动都支持的基本的操作模式，一旦/dev/watchdog被打开，则watchdog激活，并且除非喂狗，否则将在一段时间之后重启，这个时间被称为timeout或margin。最简单的喂狗方法就是写一些数据到设备。一个非常简单的watchdog守护进程看起来就像这个文件这样：
Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-simple.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd = open("/dev/watchdog", O_WRONLY);
int ret = 0;
if (fd == -1) {
perror("watchdog");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
while (1) {
ret = write(fd, "\0", 1);
if (ret != 1) {
ret = -1;
break;
}
ret = fsync(fd);
if (ret)
break;
sleep(10);
}
close(fd);
return ret;
}
一个高级一些的驱动在喂狗之前，可能还会做一些其他的事情，比如说检查HTTP服务器是否依然可以相应。
当设备关闭的时候，除非支持"Magic Close"特性。否则watchdog被关闭。这并不总是一个好主意，比如watchdog守护进程出现了bug并且崩溃了，则系统将不会重启。因此，某些驱动支持"Disable watchdog shutdown on close", CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT配置选项。当编译内核的时候这个选项被设置为Y，则一旦watchdog被启动，则将没有办法能够停止。这样，则当watchdog守护进程崩溃的时候，系统仍将在超时后重启。Watchdog设备常常也支持nowayout模块参数，这样这个选项就可以在运行时进行控制。
Magic Close 特性:
如果一个驱动支持"Magic Close"，则除非在关闭文件前，魔幻字符'V'被发送到/dev/watchdog，驱动将不停止watchdog。如果用户空间守护进程在关闭文件前没有发送这个字符，则驱动认为用户空间崩溃，并在关闭watchdog前停止喂狗。
这样的话，如果没有在一定的时间内重新打开watchdog，则将导致一个重启。
ioctl API:
所有标准的驱动也应该支持一个ioctl API。
喂狗使用一个ioctl：
所有的驱动都有一个ioctl接口支持至少一个ioctl命令，KEEPALIVE。这个 ioctl 做的事和一个写watchdog设备完全一样，所以，上面程序的主循环可以替换为：
while (1) {
ioctl(fd, WDIOC_KEEPALIVE, 0);
sleep(10);
}
ioctl的参数被忽略。
设置和获得超时值：
对于某些驱动来说，在上层使用SETTIMEOUT ioctl命令改变watchdog的超时值是可能的，那些驱动在他们的选项与中有WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT标志。参数是一个代表以秒为单位的超时值，驱动将在同一个变量中返回实际使用的超时值，这个超时值可能由于硬件的限制，而不同于所请求的超时值
int timeout = 45;
ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT, &timeout);
printf("The timeout was set to %d seconds\n", timeout);
如果设备的超时值的粒度只能到分钟，则这个例子可能实际打印"The timeout was set to 60 seconds"。
自从Linux 2.4.18内核，通过GETTIMEOUT ioctl命令查询当前超时值也是可能的：
ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT, &timeout);
printf("The timeout was is %d seconds\n", timeout);
预处理：
Pretimeouts:
一些watchdog定时器，可以被设置为，在他们实际复位系统前，有一个触发。这可能通过一个NMI，中断，或其他机制。这将允许在它复位系统前Linux去记录一些有用的信息（比如panic信息和内核转储）。
pretimeout = 10;
ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETPRETIMEOUT, &pretimeout);
注意，预超时值应该是一个相对于超时值提前的秒数。而不是直到预超时的秒数。
比如，如果你设置超时值为60秒，预超时值为10秒，那么预超时将在50秒后到达。设置为0则是禁用它。预超时还有一个get功能：
ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETPRETIMEOUT, &timeout);
printf("The pretimeout was is %d seconds\n", timeout);
不是所有的watchdog驱动都支持一个预超时的。
获得重启前的秒数
一些watchdog驱动有一个报告在重启前的剩余时间的功能。WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT就是返回重启前的秒数的ioctl命令。
ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT, &timeleft);
printf("The timeout was is %d seconds\n", timeleft);
环境监视：
Environmental monitoring:
所有的watchdog驱动都被要求返回更多关于系统的信息，有些返回温度，风扇和功率水平监测，依稀可以告诉你上一次重启系统的原因。GETSUPPORT ioctl可以用来查询设备可以做什么：
struct watchdog_info ident;
ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETSUPPORT, &ident);
ident结构中返回的字段是：
identity 一个标识watchdog驱动的字符串
firmware_version 如果可用的话，就是卡的固件版本
options 一个描述设备支持什么的标志
options字段可以有下面的位集，和描述GET_STATUS 和 GET_BOOT_STATUS ioctls可以返回什么种类的信息。
第二部分： WDT驱动源码
驱动架构比较简单，由于kernel启动时，定义并加入了watchdog的platform_device,所以驱动定义并注册watchdog 的platform_driver
