[Xen-devel] [PATCH][2 of 3] GDB serial port debugging: Respect opt_watchdog flag when resuming a debug session

["Dan Doucette" <doucette.daniel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

When trap_to_gdb in common/gdbstub.c returns, it calls watchdog_enable().  However, the watchdog functionality is an option controlled in arch/x86/setup.c using the opt_watchdog boot parameter, and currently defaults to 'off'.  When the user resumes from a gdb session over the serial port, the watchdog will be enabled regardless of the 'opt_watchdog' flag.  This patch addresses this issue by propagating the optional parameter to arch/x86/nmi.c and conditionally enabling/disabling the watchdog based on the value of the now global 'opt_watchdog' flag.
