Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] powerpc/watchdog: read TB close to where it is used

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2021 21:31:45 +1000

When taking watchdog actions, printing messages, comparing and
re-setting wd_smp_last_reset_tb, etc., read TB close to the point of use
and under wd_smp_lock or printing lock (if applicable).

This should keep timebase mostly monotonic with kernel log messages, and
could prevent (in theory) a laggy CPU updating wd_smp_last_reset_tb to
something a long way in the past, and causing other CPUs to appear to be
stuck.

These additional TB reads are all slowpath (lockup has been detected),
so performance does not matter.
