[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Hardware watchdog patch, version 5

[Richard W.M. Jones]

This is version 5 of the hardware watchdogs patch.  Thanks to Anthony
Liguori and Blueswirl for looking at the previous version.

What's fixed in this version:

* Separate options:
  -watchdog <model>          selects the model
  -watchdog-action <action>  selects the action that QEMU takes

* The action is changable via the watchdog_action monitor command

* wdt_model struct renamed to WatchdogTimerModel

* Uses "sys-queue.h" macros for the linked list of watchdogs

* All command line parsing has been moved to vl.c

* Intel 6300 state struct renamed to I6300State

* Debug macros instead of #ifdef *_DEBUG

* The host state (action) is no longer stored in the save/restore data

* FSF address updated in license

* Extra actions:
  debug                     prints a debug message and continues
  none                      nothing is done when watchdog timer expires

What's not done in this release:

* PCI hotplug support for the i6300esb.

I think that it's unlikely anyone would want to hotplug a virtual
watchdog device, so that would just be adding complicated code that no
one would ever use.

Rich.
