Laurent Dufour c2f242d958 powerpc/pseries/mobility: set NMI watchdog factor during an LPM 
[ Upstream commit 118b136693 ]

During an LPM, while the memory transfer is in progress on the arrival
side, some latencies are generated when accessing not yet transferred
pages on the arrival side. Thus, the NMI watchdog may be triggered too
frequently, which increases the risk to hit an NMI interrupt in a bad
place in the kernel, leading to a kernel panic.

Disabling the Hard Lockup Watchdog until the memory transfer could be a
too strong work around, some users would want this timeout to be
eventually triggered if the system is hanging even during an LPM.

Introduce a new sysctl variable nmi_watchdog_factor. It allows to apply
a factor to the NMI watchdog timeout during an LPM. Just before the CPUs
are stopped for the switchover sequence, the NMI watchdog timer is set
to watchdog_thresh + factor%

A value of 0 has no effect. The default value is 200, meaning that the
NMI watchdog is set to 30s during LPM (based on a 10s watchdog_thresh
value). Once the memory transfer is achieved, the factor is reset to 0.

Setting this value to a high number is like disabling the NMI watchdog
during an LPM.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
