Using a jiffies timer creates a dependency on the tick_do_timer_cpu incrementing jiffies. If that CPU has locked up and jiffies is not incrementing, the watchdog heartbeat timer for all CPUs stops and creates false positives and confusing warnings on local CPUs, and also causes the SMP detector to stop, so the root cause is never detected. Fix this by using hrtimer based timers for the watchdog heartbeat, like the generic kernel hardlockup detector. Cc: Gautham R.

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.
