In newer versions of Hyper-V, the x86/x64 PMU can be virtualized
into guest VMs by explicitly enabling it. Linux kernels are typically
built to automatically enable the hardlockup detector if the PMU is
found. To prevent the possibility of false positives due to the
vagaries of VM scheduling, disable the PMU-based hardlockup detector
by default in a VM on Hyper-V. The hardlockup detector can still be
enabled by overriding the default with the nmi_watchdog=1 option on
the kernel boot line or via sysctl at runtime.
This change mimics the approach taken with KVM guests in
commit 692297d8f9 ("watchdog: introduce the hardlockup_detector_disable()
function").
Linux on ARM64 does not provide a PMU-based hardlockup detector, so
there's no corresponding disable in the Hyper-V init code on ARM64.

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.
