Linux内核watchdog-电源网

本文基于RockPi 4A单板Linux 4.4内核介绍RK3399看门狗(watchdog)的调试方法。

一、驱动文件

RK3399 watchdog用的是新思（Synopsys）的IP，在watchdog驱动程序加载时，会注册misc设备，节点为/dev/watchdog。

驱动文件：drivers/watchdog/dw_wdt.c

二、DTS配置

配置文件：arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399.dtsi

watchdog具体配置如下：

watchdog@ff848000 { 
compatible = "snps,dw-wdt"; 
reg = <0x0 0xff848000 0x0 0x100>; 
## watchdog寄存器基地址和映射长度 clocks = <&cru PCLK_WDT>; 
## watchdog时钟 interrupts = <GIC_SPI 120 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH 0>; 
## watchdog中断号和触发方式 
};

三、调试方法

1、关闭看门狗

echo A > watchdog

写入除大写V以外的任意字符，不再喂狗，一段时间后系统会重启。

## drivers/watchdog/watchdog_dev.c
 /* 
* watchdog_write: writes to the watchdog. 
* A write to a watchdog device is defined as a keepalive ping. 
* Writing the magic 'V' sequence allows the next close to turn 
* off the watchdog (if 'nowayout' is not set). 
*/ 

static ssize_t watchdog_write(struct file *file, const char __user *data, 
size_t len, loff_t *ppos) 
{ 
... 
}

例：

## 关闭看门狗后，等待一段时间后重启

root@linaro-alip:/dev# echo A > watchdog 
[ 1502.302824] dw_wdt: unexpected close, system will reboot soon 
root@linaro-alip:/dev# DDR Version 1.20 20190314 ## 系统重启 In 
soft reset

2、打开卡门狗

echo V > watchdog

写入大写V，继续喂狗，系统不再重启。

例：

## 打开看门狗 
root@linaro-alip:/dev# echo V > watchdog 
root@linaro-alip:/dev#

3、CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT

在watchdog驱动程序中，需要关注宏CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT。使用如下：

static bool nowayout = WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT; 
module_param(nowayout, bool, 0); 
MODULE_PARM_DESC(nowayout, "
Watchdog cannot be stopped once started "
 "(default=" __MODULE_STRING(WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT) ")");

如果配置了CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT，通过echo命令写入任何字符，都不会关闭喂狗。

root@ubuntu:/home/run/code/rockchip-bsp/kernel/arch/arm64/configs# git 
diff rockchip_linux_defconfig diff --git a/arch/arm64/configs/rockchip_linux_defconfig b/arch/arm64/configs/rockchip_linux_defconfig 
index cfbc7774a15f..80265bdcd598 100644 
--- a/arch/arm64/configs/rockchip_linux_defconfig 
+++ b/arch/arm64/configs/rockchip_linux_defconfig
CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y 
CONFIG_DW_WATCHDOG=y +
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT=y 
CONFIG_MFD_CROS_EC=y

例：

## 写入任何字符，都不会关闭喂狗 
root@linaro-alip:~# echo A > watchdog 
root@linaro-alip:~#

注：

使用./build/mk-kernel.sh rockpi4a编译内核时，即使修改了rockchip_linux_defconfig文件，编译时，相关配置也不会生效。需要在编译前make distclean或删除内核根目录下的.config文件后，重新编译内核。
