Yeah, I also thought about NMI watchdog emulation while adding
CPU_INTERRUPT_NMI, but it took a bit more effort to understand what
pieces are missing. It should be a fairly useful feature for testing NMI
interaction with new kernel code and maybe even catching nasty races
that way (whenever you happen to work on such things, like I do ;) ).
Also, we need NMI delivery for custom hardware emulation here. So there
might be broader use for CPU_INTERRUPT_NMI in the future.
However, find some experimental watchdog-enabler patch below. It allows
to use nmi_watchdog=1 (i.e. the IO-APIC variant) with Linux, without any
visible regression of normal IRQ delivery (but I only lightly tested it
on top of the kvm-userspace qemu, that's why "experimental").
A performance counter based NMI watchdog is surely doable as well, but
it takes a bit more effort. You would have to decide first what
perf-counter features should be emulated and how cleanly, even if you
only want to (mis-)use it for watchdog services. I'm lacking time for
this right now.
