DW Watchdog can rise an interrupt in case if IRQ request mode is enabled and timer reaches the zero value. In this case the IRQ lane is left pending until either the next watchdog kick event (watchdog restart) or until the WDT_EOI register is read or the device/system reset. This interface can be used to implement the pre-timeout functionality optionally provided by the Linux kernel watchdog devices. IRQ mode provides a two stages timeout interface. It means the IRQ is raised when the counter reaches zero, while the system reset occurs only after subsequent timeout if the timer restart is not performed. Due to this peculiarity the pre-timeout value is actually set to the achieved hardware timeout, while the real watchdog timeout is considered to be twice as much of it. This applies a significant limitation on the pre-timeout values, so current implementation supports either zero value, which disables the pre-timeout events, or non-zero values, which imply the pre-timeout to be at least half of the current watchdog timeout. Note that we ask the interrupt controller to detect the rising-edge pre-timeout interrupts to prevent the high-level-IRQs flood, since if the pre-timeout happens, the IRQ lane will be left pending until it's cleared by the timer restart.

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.
