[ Upstream commit 7c56a8733d0a2a4be2438a7512566e5ce552fccf ] In some circumstances it may be interesting to reconfigure the watchdog from inside the kernel. On PowerPC, this may helpful before and after a LPAR migration (LPM) is initiated, because it implies some latencies, watchdog, and especially NMI watchdog is expected to be triggered during this operation. Reconfiguring the watchdog with a factor, would prevent it to happen too frequently during LPM. Rename lockup_detector_reconfigure() as __lockup_detector_reconfigure() and create a new function lockup_detector_reconfigure() calling __lockup_detector_reconfigure() under the protection of watchdog_mutex.

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.
