Prarit Bhargava 8dcde9def5 kernel/watchdog.c: do not hardcode CPU 0 as the initial thread
When CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is enabled, the socket containing the
boot cpu can be replaced.  During the hot add event, the message

NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.

is output implying that the NMI watchdog was disabled at some point.  This
is not the case and the message has caused confusion for users of systems
that support the removal of the boot cpu socket.

The watchdog code is coded to assume that cpu 0 is always the first cpu to
initialize the watchdog, and the last to stop its watchdog thread.  That
is not the case for initializing if cpu 0 has been removed and added.  The
removal case has never been correct because the smpboot code will remove
the watchdog threads starting with the lowest cpu number.

This patch adds watchdog_cpus to track the number of cpus with active NMI
watchdog threads so that the first and last thread can be used to set and
clear the value of firstcpu_err.  firstcpu_err is set when the first
watchdog thread is enabled, and cleared when the last watchdog thread is
disabled.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
