Remote processors can be stuck in a loop, and may not be recoverable if they do not have a built-in watchdog. The watchdog implementation for OMAP remote processors uses external gptimers that can be used to interrupt both the Linux host as well as the remote processor. Each remote processor is responsible for refreshing the timer during normal behavior - during OS task scheduling or entering the idle loop properly. During a watchdog condition (executing a tight loop causing no scheduling), the host processor gets interrupts and schedules a recovery for the corresponding remote processor. The remote processor may also get interrupted to be able to print a back trace. A menuconfig option has also been added to enable/disable the Watchdog functionality, with the default as disabled.
