Please enable CONFIG_INTEL_OC_WATCHDOG=m
(drivers/watchdog/intel_oc_wdt.c,
mainline since 6.16) for amd64. Intel PCHs expose the over-clocking
watchdog
via ACPI INT3F0D/INTC1099. On boards where the legacy TCO timer does not
run
(e.g. MSI Cubi 5, ADL-U, ACPI INTC1099 present), it is the only hardware
watchdog available to the OS.
Observed on Debian 13 with linux-image-7.2.6+deb13-amd64
(trixie-backports):
iTCO_wdt loads, but TCO_RLD never counts down and the machine does not
reset
after a kernel panic with kernel.panic=0. Building intel_oc_wdt.c from
linux-source-7.2 as an out-of-tree module and testing it on the same
machine
gives a hardware reset about 60 s after feeding stops, both with a
frozen
watchdog feeder and after a kernel panic.
The driver only depends on the watchdog core (X86 && ACPI && HAS_IOPORT,
select WATCHDOG_CORE).
