softlockup检测(watchdog)原理(用于检测系统调度是否正常)

softlockup(watchdog)用于检测系统调度是否正常，即软锁的情况，当发生softlockup时，内核不能调度，但还能响应中断，对用户的表现可能为：能ping通，但无法登陆系统，无法进行正常操作。
其基本原理为：为每个CPU启动一个内核线程(watchdog/x)，此线程为优先级最高的实时线程，在该线程得到调度时，会更新相应的计数(时间戳)，同时会启动定时器，当定时器到期时检查相应的时间戳，如果超过指定时间，都没有更新，则说明这段时间内都没有发生调度(因为此线程优先级最高)，则打印相应告警或根据配置可以进入panic流程。
