13  * The hangcheck-timer driver uses the TSC to catch delays that
14  * jiffies does not notice.  A timer is set.  When the timer fires, it
15  * checks whether it was delayed and if that delay exceeds a given
16  * margin of error.  The hangcheck_tick module parameter takes the timer
17  * duration in seconds.  The hangcheck_margin parameter defines the
18  * margin of error, in seconds.  The defaults are 60 seconds for the
19  * timer and 180 seconds for the margin of error.  IOW, a timer is set
20  * for 60 seconds.  When the timer fires, the callback checks the
21  * actual duration that the timer waited.  If the duration exceeds the
22  * allotted time and margin (here 60 + 180, or 240 seconds), the machine
23  * is restarted.  A healthy machine will have the duration match the
24  * expected timeout very closely.
