26  * The hangcheck-timer driver uses the TSC to catch delays that
27  * jiffies does not notice.  A timer is set.  When the timer fires, it
28  * checks whether it was delayed and if that delay exceeds a given
29  * margin of error.  The hangcheck_tick module parameter takes the timer
30  * duration in seconds.  The hangcheck_margin parameter defines the
31  * margin of error, in seconds.  The defaults are 60 seconds for the
32  * timer and 180 seconds for the margin of error.  IOW, a timer is set
33  * for 60 seconds.  When the timer fires, the callback checks the
34  * actual duration that the timer waited.  If the duration exceeds the
35  * alloted time and margin (here 60 + 180, or 240 seconds), the machine
36  * is restarted.  A healthy machine will have the duration match the
37  * expected timeout very closely.
