  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 paramter 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.
