When taking watchdog actions, printing messages, comparing and re-setting wd_smp_last_reset_tb, etc., read TB close to the point of use and under wd_smp_lock or printing lock (if applicable). This should keep timebase mostly monotonic with kernel log messages, and could prevent (in theory) a laggy CPU updating wd_smp_last_reset_tb to something a long way in the past, and causing other CPUs to appear to be stuck. These additional TB reads are all slowpath (lockup has been detected), so performance does not matter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
