Help text

Say Y here to prefer the buddy hardlockup detector over the perf one.

With the buddy detector, each CPU uses its softlockup hrtimer to check that the next CPU is processing hrtimer interrupts by verifying that a counter is increasing.

This hardlockup detector is useful on systems that don't have an arch-specific hardlockup detector or if resources needed for the hardlockup detector are better used for other things.
