On my (embedded) systems, the most common cause of hitting the watchdog (pre)timeout is due to thrashing. Diagnosing these problems is hard without knowing the memory state at the point of the watchdog hit. In order to make this information available, add a module parameter to the watchdog pretimeout panic governor to ask it to dump memory info and the OOM task list (using a new helper in the OOM code) before triggering the panic.
