// Package watchdog is responsible for monitoring the sentry for tasks that may
// potentially be stuck or looping inderterminally causing hard to debug hungs in
// the untrusted app.
//
// It works by periodically querying all tasks to check whether they are in user
// mode (RunUser), kernel mode (RunSys), or blocked in the kernel (OffCPU). Tasks
// that have been running in kernel mode for a long time in the same syscall
// without blocking are considered stuck and are reported.
//
// When a stuck task is detected, the watchdog can take one of the following actions:
//  1. LogWarning: Logs a warning message followed by a stack dump of all goroutines.
//     If a tasks continues to be stuck, the message will repeat every minute, unless
//     a new stuck task is detected
//  2. Panic: same as above, followed by panic()
