From 5b1586ab064ca24c6a7a6be7a9d0cb9e237ef39a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ashok Raj Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2022 13:08:26 -0800 Subject: x86/microcode/intel: Do not print microcode revision and processor flags collect_cpu_info() is used to collect the current microcode revision and processor flags on every CPU. It had a weird mechanism to try to mimick a "once" functionality in the sense that, that information should be issued only when it is differing from the previous CPU. However (1): the new calling sequence started doing that in parallel: microcode_init() |-> schedule_on_each_cpu(setup_online_cpu) |-> collect_cpu_info() resulting in multiple redundant prints: microcode: sig=0x50654, pf=0x80, revision=0x2006e05 microcode: sig=0x50654, pf=0x80, revision=0x2006e05 microcode: sig=0x50654, pf=0x80, revision=0x2006e05 However (2): dumping this here is not that important because the kernel does not support mixed silicon steppings microcode. Finally! Besides, there is already a pr_info() in microcode_reload_late() that shows both the old and new revisions. What is more, the CPU signature (sig=0x50654) and Processor Flags (pf=0x80) above aren't that useful to the end user, they are available via /proc/cpuinfo and they don't change anyway. Remove the redundant pr_info().
