Subject: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH 5/8] x86: replace per-AP bringup prints with a single summary line
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 14:08:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609140901.95727-6-gmazz@amazon.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609140901.95727-1-gmazz@amazon.de>
Remove the per-AP "CPU %d online" printf from ap_online() and the
per-CPU "enabling apic" printf from enable_apic(). Replace them
with a single "smp: %d CPUs online" message printed once after all
APs have come up.
On systems with many CPUs, the serial lock contention from per-AP
prints delays bringup long enough to trigger platform watchdogs.
A single summary line provides the same information without O(ncpus)
serial transactions during bringup.
