Peter Anvin" Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, dimm Subject: [PATCH 0/3] x86, ucode-amd: trim verbosity Message-ID: <20091110110601.GG30802@alberich.amd.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Following patches make log messages of microcode_amd more terse. Especially in conjunction with Dmitry's planned changes to summarize patch level information this will help to trim messages to the necessary minimum on systems with many CPUs. Example (without patch 1 and 2) of a 48 CPU system: microcode: CPU0: patch_level=0x10000b5 platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin microcode: CPU0: cpu revision not listed in equivalent cpu table microcode: CPU0: cpu revision not listed in equivalent cpu table microcode: CPU1: patch_level=0x10000b5 platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin microcode: CPU1: cpu revision not listed in equivalent cpu table microcode: CPU1: cpu revision not listed in equivalent cpu table ... microcode: CPU46: patch_level=0x10000b5 platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin microcode: CPU46: cpu revision not listed in equivalent cpu table microcode: CPU46: cpu revision not listed in equivalent cpu table microcode: CPU47: patch_level=0x10000b5 platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin microcode: CPU47: cpu revision not listed in equivalent cpu table microcode: CPU47: cpu revision not listed in equivalent cpu table Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 , Peter Oruba This is a lot of unnecessary noise. With patches 1 and 2 applied this is shortened to: platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin microcode: CPU0: patch_level=0x10000b5 microcode: CPU1: patch_level=0x10000b5 ... microcode: CPU46: patch_level=0x10000b5 microcode: CPU47: patch_level=0x10000b5 Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 , Peter Oruba And with Dmitry's patches this will be trimmed down even further. Note: Patch 3 is just a conversion from printk to pr_ macros. Patches are against tip/master. Please apply. Thanks, Andreas
