Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: Reduce verbosity of "TSC is reliable" message
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:33:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <adazl8l2swc.fsf@cisco.com> (raw)

On modern systems, the kernel prints the message

    Skipping synchronization checks as TSC is reliable.

once for every non-boot CPU.  This gets kind of ridiculous on huge
systems; for example, on a 64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:

    $ dmesg | grep 'TSC is reliable' | wc
         63     567    4221

There's no point to doing this for every CPU, since the code is just
checking the boot CPU anyway, so change this to a printk_once() to make
the message appears only once.
