Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 1/3] x86/kvm: Silence per-cpu pr_info noise about KVM clocks and steal time
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 20:28:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023002045.2270144-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026102116-motion-upchuck-3417@gregkh>

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

[ Upstream commit f3f26dae05e39f0f286f588669b54d49b61dcfb8 ]

I made the actual CPU bringup go nice and fast... and then Linux spends
half a minute printing stupid nonsense about clocks and steal time for
each of 256 vCPUs. Don't do that. Nobody cares.
