Subject: [ RFC, PATCH - 1/2, v2 ] x86-microcode: refactor microcode output
 messages


[ resending ]


Hi,


this is in response to Mike's patch "Limit the number of microcode
messages".

What's about the following (yet preliminary and not thoroughly tested)
approach?

patch-1:

simplify 'struct ucode_cpu_info' and related functional logic.


patch-2: 

reduce a number of similar 'microcode version' messages by printing a
single message for all cpus with equal microcode version, like:

(1)
[   96.589437] microcode: original microcode versions...
[   96.589451] microcode: CPU0-1: sig=0x6f2, pf=0x20, revision=0x57

(2)
[   96.603176] microcode: microcode versions after update...
[   96.603193] microcode: CPU0-1: sig=0x6f2, pf=0x20, revision=0x57


The new approach is used in microcode_init() [ i.e. when loading a
module ] and microcode_write(), that's when we update all the cpus at
once.

reload_for_cpu() and update-all-cpus-upon-resuming() use the old
approach - a new microcode version is being reported upon applying it.

The latter might employ the similar 'report-for-all' approach as above
but that would somewhat complicate the logic. Anyways, there are plenty
of per-cpu messages upon system resuming so having some more
update-microcode related ones won't harm that muc, I guess :-)
