[PATCH 05/17] x86/microcode: Issue update message only once

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Wed Feb 03 2016 - 06:44:24 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

This is especially annoying on large boxes:

x86: Booting SMP configuration:
.... node #0, CPUs: #1
microcode: CPU1 microcode updated early to revision 0x428, date = 2014-05-29
#2
microcode: CPU2 microcode updated early to revision 0x428, date = 2014-05-29
#3
...

so issue the update message only once.

$ grep microcode /proc/cpuinfo

shows whether every core got updated properly.
