watchdog: Quiet down the boot messages
A bunch of bugzillas have complained how noisy the nmi_watchdog
is during boot-up especially with its expected failure cases
(like virt and bios resource contention).
This is my attempt to quiet them down and keep it less confusing
for the end user. What I did is print the message for cpu0 and
save it for future comparisons. If future cpus have an
identical message as cpu0, then don't print the redundant info.
However, if a future cpu has a different message, happily print
that loudly.
Before the change, you would see something like:
..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz stepping 0a
Performance Events: PEBS fmt0+, Core2 events, Intel PMU driver.
... version: 2
... bit width: 40
... generic registers: 2
... value mask: 000000ffffffffff
... max period: 000000007fffffff
... fixed-purpose events: 3
... event mask: 0000000700000003
NMI watchdog enabled, takes one hw-pmu counter.
Booting Node 0, Processors #1
NMI watchdog enabled, takes one hw-pmu counter.
#2
NMI watchdog enabled, takes one hw-pmu counter.
#3 Ok.
NMI watchdog enabled, takes one hw-pmu counter.
Brought up 4 CPUs
Total of 4 processors activated (22607.24 BogoMIPS).
After the change, it is simplified to:
..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz stepping 0a
Performance Events: PEBS fmt0+, Core2 events, Intel PMU driver.
... version: 2
... bit width: 40
... generic registers: 2
... value mask: 000000ffffffffff
... max period: 000000007fffffff
... fixed-purpose events: 3
... event mask: 0000000700000003
NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
Booting Node 0, Processors #1 #2 #3 Ok.
Brought up 4 CPUs
V2: little changes based on Joe Perches' feedback
V3: printk cleanup based on Ingo's feedback; checkpatch fix
V4: keep printk as one long line
V5: Ingo fix ups
