From 59c6f278bdeea4147e8be92a3ed50a9907e60088 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 19:38:44 +0200 Subject: x86/cpu: Get rid of the show_msr= boot option It is useless as it dumps the MSRs too early BUT(!) we do set MSRs later too. Also, it dumps only BSP MSRs as it gets called only for CPU 0. And the MSR range array would need constant updating anyway, and so on and so on... Oh, and we have msr.ko and msr-tools which are the much better solution anyway. So off it goes...
