[PATCH 2/7] powerpc/traps: Return early in show_signal_msg()

[LEROY Christophe]

Murilo Opsfelder Araujo <muriloo at linux.ibm.com> a écrit :

> Modify logic of show_signal_msg() to return early, if possible.  Replace
> printk_ratelimited() by printk() and a default rate limit burst to limit
> displaying unhandled signals messages.

Can you explain more the benefits of this change ?
