Subject: [lkp] [x86/platform/UV]  71854cb812:  will-it-scale.per_thread_ops
 -2.3% regression

FYI, we noticed a -2.3% regression of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit:

commit 71854cb812ec23bfe5f63d52217e6b9e6cb901f5 ("x86/platform/UV: Fix support for EFI_OLD_MEMMAP after BIOS callback updates")
https://github.com/0day-ci/linux Alex-Thorlton/x86-platform-UV-Fix-support-for-EFI_OLD_MEMMAP-after-BIOS-callback-updates/20161020-095215

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 12 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU X 980 @ 3.33GHz with 6G memory
with following parameters:

	test: read2
	cpufreq_governor: performance

Will It Scale takes a testcase and runs it from 1 through to n parallel copies to see if the testcase will scale. It builds both a process and threads based test in order to see any differences between the two.



Disclaimer:
Results have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided
for informational purposes only. Any difference in system hardware or software
design or configuration may affect actual performance.

Details are as below:

To reproduce:

        cd lkp-tests
        bin/lkp install job.yaml  # job file is attached in this email
        bin/lkp run     job.yaml
