Subject: [lkp-robot] [ipc/sem.c]  deb3c07db9: aim9.shared_memory.ops_per_sec
 8.5% improvement


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 8.5% improvement of aim9.shared_memory.ops_per_sec due to commit:


commit: deb3c07db928d41e24bf3a14db7ae2efb04d1a64 ("ipc/sem.c: avoid using spin_unlock_wait()")
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master

in testcase: aim9
on test machine: 4 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz with 4G memory
with following parameters:

	testtime: 300s
	test: shared_memory
	cpufreq_governor: performance

test-description: Suite IX is the "AIM Independent Resource Benchmark:" the famous synthetic benchmark.
test-url: https://sourceforge.net/projects/aimbench/files/aim-suite9/



Details are as below:
