Subject: [lkp-robot] [amd64]  122b05ddf5:  will-it-scale.per_process_ops
 12.8% improvement


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 12.8% improvement of will-it-scale.per_process_ops due to commit:


commit: 122b05ddf506e637336dcf64b5a129825f7bf6d4 ("amd64: get rid of zeroing")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 48 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz with 64G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_task: 100%
	test: poll1
	cpufreq_governor: performance

test-description: 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.
test-url: https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale



Details are as below:

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