Subject: [lkp-robot] [rcu]  c654f4e816:  will-it-scale.per_thread_ops -5.8%
 regression


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -5.8% regression of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit:


commit: c654f4e8165061a92787f89f1ad3f3bda6145cbf ("rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig options")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git dev.2017.05.16b

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 16 threads Intel(R) Atom(R) CPU 3958 @ 2.00GHz with 64G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_task: 100%
	mode: thread
	test: open2
	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:

To reproduce:

        git clone https://github.com/01org/lkp-tests.git
        cd lkp-tests
        bin/lkp install job.yaml  # job file is attached in this email
        bin/lkp run     job.yaml
