Subject: [lkp-robot] [x86/mm/gup]  e585513b76:  will-it-scale.per_thread_ops
 -6.9% regression


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -6.9% regression of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit:


commit: e585513b76f7b05d08ca3fb250fed11f6ba46ee5 ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic get_user_page_fast() implementation")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 4 -m 5G
with following parameters:

	test: futex2

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 qemu -k <bzImage> job-script  # job-script is attached in this email
