Subject: [lkp-robot] [x86/mm]  c4c3c3c2d0:  will-it-scale.per_process_ops
 -61.0% regression


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -61.0% regression of will-it-scale.per_process_ops due to commit:


commit: c4c3c3c2d00826c88b5c02c20e80704664424b9b ("x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode")
url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Borislav-Petkov/x86-mm-Flush-more-aggressively-in-lazy-TLB-mode/20171011-115901


in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 88 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v4 @ 2.20GHz with 64G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_task: 50%
	mode: process
	test: context_switch1
	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/intel/lkp-tests.git
        cd lkp-tests
        bin/lkp install job.yaml  # job file is attached in this email
        bin/lkp run     job.yaml
