Subject: [lkp-robot] [locking/x86]  450cbdd012: will-it-scale.per_process_ops
 16.1% improvement


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 16.1% improvement of will-it-scale.per_process_ops due to commit:


commit: 450cbdd0125cfa5d7bbf9e2a6b6961cc48d29730 ("locking/x86: Use LOCK ADD for smp_mb() instead of MFENCE")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 32 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 0 @ 2.70GHz with 64G memory
with following parameters:

	test: futex3
	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
