Subject: [LKP] [x86/pti/64] 86635715ee: will-it-scale.per_thread_ops 4.1%
improvement
Greeting,
FYI, we noticed a 4.1% improvement of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit:
commit: 86635715ee4228ded59f662dab36e9732b9c978f ("x86/pti/64: Remove the SYSCALL64 entry trampoline")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86/pti
in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 80 threads Skylake with 64G memory
with following parameters:
nr_task: 100%
mode: thread
test: sched_yield
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
