Subject: [perf/core]  a449d92620:  vm-scalability.median -6.8% regression

Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -6.8% regression of vm-scalability.median due to commit:


commit: a449d926203c733fecddc1fd077cf3d6ecef7f15 ("[PATCH] perf/core: fix corner case in perf_rotate_context()")
url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Song-Liu/perf-core-fix-corner-case-in-perf_rotate_context/20191003-144432


in testcase: vm-scalability
on test machine: 4 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz with 8G memory
with following parameters:

	runtime: 300s
	size: 8T
	test: anon-w-seq
	cpufreq_governor: performance
	ucode: 0x21

test-description: The motivation behind this suite is to exercise functions and regions of the mm/ of the Linux kernel which are of interest to us.
test-url: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/wfg/vm-scalability.git/



If you fix the issue, kindly add following tag
