Subject: [sched/core] 5d7d605642:  will-it-scale.per_thread_ops 2.0%
 improvement

Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 2.0% improvement of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit:


commit: 5d7d605642b28a5911198a405a6072f091bfbee6 ("sched/core: Optimize pick_next_task()")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 88 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v4 @ 2.20GHz with 128G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_task: 16
	mode: thread
	test: sched_yield
	cpufreq_governor: performance
	ucode: 0xb000038

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
