Subject: [perf/x86] 097e4311cd: will-it-scale.per_process_ops 7.3% improvement

Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 7.3% improvement of will-it-scale.per_process_ops due to commit:


commit: 097e4311cda952dfb047f2a49d35aa5de500d474 ("perf/x86: Add constraint to create guest LBR event without hw counter")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master


in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 104 threads Skylake with 192G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_task: 100%
	mode: process
	test: signal1
	cpufreq_governor: performance
	ucode: 0x2006906

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
