Subject: Unreliable will-it-scale context_switch1 test on 0day bot

Hi,

I pointed out an issue with the will-it-scale context_switch1 test run by the 0day bot on
October 7, 2020, and got no reply.

Until this issue is solved, the results of those tests are basically pure noise when run on
SMT hardware:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1183082664.11002.1602082242482.JavaMail.zimbra@efficios.com/

Who is maintaining those tests and the 0day bot ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
