Subject: [sched,debug]  3b87f136f8:  stress-ng.procfs.ops_per_sec -31.7%
 regression



Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -31.7% regression of stress-ng.procfs.ops_per_sec due to commit:


commit: 3b87f136f8fccddf7da016ab7d04bb3cf9b180f0 ("sched,debug: Convert sysctl sched_domains to debugfs")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched/core


in testcase: stress-ng
on test machine: 96 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6252 CPU @ 2.10GHz with 192G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_threads: 10%
	disk: 1HDD
	testtime: 60s
	fs: ext4
	class: os
	test: procfs
	cpufreq_governor: performance
	ucode: 0x5003006
