Subject: [kentry]  5c61d03b2b:  will-it-scale.per_thread_ops -5.5% regression



Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -5.5% regression of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit:


commit: 5c61d03b2b823992b0e8eba73d2be61947f00323 ("kentry: Simplify the common syscall API")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git x86/kentry


in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 88 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6238M CPU @ 2.10GHz with 128G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_task: 50%
	mode: thread
	test: lseek2
	cpufreq_governor: performance
	ucode: 0x5003006

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



If you fix the issue, kindly add following tag

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 split-job --compatible job.yaml  # generate the yaml file for lkp run
        bin/lkp run                    generated-yaml-file
