Subject: [signal]  6c3118c321:  will-it-scale.per_thread_ops 13.2% improvement


(for previous report "[x86/signal]  3aac3ebea0:  will-it-scale.per_thread_ops
-11.9% regression" [1] which this 6c3118c321 is targeting for, we found we only
tested tglx’s diff shown in here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87bl1s357p.ffs@tglx/,
but didn't test this patch, so still send out this report FYI

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211207012128.GA16074@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/)

Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 13.2% improvement of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit:


commit: 6c3118c32129b4197999a8928ba776bcabd0f5c4 ("signal: Skip the altstack update when not needed")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 144 threads 4 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8890 v3 @ 2.50GHz with 512G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_task: 100%
	mode: thread
	test: signal1
	cpufreq_governor: performance
	ucode: 0x16

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
        sudo 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
        sudo bin/lkp run generated-yaml-file

        # if come across any failure that blocks the test,
        # please remove ~/.lkp and /lkp dir to run from a clean state.
