Subject: [tip:x86/core] [x86/retbleed]  80e4c1cd42:
 will-it-scale.per_thread_ops -5.4% regression


Hi Thomas,

though we call it a 'regression' in title by following parent-vs-commit rule
in our reporting, we understand from commit message this is actually a big
improvement if comparing to 'microcode mitigation' which could cause up to
30% performance drop.

we still report it out FYI about possible performance impact to some micro
benchmark.


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -5.4% regression of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit:


commit: 80e4c1cd42fff110bfdae8fce7ac4f22465f9664 ("x86/retbleed: Add X86_FEATURE_CALL_DEPTH")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86/core

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 192 threads 4 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 9242 CPU @ 2.30GHz (Cascade Lake) with 192G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_task: 100%
	mode: thread
	test: futex3
	cpufreq_governor: performance

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.

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.
