Subject: [linus:master] [sched/fair]  5e963f2bd4:
 will-it-scale.per_thread_ops 2.5% improvement


hi, Peter Zijlstra,

Yu helped review this report. though maybe not so valueable like those
hackbench/netperf report for EEVDF which has huge performance difference,
we report this just FYI since we got pretty stable results even by rebuilding
kernel and more reruns.


Hello,

kernel test robot noticed a 2.5% improvement of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops on:


commit: 5e963f2bd4654a202a8a05aa3a86cb0300b10e6c ("sched/fair: Commit to EEVDF")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

testcase: will-it-scale
test machine: 104 threads 2 sockets (Skylake) with 192G memory
parameters:

	nr_task: 100%
	mode: thread
	test: context_switch1
	cpufreq_governor: performance



Details are as below:
