Subject: [linus:master] [x86/acpi] ec9aedb2aa: aim9.exec_test.ops_per_sec
2.4% improvement
Hello,
kernel test robot noticed a 2.4% improvement of aim9.exec_test.ops_per_sec on:
commit: ec9aedb2aa1ab7ac420c00b31f5edc5be15ec167 ("x86/acpi: Ignore invalid x2APIC entries")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
testcase: aim9
test machine: 48 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz (Ivy Bridge-EP) with 112G memory
parameters:
testtime: 300s
test: exec_test
cpufreq_governor: performance
besides below detailed comparison, we also noticed some difference from dmesg.
for this commit ec9aedb2aa:
[ 1.311075][ T0] smpboot: Allowing 48 CPUs, 0 hotplug CPUs
for parent:
[ 1.311098][ T0] smpboot: Allowing 168 CPUs, 120 hotplug CPUs
Details are as below:
