I was doing a bunch of testing prior to OSPM in case folks wanted to
discuss the results. Leaving the results of SHARED_RUNQ runs from a
recent-ish tip below.
tl;dr
- I haven't dug deeper into the regressions but the most prominent one
seems to be hackbench with lower number of groups but the picture
flips with higher number of groups.
Other benchmarks behave more or less similar to the tip. I'll leave the
full results below:
o System Details
- 3rd Generation EPYC System
- 2 x 64C/128T
- NPS1 mode
o Kernels
tip: tip:sched/core at commit 8cec3dd9e593
("sched/core: Simplify code by removing
duplicate #ifdefs")
shared_runq: tip + this series

I'll take a deeper look at the regressions soon. I'll update the thread
if I find anything interesting in the meantime.
