Subject: [linux-next:master] [randomize_kstack] a96ef5848c: will-it-scale.per_thread_ops 7.7% improvement
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 16:41:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202603311659.6aa92f2c-lkp@intel.com> (raw)
Hello,
kernel test robot noticed a 7.7% improvement of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops on:
commit: a96ef5848cb096226bf6aff31a90d8b136d99b71 ("randomize_kstack: Unify random source across arches")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master
testcase: will-it-scale
config: x86_64-rhel-9.4
compiler: gcc-14
test machine: 192 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) 6740E CPU @ 2.4GHz (Sierra Forest) with 256G memory
parameters:
nr_task: 100%
mode: thread
test: lseek1
cpufreq_governor: performance
In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests:
+------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
