Subject: [tglx-devel:locking/futex] [x86/vdso] 698a86a85c: stress-ng.priv-instr.ops_per_sec 5.8% improvement
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 13:03:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202605271217.16dfca4d-lkp@intel.com> (raw)
Hello,
kernel test robot noticed a 5.8% improvement of stress-ng.priv-instr.ops_per_sec on:
commit: 698a86a85c4db4b800faa8a2890810ff9cec2f79 ("x86/vdso: Implement __vdso_futex_robust_try_unlock()")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git locking/futex
testcase: stress-ng
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_threads: 100%
testtime: 60s
test: priv-instr
cpufreq_governor: performance
we notice the config diff which seems reasonable:
