yes, it's from bogo ops/s (real time).
one thing we want to mention is the test runs unstably upon e1d3422c95.
as below, %stddev for it reaches 67%.
not very stable for parent, either, but 7% is much better.

---------------- ---------------------------
%stddev %change %stddev
\ | \
4115705 ± 7% -98.9% 45562 ± 67% stress-ng.syscall.ops_per_sec
below is the raw data of 6 runs for e1d3422c95 in our tests.
"stress-ng.syscall.ops_per_sec": [
12892.83,
98074.65,
65206.14,
11507.57,
55012.11,
30684.44
],
take that 55012.11 as example, (part of) the stress-ng output is:
stress-ng: metrc: [6604] stressor bogo ops real time usr time sys time bogo ops/s bogo ops/s CPU used per RSS Max
stress-ng: metrc: [6604] (secs) (secs) (secs) (real time) (usr+sys time) instance (%) (KB)
stress-ng: metrc: [6604] syscall 8878630 161.39 9.86 31058.22 55012.11 285.78 85.94 10512
another thing we want to mention is we also notice a WARNING for this commit in
another test, so we reported
"[herbert-cryptodev-2.6:master] [rhashtable] e1d3422c95: WARNING:at_mm/util.c:#__kvmalloc_node_noprof"
in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/202412311213.4e69877e-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/
not sure if it's related or could supply any hint?
