Hi, Got the following tip-bit about this patch performance impact. Cheers, Longman ---------------------------------------------------- Greeting, FYI, we noticed a 125.4% improvement of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit: commit: a150752454e4aea37a44d7eb5baf5a538bcad6fc ("locking/rwsem: Enable readers spinning on writer") url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Waiman-Long/locking-rwsem-Enable-reader-optimistic-spinning/20170602-071830 in testcase: will-it-scale on test machine: 8 threads Ivy Bridge with 16G memory with following parameters: nr_task: 100% mode: thread test: malloc1 cpufreq_governor: performance test-description: Will It Scale takes a testcase and runs it from 1 through to n parallel copies to see if the testcase will scale. It builds both a process and threads based test in order to see any differences between the two. test-url: https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale Details are as below: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> To reproduce: git clone https://github.com/01org/lkp-tests.git cd lkp-tests bin/lkp install job.yaml # job file is attached in this email bin/lkp run job.yaml testcase/path_params/tbox_group/run: will-it-scale/100%-thread-malloc1-performance/lkp-ivb-d01 f25a7e717bfb87ab a150752454e4aea37a44d7eb5b ---------------- -------------------------- %stddev change %stddev \ | \ 6092 ± 12% 125% 13734 will-it-scale.per_thread_ops 14641877 ± 12% 126% 33029197 will-it-scale.time.minor_page_faults 15.03 ± 13% 57% 23.66 ± 12% will-it-scale.time.user_time 40731914 ± 12% 46% 59414926 ± 5% will-it-scale.time.voluntary_context_switches 11954 ± 18% 28% 15275 ± 11% will-it-scale.time.maximum_resident_set_size 142 22% 174 will-it-scale.time.percent_of_cpu_this_job_got 414 21% 502 will-it-scale.time.system_time 539104 -78% 117329 ± 13% will-it-scale.time.involuntary_context_switches 31904937 ± 13% 55% 49519854 ± 5% interrupts.CAL:Function_call_interrupts 129303 ± 10% 48% 191426 ± 4% vmstat.system.in 297417 ± 11% 42% 421902 ± 4% vmstat.system.cs 25.73 26.28 turbostat.CorWatt 31.60 32.21 turbostat.PkgWatt 22.67 19% 27.03 turbostat.%Busy 837 20% 1006 turbostat.Avg_MHz 1271 ± 36% 6e+04 56891 ± 74% latency_stats.max.call_rwsem_down_read_failed.__do_page_fault.do_page_fault.page_fault 2249 ± 19% 5e+04 52972 ± 86% latency_stats.max.call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable.vm_mmap_pgoff.SyS_mmap_pgoff.SyS_mmap.entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath 2264 ± 19% 5e+04 52187 ± 88% latency_stats.max.call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable.vm_munmap.SyS_munmap.entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath 9934 ± 25% 5e+04 57497 ± 75% latency_stats.max.max 14956191 ± 12% 123% 33343207 perf-stat.page-faults 14956191 ± 12% 123% 33343206 perf-stat.minor-faults 2.266e+11 ± 4% 46% 3.318e+11 perf-stat.branch-instructions 3.231e+11 ± 3% 39% 4.485e+11 perf-stat.dTLB-loads 1.155e+12 ± 3% 38% 1.593e+12 perf-stat.instructions 0.02 ± 11% 103% 0.05 ± 6% perf-stat.dTLB-store-miss-rate% 86305241 ± 8% 74% 1.502e+08 ± 6% perf-stat.dTLB-store-misses 0.56 14% 0.64 perf-stat.ipc 2.057e+12 21% 2.481e+12 perf-stat.cpu-cycles 3.674e+11 ± 3% -15% 3.136e+11 perf-stat.dTLB-stores 0.76 ± 3% -32% 0.51 ± 4% perf-stat.branch-miss-rate% 1869 ± 5% 30% 2432 ± 8% perf-stat.instructions-per-iTLB-miss 6.014e+10 ± 8% -48% 3.146e+10 ± 5% perf-stat.cache-references 0.29 ± 6% -17% 0.24 ± 12% perf-stat.dTLB-load-miss-rate% 90408163 ± 11% 42% 1.283e+08 ± 4% perf-stat.context-switches 182383 ± 13% -55% 82982 ± 49% perf-stat.cpu-migrations [*] bisect-good sample [O] bisect-bad sample Disclaimer: Results have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided for informational purposes only.
