SubjectRe: sched : performance regression 24% between 4.4rc4 and 4.3 kernel
From
Hi Peter,

you are right the kernel 4.4-rc4 has it already fixed. It seems I
will need to redo the bisecting once again, starting with
2a595721a1fa6b684c1c818f379bef834ac3d65e

git bisect start -- kernel/sched
git bisect bad v4.4-rc4
git bisect good 2b49d84b259fc18e131026e5d38e7855352f71b9
Bisecting: 32 revisions left to test after this (roughly 5 steps)
[da7142e2ed735e1c1bef5a757dc55de35c65fbd6] sched/core: Simplify
preempt_count tests

I will let you know the outcome.

Jirka
