From: Huang Ying
Date: Sun Feb 08 2015 - 22:27:44 EST

FYI, we noticed the below changes on

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched/core
commit 638476007d13534b2ed4134bf0279ef44071140b ("sched/fair: Fix the dealing with decay_count in __synchronize_entity_decay()")

It appears that your patch cause CPU usage increased a little, so that unixbench score increased.
