Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -2.1% regression of will-it-scale.per_process_ops due to commit:


commit: b77491648e6eb2f26b6edf5eaea859adc17f4dcc ("perf x86: Infrastructure for exposing an Uncore unit to PMON mapping")
https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/roman-sudarikov-linux-intel-com/perf-x86-Exposing-IO-stack-to-IO-PMON-mapping-through-sysfs/20200118-075508
Seems to be spurious bisect. I don't think that commit could change
anything performance related.

Hi Andi,

I commented out some lines in arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.c and will-it-scale.per_process_ops increased.

commit:
v5.4
b77491648e ("perf x86: Infrastructure for exposing an Uncore unit to PMON mapping")
f33fe1b258 ("test")


 v5.4 b77491648e6eb2f26b6edf5eae f33fe1b258b2a4b2fc97600b2b testcase/testparams/testbox
