This change is definitely not causing more network traffic > 8200 -33.4% 5459 ± 35% > interrupts.CPU27.NMI:Non-maskable_interrupts > 8200 -33.4% 5459 ± 35% > interrupts.CPU27.PMI:Performance_monitoring_interrupts > 8199 -33.4% 5459 ± 35% > interrupts.CPU28.NMI:Non-maskable_interrupts > 8199 -33.4% 5459 ± 35% > interrupts.CPU28.PMI:Performance_monitoring_interrupts > 6148 ± 33% -11.2% 5459 ± 35% > interrupts.CPU29.NMI:Non-maskable_interrupts > 6148 ± 33% -11.2% 5459 ± 35% > interrupts.CPU29.PMI:Performance_monitoring_interrupts > 4287 ± 8% +33.6% 5730 ± 15% > interrupts.CPU49.CAL:Function_call_interrupts > 6356 ± 19% +49.6% 9509 ± 19% > interrupts.CPU97.CAL:Function_call_interrupts Neither does it increase the number of function calls > 407730 ± 8% +37.5% 560565 ± 7% perf-stat.i.dTLB-load-misses > 415959 ± 8% +40.4% 583928 ± 7% perf-stat.ps.dTLB-load-misses And this massive increase does not make sense either. Confused. Thanks, tglx
