Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -53.4% regression of will-it-scale.per_process_ops due to commit:
commit: 06c4d00466eb374841bc84c39af19b3161ff6917 ("[patch 09/22] cpufreq: Convert to new X86 CPU match macros")
url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Thomas-Gleixner/x86-devicetable-Move-x86-specific-macro-out-of-generic-code/20200321-031729
base: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git linux-next

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 4 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz with 8G memory
with following parameters:

drivers/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.c change missed the terminator,
perhaps it's a culprit, because I don't believe removing dups and
reordering lines may affect this.
Can you restore terminator there and re-test?


I have retested with the change, but it has no effect on the performance.
