From: kernel test robot

Hello,

kernel test robot noticed a -2.0% regression of stress-ng.seccomp.ops_per_sec on:


commit: f18b03fabaa9b7c80e80b72a621f481f0d706ae0 ("bpf: Implement BPF exceptions")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

testcase: stress-ng
test machine: 36 threads 1 sockets Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10980XE CPU @ 3.00GHz (Cascade Lake) with 128G memory
parameters:

nr_threads: 1
disk: 1HDD
testtime: 60s
fs: ext4
class: os
test: seccomp
cpufreq_governor: performance




If you fix the issue in a separate patch/commit (i.e. not just a new version of
the same patch/commit), kindly add following tags
