0-Day kernel CI tested this branch from performance view, choosing some sub-tests from will-it-scale (detail as below), since we thought if the branch has the impact of fpu ops, will-it-scale should be able to catch it. we also plan to add stress-ng for new round test. could you suggest if any other suitable test suites? and what's the most proper sub-tests in will-it-scale and stress-ng?
