Subject: [PATCH] selftests/seccomp: Pin benchmark to single CPU
Date: Tue,  6 Feb 2024 01:56:47 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240206095642.work.502-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

The seccomp benchmark test (for validating the benefit of bitmaps) can
be sensitive to scheduling speed, so pin the process to a single CPU,
which appears to significantly improve reliability.
