Public bug reported: [Impact]
When running erlang benchmark: https://github.com/jessestimpson/ets_load_benchmark_public.git Spwan more processes, the performance drops rapidly compare to 1 process, this issue was introduced on 5.18 kernel, 5.17 doesn't have this issue.

[Test Plan] Use the following steps can easily reproduce the issue: sudo apt install erlang-base -y git clone https://github.com/jessestimpson/ets_load_benchmark_public.git cd ets_load_benchmark_public erlc ets_load_benchmark.erl erl -noshell -s ets_load_benchmark -eval 'init:stop().' [Where problems could occur] These patches fix the cpuidle governor issue and are verified by upstream, if something really goes wrong, it could only affect cpu idle policy and cause more power consumption. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2122006 Title: Performance degrades rapidly when spawning more processes to run benchmark Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: [Impact] When running erlang benchmark: https://github.com/jessestimpson/ets_load_benchmark_public.git Spwan more processes, the performance drops rapidly compare to 1 process, this issue was introduced on 5.18 kernel, 5.17 doesn't have this issue.
