bugproxy (bugproxy) wrote : [UBUNTU 20.04] Overhead introduced by PSI

PSI is always enabled in Ubuntu 20.04.
For a test system with 72 guests on 8 cores running a nginx workload this created an overhead of ~1%.

Can we change this back to
CONFIG_PSI=y
CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED=y

so that by default the overhead is not there but for debugging or if needed it can still be enabled via kernel parm?

Maybe there has been a reason for this - so feel free to discuss.
