Hi
I compiled the 3.6-rc5 kernel with the same config from 3.5.3 and got
the 15-20% performance drop of PostgreSQL 9.2 on AMD chipsets (880G,
990X).

CentOS 6.3 x86_64
PostgreSQL 9.2
cpufreq scaling_governor - performance

# /etc/init.d/postgresql initdb
# echo "fsync = off" >> /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
# /etc/init.d/postgresql start
# su - postgres
$ psql
# create database pgbench;
# \q

# pgbench -i pgbench && pgbench -c 10 -t 10000 pgbench
tps = 4670.635648 (including connections establishing)
tps = 4673.630345 (excluding connections establishing)[/code]

On kernel 3.5.3:
tps = ~5800

1) Host 1 - 15-20% performance drop
AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor
MB: AMD 880G
RAM: 16 Gb DDR3
SSD: PLEXTOR PX-256M3 256Gb

2) Host 2 - 15-20% performance drop
AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor
MB: AMD 990X
RAM: 32 Gb DDR3
SSD: Corsair Performance Pro 128Gb

3) Host 3 - no problems - same performance
Intel E6300
MB: Intel® P43 / ICH10
RAM: 4 Gb DDR3
HDD: SATA 7200 rpm

Kernel config - http://pastebin.com/cFpg5JSJ

Any ideas?

Thx

Did you tell LKML? It seems like a kind of change that could be found
using git bisect of Linux, albiet laboriously.

Regards, Nikolay.
Like Daniel said to you, I encourage to inform all your findings to the 
LKML to
report all these problems.

Only one las t question: Did you tune the postgresql.conf for every 
system? or
Did you use the default configuration ?

Best wishes

Hi, Daniel

just a pointer to LKML thread:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/14/99

it seems that kernel dev were able to find the root cause
after bisecting kernel source.

Borislav Petkov says that regression disappears
after reverting this commit:

There's some interesting discussion of postgres spinlocks in the thread:

"Yes, postgress performs loads better with it's spinlocks, but due to
that, it necessarily _hates_ preemption."

another one:

quoting the relevant piece:

after that message Borislav Petkov tried to
to exactly that using schedtool(8) (tool to query and set CPU
scheduling parameters)

and he can confirm that performace are "even better than the results with 3.5
(had something around 3900ish on that particular configuration)."

today Jonathan Corbet has posted a good write-up on lwn.net

"How 3.6 nearly broke PostgreSQL"

http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/518329/672d5c68286f9c18/

this is definitely a worth reading piece.

Did you compile the AMD code on the AMD system?

We use a different open-source project that provides chemistry
functionality, and discovered the hard way that the code optimizer is
specific to each chip.  Code compiled on Intel chips would sometimes run
50% slower on AMD chips (and vice versa).  When we compiled the Intel code
using Intel computers and AMD code using AMD computers, the performance
difference disappeared.

There's probably an optimizer flag somewhere that would allow you to force
it to compile for one chip or the other, but by default it seems to pick
the one you're running on.
