This is why I CC'd the maintainer of the will-it-scale github project, Anton Blanchard.
My main intent is to report this issue to him, but I have not heard back from him yet.
Is this project maintained ? Let me try to add his ozlabs.org address in CC.

When you say that you bind the workload to a specific CPU, is that done
outside of the will-it-scale testsuite, thus limiting the entire testsuite
to a single CPU, or you expect that internally the will-it-scale context-switch1
test gets affined to a single specific CPU/core/hardware thread through use of
hwloc ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
