The parameter was spelled AFFINTIY, which the Linaro test-definitions rt-tests jobs do not declare, so LAVA dropped it and the scripts used the definition default of "0". With THREADS at 2 that pinned both cyclictest threads to CPU0 instead of spreading them over 0-1 as this template intends.

Latency results either side of this change are not comparable.

@sebastianas and @sashalevin please review.

FWIW this currently is set to cover ALL rt tests

The parameter was spelled AFFINTIY, which the Linaro test-definitions
rt-tests jobs do not declare, so LAVA dropped it and the scripts used
the definition default of "0". With THREADS at 2 that pinned both
cyclictest threads to CPU0 instead of spreading them over 0-1 as this
template intends.

cyclictest is the only one of the eleven rt-tests jobs that declares
AFFINITY, so it is the only one whose behaviour changes. Treat its
latency series as having a configuration discontinuity at this commit.
