This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/4.15.0-179.188 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

I assume this means the scheduler is making suboptimal decisions about where to place/move processes. [Test Case] On a 128 core Kunpeng 920 system, observe that half the CPUs are missing a 3rd level scheduling domain: ubuntu@d06-4:~$ grep domain2 /proc/schedstat | wc -l 128 ubuntu@d06-4:~$ grep domain3 /proc/schedstat | wc -l 64 ubuntu@d06-4:~$ [What Could Go Wrong] This changes the code used for populating sched domains, so it could potentially break on other systems, potentially leading to poor scheduling characteristics (higher latencies, lower overall throughput etc).
