Changes in v1 -> v2: 1. Implement a new function patch_text_set_nosync() to be used in bpf_arch_text_invalidate(). The implementation in v1 called patch_text_nosync() in a loop and it was bad as it would call flush_icache_range() for every word making it really slow. This was found by running the test_tag selftest which would take forever to complete. Here is some data to prove the V2 fixes the problem: Without this series: root@rv-selftester:~/src/kselftest/bpf# time ./test_tag test_tag: OK (40945 tests) real 7m47.562s user 0m24.145s sys 6m37.064s With this series applied: root@rv-selftester:~/src/selftest/bpf# time ./test_tag test_tag: OK (40945 tests) real 7m29.472s user 0m25.865s sys 6m18.401s BPF programs currently consume a page each on RISCV. For systems with many BPF programs, this adds significant pressure to instruction TLB. High iTLB pressure usually causes slow down for the whole system. Song Liu introduced the BPF prog pack allocator[1] to mitigate the above issue. It packs multiple BPF programs into a single huge page. It is currently only enabled for the x86_64 BPF JIT. I enabled this allocator on the ARM64 BPF JIT[2]. It is being reviewed now. This patch series enables the BPF prog pack allocator for the RISCV BPF JIT. This series needs a patch[3] from the ARM64 series to work. ====================================================== Performance Analysis of prog pack allocator on RISCV64 ====================================================== Test setup: =========== Host machine: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Qemu Version: QEMU emulator version 8.0.3 (Debian 1:8.0.3+dfsg-1) u-boot-qemu Version: 2023.07+dfsg-1 opensbi Version: 1.3-1 To test the performance of the BPF prog pack allocator on RV, a stresser tool[4] linked below was built. This tool loads 8 BPF programs on the system and triggers 5 of them in an infinite loop by doing system calls. The runner script starts 20 instances of the above which loads 8*20=160 BPF programs on the system, 5*20=100 of which are being constantly triggered. The script is passed a command which would be run in the above environment. The script was run with following perf command: ./run.sh "perf stat -a \ -e iTLB-load-misses \ -e dTLB-load-misses \ -e dTLB-store-misses \ -e instructions \ --timeout 60000" The output of the above command is discussed below before and after enabling the BPF prog pack allocator. The tests were run on qemu-system-riscv64 with 8 cpus, 16G memory. The rootfs was created using Bjorn's riscv-cross-builder[5] docker container linked below. Results ======= Before enabling prog pack allocator: ------------------------------------ Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 4939048 iTLB-load-misses 5468689 dTLB-load-misses 465234 dTLB-store-misses 1441082097998 instructions 60.045791200 seconds time elapsed After enabling prog pack allocator: ----------------------------------- Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 3430035 iTLB-load-misses 5008745 dTLB-load-misses 409944 dTLB-store-misses 1441535637988 instructions 60.046296600 seconds time elapsed Improvements in metrics ======================= It was expected that the iTLB-load-misses would decrease as now a single huge page is used to keep all the BPF programs compared to a single page for each program earlier. -------------------------------------------- The improvement in iTLB-load-misses: -30.5 % -------------------------------------------- I repeated this expriment more than 100 times in different setups and the improvement was always greater than 30%. This patch series is boot tested on the Starfive VisionFive 2 board[6]. The performance analysis was not done on the board because it doesn't expose iTLB-load-misses, etc. The stresser program was run on the board to test the loading and unloading of BPF programs [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220204185742.271030-1-song@kernel.org/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230626085811.3192402-1-puranjay12@gmail.com/ [3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230626085811.3192402-2-puranjay12@gmail.com/ [4] https://github.com/puranjaymohan/BPF-Allocator-Bench [5] https://github.com/bjoto/riscv-cross-builder [6] https://www.starfivetech.com/en/site/boards Puranjay Mohan (3): riscv: extend patch_text_nosync() for multiple pages riscv: implement a memset like function for text bpf, riscv: use prog pack allocator in the BPF JIT arch/riscv/include/asm/patch.h | 1 + arch/riscv/kernel/patch.c | 113 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit.h | 3 + arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c | 56 +++++++++++++--- arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_core.c | 113 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 5 files changed, 255 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-)
