Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/3] bpf, arm64: use BPF prog pack allocator in BPF JIT

BPF programs currently consume a page each on ARM64. 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.

This patch series enables the BPF prog pack allocator for the ARM64 BPF JIT.

====================================================
Performance Analysis of prog pack allocator on ARM64
====================================================

To test the performance of the BPF prog pack allocator on ARM64, a stresser
tool[2] 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.

In the above environment we try to build Python-3.8.4 and try to find different
iTLB metrics for the compilation done by gcc-12.2.0.

The source code[3] is configured with the following command:
./configure --enable-optimizations --with-ensurepip=install

Then the runner script is executed with the following command:
./run.sh "perf stat -e ITLB_WALK,L1I_TLB,INST_RETIRED,iTLB-load-misses -a make -j32"

This builds Python while 160 BPF programs are loaded and 100 are being constantly
triggered and measures iTLB related metrics.

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-aarch64 with 32 cpus, 4G memory, -machine virt,
-cpu host, and -enable-kvm.

Results
-------

Before enabling prog pack allocator:
------------------------------------

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

333278635 ITLB_WALK
6762692976558 L1I_TLB
25359571423901 INST_RETIRED
15824054789 iTLB-load-misses

189.029769053 seconds time elapsed

After enabling prog pack allocator:
-----------------------------------

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

190333544 ITLB_WALK
6712712386528 L1I_TLB
25278233304411 INST_RETIRED
5716757866 iTLB-load-misses

185.392650561 seconds time elapsed

Improvements in metrics
-----------------------

Compilation time ---> 1.92% faster
iTLB-load-misses/Sec (Less is better) ---> 63.16% decrease
ITLB_WALK/1000 INST_RETIRED (Less is better) ---> 42.71% decrease
ITLB_Walk/L1I_TLB (Less is better) ---> 42.47% decrease

Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/3] bpf: make bpf_prog_pack allocator portable

The bpf_prog_pack allocator currently uses module_alloc() and
module_memfree() to allocate and free memory. This is not portable
because different architectures use different methods for allocating
memory for BPF programs. Like ARM64 uses vmalloc()/vfree().

Use bpf_jit_alloc_exec() and bpf_jit_free_exec() for memory management
in bpf_prog_pack allocator. Other architectures can override these with
their implementation and will be able to use bpf_prog_pack directly.

Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/3] arm64: patching: Add aarch64_insn_copy()

This will be used by BPF JIT compiler to dump JITed binary to a RX huge
page, and thus allow multiple BPF programs sharing the a huge (2MB)
page.

The bpf_prog_pack allocator that implements the above feature allocates
a RX/RW buffer pair. The JITed code is written to the RW buffer and then
this function will be used to copy the code from RW to RX buffer.

Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 3/3] bpf, arm64: use bpf_jit_binary_pack_alloc

Use bpf_jit_binary_pack_alloc for memory management of JIT binaries in
ARM64 BPF JIT. The bpf_jit_binary_pack_alloc creates a pair of RW and RX
buffers. The JIT writes the program into the RW buffer. When the JIT is
done, the program is copied to the final ROX buffer
with bpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize.

Implement bpf_arch_text_copy() and bpf_arch_text_invalidate() for ARM64
JIT as these functions are required by bpf_jit_binary_pack allocator.

nit:
I understand "addr" and "opcode" are used by x86 text_poke_copy(). But maybe
we should call them "dst" and "src" or "to" and "from" or something similar?

We are using:
image vs. ro_image
rw_header vs. header
rw_image_ptr vs. image_ptr

Shall we be more consistent with rw_ or ro_ prefix?

I think one aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() per 4 byte is too much overhead.
Shall we add a helper to do this in bigger patches?

Will use "rw_image" and "image" in the next version.

What would be the most efficient way to build this helper? As arm64 doesn't
have the __text_poke() API. Calling copy_to_kernel_nofault() in a loop might
not be the best way. One way would be to use __put_kernel_nofault() directly.

Also, what should we call this helper? aarch64_insn_memset() ?

Thanks,

I just found aarch64_insn_patch_text_cb() also calls
aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() in a loop. So it is probably OK as-is?

Okay, then we can go ahead with this.

Another thing about the consistency of rw_ and ro_ prefix.
The ctx->image is used all over the place in the JIT, so changing it would
require a lot of changes. Therefore the naming convention that I will follow is
"image" and "ro_image". By this naming convention, ctx->image can be left
untouched and only ro_image would be used at some places like:
- prog->bpf_func = (void *)ctx.image;
+ prog->bpf_func = (void *)ctx.ro_image;
etc.

I will use this in the next version of the patch.

Thanks,
Puranjay
