Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 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

Changes in v1 => v2:
1. Make the naming consistent in the 3rd patch:
ro_image and image
ro_header and header
ro_image_ptr and image_ptr
2. Use names dst/src in place of addr/opcode in second patch.
3. Add Acked-by: Song Liu <[email protected]> in 1st and 2nd patch.

Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 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 v2 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 RX 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.

Changes in v1 => v2:
- Made the naming of ro_ prefix consistent.
Now image/header/image_ptr are read/write and
ro_image/ro_header/ro_image_ptr are read-only.

Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 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.

I think we need
prog = orig_prog;
here.

Here I am using two variables because I need to change from the RO
buffer for calculating offsets
to the RW buffer for writing.

Earlier, a single variable could work because it was being reused for
calculating the second offset
after writing the first one. Here, I can't re-calculate using the same
variable because I have to change
to the RW buffer, and using the same variable would need changing back
to the RO buffer.

So, I am calculating both offsets first, changing to RW buffer and
writing both offsets.

But I will add comments explaining what these offsets are being used for.

I agree, this is a mistake from my side.
I will add this in the next version.

Thanks for the explanation! These comments will be useful for future work.
