Add generic benchmark runner framework which simplifies writing various
performance benchmarks in a consistent fashion.  This framework will be used
in follow up patches to test performance of perf buffer and ring buffer as
well.

Patch #1 adds generic runner implementation and atomic counter benchmarks to
validate benchmark runner's behavior.

Patch #2 implements test_overhead benchmark as part of bench runner. It also
add fmod_ret BPF program type to a set of benchmarks.

Patch #3 tests faster alternatives to set_task_comm() approach, tested in
test_overhead, in search for minimal-overhead way to trigger BPF program
execution from user-space on demand.

While working on BPF ringbuf implementation, testing, and benchmarking, I've
developed a pretty generic and modular benchmark runner, which seems to be
generically useful, as I've already used it for one more purpose (testing
fastest way to trigger BPF program, to minimize overhead of in-kernel code).

This patch adds generic part of benchmark runner and sets up Makefile for
extending it with more sets of benchmarks.

Benchmarker itself operates by spinning up specified number of producer and
consumer threads, setting up interval timer sending SIGALARM signal to
application once a second. Every second, current snapshot with hits/drops
counters are collected and stored in an array. Drops are useful for
producer/consumer benchmarks in which producer might overwhelm consumers.

Once test finishes after given amount of warm-up and testing seconds, mean and
stddev are calculated (ignoring warm-up results) and is printed out to stdout.
This setup seems to give consistent and accurate results.

To validate behavior, I added two atomic counting tests: global and local.
For global one, all the producer threads are atomically incrementing same
counter as fast as possible. This, of course, leads to huge drop of
performance once there is more than one producer thread due to CPUs fighting
for the same memory location.

Local counting, on the other hand, maintains one counter per each producer
thread, incremented independently. Once per second, all counters are read and
added together to form final "counting throughput" measurement. As expected,
such setup demonstrates linear scalability with number of producers (as long
as there are enough physical CPU cores, of course). See example output below.
Also, this setup can nicely demonstrate disastrous effects of false sharing,
if care is not taken to take those per-producer counters apart into
independent cache lines.

Demo output shows global counter first with 1 producer, then with 4. Both
total and per-producer performance significantly drop. The last run is local
counter with 4 producers, demonstrating near-perfect scalability.

  To: bpf, netdev, ast, daniel; +Cc: andrii.nakryiko, kernel-team, Andrii Nakryiko

Add fmod_ret BPF program to existing test_overhead selftest. Also re-implement
user-space benchmarking part into benchmark runner to compare results.  Results
with ./bench are consistently somewhat lower than test_overhead's, but relative
performance of various types of BPF programs stay consisten (e.g., kretprobe is
noticeably slower).

To test with ./bench, the following command was used:

for i in base kprobe kretprobe rawtp fentry fexit fmodret; \
do \
    summary=$(sudo ./bench -w2 -d5 -a rename-$i | \
              tail -n1 | cut -d'(' -f1 | cut -d' ' -f3-) && \
    printf "%-10s: %s\n" $i "$summary"; \
done

This gives the following numbers:

  base      :    3.975 ± 0.065M/s
  kprobe    :    3.268 ± 0.095M/s
  kretprobe :    2.496 ± 0.040M/s
  rawtp     :    3.899 ± 0.078M/s
  fentry    :    3.836 ± 0.049M/s
  fexit     :    3.660 ± 0.082M/s
  fmodret   :    3.776 ± 0.033M/s

While running test_overhead gives:

  task_rename base        4457K events per sec
  task_rename kprobe      3849K events per sec
  task_rename kretprobe   2729K events per sec
  task_rename raw_tp      4506K events per sec
  task_rename fentry      4381K events per sec
  task_rename fexit       4349K events per sec
  task_rename fmod_ret    4130K events per sec

From: Andrii Nakryiko @ 2020-05-08  7:05 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: bpf, netdev, ast, daniel; +Cc: andrii.nakryiko, kernel-team, Andrii Nakryiko

It is sometimes desirable to be able to trigger BPF program from user-space
with minimal overhead. sys_enter would seem to be a good candidate, yet in
a lot of cases there will be a lot of noise from syscalls triggered by other
processes on the system. So while searching for low-overhead alternative, I've
stumbled upon getpgid() syscall, which seems to be specific enough to not
suffer from accidental syscall by other apps.

This set of benchmarks compares tp, raw_tp w/ filtering by syscall ID, kprobe,
fentry and fmod_ret with returning error (so that syscall would not be
executed), to determine the lowest-overhead way. Here are results on my
machine:

$ for i in base tp rawtp kprobe fentry fmodret; \
do \
    summary=$(sudo ./bench -w2 -d5 -a trig-$i | \
              tail -n1 | cut -d'(' -f1 | cut -d' ' -f3- ) && \
    printf "%-10s: %s\n" $i "$summary"; \
done

base      :    9.200 ± 0.319M/s
tp        :    6.690 ± 0.125M/s
rawtp     :    8.571 ± 0.214M/s
kprobe    :    6.431 ± 0.048M/s
fentry    :    8.955 ± 0.241M/s
fmodret   :    8.903 ± 0.135M/s

So it seems like fmodret doesn't give much benefit for such lightweight
syscall. Raw tracepoint is pretty decent despite additional filtering logic,
but it will be called for any other syscall in the system, which rules it out.
Fentry, though, seems to be adding the least amoung of overhead and achieves
97.3% of performance of baseline no-BPF-attached syscall.

Using getpgid() seems to be preferable to set_task_comm() approach from
test_overhead, as it's about 2.35x faster in a baseline performance.

Couple nits but otherwise lgtm. I think it should probably be moved
into its own directory though ./bpf/bench/

The other question would be how much stuff do we want to live in
selftests vs outside selftests/bpf but I think its fine and makes
it easy to build small benchmark programs in ./bpf/progs/

Just curious I'm guessing the duration/warmap are arbitrary here? Seems
a bit long I would bet 5,1 would be enough for global/local test at
least.

Per producer counts would also be useful. Averaging over producer cnt could
hide issues with fairness.

"Benchmark mode" hmm not sure what this is for yet. Only on

Should we error out on affinity errors?

Ah the mode. OK maybe in description call it, "Benchmark mode to run" or
"Benchmark test"? Or leave it its probably fine.

How about a ./bpf/bench/ directory? Seems we are going to get a few
bench_* tests here.

might be nice to have a script ./bench_tracing_overhead.sh when its in its
own directory ./bench. Otherwise I'll have to look this up every single
time I'm sure.

adding 'lock xadd' is not cheap.
I wonder how much of the delta come from it and from the rest of
trampoline.

Yeah, could be, though count-global/count-local benchmarks get to
150Mops/s under no-sharing scenario, so effect shouldn't be that high.
Well, in any case, 9Mops/s is more than enough for my cases :)

I assume you are talking about benchmark implementations themselve,
all those bench_xxx.c files, right? bench.c probably should stay in
selftests/bpf root.

selftests/bpf Makefile is so convenient for BPF/skeleton/user-space
building, libbpf, vmlinux.h generation, etc, that moving this outside
would be a major pain and lots of extra work. Adding this benchmark
was trivial from Makefile modification point of view (and no debugging
of Makefile either, everything just worked).

Yeah, completely arbitrary. I started with just 1 second, but for some
benchmark stabilization came around second 4-5, so I bumped it to 5.
It's easy to modify with -d and -w arguments, but I can bump it down
to 5, 1 for defaults.

True about hiding fairness issues, but for benchmarks with lots of
producers, it's so many numbres, that it will be hard to interpret it
per-producer. We could probably add stddev calculation across multiple
producers and stuff like that, but I'd defer that to future
enhancements. This benchmarker is a side-product of BPF ringbuf work,
not the goal in itself.

Oh, actually I don't need it, it's just a positional argument, I'll

Given I made affinity setting optional (in the end), I guess I could
