[PATCH bpf-next v7 0/2] bpf, arm64: use BPF prog pack allocator in BPF JIT

[Puranjay Mohan]

Changes in V6 => V7:
V6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240124164917.119997-1-puranjay12@gmail.com/
1. Rebase on bpf-next/master.

Changes in V5 => V6:
V5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230908144320.2474-1-puranjay12@gmail.com/
1. Implement a text poke api to reduce code repeatition.
2. Use flush_icache_range() in place of caches_clean_inval_pou() in the
   functions that modify code.
3. Optimize the bpf_jit_free() by not copying the all instructions on
   the rw image to the ro_image

Changes in V4 => v5:
1. Remove the patch for making prog pack allocator portable as it will come
   through the RISCV tree[1].

2. Add a new function aarch64_insn_set() to be used in
   bpf_arch_text_invalidate() for putting illegal instructions after a
   program is removed. The earlier implementation of bpf_arch_text_invalidate()
   was calling aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() in a loop and making it slow
   because each call invalidated the cache.

   Here is test_tag now:
   [root@ip-172-31-6-176 bpf]# time ./test_tag
   test_tag: OK (40945 tests)

   real    0m19.695s
   user    0m1.514s
   sys     0m17.841s

   test_tag without these patches:
   [root@ip-172-31-6-176 bpf]# time ./test_tag
   test_tag: OK (40945 tests)

   real    0m21.487s
   user    0m1.647s
   sys     0m19.106s

   test_tag in the previous version was really slow > 2 minutes. see [2]

3. Add cache invalidation in aarch64_insn_copy() so other users can call the
   function without worrying about the cache. Currently only bpf_arch_text_copy()
   is using it, but there might be more users in the future.

Chanes in V3 => V4: Changes only in 3rd patch
1. Fix the I-cache maintenance: Clean the data cache and invalidate the i-Cache
   only *after* the instructions have been copied to the ROX region.

Chanes in V2 => V3: Changes only in 3rd patch
1. Set prog = orig_prog; in the failure path of bpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize()
call.
2. Add comments explaining the usage of the offsets in the exception table.

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 <song@kernel.org> in 1st and 2nd patch.

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[3] 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[4] 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[5] 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.

[PATCH bpf-next v7 1/2] arm64: patching: implement text_poke API

[Puranjay Mohan]

The text_poke API is used to implement functions like memcpy() and
memset() for instruction memory (RO+X). The implementation is similar to
the x86 version.

This will be used by the BPF JIT to write and modify BPF programs. There
could be more users of this in the future.

[PATCH bpf-next v7 2/2] bpf, arm64: use bpf_prog_pack for memory management

[Puranjay Mohan]

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.

How about removing the argument 'patched' and passing 'src + patched' as the
second argument?

Where is 'ret' assigned?

The memcpy() function needs 'src + patched' but the memset() needs only the 'src' and
will ignore the 'patched'. To make these implementations generic, I pass
both src and patched separately and allow the implementation of
text_poke_f() to use them.

If you think there is a better way to implement this then I would love
to use that.

Will remove the error check in next version as func() is of type void
and this error check was left from the previous version.
