Subject: [PATCH 5/6] selftests/seccomp: Compare bitmap vs filter overhead
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2020 16:29:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200923232923.3142503-6-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200923232923.3142503-1-keescook@chromium.org>

As part of the seccomp benchmarking, include the expectations with
regard to the timing behavior of the constant action bitmaps, and report
inconsistencies better.

Example output with constant action bitmaps on x86:

$ sudo ./seccomp_benchmark 30344920
Current BPF sysctl settings:
net.core.bpf_jit_enable = 1
net.core.bpf_jit_harden = 0
Benchmarking 30344920 syscalls...
22.113430452 - 0.005691205 = 22107739247 (22.1s)
getpid native: 728 ns
44.867669556 - 22.113755935 = 22753913621 (22.8s)
getpid RET_ALLOW 1 filter (bitmap): 749 ns
67.649040358 - 44.868003056 = 22781037302 (22.8s)
getpid RET_ALLOW 2 filters (bitmap): 750 ns
92.555661414 - 67.650328959 = 24905332455 (24.9s)
getpid RET_ALLOW 3 filters (full): 820 ns
118.170831065 - 92.556057543 = 25614773522 (25.6s)
getpid RET_ALLOW 4 filters (full): 844 ns
Estimated total seccomp overhead for 1 bitmapped filter: 21 ns
Estimated total seccomp overhead for 2 bitmapped filters: 22 ns
Estimated total seccomp overhead for 3 full filters: 92 ns
Estimated total seccomp overhead for 4 full filters: 116 ns
Estimated seccomp entry overhead: 20 ns
Estimated seccomp per-filter overhead (last 2 diff): 24 ns
Estimated seccomp per-filter overhead (filters / 4): 24 ns
Expectations:
        native ≤ 1 bitmap (728 ≤ 749): ✔️
        native ≤ 1 filter (728 ≤ 820): ✔️
        per-filter (last 2 diff) ≈ per-filter (filters / 4) (24 ≈ 24): ✔️
        1 bitmapped ≈ 2 bitmapped (21 ≈ 22): ✔️
        entry ≈ 1 bitmapped (20 ≈ 21): ✔️
        entry ≈ 2 bitmapped (20 ≈ 22): ✔️
        native + entry + (per filter * 4) ≈ 4 filters total (844 ≈ 844): ✔️
