samples/bpf: replace broken overhead microbenchmark with fib_table_lookup
The test_overhead bpf program is designed to compare performance between tracepoint and kprobe. Initially it used task_rename and urandom_read tracepoint. However, commit 14c174633f34 ("random: remove unused tracepoints") removed urandom_read tracepoint, and for this reason the test_overhead got broken. This commit introduces new microbenchmark using fib_table_lookup. This microbenchmark sends UDP packets to localhost in order to invoke fib_table_lookup. In a nutshell: fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP); addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(DUMMY_IP); addr.sin_port = htons(DUMMY_PORT); for() { sendto(fd, buf, strlen(buf), 0, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr)); } on 4 cpus in parallel: lookup per sec base (no tracepoints, no kprobes) 381k with kprobe at fib_table_lookup() 325k with tracepoint at fib:fib_table_lookup 330k with raw_tracepoint at fib:fib_table_lookup 365k Fixes: 14c174633f34 ("random: remove unused tracepoints") Signed-off-by: Daniel T.
