* bpf: Add percpu allocation support to bpf_mem_alloc.Alexei Starovoitov2022-09-051-5/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend bpf_mem_alloc to cache free list of fixed size per-cpu allocations. Once such cache is created bpf_mem_cache_alloc() will return per-cpu objects. bpf_mem_cache_free() will free them back into global per-cpu pool after observing RCU grace period. per-cpu flavor of bpf_mem_alloc is going to be used by per-cpu hash maps. The free list cache consists of tuples { llist_node, per-cpu pointer } Unlike alloc_percpu() that returns per-cpu pointer the bpf_mem_cache_alloc() returns a pointer to per-cpu pointer and bpf_mem_cache_free() expects to receive it back.

* bpf: Batch call_rcu callbacks instead of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.Alexei Starovoitov2022-09-051-3/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU makes kmem_caches non mergeable and slows down kmem_cache_destroy. All bpf_mem_cache are safe to share across different maps and programs. Convert SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU to batched call_rcu. This change solves the memory consumption issue, avoids kmem_cache_destroy latency and keeps bpf hash map performance the same.

* bpf: Adjust low/high watermarks in bpf_mem_cacheAlexei Starovoitov2022-09-051-14/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The same low/high watermarks for every bucket in bpf_mem_cache consume significant amount of memory. Preallocating 64 elements of 4096 bytes each in the free list is not efficient. Make low/high watermarks and batching value dependent on element size. This change brings significant memory savings.

* bpf: Optimize call_rcu in non-preallocated hash map.Alexei Starovoitov2022-09-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Doing call_rcu() million times a second becomes a bottle neck. Convert non-preallocated hash map from call_rcu to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. The rcu critical section is no longer observed for one htab element which makes non-preallocated hash map behave just like preallocated hash map. The map elements are released back to kernel memory after observing rcu critical section. This improves 'map_perf_test 4' performance from 100k events per second to 250k events per second. bpf_mem_alloc + percpu_counter + typesafe_by_rcu provide 10x performance boost to non-preallocated hash map and make it within few % of preallocated map while consuming fraction of memory.

* bpf: Introduce any context BPF specific memory allocator.Alexei Starovoitov2022-09-051-0/+480
Tracing BPF programs can attach to kprobe and fentry. Hence they run in unknown context where calling plain kmalloc() might not be safe. Front-end kmalloc() with minimal per-cpu cache of free elements. Refill this cache asynchronously from irq_work. BPF programs always run with migration disabled. It's safe to allocate from cache of the current cpu with irqs disabled. Free-ing is always done into bucket of the current cpu as well. irq_work trims extra free elements from buckets with kfree and refills them with kmalloc, so global kmalloc logic takes care of freeing objects allocated by one cpu and freed on another. struct bpf_mem_alloc supports two modes: - When size != 0 create kmem_cache and bpf_mem_cache for each cpu. This is typical bpf hash map use case when all elements have equal size. - When size == 0 allocate 11 bpf_mem_cache-s for each cpu, then rely on kmalloc/kfree. Max allocation size is 4096 in this case. This is bpf_dynptr and bpf_kptr use case. bpf_mem_alloc/bpf_mem_free are bpf specific 'wrappers' of kmalloc/kfree. bpf_mem_cache_alloc/bpf_mem_cache_free are 'wrappers' of kmem_cache_alloc/kmem_cache_free. The allocators are NMI-safe from bpf programs only. They are not NMI-safe in general.
