BPF programs currently consume a page each on RISCV. 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[1] 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.

I enabled this allocator on the ARM64 BPF JIT[2]. It is being reviewed now.

This patch series enables the BPF prog pack allocator for the RISCV BPF JIT.

======================================================
Performance Analysis of prog pack allocator on RISCV64
======================================================

Test setup:
===========

Host machine: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Qemu Version: QEMU emulator version 8.0.3 (Debian 1:8.0.3+dfsg-1)
u-boot-qemu Version: 2023.07+dfsg-1
opensbi Version: 1.3-1

To test the performance of the BPF prog pack allocator on RV, a stresser
tool[4] linked below 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.
The script is passed a command which would be run in the above environment.

The script was run with following perf command:
./run.sh "perf stat -a \
        -e iTLB-load-misses \
        -e dTLB-load-misses  \
        -e dTLB-store-misses \
        -e instructions \
        --timeout 60000"

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-riscv64 with 8 cpus, 16G memory. The rootfs
was created using Bjorn's riscv-cross-builder[5] docker container linked below.

Results
=======

Before enabling prog pack allocator:
------------------------------------

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

           4939048      iTLB-load-misses
           5468689      dTLB-load-misses
            465234      dTLB-store-misses
     1441082097998      instructions

      60.045791200 seconds time elapsed

After enabling prog pack allocator:
-----------------------------------

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

           3430035      iTLB-load-misses
           5008745      dTLB-load-misses
            409944      dTLB-store-misses
     1441535637988      instructions

      60.046296600 seconds time elapsed

Improvements in metrics
=======================

It was expected that the iTLB-load-misses would decrease as now a single huge
page is used to keep all the BPF programs compared to a single page for each
program earlier.

--------------------------------------------
The improvement in iTLB-load-misses: -30.5 %
--------------------------------------------

I repeated this expriment more than 100 times in different setups and the
improvement was always greater than 30%.

This patch series is boot tested on the Starfive VisionFive 2 board[6].
The performance analysis was not done on the board because it doesn't
expose iTLB-load-misses, etc. The stresser program was run on the board to test
the loading and unloading of BPF programs

The bpf_prog_pack allocator currently uses module_alloc() and
module_memfree() to allocate and free memory. This is not portable
because different architectures use different methods for allocating
memory for BPF programs. Like ARM64 and riscv use vmalloc()/vfree().

Use bpf_jit_alloc_exec() and bpf_jit_free_exec() for memory management
in bpf_prog_pack allocator. Other architectures can override these with
their implementation and will be able to use bpf_prog_pack directly.

The bpf_prog_pack allocator currently uses module_alloc() and
module_memfree() to allocate and free memory. This is not portable
because different architectures use different methods for allocating
memory for BPF programs. Like ARM64 and riscv use vmalloc()/vfree().

Use bpf_jit_alloc_exec() and bpf_jit_free_exec() for memory management
in bpf_prog_pack allocator. Other architectures can override these with
their implementation and will be able to use bpf_prog_pack directly.

On architectures that don't override bpf_jit_alloc/free_exec() this is
basically a NOP.

<title>bpf: bpf_sk_storage: Fix the missing uncharge in sk_omem_alloc</title>

<content type='text'>
The commit c83597fa5dc6 ("bpf: Refactor some inode/task/sk storage functions
for reuse"), refactored the bpf_{sk,task,inode}_storage_free() into
bpf_local_storage_unlink_nolock() which then later renamed to
bpf_local_storage_destroy(). The commit accidentally passed the
"bool uncharge_mem = false" argument to bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock()
which then stopped the uncharge from happening to the sk-&gt;sk_omem_alloc.

This missing uncharge only happens when the sk is going away (during
__sk_destruct).

This patch fixes it by always passing "uncharge_mem = true". It is a
noop to the task/inode/cgroup storage because they do not have the
map_local_storage_(un)charge enabled in the map_ops. A followup patch
will be done in bpf-next to remove the uncharge_mem argument.

A selftest is added in the next patch.

It complains about acquiring a local_lock while holding a raw_spin_lock.
It means it should not allocate memory while holding a raw_spin_lock
since it is not safe for RT.

raw_spin_lock is needed because bpf_local_storage supports tracing
context. In particular for task local storage, it is easy to
get a "current" task PTR_TO_BTF_ID in tracing bpf prog.
However, task (and cgroup) local storage has already been moved to
bpf mem allocator which can be used after raw_spin_lock.

The splat is for the sk storage. For sk (and inode) storage,
it has not been moved to bpf mem allocator. Using raw_spin_lock or not,
kzalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) could theoretically be unsafe in tracing context.
However, the local storage helper requires a verifier accepted
sk pointer (PTR_TO_BTF_ID), it is hypothetical if that (mean running
a bpf prog in a kzalloc unsafe context and also able to hold a verifier
accepted sk pointer) could happen.

This patch avoids kzalloc after raw_spin_lock to silent the splat.
There is an existing kzalloc before the raw_spin_lock. At that point,
a kzalloc is very likely required because a lookup has just been done
before. Thus, this patch always does the kzalloc before acquiring
the raw_spin_lock and remove the later kzalloc usage after the
raw_spin_lock. After this change, it will have a charge and then
uncharge during the syscall bpf_map_update_elem() code path.
This patch opts for simplicity and not continue the old
optimization to save one charge and uncharge.

This issue is dated back to the very first commit of bpf_sk_storage
which had been refactored multiple times to create task, inode, and
cgroup storage. This patch uses a Fixes tag with a more recent
commit that should be easier to do backport.

__bpf_prog_enter_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before
performing the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_recur() uses the previously set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
value.

__bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
after the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() uses an uninitialized value. This does not
look right. If I read the entry trampoline code right, then bpf_tramp_run_ctx
isn't initialized upfront.

Align __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() with __bpf_prog_enter_recur() and
set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before the recursion check is made.
Remove the assignment of saved_run_ctx in kern_sys_bpf() since it happens
a few cycles later.

<title>bpf: Invoke __bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() on recursion in kern_sys_bpf().</title>

<id>7645629f7dc88cd777f98970134bf1a54c8d77e3</id>
<content type='text'>
If __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() detects recursion then it returns
0 without undoing rcu_read_lock_trace(), migrate_disable() or
decrementing the recursion counter. This is fine in the JIT case because
the JIT code will jump in the 0 case to the end and invoke the matching
exit trampoline (__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur()).

This is not the case in kern_sys_bpf() which returns directly to the
caller with an error code.

Add __bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() as clean up in the recursion case.

Fixes: b1d18a7574d0d ("bpf: Extend sys_bpf commands for bpf_syscall programs.")

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - kprobes: use struct_size() for variable size kretprobe_instance data
   structure.

 - eprobe: Simplify trace_eprobe list iteration.

 - probe events: Data structure field access support on BTF argument.

     - Update BTF argument support on the functions in the kernel
       loadable modules (only loaded modules are supported).

     - Move generic BTF access function (search function prototype and
       get function parameters) to a separated file.

     - Add a function to search a member of data structure in BTF.

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from probe args by
       C-like arrow('-&gt;') and dot('.') operators. e.g.
          't sched_switch next=next-&gt;pid vruntime=next-&gt;se.vruntime'

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g.
          'f getname_flags%return +0($retval-&gt;name):string'

     - Add string type checking if BTF type info is available. This will
       reject if user specify ":string" type for non "char pointer"
       type.

     - Automatically assume the fprobe event as a function return event
       if $retval is used.

 - selftests/ftrace: Add BTF data field access test cases.

 - Documentation: Update fprobe event example with BTF data field.
