The profiling result of BPF selftest on ARM64 platform reveals the significant contention on the current->sighand->siglock is the scalability bottleneck. The reason is also very straightforward that all producer threads of benchmark have to contend the spinlock mentioned to resume the TIF_SIGPENDING bit in thread_info that might be removed in uprobe_deny_signal(). The contention on current->sighand->siglock is unnecessary, this series remove them thoroughly. I've use the script developed by Andrii in [1] to run benchmark. The CPU used was Kunpeng916 (Hi1616), 4 NUMA nodes, 64 cores@2.4GHz running the kernel on next tree + the optimization in [2] for get_xol_insn_slot(). before-opt ---------- uprobe-nop ( 1 cpus): 0.907 ± 0.003M/s ( 0.907M/s/cpu) uprobe-nop ( 2 cpus): 1.676 ± 0.008M/s ( 0.838M/s/cpu) uprobe-nop ( 4 cpus): 3.210 ± 0.003M/s ( 0.802M/s/cpu) uprobe-nop ( 8 cpus): 4.457 ± 0.003M/s ( 0.557M/s/cpu) uprobe-nop (16 cpus): 3.724 ± 0.011M/s ( 0.233M/s/cpu) uprobe-nop (32 cpus): 2.761 ± 0.003M/s ( 0.086M/s/cpu) uprobe-nop (64 cpus): 1.293 ± 0.015M/s ( 0.020M/s/cpu) uprobe-push ( 1 cpus): 0.883 ± 0.001M/s ( 0.883M/s/cpu) uprobe-push ( 2 cpus): 1.642 ± 0.005M/s ( 0.821M/s/cpu) uprobe-push ( 4 cpus): 3.086 ± 0.002M/s ( 0.771M/s/cpu) uprobe-push ( 8 cpus): 3.390 ± 0.003M/s ( 0.424M/s/cpu) uprobe-push (16 cpus): 2.652 ± 0.005M/s ( 0.166M/s/cpu) uprobe-push (32 cpus): 2.713 ± 0.005M/s ( 0.085M/s/cpu) uprobe-push (64 cpus): 1.313 ± 0.009M/s ( 0.021M/s/cpu) uprobe-ret ( 1 cpus): 1.774 ± 0.000M/s ( 1.774M/s/cpu) uprobe-ret ( 2 cpus): 3.350 ± 0.001M/s ( 1.675M/s/cpu) uprobe-ret ( 4 cpus): 6.604 ± 0.000M/s ( 1.651M/s/cpu) uprobe-ret ( 8 cpus): 6.706 ± 0.005M/s ( 0.838M/s/cpu) uprobe-ret (16 cpus): 5.231 ± 0.001M/s ( 0.327M/s/cpu) uprobe-ret (32 cpus): 5.743 ± 0.003M/s ( 0.179M/s/cpu) uprobe-ret (64 cpus): 4.726 ± 0.016M/s ( 0.074M/s/cpu) after-opt
