[PATCH bpf-next 0/3] bpf: Introduce minimal support for sleepable progs

From: Alexei Starovoitov <hidden>
Date: 2020-05-28 05:33:39
Also in: bpf

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

This patch set introduces the minimal viable support for sleepable bpf programs.
In this patch only fentry/fexit/fmod_ret and lsm progs can be sleepable.
Only array and pre-allocated hash and lru maps allowed.

Here is 'perf report' difference of sleepable vs non-sleepable:
   3.86%  bench     [k] __srcu_read_unlock
   3.22%  bench     [k] __srcu_read_lock
   0.92%  bench     [k] bpf_prog_740d4210cdcd99a3_bench_trigger_fentry_sleep
   0.50%  bench     [k] bpf_trampoline_10297
   0.26%  bench     [k] __bpf_prog_exit_sleepable
   0.21%  bench     [k] __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable
vs
   0.88%  bench     [k] bpf_prog_740d4210cdcd99a3_bench_trigger_fentry
   0.84%  bench     [k] bpf_trampoline_10297
   0.13%  bench     [k] __bpf_prog_enter
   0.12%  bench     [k] __bpf_prog_exit

Clearly sleepable vs non-sleepable program invocation overhead is high, but it
could be acceptable in certain cases until rcu_trace is available.

bpf_copy_from_user(), bpf_msleep() will be coming in the future patches.
Support for perf_event_array and bpf_perf_event_output() will follow as well.
