bpf, arm64: inline bpf_get_smp_processor_id() helper
Inline calls to bpf_get_smp_processor_id() helper in the JIT by emitting a read from struct thread_info. The SP_EL0 system register holds the pointer to the task_struct and thread_info is the first member of this struct. We can read the cpu number from the thread_info. Here is how the ARM64 JITed assembly changes after this commit: ARM64 JIT =========== BEFORE AFTER -------- ------- int cpu = bpf_get_smp_processor_id(); int cpu = bpf_get_smp_processor_id(); mov x10, #0xfffffffffffff4d0 mrs x10, sp_el0 movk x10, #0x802b, lsl #16 ldr w7, [x10, #24] movk x10, #0x8000, lsl #32 blr x10 add x7, x0, #0x0 Performance improvement using benchmark[1] ./benchs/run_bench_trigger.sh glob-arr-inc arr-inc hash-inc +---------------+-------------------+-------------------+--------------+ | Name | Before | After | % change | |---------------+-------------------+-------------------+--------------| | glob-arr-inc | 23.380 ± 1.675M/s | 25.893 ± 0.026M/s | + 10.74% | | arr-inc | 23.928 ± 0.034M/s | 25.213 ± 0.063M/s | + 5.37% | | hash-inc | 12.352 ± 0.005M/s | 12.609 ± 0.013M/s | + 2.08% | +---------------+-------------------+-------------------+--------------+ [1] anakryiko/linux@8dec900975ef Signed-off-by: Puranjay Mohan <puranjay@kernel.org> Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>
