powerpc/ebpf/jit: Implement JIT compiler for extended BPF

2016-06-24T05:17:57Z

PPC64 eBPF JIT compiler. Enable with: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable or echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable ... to see the generated JIT code. This can further be processed with tools/net/bpf_jit_disasm. With CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m and 'modprobe test_bpf': test_bpf: Summary: 305 PASSED, 0 FAILED, [297/297 JIT'ed] ... on both ppc64 BE and LE. The details of the approach are documented through various comments in the code. Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: Naveen N. Rao Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

net: filter: BPF 'JIT' compiler for PPC64

2011-07-21T19:38:32Z

An implementation of a code generator for BPF programs to speed up packet filtering on PPC64, inspired by Eric Dumazet's x86-64 version. Filter code is generated as an ABI-compliant function in module_alloc()'d mem with stackframe & prologue/epilogue generated if required (simple filters don't need anything more than an li/blr). The filter's local variables, M[], live in registers. Supports all BPF opcodes, although "complicated" loads from negative packet offsets (e.g. SKF_LL_OFF) are not yet supported. There are a couple of further optimisations left for future work; many-pass assembly with branch-reach reduction and a register allocator to push M[] variables into volatile registers would improve the code quality further. This currently supports big-endian 64-bit PowerPC only (but is fairly simple to port to PPC32 or LE!). Enabled in the same way as x86-64: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable Or, enabled with extra debug output: echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable Signed-off-by: Matt Evans Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
