selftest/bpf/benchs: Add benchmark for sockmap usage

2025-04-10T02:59:00Z

Add TCP+sockmap-based benchmark. Since sockmap's own update and delete operations are generally less critical, the performance of the fast forwarding framework built upon it is the key aspect. Also with cgset/cgexec, we can observe the behavior of sockmap under memory pressure. The benchmark can be run with: ''' ./bench sockmap -c 2 -p 1 -a --rx-verdict-ingress ''' In the future, we plan to move socket_helpers.h out of the prog_tests directory to make it accessible for the benchmark. This will enable better support for various socket types. Signed-off-by: Jiayuan Chen Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250407142234.47591-5-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

selftests/bpf: add multi-uprobe benchmarks

2024-08-23T17:00:37Z

Add multi-uprobe and multi-uretprobe benchmarks to bench tool. Multi- and classic uprobes/uretprobes have different low-level triggering code paths, so it's sometimes important to be able to benchmark both flavors of uprobes/uretprobes. Sample examples from my dev machine below. Single-threaded peformance almost doesn't differ, but with more parallel CPUs triggering the same uprobe/uretprobe the difference grows. This might be due to [0], but given the code is slightly different, there could be other sources of slowdown. Note, all these numbers will change due to ongoing work to improve uprobe/uretprobe scalability (e.g., [1]), but having benchmark like this is useful for measurements and debugging nevertheless. \#!/bin/bash set -eufo pipefail for p in 1 8 16 32; do for i in uprobe-nop uretprobe-nop uprobe-multi-nop uretprobe-multi-nop; do summary=$(sudo ./bench -w1 -d3 -p$p -a trig-$i | tail -n1) total=$(echo "$summary" | cut -d'(' -f1 | cut -d' ' -f3-) percpu=$(echo "$summary" | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1 | cut -d'/' -f1) printf "%-21s (%2d cpus): %s (%s/s/cpu)\n" $i $p "$total" "$percpu" done echo done uprobe-nop ( 1 cpus): 1.020 ± 0.005M/s ( 1.020M/s/cpu) uretprobe-nop ( 1 cpus): 0.515 ± 0.009M/s ( 0.515M/s/cpu) uprobe-multi-nop ( 1 cpus): 1.036 ± 0.004M/s ( 1.036M/s/cpu) uretprobe-multi-nop ( 1 cpus): 0.512 ± 0.005M/s ( 0.512M/s/cpu) uprobe-nop ( 8 cpus): 3.481 ± 0.030M/s ( 0.435M/s/cpu) uretprobe-nop ( 8 cpus): 2.222 ± 0.008M/s ( 0.278M/s/cpu) uprobe-multi-nop ( 8 cpus): 3.769 ± 0.094M/s ( 0.471M/s/cpu) uretprobe-multi-nop ( 8 cpus): 2.482 ± 0.007M/s ( 0.310M/s/cpu) uprobe-nop (16 cpus): 2.968 ± 0.011M/s ( 0.185M/s/cpu) uretprobe-nop (16 cpus): 1.870 ± 0.002M/s ( 0.117M/s/cpu) uprobe-multi-nop (16 cpus): 3.541 ± 0.037M/s ( 0.221M/s/cpu) uretprobe-multi-nop (16 cpus): 2.123 ± 0.026M/s ( 0.133M/s/cpu) uprobe-nop (32 cpus): 2.524 ± 0.026M/s ( 0.079M/s/cpu) uretprobe-nop (32 cpus): 1.572 ± 0.003M/s ( 0.049M/s/cpu) uprobe-multi-nop (32 cpus): 2.717 ± 0.003M/s ( 0.085M/s/cpu) uretprobe-multi-nop (32 cpus): 1.687 ± 0.007M/s ( 0.053M/s/cpu) [0] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240805202803.1813090-1-andrii@kernel.org/ [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240731214256.3588718-1-andrii@kernel.org/ Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240806042935.3867862-1-andrii@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

selftests/bpf: add batched tp/raw_tp/fmodret tests

2024-03-29T01:31:40Z

Utilize bpf_modify_return_test_tp() kfunc to have a fast way to trigger tp/raw_tp/fmodret programs from another BPF program, which gives us comparable batched benchmarks to (batched) kprobe/fentry benchmarks. We don't switch kprobe/fentry batched benchmarks to this kfunc to make bench tool usable on older kernels as well.

selftests/bpf: remove syscall-driven benchs, keep syscall-count only

2024-03-29T01:31:40Z

Remove "legacy" benchmarks triggered by syscalls in favor of newly added in-kernel/batched benchmarks. Drop -batched suffix now as well. Next patch will restore "feature parity" by adding back tp/raw_tp/fmodret benchmarks based on in-kernel kfunc approach.

selftests/bpf: add batched, mostly in-kernel BPF triggering benchmarks

2024-03-29T01:31:40Z

Existing kprobe/fentry triggering benchmarks have 1-to-1 mapping between one syscall execution and BPF program run. While we use a fast get_pgid() syscall, syscall overhead can still be non-trivial. This patch adds kprobe/fentry set of benchmarks significantly amortizing the cost of syscall vs actual BPF triggering overhead. We do this by employing BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN command to trigger "driver" raw_tp program which does a tight parameterized loop calling cheap BPF helper (bpf_get_numa_node_id()), to which kprobe/fentry programs are attached for benchmarking. This way 1 bpf() syscall causes N executions of BPF program being benchmarked. N defaults to 100, but can be adjusted with --trig-batch-iters CLI argument. For comparison we also implement a new baseline program that instead of triggering another BPF program just does N atomic per-CPU counter increments, establishing the limit for all other types of program within this batched benchmarking setup. Taking the final set of benchmarks added in this patch set (including tp/raw_tp/fmodret, added in later patch), and keeping for now "legacy" syscall-driven benchmarks, we can capture all triggering benchmarks in one place for comparison, before we remove the legacy ones (and rename xxx-batched into just xxx). $ benchs/run_bench_trigger.sh usermode-count : 79.500 ± 0.024M/s kernel-count : 49.949 ± 0.081M/s syscall-count : 9.009 ± 0.007M/s fentry-batch : 31.002 ± 0.015M/s fexit-batch : 20.372 ± 0.028M/s fmodret-batch : 21.651 ± 0.659M/s rawtp-batch : 36.775 ± 0.264M/s tp-batch : 19.411 ± 0.248M/s kprobe-batch : 12.949 ± 0.220M/s kprobe-multi-batch : 15.400 ± 0.007M/s kretprobe-batch : 5.559 ± 0.011M/s kretprobe-multi-batch: 5.861 ± 0.003M/s fentry-legacy : 8.329 ± 0.004M/s fexit-legacy : 6.239 ± 0.003M/s fmodret-legacy : 6.595 ± 0.001M/s rawtp-legacy : 8.305 ± 0.004M/s tp-legacy : 6.382 ± 0.001M/s kprobe-legacy : 5.528 ± 0.003M/s kprobe-multi-legacy : 5.864 ± 0.022M/s kretprobe-legacy : 3.081 ± 0.001M/s kretprobe-multi-legacy: 3.193 ± 0.001M/s Note how xxx-batch variants are measured with significantly higher throughput, even though it's exactly the same in-kernel overhead. As such, results can be compared only between benchmarks of the same kind (syscall vs batched): fentry-legacy : 8.329 ± 0.004M/s fentry-batch : 31.002 ± 0.015M/s kprobe-multi-legacy : 5.864 ± 0.022M/s kprobe-multi-batch : 15.400 ± 0.007M/s Note also that syscall-count is setting a theoretical limit for syscall-triggered benchmarks, while kernel-count is setting similar limits for batch variants. usermode-count is a happy and unachievable case of user space counting without doing any syscalls, and is mostly the measure of CPU speed for such a trivial benchmark. As was mentioned, tp/raw_tp/fmodret require kernel-side kfunc to produce similar benchmark, which we address in a separate patch. Note that run_bench_trigger.sh allows to override a list of benchmarks to run, which is very useful for performance work.
