====================
xdp: more work on xdp tracepoints
More work on streamlining and performance optimizing the tracepoints
for XDP.
I've created a simple xdp_monitor application that uses this
tracepoint, and prints statistics. Available at github:
https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/blob/master/kernel/samples/bpf/xdp_monitor_kern.c
https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/blob/master/kernel/samples/bpf/xdp_monitor_user.c
The improvement over tracepoint with strcpy:
9810372 -
8428762 = +
1381610 pps faster
- (1/
9810372 - 1/
8428762)*10^9 = -16.7 nanosec
- 100-(
8428762/
9810372*100) = strcpy-trace is 14.08% slower
- 981037/
8428762*100 = removing strcpy made it 11.64% faster
V3: Fix merge conflict with commit
e4a8e817d3cb ("bpf: misc xdp redirect cleanups")
V2: Change trace_xdp_redirect() to align with args of trace_xdp_exception()
