Subject: kprobes: Optimize hot path by using percpu counter to collect 'nhit' statistics
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a7636d9ecfa3ab7800a7c04c1f89378229eff609;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

kprobes: Optimize hot path by using percpu counter to collect 'nhit' statistics

When doing ebpf+kprobe on some hot TCP functions (e.g.
tcp_rcv_established), the kprobe_dispatcher() function
shows up in 'perf report'.

In kprobe_dispatcher(), there is a lot of cache bouncing
on 'tk->nhit++'.  'tk->nhit' and 'tk->tp.flags' also share
the same cacheline.

perf report (cycles:pp):

	8.30%  ipv4_dst_check
	4.74%  copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
	3.93%  dst_release
	2.80%  tcp_v4_rcv
	2.31%  queued_spin_lock_slowpath
	2.30%  _raw_spin_lock
	1.88%  mlx4_en_process_rx_cq
	1.84%  eth_get_headlen
	1.81%  ip_rcv_finish
	~~~~
	1.71%  kprobe_dispatcher
	~~~~
	1.55%  mlx4_en_xmit
	1.09%  __probe_kernel_read

perf report after patch:

	9.15%  ipv4_dst_check
	5.00%  copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
	4.12%  dst_release
	2.96%  tcp_v4_rcv
	2.50%  _raw_spin_lock
	2.39%  queued_spin_lock_slowpath
	2.11%  eth_get_headlen
	2.03%  mlx4_en_process_rx_cq
	1.69%  mlx4_en_xmit
	1.19%  ip_rcv_finish
	1.12%  __probe_kernel_read
	1.02%  ehci_hcd_cleanup
