Maps all internal BPF instructions into x86_64 instructions.
This patch replaces original BPF x64 JIT with internal BPF x64 JIT.
sysctl net.core.bpf_jit_enable is reused as on/off switch.
Performance:
1. old BPF JIT and internal BPF JIT generate equivalent x86_64 code.
No performance difference is observed for filters that were JIT-able before
Example assembler code for BPF filter "tcpdump port 22"
On fully cached SKBs both JITed functions take 12 nsec to execute.
BPF interpreter executes the program in 30 nsec.
The difference in generated assembler is due to the following:
Old BPF imlements LDX_MSH instruction via sk_load_byte_msh() helper function
inside bpf_jit.S.
New JIT removes the helper and does it explicitly, so ldx_msh cost
is the same for both JITs, but generated code looks longer.
New JIT has 4 registers to save, so prologue/epilogue are larger,
but the cost is within noise on x64.
Old JIT checks whether first insn clears A and if not emits 'xor %eax,%eax'.
New JIT clears %rax unconditionally.
2. old BPF JIT doesn't support ANC_NLATTR, ANC_PAY_OFFSET, ANC_RANDOM
extensions. New JIT supports all BPF extensions.
Performance of such filters improves 2-4 times depending on a filter.
The longer the filter the higher performance gain.
Synthetic benchmarks with many ancillary loads see 20x speedup
which seems to be the maximum gain from JIT
Notes:
. net.core.bpf_jit_enable=2 + tools/net/bpf_jit_disasm is still functional
and can be used to see generated assembler
. there are two jit_compile() functions and code flow for classic filters is:
sk_attach_filter() - load classic BPF
bpf_jit_compile() - try to JIT from classic BPF
sk_convert_filter() - convert classic to internal
bpf_int_jit_compile() - JIT from internal BPF
seccomp and tracing filters will just call bpf_int_jit_compile()
