Alexei Starovoitov 80123f0ac4 Merge branch 'bpf_prog_pack allocator'
Song Liu says:

====================

Changes v8 => v9:
1. Fix an error with multi function program, in 4/9.

Changes v7 => v8:
1. Rebase and fix conflicts.
2. Lock text_mutex for text_poke_copy. (Daniel)

Changes v6 => v7:
1. Redesign the interface between generic and arch logic, based on feedback
   from Alexei and Ilya.
2. Split 6/7 of v6 to 7/9 and 8/9 in v7, for cleaner logic.
3. Add bpf_arch_text_copy in 6/9.

Changes v5 => v6:
1. Make jit_hole_buffer 128 byte long. Only fill the first and last 128
   bytes of header with INT3. (Alexei)
2. Use kvmalloc for temporary buffer. (Alexei)
3. Rename tmp_header/tmp_image => rw_header/rw_image. Remove tmp_image from
   x64_jit_data. (Alexei)
4. Change fall back round_up_to in bpf_jit_binary_alloc_pack() from
   BPF_PROG_MAX_PACK_PROG_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE.

Changes v4 => v5:
1. Do not use atomic64 for bpf_jit_current. (Alexei)

Changes v3 => v4:
1. Rename text_poke_jit() => text_poke_copy(). (Peter)
2. Change comment style. (Peter)

Changes v2 => v3:
1. Fix tailcall.

Changes v1 => v2:
1. Use text_poke instead of writing through linear mapping. (Peter)
2. Avoid making changes to non-x86_64 code.

Most BPF programs are small, but they consume a page each. For systems
with busy traffic and many BPF programs, this could also add significant
pressure to instruction TLB. High iTLB pressure usually causes slow down
for the whole system, which includes visible performance degradation for
production workloads.

This set tries to solve this problem with customized allocator that pack
multiple programs into a huge page.

Patches 1-6 prepare the work. Patch 7 contains key logic of bpf_prog_pack
allocator. Patch 8 contains bpf_jit_binary_pack_alloc logic on top of
bpf_prog_pack allocator. Patch 9 uses this allocator in x86_64 jit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
