A lot of the performance gain comes from this patch.

While analysing performance overhead it was found that the largest CPU
stalls were caused when touching the struct page area. It is first read with
a READ_ONCE from build_skb_around via page_is_pfmemalloc(), and when freed
written by page_frag_free() call.

Measurements show that the prefetchw (W) variant operation is needed to
achieve the performance gain. We believe this optimization it two fold,
first the W-variant saves one step in the cache-coherency protocol, and
second it helps us to avoid the non-temporal prefetch HW optimizations and
bring this into all cache-levels. It might be worth investigating if
prefetch into L2 will have the same benefit.

As cpumap now batch consume xdp_frame's from the ptr_ring, it knows how many
SKBs it need to allocate. Thus, lets bulk allocate these SKBs via
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() API, and use the previously introduced function
build_skb_around().

Notice that the flag __GFP_ZERO asks the slab/slub allocator to clear the
memory for us. This does clear a larger area than needed, but my micro
benchmarks on Intel CPUs show that this is slightly faster due to being a
cacheline aligned area is cleared for the SKBs. (For SLUB allocator, there
is a future optimization potential, because SKBs will with high probability
originate from same page. If we can find/identify continuous memory areas
then the Intel CPU memset rep stos will have a real performance gain.)

Move ptr_ring dequeue outside loop, that allocate SKBs and calls network
stack, as these operations that can take some time. The ptr_ring is a
communication channel between CPUs, where we want to reduce/limit any
cacheline bouncing.

Do a concentrated bulk dequeue via ptr_ring_consume_batched, to shorten the
period and times the remote cacheline in ptr_ring is read

Batch size 8 is both to (1) limit BH-disable period, and (2) consume one
cacheline on 64-bit archs. After reducing the BH-disable section further
then we can consider changing this, while still thinking about L1 cacheline
size being active.

<title>xdp: fix cpumap redirect SKB creation bug</title>

<id>urn:sha1:676e4a6fe703f2dae699ee9d56f14516f9ada4ea</id>
<content type='text'>
We want to avoid leaking pointer info from xdp_frame (that is placed in
top of frame) like commit 6dfb970d3dbd ("xdp: avoid leaking info stored in
frame data on page reuse"), and followup commit 97e19cce05e5 ("bpf:
reserve xdp_frame size in xdp headroom") that reserve this headroom.

These changes also affected how cpumap constructed SKBs, as xdpf-&gt;headroom
size changed, the skb data starting point were in-effect shifted with 32
bytes (sizeof xdp_frame). This was still okay, as the cpumap frame_size
calculation also included xdpf-&gt;headroom which were reduced by same amount.

A bug was introduced in commit 77ea5f4cbe20 ("bpf/cpumap: make sure
frame_size for build_skb is aligned if headroom isn't"), where the
xdpf-&gt;headroom became part of the SKB_DATA_ALIGN rounding up. This
round-up to find the frame_size is in principle still correct as it does
not exceed the 2048 bytes frame_size (which is max for ixgbe and i40e),
but the 32 bytes offset of pkt_data_start puts this over the 2048 bytes
limit. This cause skb_shared_info to spill into next frame. It is a little
hard to trigger, as the SKB need to use above 15 skb_shinfo-&gt;frags[] as
far as I calculate. This does happen in practise for TCP streams when
skb_try_coalesce() kicks in.

KASAN can be used to detect these wrong memory accesses, I've seen:
 BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in skb_try_coalesce+0x3cb/0x760
 BUG: KASAN: wild-memory-access in skb_release_data+0xe2/0x250

Driver veth also construct a SKB from xdp_frame in this way, but is not
affected, as it doesn't reserve/deduct the room (used by xdp_frame) from
the SKB headroom. Instead is clears the pointers via xdp_scrub_frame(),
and allows SKB to use this area.

The fix in this patch is to do like veth and instead allow SKB to (re)use
the area occupied by xdp_frame, by clearing via xdp_scrub_frame().  (This
does kill the idea of the SKB being able to access (mem) info from this
area, but I guess it was a bad idea anyhow, and it was already killed by
the veth changes.)

The frame_size passed to build_skb must be aligned, else it is
possible that the embedded struct skb_shared_info gets unaligned.

For correctness make sure that xdpf-&gt;headroom in included in the
alignment. No upstream drivers can hit this, as all XDP drivers provide
an aligned headroom.  This was discovered when playing with implementing
XDP support for mvneta, which have a 2 bytes DSA header, and this
Marvell ARM64 platform didn't like doing atomic operations on an
unaligned skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;dataref addresses.

<title>bpf: fix redirect to map under tail calls</title>

Commits 109980b894e9 ("bpf: don't select potentially stale ri-&gt;map
from buggy xdp progs") and 7c3001313396 ("bpf: fix ri-&gt;map_owner
pointer on bpf_prog_realloc") tried to mitigate that buggy programs
using bpf_redirect_map() helper call do not leave stale maps behind.
Idea was to add a map_owner cookie into the per CPU struct redirect_info
which was set to prog-&gt;aux by the prog making the helper call as a
proof that the map is not stale since the prog is implicitly holding
a reference to it. This owner cookie could later on get compared with
the program calling into BPF whether they match and therefore the
redirect could proceed with processing the map safely.

In (obvious) hindsight, this approach breaks down when tail calls are
involved since the original caller's prog-&gt;aux pointer does not have
to match the one from one of the progs out of the tail call chain,
and therefore the xdp buffer will be dropped instead of redirected.
A way around that would be to fix the issue differently (which also
allows to remove related work in fast path at the same time): once
the life-time of a redirect map has come to its end we use it's map
free callback where we need to wait on synchronize_rcu() for current
outstanding xdp buffers and remove such a map pointer from the
redirect info if found to be present. At that time no program is
using this map anymore so we simply invalidate the map pointers to
NULL iff they previously pointed to that instance while making sure
that the redirect path only reads out the map once.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-08-13

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Add driver XDP support for veth. This can be used in conjunction with
   redirect of another XDP program e.g. sitting on NIC so the xdp_frame
   can be forwarded to the peer veth directly without modification,
   from Toshiaki.

2) Add a new BPF map type REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY and prog type SK_REUSEPORT
   in order to provide more control and visibility on where a SO_REUSEPORT
   sk should be located, and the latter enables to directly select a sk
   from the bpf map. This also enables map-in-map for application migration
   use cases, from Martin.

3) Add a new BPF helper bpf_skb_ancestor_cgroup_id() that returns the id
   of cgroup v2 that is the ancestor of the cgroup associated with the
   skb at the ancestor_level, from Andrey.

4) Implement BPF fs map pretty-print support based on BTF data for regular
   hash table and LRU map, from Yonghong.

5) Decouple the ability to attach BTF for a map from the key and value
   pretty-printer in BPF fs, and enable further support of BTF for maps for
   percpu and LPM trie, from Daniel.

6) Implement a better BPF sample of using XDP's CPU redirect feature for
   load balancing SKB processing to remote CPU. The sample implements the
   same XDP load balancing as Suricata does which is symmetric hash based
   on IP and L4 protocol, from Jesper.

7) Revert adding NULL pointer check with WARN_ON_ONCE() in __xdp_return()'s
   critical path as it is ensured that the allocator is present, from Björn.

Commit a26ca7c982cb ("bpf: btf: Add pretty print support to
the basic arraymap") and 699c86d6ec21 ("bpf: btf: add pretty
print for hash/lru_hash maps") enabled support for BTF and
dumping via BPF fs for array and hash/lru map. However, both
can be decoupled from each other such that regular BPF maps
can be supported for attaching BTF key/value information,
while not all maps necessarily need to dump via map_seq_show_elem()
callback.

The basic sanity check which is a prerequisite for all maps
is that key/value size has to match in any case, and some maps
can have extra checks via map_check_btf() callback, e.g.
probing certain types or indicating no support in general. With
that we can also enable retrieving BTF info for per-cpu map
types and lpm.

When removing a cpumap entry, a number of syncronization steps happen.
Eventually the teardown code __cpu_map_entry_free is invoked from/via
call_rcu.

The teardown code __cpu_map_entry_free() flushes remaining xdp_frames,
by invoking bq_flush_to_queue, which calls xdp_return_frame_rx_napi().
The issues is that the teardown code is not running in the RX NAPI
code path.  Thus, it is not allowed to invoke the NAPI variant of
xdp_return_frame.

This bug was found and triggered by using the --stress-mode option to
the samples/bpf program xdp_redirect_cpu.  It is hard to trigger,
because the ptr_ring have to be full and cpumap bulk queue max
contains 8 packets, and a remote CPU is racing to empty the ptr_ring
queue.
