This benchmark measures grace period latency and kthread cpu usage of RCU Tasks Trace when many processes are creating/deleting BPF local_storage. Intent here is to quantify improvement on these metrics after Paul's recent RCU Tasks patches [0]. Specifically, fork 15k tasks which call a bpf prog that creates/destroys task local_storage and sleep in a loop, resulting in many call_rcu_tasks_trace calls. To determine grace period latency, trace time elapsed between rcu_tasks_trace_pregp_step and rcu_tasks_trace_postgp; for cpu usage look at rcu_task_trace_kthread's stime in /proc/PID/stat. On my virtualized test environment (Skylake, 8 cpus) benchmark results demonstrate significant improvement: BEFORE Paul's patches: SUMMARY tasks_trace grace period latency avg 22298.551 us stddev 1302.165 us SUMMARY ticks per tasks_trace grace period avg 2.291 stddev 0.324 AFTER Paul's patches: SUMMARY tasks_trace grace period latency avg 16969.197 us stddev 2525.053 us SUMMARY ticks per tasks_trace grace period avg 1.146 stddev 0.178 Note that since these patches are not in bpf-next benchmarking was done by cherry-picking this patch onto rcu tree.
