    selftest/bpf/benchs: Add bpf_loop benchmark · ec151037
    Joanne Koong authored
    Add benchmark to measure the throughput and latency of the bpf_loop
    call.
    
    Testing this on my dev machine on 1 thread, the data is as follows:
    
            nr_loops: 10
    bpf_loop - throughput: 198.519 ± 0.155 M ops/s, latency: 5.037 ns/op
    
            nr_loops: 100
    bpf_loop - throughput: 247.448 ± 0.305 M ops/s, latency: 4.041 ns/op
    
            nr_loops: 500
    bpf_loop - throughput: 260.839 ± 0.380 M ops/s, latency: 3.834 ns/op
    
            nr_loops: 1000
    bpf_loop - throughput: 262.806 ± 0.629 M ops/s, latency: 3.805 ns/op
    
            nr_loops: 5000
    bpf_loop - throughput: 264.211 ± 1.508 M ops/s, latency: 3.785 ns/op
    
            nr_loops: 10000
    bpf_loop - throughput: 265.366 ± 3.054 M ops/s, latency: 3.768 ns/op
    
            nr_loops: 50000
    bpf_loop - throughput: 235.986 ± 20.205 M ops/s, latency: 4.238 ns/op
    
            nr_loops: 100000
    bpf_loop - throughput: 264.482 ± 0.279 M ops/s, latency: 3.781 ns/op
    
            nr_loops: 500000
    bpf_loop - throughput: 309.773 ± 87.713 M ops/s, latency: 3.228 ns/op
    
            nr_loops: 1000000
    bpf_loop - throughput: 262.818 ± 4.143 M ops/s, latency: 3.805 ns/op
    
    >From this data, we can see that the latency per loop decreases as the
    number of loops increases. On this particular machine, each loop had an
    overhead of about ~4 ns, and we were able to run ~250 million loops
    per second.
