Merge branch 'optimize-bpf_tail_call'
Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== This gets rid of indirect jumps for BPF tail calls whenever possible. The series adds emission for *direct* jumps for tail call maps in order to avoid the retpoline overhead from a493a87f ("bpf, x64: implement retpoline for tail call") for situations that allow for it, meaning, for known constant keys at verification time which are used as index into the tail call map. See patch 7/8 for more general details. Thanks! v1 -> v2: - added more test cases - u8 ip_stable -> bool (Andrii) - removed bpf_map_poke_{un,}lock and simplified the code (Andrii) - added break into prog_array_map_poke_untrack since there's just one prog (Andrii) - fixed typo: for for in commit msg (Andrii) - reworked __bpf_arch_text_poke (Andrii) - added subtests, and comment on tests themselves, NULL-NULL transistion (Andrii) - in constant map key tracking I've moved the map_poke_track callback to once we've finished creating the poke tab as otherwise concurrent access from tail call map would blow up (since we realloc the table) rfc -> v1: - Applied Alexei's and Andrii's feeback from https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/cover.1573779287.git.daniel@iogearbox.net/T/#t ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
