When listing maps, read their "frozen" status from procfs, and tell if maps are frozen. As commit log for map freezing command mentions that the feature might be extended with flags (e.g. for write-only instead of read-only) in the future, use an integer and not a boolean for JSON output.

I opened /sys/kernel/tracing/trace once and kept reading from it. bpf_trace_printk somehow did not seem to work, no entries were appended to that trace file. It turns out that tracing is disabled when that file is open. Save the next person some time and document this. The trace file is described in Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst, however the implication "tracing is disabled" did not immediate translate to "bpf_trace_printk silently discards entries".

Building s390 kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF fails, because CONFIG_OUTPUT_FORMAT is not defined. As a matter of fact, this variable appears to be x86-only, so other arches might be affected as well. Fix by obtaining this value from objdump output, just like it's already done for bin_arch. The exact objdump invocation is "inspired" by arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper. Also, use LANG=C for the existing bin_arch objdump invocation to avoid potential build issues on systems with non-English locale.

For 32 bits, in some apps, like in samples xdpsock_user.c when number of pgs in use is quite big, the kmap memory can be not enough, despite on this, kmap looks like is deprecated in such cases as it can block and should be used rather for dynamic mm.

Quentin Monnet says: ==================== This set adds a new command BPF_BTF_GET_NEXT_ID to the bpf() system call, adds the relevant API function in libbpf, and uses it in bpftool to list all BTF objects loaded on the system (and to dump the ids of maps and programs associated with them, if any). The main motivation of listing BTF objects is introspection and debugging purposes. By getting BPF program and map information, it should already be possible to list all BTF objects associated to at least one map or one program. But there may be unattached BTF objects, held by a file descriptor from a user space process only, and we may want to list them too. As a side note, it also turned useful for examining the BTF objects attached to offloaded programs, which would not show in program information because the BTF id is not copied when retrieving such info. A fix is in progress on that side. v2: - Rebase patch with new libbpf function on top of Andrii's changes regarding libbpf versioning. ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

Quentin Monnet authored
Add a "btf list" (alias: "btf show") subcommand to bpftool in order to dump all BTF objects loaded on a system. When running the command, hash tables are built in bpftool to retrieve all the associations between BTF objects and BPF maps and programs. This allows for printing all such associations when listing the BTF objects. The command is added at the top of the subcommands for "bpftool btf", so that typing only "bpftool btf" also comes down to listing the programs. We could not have this with the previous command ("dump"), which required a BTF object id, so it should not break any previous behaviour. This also makes the "btf" command behaviour consistent with "prog" or "map". Bash completion is updated to use "bpftool btf" instead of "bpftool prog" to list the BTF ids, as it looks more consistent. Example output (plain): # bpftool btf show 9: size 2989B prog_ids 21 map_ids 15 17: size 2847B prog_ids 36 map_ids 30,29,28 26: size 2847B Signed-off-by: Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@netronome.com> Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

Björn Töpel says: ==================== This series (v5 and counting) add two improvements for the XSKMAP, used by AF_XDP sockets. 1. Automatic cleanup when an AF_XDP socket goes out of scope/is released. Instead of require that the user manually clears the "released" state socket from the map, this is done automatically. Each socket tracks which maps it resides in, and remove itself from those maps at relase. A notable implementation change, is that the sockets references the map, instead of the map referencing the sockets. Which implies that when the XSKMAP is freed, it is by definition cleared of sockets. 2. The XSKMAP did not honor the BPF_EXIST/BPF_NOEXIST flag on insert, which this patch addresses. v1->v2: Fixed deadlock and broken cleanup. (Daniel) v2->v3: Rebased onto bpf-next v3->v4: {READ, WRITE}_ONCE consistency. (Daniel) Socket release/map update race. (Daniel) v4->v5: Avoid use-after-free on XSKMAP self-assignment [1]. (Daniel) Removed redundant assignment in xsk_map_update_elem(). Variable name consistency; Use map_entry everywhere.

Björn Töpel authored
When an AF_XDP socket is released/closed the XSKMAP still holds a reference to the socket in a "released" state. The socket will still use the netdev queue resource, and block newly created sockets from attaching to that queue, but no user application can access the fill/complete/rx/tx queues. This results in that all applications need to explicitly clear the map entry from the old "zombie state" socket. This should be done automatically. In this patch, the sockets tracks, and have a reference to, which maps it resides in. When the socket is released, it will remove itself from all maps.

Don't uninstall an XDP program when none is installed, and don't install an XDP program that has the same ID as the one already installed. dev_change_xdp_fd doesn't perform any checks in case it uninstalls an XDP program. It means that the driver's ndo_bpf can be called with XDP_SETUP_PROG asking to set it to NULL even if it's already NULL. This case happens if the user runs `ip link set eth0 xdp off` when there is no XDP program attached. The symmetrical case is possible when the user tries to set the program that is already set. The drivers typically perform some heavy operations on XDP_SETUP_PROG, so they all have to handle these cases internally to return early if they happen. This patch puts this check into the kernel code, so that all drivers will benefit from it.

Magnus Karlsson says: ==================== This patch set adds support for a new flag called need_wakeup in the AF_XDP Tx and fill rings. When this flag is set by the driver, it means that the application has to explicitly wake up the kernel Rx (for the bit in the fill ring) or kernel Tx (for bit in the Tx ring) processing by issuing a syscall. Poll() can wake up both and sendto() will wake up Tx processing only. The main reason for introducing this new flag is to be able to efficiently support the case when application and driver is executing on the same core. Previously, the driver was just busy-spinning on the fill ring if it ran out of buffers in the HW and there were none to get from the fill ring. This approach works when the application and driver is running on different cores as the application can replenish the fill ring while the driver is busy-spinning. Though, this is a lousy approach if both of them are running on the same core as the probability of the fill ring getting more entries when the driver is busy-spinning is zero. With this new feature the driver now sets the need_wakeup flag and returns to the application. The application can then replenish the fill queue and then explicitly wake up the Rx processing in the kernel using the syscall poll(). For Tx, the flag is only set to one if the driver has no outstanding Tx completion interrupts. If it has some, the flag is zero as it will be woken up by a completion interrupt anyway. This flag can also be used in other situations where the driver needs to be woken up explicitly. As a nice side effect, this new flag also improves the Tx performance of the case where application and driver are running on two different cores as it reduces the number of syscalls to the kernel. The kernel tells user space if it needs to be woken up by a syscall, and this eliminates many of the syscalls. The Rx performance of the 2-core case is on the other hand slightly worse, since there is a need to use a syscall now to wake up the driver, instead of the driver busy-spinning. It does waste less CPU cycles though, which might lead to better overall system performance. This new flag needs some simple driver support. If the driver does not support it, the Rx flag is always zero and the Tx flag is always one. This makes any application relying on this feature default to the old behavior of not requiring any syscalls in the Rx path and always having to call sendto() in the Tx path. For backwards compatibility reasons, this feature has to be explicitly turned on using a new bind flag (XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP). I recommend that you always turn it on as it has a large positive performance impact for the one core case and does not degrade 2 core performance and actually improves it for Tx heavy workloads. Here are some performance numbers measured on my local, non-performance optimized development system. That is why you are seeing numbers lower than the ones from Björn and Jesper. 64 byte packets at 40Gbit/s line rate. All results in Mpps. Cores == 1 means that both application and driver is executing on the same core. Cores == 2 that they are on different cores. Applications need_wakeup cores txpush rxdrop l2fwd --------------------------------------------------------------- n 1 0.07 0.06 0.03 y 1 21.6 8.2 6.5 n 2 32.3 11.7 8.7 y 2 33.1 11.7 8.7 Overall, the need_wakeup flag provides the same or better performance in all the micro-benchmarks. The reduction of sendto() calls in txpush is large. Only a few per second is needed. For l2fwd, the drop is 50% for the 1 core case and more than 99.9% for the 2 core case. Do not know why I am not seeing the same drop for the 1 core case yet. The name and inspiration of the flag has been taken from io_uring by Jens Axboe. Details about this feature in io_uring can be found in http://kernel.dk/io_uring.pdf, section 8.3. It also addresses most of the denial of service and sendto() concerns raised by Maxim Mikityanskiy in https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg554657.html. The typical Tx part of an application will have to change from: ret = sendto(fd,....) to: if (xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup(&xsk->tx)) ret = sendto(fd,....) and th Rx part from: rcvd = xsk_ring_cons__peek(&xsk->rx, BATCH_SIZE, &idx_rx); if (!rcvd) return; to: rcvd = xsk_ring_cons__peek(&xsk->rx, BATCH_SIZE, &idx_rx); if (!rcvd) { if (xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup(&xsk->umem->fq)) ret = poll(fd,.....); return; } v3 -> v4: * Maxim found a possible race in the Tx part of the driver.

This commit adds support for the new need_wakeup feature of AF_XDP. The applications can opt-in by using the XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP bind() flag. When this feature is enabled, some behavior changes: RX side: If the Fill Ring is empty, instead of busy-polling, set the flag to tell the application to kick the driver when it refills the Fill Ring. TX side: If there are pending completions or packets queued for transmission, set the flag to tell the application that it can skip the sendto() syscall and save time. The performance testing was performed on a machine with the following configuration: - 24 cores of Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40 GHz - Mellanox ConnectX-5 Ex with 100 Gbit/s link The results with retpoline disabled: | without need_wakeup | with need_wakeup | |----------------------|----------------------| | one core | two cores | one core | two cores | -------|----------|-----------|----------|-----------| txonly | 20.1 | 33.5 | 29.0 | 34.2 | rxdrop | 0.065 | 14.1 | 12.0 | 14.1 | l2fwd | 0.032 | 7.3 | 6.6 | 7.2 | "One core" means the application and NAPI run on the same core. "Two cores" means they are pinned to different cores.

Two XSK tasks are performed during NAPI polling, that are not bound to hardware interrupts: TXing packets and polling for frames in the Fill Ring. They are special in a way that the hardware doesn't know about these tasks, so it doesn't trigger interrupts if there is still some work to be done, it's our driver's responsibility to ensure NAPI will be rescheduled if needed. Create a new function to handle these tasks and move the corresponding code from mlx5e_napi_poll to the new function to improve modularity and prepare for the changes in the following patch.

This commit adds using the need_wakeup flag to the xdpsock sample application. It is turned on by default as we think it is a feature that seems to always produce a performance benefit, if the application has been written taking advantage of it. It can be turned off in the sample app by using the '-m' command line option. The txpush and l2fwd sub applications have also been updated to support poll() with multiple sockets.
