bpf: add lookup/update support for per-cpu hash and array maps
The functions bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, key, value) and bpf_map_update_elem(map, key, value, flags) need to get/set values from all-cpus for per-cpu hash and array maps, so that user space can aggregate/update them as necessary. Example of single counter aggregation in user space: unsigned int nr_cpus = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF); long values[nr_cpus]; long value = 0; bpf_lookup_elem(fd, key, values); for (i = 0; i < nr_cpus; i++) value += values[i]; The user space must provide round_up(value_size, 8) * nr_cpus array to get/set values, since kernel will use 'long' copy of per-cpu values to try to copy good counters atomically. It's a best-effort, since bpf programs and user space are racing to access the same memory. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
