kprobes: Optimize hot path by using percpu counter to collect 'nhit' statistics
When doing ebpf+kprobe on some hot TCP functions (e.g. tcp_rcv_established), the kprobe_dispatcher() function shows up in 'perf report'. In kprobe_dispatcher(), there is a lot of cache bouncing on 'tk->nhit++'. 'tk->nhit' and 'tk->tp.flags' also share the same cacheline. perf report (cycles:pp): 8.30% ipv4_dst_check 4.74% copy_user_enhanced_fast_string 3.93% dst_release 2.80% tcp_v4_rcv 2.31% queued_spin_lock_slowpath 2.30% _raw_spin_lock 1.88% mlx4_en_process_rx_cq 1.84% eth_get_headlen 1.81% ip_rcv_finish ~~~~ 1.71% kprobe_dispatcher ~~~~ 1.55% mlx4_en_xmit 1.09% __probe_kernel_read perf report after patch: 9.15% ipv4_dst_check 5.00% copy_user_enhanced_fast_string 4.12% dst_release 2.96% tcp_v4_rcv 2.50% _raw_spin_lock 2.39% queued_spin_lock_slowpath 2.11% eth_get_headlen 2.03% mlx4_en_process_rx_cq 1.69% mlx4_en_xmit 1.19% ip_rcv_finish 1.12% __probe_kernel_read 1.02% ehci_hcd_cleanup Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com> Cc: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Cc: Kernel Team <kernel-team@fb.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1454531308-2441898-1-git-send-email-kafai@fb.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
