[bpf-next,v9,1/4] bpf: add bpf_get_cpu_time_counter kfunc

Commit Message

Vadim Fedorenko Nov. 23, 2024, 12:58 a.m. UTC

New kfunc to return ARCH-specific timecounter. The main reason to
implement this kfunc is to avoid extra overhead of benchmark
measurements, which are usually done by a pair of bpf_ktime_get_ns()
at the beginnig and at the end of the code block under benchmark.
This function doesn't implement conversion to the monotonic clock and
saves some CPU cycles because of it. Another point is when it's properly
JITed, it saves extra hundreds of cycles by receiving timecounter values
in single-digit amount of instructions. The delta values can be
translated into nanoseconds using kfunc introduced in the next patch.
For x86 BPF JIT converts this kfunc into rdtsc ordered call. Other
architectures will get JIT implementation too if supported. The fallback
is to call __arch_get_hw_counter().

The simplest use-case is added in 4th patch, where we calculate the time
spent by bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid() kfunc. More complex example is to
use session cookie to store timecounter value at kprobe/uprobe using
kprobe.session/uprobe.session, and calculate the difference at
kretprobe/uretprobe.
