[bpf-next,1/4] bpf: Introduce global percpu data

Commit Message

Leon Hwang Jan. 27, 2025, 4:21 p.m. UTC

This patch introduces global percpu data, inspired by commit
6316f78306c1 ("Merge branch 'support-global-data'"). It enables the
definition of global percpu variables in BPF, similar to the
DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro in the kernel[0].

For example, in BPF, it is able to define a global percpu variable like
this:

int percpu_data SEC(".percpu");

With this patch, tools like retsnoop[1] and bpflbr[2] can simplify their
BPF code for handling LBRs. The code can be updated from

static struct perf_branch_entry lbrs[1][MAX_LBR_ENTRIES] SEC(".data.lbrs");

to

static struct perf_branch_entry lbrs[MAX_LBR_ENTRIES] SEC(".percpu.lbrs");

This eliminates the need to retrieve the CPU ID using the
bpf_get_smp_processor_id() helper.

Additionally, by reusing global percpu data map, sharing information
between tail callers and callees or freplace callers and callees becomes
simpler compared to reusing percpu_array maps.
