The test_overhead bpf program is designed to compare performance
between tracepoint and kprobe. Initially it used task_rename and
urandom_read tracepoint.
However, commit 14c174633f ("random: remove unused tracepoints")
removed urandom_read tracepoint, and for this reason the test_overhead
got broken.
This commit introduces new microbenchmark using fib_table_lookup.
This microbenchmark sends UDP packets to localhost in order to invoke
fib_table_lookup.
In a nutshell:
fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(DUMMY_IP);
addr.sin_port = htons(DUMMY_PORT);
for() {
sendto(fd, buf, strlen(buf), 0,
(struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
}
on 4 cpus in parallel:
lookup per sec
base (no tracepoints, no kprobes) 381k
with kprobe at fib_table_lookup() 325k
with tracepoint at fib:fib_table_lookup 330k
with raw_tracepoint at fib:fib_table_lookup 365k
Fixes: 14c174633f ("random: remove unused tracepoints")

We have switched to memcg-based memory accouting and thus the rlimit is
not needed any more. LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK was introduced in
libbpf for backward compatibility, so we can use it instead now.
This patch also removes the useless header sys/resource.h from many files
in samples/bpf.

This commit refactors the existing program with libbpf bpf loader.
Since the kprobe, tracepoint and raw_tracepoint bpf program can be
attached with single bpf_program__attach() interface, so the
corresponding function of libbpf is used here.
Rather than specifying the number of cpus inside the code, this commit
uses the number of available cpus with _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN.

There are two files in the tree called libbpf.h which is becoming
problematic. Most samples don't actually need the local libbpf.h
they simply include it to get to bpf/bpf.h. Include bpf/bpf.h
directly instead.

the first microbenchmark does
fd=open("/proc/self/comm");
for() {
write(fd, "test");
}
and on 4 cpus in parallel:
writes per sec
base (no tracepoints, no kprobes) 930k
with kprobe at __set_task_comm() 420k
with tracepoint at task:task_rename 730k
For kprobe + full bpf program manully fetches oldcomm, newcomm via bpf_probe_read.
For tracepint bpf program does nothing, since arguments are copied by tracepoint.
2nd microbenchmark does:
fd=open("/dev/urandom");
for() {
read(fd, buf);
}
and on 4 cpus in parallel:
reads per sec
base (no tracepoints, no kprobes) 300k
with kprobe at urandom_read() 279k
with tracepoint at random:urandom_read 290k
bpf progs attached to kprobe and tracepoint are noop.
