[PATCHv2 bpf-next 0/5] libbpf: Make optimized uprobes backward compatible

[PATCHv2 bpf-next 0/5] libbpf: Make optimized uprobes backward compatible

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
we can currently optimize uprobes on top of nop5 instructions,
so application can define USDT_NOP to nop5 and use USDT macro
to define optimized usdt probes.

This works fine on new kernels, but could have performance penalty
on older kernels, that do not have the support to optimize and to
emulate nop5 instruction.

This patchset adds support to workaround the performance penalty
on older kernels that do not support uprobe optimization, please
see detailed description in patch 2.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20251117083551.517393-1-jolsa@kernel.org/

v2 changes:
- after more investigation we realized there are some versions of
  bpftrace and stap that does not work with solution suggested in
  version 1, so we decided to switch to following solution:

  - change USDT macro [1] emits nop,nop5 instructions combo by
    default
  - libbpf detects nop,nop5 instructions combo for USDT probe,
    if there is and if uprobe syscall is detected libbpf installs
    usdt probe on top of nop5 instruction to get it optimized

- added usdt trigger benchmarks [Andrii]
- several small fixes on uprobe syscall detection, tests and other places [Andrii]
- true usdt.h source [1] updated [Andrii]
- compile usdt_* objects unconditionally [Andrii]

thanks,
jirka

[PATCHv2 bpf-next 2/5] libbpf: Add support to detect nop,nop5 instructions combo for usdt probe

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding support to detect nop,nop5 instructions combo for usdt probe
by checking on probe's following nop5 instruction.

When the nop,nop5 combo is detected together with uprobe syscall,
we can place the probe on top of nop5 and get it optimized.

[PATCHv2 bpf-next 3/5] selftests/bpf: Emit nop,no5 instructions combo for x86_64 arch

[Jiri Olsa]

Syncing latest usdt.h change [1].

Now that we have no5 optimization support in kernel, let's emit
nop,nop5 for usdt probe. We leave it up to the library to use
desirable nop instruction.

[PATCHv2 bpf-next 4/5] selftests/bpf: Add test for checking correct nop of optimized usdt

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding test that attaches bpf program on usdt probe in 2 scenarios;

- attach program on top of usdt_1, which is single nop instruction,
  so the probe stays on nop instruction and is not optimized.

- attach program on top of usdt_2 which is probe defined on top
  of nop,nop5 combo, so the probe is placed on top of nop5 and
  is optimized.

[PATCHv2 bpf-next 5/5] selftests/bpf: Add usdt trigger bench

Adding usdt trigger bench for usdt:
 trig-usdt_nop - usdt on top of nop1 instruction
 trig-usdt_nop_combo - usdt on top of nop1/nop5 combo

  # ./benchs/run_bench_uprobes.sh
  usermode-count :  152.507 ± 0.098M/s
  syscall-count  :   14.309 ± 0.093M/s
  uprobe-nop     :    3.190 ± 0.012M/s
  uprobe-push    :    3.057 ± 0.004M/s
  uprobe-ret     :    1.095 ± 0.009M/s
  uprobe-nop5    :    7.305 ± 0.034M/s
  uretprobe-nop  :    2.175 ± 0.005M/s
  uretprobe-push :    2.109 ± 0.003M/s
  uretprobe-ret  :    0.945 ± 0.002M/s
  uretprobe-nop5 :    3.530 ± 0.006M/s
  usdt_nop       :    3.235 ± 0.008M/s   <-- added
  usdt_nop_combo :    7.511 ± 0.045M/s   <-- added

> selftests/bpf: Emit nop,no5 instructions combo for x86_64 arch

This isn't a bug, but there's a typo in the subject line. "no5" should
be "nop5".

> Now that we have no5 optimization support in kernel, let's emit

The same typo appears here in the commit body.

Without the trailing underscores, the function definition will not be
compiled on x86_64 while the call will be, leading to a linker error.

Should this use SEC("?usdt") instead of SEC("usdt")?

All other programs in this file use the '?' prefix to disable autoload by
default:

    SEC("?uprobe")
    SEC("?uprobe.multi")
    SEC("?raw_tp")
    SEC("?kprobe/bpf_get_numa_node_id")
    ...

Without the '?' prefix, bench_trigger_usdt will be auto-loaded whenever the
trigger_bench skeleton is loaded by any benchmark using setup_ctx()/load_ctx(),
adding unnecessary overhead to unrelated benchmarks.

it actually compiles, interestingly enough __x86_64 is allowed as well,
but it's a typo.. will fix, thnx
